washer, is needed and as the clouds
are loafing around every day with al
occasional sprinkle, we may expect
plenty OF precipitation soon. The
crops are standing the drouth remark
ably we'll, and if seasonable rains
come in time the harvest will be all
that can be desired.

all kinds at very lowest prices. -

ing Association, the other and con-
tents were total loss. One of the
houses was occupied by Mr.. George
Norwood and the other by colored
family.
