The two new bridges over the sloughs
in Loosahatchie bottom north Of this
city on the CovingtOn road have been
completed and appear to be in every
way splendid. They were built under
contract to Ben Rhea and j. A. Win
frey Jr., the longer bridge to the latter
and the shorter to the former. Both
bridges were badly needed and remove
fear of danger to every one who has
crossed them for months past.

weeds and you'll feel better for having
done good deed.

According to farmers who were in
Somerville on last Saturday the heavy
rains of last week did lots of good to
crops and the wind which followed did
more or less damage, particularly to
corn. Farmers do not report alike on
the damage done to the corn crop. But
The Falcon concludes from the different
views that the Oldest corn is very little
injured, while the second planting.
much Of it just now in roasting ear,
was badly injured, and the young corn
will, in the main, strighten up
sufficiently to make about as much as
if no wind had blown it down. The
rain was heavyin every section Of the
county and few report damage to
bottom crops from overfows, but these
are few. Most farmers believe that
there will be much more corn raised
than in many years, not withstanding |
the drowth and the wind. One of the
best farmers in the county said that
there is already on his cotton better
crop than he made last year, and others
feel that good cotton yield is now
assured. 1t is encouraging, too, to
hear such large number of farmers
talking of their plans now in progress
to plant oats and other winter crops. |
