The crop in this section is very poor indeed, and it is very likely that not more than half crop will be gathered. The farmers should begin now hedging against corn buying next year. as 1t is bound to be high They should save hay, peas, pea vines and everything that can be used for feed stuffs.
 Greensboro watchman: The prospects for cotton crop are good in most parts of Hale county. Rain Is beginning to be needed again. However, no estimate can be made of the probable yield of this crop at this early date. It is the most uncer- tain crop that grows. It may look like bale to the acre one week, and the next doubts will be entertained as to making seed.

A Curious Old Passage .

A curious old subterranean passage
has just been discovered underneath
the courtyard of the Gobelins factory
says the Paris Messenger. 1t is over
twenty feet high and carefully walled
with blocks of stones symmetrically
cut. 1t has fallen in about fifty feet
from the opening, but it is proposed
to clear the way and seek the outlet at
the other end. One authority, M.
Seller, is of opinion that it runs all
the way from the Boulevard st. Mar
eel to the convent of the Cordeliers
st. Marcel, where now stands the Hos
p;.al Of Louicine. 1t is said to date
back to the sixteenth century.

called party OF martyrs There is no
other political party in the history Of
the constitutional government that has
paid so heavy cost in the murder of
its chosen leaders. Every President
elevated by the Republicans, or who
formerly succeeded to office by death,
has passed away. OF the Vice Presi-

Party is less than fifty years old. The
