of Unusual June Weather.

The farmers Of the county are vC~y
much worried just now on account of
damage which may result to cotton
because of the continued cold wet
weather. The Oat crop which has
not been cut but whchi is a small part
OF the general crop, is thought to be
practically ruined, while that shock
ed in the fields it is hoped will dry out
when warm dry weather returns.
The people of the city have had to
go into their winter closets and pull
out their blankets and replace them
Tor the time, something most unusual
In the month of June. At the same
time many persons had taken down
their heaters and closed up their
CRATES for the winter.
Heaters and stoves had to be haul-
ed out from the lumber rooms and
crates to be opened up, for the fires
felt very comfortable day and night
during the past few days.
Men and women have been seen on
the streets wearing overcoats, winter
mats and other garments, which had
been laid by when the warmer wealth
er came and which had to be gotten
out again, something most unusual
for June, and still there are no signs
of a let-up.
