 A drummer in Gadsden Wednesday
 was telling of the splendid crops on
 Sand and Bindlee mountains. He has
 been traveling over both mountains for the past three weeks and he states
 that he never saw better crops of cot
 ton and corn and hay in his life. He
 says the cotton on and around Eddy, Grassy, Arab, Joppa and Warrenton is a splendid average, but that he never
 saw so much red rust on the moun- taIns. He further states that the crop
 of pea vine hay is immense, In fact,
 that it is far larger than any similar crop ever raised on the mountain since he has been travelling among the farm
 CTS of that section. The farmers on sand mountain farm in an intelligent
 manner and always make good crops.
