From Uncle Ned.

What do you know about this wealth
er? = Snow, rain, and sleet, all in one
day-and I was planting corn in the
snow. Now if we only plant enough
grain, potatoes, etc. to do us this year
and some to spare, we will be the "Top
Dog" The farmers are hard at it and
the few days of good weather have
been great benefit. / was awfully
scared yesterday for fear we were GO
ing to loose our luscious peaches, but
nothing was hurt. So far the fruit
crop promises to be good.
When will this "cruel war be over?"
SO things can be loosened up. And why
should money matters be 80 tight when
we have been paid over 400 millions
for our exports, and all the factories
working over time. "Be TO- de war"
an old negro was asked what was he
doing chopping so hard, he said, "Boss,
l am chopping cotton 30 Marster kan
make more money to buy more negroes
to make more cotton" So it is now
with the ecotton planter, he is clearing
up more land to make more cotton to
borrow more money to enrich those
that feed him and .impoverish himself.
