AUTUMN IN DIXIE.

The murmuring pines their slen- der fingers shake, And drop their cones of per- fume at their feet; The birch through all it's grace ful limbs doth quake; The muscadine hangs there, all purpled deep, While wild grape clusters, from the sunlight pure distilled, Hang purpling from the for est trees strong arms; The wild plum turns its crimson cheek
 To catch the last rays of the dying sun. Upon the hills the yellow golden rod
 Waves in rich splendor over rock and clod; The aster and the sunfower bravely stand Like devotees of beauty in a stranger land. Throughout the air autumnal music plays,
 And Love and Life dance there, these sunny days.

WEATHER AND CROPS.

Previous rains and rain that fell the first of the week made the soil too wet for crops and farm work in nearly all portions of the state. Temperatures were low and at the end of the week they were the lowest on record for August since 1891.
 In the lowlands, crops were nearly all ruined by the flood. Cotton plants were nearly all killed and corn is rotting. In the uplands cotton made some progress, but temperatures were too low for it to do much, especially the last of the week. Alfalfa and pastures put on new growth potatoes were rotting in the ground in some places sweet potatoes and truck did well.
 Upland cotton is reported in fair to good condition; lowland poor or destroyed. Late corn in the uplands was in good to ex- cellent condition; alfalfa, forage was in excellent condition; po- tatoes, good; sweet potatoes, ex- cellent; garden truck continued plentiful.-H. s. Cole, Section Director.
