There was q general improve
ment in crops in this county and
near home during the past week.
However there are other places
that have not enjoyed any inn
provement on account of general
showers, which kept labor from
the fields for the greater part OF
the time.
It seems certain that in certain
parts of the states in many low
lands the crops may not be re-
deemed from the grass. In this
state many of the bottoms are
under water, which has receded
very slowly.
The great need of the crop in
this belt is cultivation. There
are some plantations that have
not suffered severely either be-
cause the lands were well drained
or because rains were not Excess
sive. The plant is late and has
not set fruit as usual at this date.
Showers fell over this section
during the past week, but all
localities had two or four bright
days, and much cultivation was
accomplished in that time.
About seven more days is requir-
ed without rain to complete the
work. River and creek bottoms
are, in many instances, under
water, and in other low places
the crop will have to be abandon.
ed. Where the plant has stood
for four weeks without cultivation
it has lost considerable vitality
and a full crop does not nov
seem possible, albeit some neigh
borhoods have fair prospects.
Both the old and new corn are
doing splendidly, and this end O
the game is giving the planter:

When a corporation is making
itself fat from the profits and pro-
lection it enjoys from a city, it
should certainly be aggressive in
affording good service to its
patrons. The Cumberland Tele-
phone Co. has already consumed
nearly two months in installing
phones in various parts of the
city. A little of the red tape
should be cut out and telephones
installed Immediately when asked
for. Many of the citizens have
been without phones on this ac-
count.

Surely the City Council will see
fit to make arrangements and in
stall a more complete sewerage
system and provide ample service
for those who are in sore need of
better water and sewerage con-
nections.
Out in Congress Heights, Aus
tin Wright Addition, and the 9TH

wood has expanded, many of our
citizens are without sewerage and
have had to pipe water to their
home at private expense. They
have been Inconvenience by dig
ging their own cess pools, which
sewerage should have been fur

An issuance of bonds to improve
tho sewerage system of our city,
to afford our citizens the conven-
fences that are due them, must be
done Immediately. This expense
will be a pactical one, as the reve-
nue. derived from the service in
stalled would more than easily
pay off all the indebtedness. In
fact the revenue would place more
money into the Golfers of the COM
mission.
We are all anxious to see these
new additions, to have this newly
incorporated territory filled with
new homes. The Council has
wisely ordered that no water ano
light connections be given to par.
ties residing without the city linn.

residents within the limits. She
should now provide for those
who are within the corporation
and have been subjected to much
expense and many inconvenience
The promoters and property-ow
ners in these additions cannot at

occupy this new territory unless
they can assure them of all neces
sary conveniences. No persol
cares to erect a home and NOV,
