William Goodyear, the democratic
candidate for congress from this dis
trict, arrived here yesterday and ad-
dressed the voters in the opera house
last night. The Echo goes to press
Thursday night and for this reason it
was impossible to get a report of his
speech. Mr.. Goodyear is in the news
paper business at Colfax, where he has
lived for many years, and has won a
large personal following by getting out
one of the best country newspapers in
the state. He is quite an entertaining
talker and a very pleasant gentleman
to meet.

THE WEATHER

The very unfavorable weather
during the past month has
cast a gloom on our entire COM
munity. Severe colds and la
grippe are prevalent everywhere.
There is scarcely a household that
has not one or more of it's victims,
and in many cases entire families
are down.
Field operations have been in
statu quo on account OF the unpro-
pitious weather. From what we
can learn, there has been little
blowing or other field work done.
It is the intention of our farmers
to diversity their crops and plant
more corn and truck patches. 1t is
true that the merchants are not
inclined to make advances, and
the supposition is that many who
will seek advances will be disap-
pointed. This has been a hard year,
Notwithstanding the fair prices
of cotton.
