OXFORD. Miss, Aug. H.
The condition of cotton in La
fayette County is the worst in
it, history. From the 81 of May
70 the 21st of July it rained every
day but four. and those four were
partly cloudy over a very large
part of the county. Grass and
weeds almost took the crop during
that time, and the activity Of the
weevil was more marked than in
any other year There has been
no rain since the slst Of July, and
the fields have been either cleaned
or abandoned. and quite a con-
siderable acreage Of the very best
land IN the county mas been ahan-
doned- All these conditions have

Well Entertained

The Live Stock Special Excursion
train which left Grand Forks on Mon

who took the two thousand mile trip
for the sole purpose of visiting the
greatest live stock exhibition on the
Continent, getting in touch with the
best varieties of stock and the best
methods of caring for animals, and
availing themselves of number OF
sources of information enroute, es-
pecially at St. Paul and Madison,
where arrangements had been made
for stops of an entire day in each
place.
The assemblage was made at Grand.

Just a Jolly time, in which old friends
greeted each other, new acquaintances
