cron Conditions Bad.

Prattville, Ala, Aug. 5.-There have
been several local showers this week,
but the condition of the cotton crop
is still very bad. The best estimate
for the county gives not exceeding a

one.fourth a crop of corn. The farm.
ers who came in from the river say
that there are several farms on the
river that will not make better than a
bale to 10 acres. Many farms will
not make corn at all.
