Cooks Point Prospects.

]. J.. PRESLEY of Cooks Point was
in the city today mingling with his
many friends, and talking to an Eagle
reporter expressed himself as disap-
pointed in the cotton crop of his sec.
ton. He says that quarter of bale
to the acre will be splendid output
for his section, owing to the drouth,
and that very little rain has fallen
since early in June. When asked
about the first planting of corn, he
said there would scarcely be a nubbin,
which the reporter thought looked
pretty bad, but when he explained
that they would all be good-sized ears
of corn he was notified In fact,
splendid crop of corn will be looked
for from this section, although the
cotton may not do SO well. The worms
are not doing much damage SO far.
