LIFE AROUND LISBON.
The Crop Situation-H0use Burned
Hot Supper MiX-up.

Lisbon. August 30.-The farmers are
about through with fodder-made a
fine Weld, but on account of the dry
spell some of it is very inferior. We
find after pulling the fodder the corn
is not as good as we expect. yet the
crop of corn is much better than that
OF last year. We can't think now
that the cotton crop Will yield as
much as that of last year. from the
fact that the crop is late. We have not
seen an open boil of cotton to date.
At this date last year we could have
done very good days work in some
parts of the farm. Rain could help
yet and we would be glad to have a
good season.
We had the pleasure of viewing
Col. ID. H. Counts farm last Monday
