Good Rains Fail
Over This Co.

The various slow and heavy rains
which have recently fallen, finally
reached all over the county, includ-
ing the Life section West of Lex.
ington, where the ground was never
really wet until last Monday.
Farmers all agree that unless
something unforeseen happens to
change the prospect, there is going
to be the biggest corn crop ever
made in the county and barring
the bad effect of the excess. of rain
which has fallen this week, the cot
ton prospect has been materially
improved.
Other "side-line" crops, such as
potatoes of both both kinds, sor-
ghum, ETC., are making a fine show
ing---and many are going to at
tempt a second crop Of Irish pota-
toes.
There is some cholera among the
hogs Of the county, which fact
coupled with the sale of many
young hogs since last winter, is Co.
ing to make the local meat supply
rather short. Taken all in all, old
Henderson county seems pretty
well supplied with the necessities OF
life with a fair prospect for the
coming winter and the remainder
of the year until another crop shall
be pitched.
