About "Craps."

AOOut '.SIdPs' za.ls
This is from the Halifax Gazette:
d When farmers prosper every class OF
business is general buoyant While the
Wheat and oat crops in the Piedmont
section OF Virginia were short and IN
ferior. in tho Valley the crops were fair
" good. The grass crop in all sections
Of grass growing counties was an ex = !.
ceptionally good one and now commands
the highest price for several years. The
gardens We're never better and vege-
tables plentiful everywhere. The apple
crop In most counties Is abundant. and
Is n source Of great income. The crop
Of corn never looked more promising than h1,t
little rain hereafter the yield will be
great. Tobacco Is promising, but owing
to the scarcity of labor the acreage IS
less than last year. The prlmings Of the
crop are being marketed, and where they
have good color, are commanding as good
prices as they did last, year. when tho
general average was about five dollars.
The future for the agriculturist looks I'M
usually bright
