OAKLAND

Oakland, July 18.-During the high
waters all streams in this section were
higher than was ever known before.
Some bottom land not subject to high
water heretofore and which had a fine
prospect for corn crop is now hope
less prospect. Not only was the bot
tom land corn damaged but all crops,
more or less, was injured to great
extent.
To compare the present cotton crop
with other cotton crops under normal
conditions I believe the present crop
will be cut almost half because of the
extreme weather conditions. Cotton
didn't come up until time for it to be
cultivated and now that it is time for
cultivation to cease it must be de-
prived of at least two ploughings and
then probably be left to battle with
the hay field.
The heavy cost of rebuilding the
bridges in Union county will cost the
taxpayers small margin for a few
years to raise the funds but what if
all this destruction had come and
found the county already under bond
for the enormous sum of $250,000,
which was wanted for road building?
Look before you leap and think be-
fore you speak is two sayings worth
while to recognize and to store in our
mental vocabulary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence Gault and
two children of Denison, Texas, ar
rived last Thursday to visit their pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Gault. Mr..
Gault says that the crops beyond the
Mississippi river are burning up be-
cause of the lack of rain and from the
river on this way they are very small
and in some places they are in very
serious condition because of grass and
wet weather.
