Our genial friend, Mr.. w. A. Sasser,
living across the river from Ebenezer
Church, showed us a cotton bloom
last week, which is the earliest we
ever saw in this section. The cotton
from which he gathered it was plant
ed the fifth of April. Mr.. Sassesr is
OAAO "a AhO NOOALJ pa O6l 1dI
ers, and has converted his farm,
which was very poor when he bought
it few years ago, into a very pro-
ductive one, from which he gathers
not only early cotton blooms, but an
abundance OF other farm products
Blackberries are holding the boards
~
the blackberries. There is an abun-
dant crop, and when a fellow gets so
he can't make a meal on four black
berry pies, or a roll as Big as bun
die of oats, and gallon of butter
milk, right out of the well, he is
fit subject for some health resort,
where they make a speciality of sharp
ening appetites, and taking the edge
off of bank accounts. Blackberries,
Beans, and Buttermilk-the three
BIS, the kind that satisfies.
The big blue ground huckleberries
will soon be ripe, and the crop is
large, which we know will be good
news to the courteous u. M. H." IL
9the abundance of the crop has any
,thing to do with inspiring his poeti-
cal propensities, we are looking for
his very best effusion this year. We
saw enough around two stumps Sun
eday (and we were not huckleberrying
eeither) to make more pies than two
could eat, and they were the largest
we ever saw. In fact, they were so
large, our good friend Jim Hooks
thought they were gooseberries.
II a dry June begs no bread, we are
to infer that the corn crop will not
.e as bount:fii as present prospects
indicate. Though it has been too
wet during this month. the corn crop
is the best we ever saw in this sec
ton. But the farmers generally have
used lime, and those who did not
planted on land where peavine hay
was raised last year. and some have
used fertilizer for corn instead of
putting it all under cotton. We think
our farmers are awakened to the fact
that corn should be king instead OF
cotton.
Mr.. Troy Hinnant, of Greenleaf, and
Mr.. Jess Bailey, from over the river
are operating threshing outfit, and

threshing wheat. They threshe6
about eighty bushels for Messrs. LoT
Dali and Jethro Howell on Friday
and some of our neighbors will not bt
very much concerned about the higf
price of -four, as they will have whea
to take to mill, and yet old-fashionee
il not the whitest.
