crop condition. Young corn is in
fine growing condition and the
favorable weather during the past
two weeks has brought the cotton
plant to a normal growth and a
good color. The great fear of the
southern farmer is the failure of
the cotton crop, but when the move
for home supplies of hay and grain
is fully developed we will have
nothing to fear. The finest alfal-
ia hay ever grown was grown on
Mississippi soil, and the fact that
wheat has been successfully grown
in this state should make our
bread crop certain.

The boor, of any style or ilk,
Is but the greater boor in silk,
The dress but marks the more his
boorishness;
No person ever yet arose
Above himself by help of clothes
The manner makes the man and
not the dress.
