PENITENTIARY HARVEST.
4 Tho management Of the penitentiary
says the work OF harvesting the crops
on the State farm is well under way now.
They have 400 acres In cotton this year,
as compared with 1900 last season. but
expect fuller yield per acre this fall than
last, SO that the number Of bales will be
nearly the same. There are 1000 acres
OF corn to be harvested and 600 acres OF
ground peas, the yield In both being evil
DENLY very good.
A canvass OF the houses in tho city
has developed the fact that about 1880
visitors, In addition to the regular guests
expected In the various homes, can BIO
provided with lodgings during the fair.
OF course. tho great bulk OF the crowd
that will come to the fair will DO here
for only the day, and will not, therefore,
want lodgings at night Tho city au-
thorities and the management Of the
Bureau of Information think they will
have no trouble in caring for all vino want
lodging.
