The corn crop is fairly good
generally, where properly cul-
tivated. The cotton crop will
in my opinion be short. There
is a good-sized weed but the hot
weather recently caused the
fruit to drop, thus reducing the
yield probably one-half.
Mr. l. L Mccullough, overseer
of the public road, deserves
commentator for the work
done on the road from Benson to
DR. J s Cunningham's. This
piece of road, when completed,
will be. second to none IN the
county. The upper end of this
road--from here to Nexsen's
store-appears to have been
overlooked. There are d num-
ber of bad places aud the bush
es on either side will have soon
grown to trees, when the road
will be narrowed to just a trail
wide en- ough for a single buggy.

good advantage along this road.
