Plans have been made for large
planting of wheat and other fall crops
this year and the long drowthis serving
to hold these preparations in check, no
blowing being possible now nor for
weeks past in most parts Of this cou0-
ty. And yet the short corn and hay
crops make more needful than ever

both for the grain and the pasture.

The Falcon was recipient last week
of one Of the best water melons we
have seen this year, grown and sent US
by j. ]. Arrowood Esq. of the fifteenth
district 1t weighed 81 POUNDS and
was of excellent quality. The crop
over this section has been good AID
lots of them have been marketed here, |
tho the quality has been somewha,
lowered by the excessive drowth ana
heat recently. Prices have been the
highest ever seen here.
Several parts of this county were
visited by fairly good rains on last
Sunday. but in this section there were
but a few drops. The thermometer
here Sunday afternoon ran above
LOO degrees, temperature no
reached here before in number of
years. The 100 mark was reached
Saturday afternoon and Sunday after
noon il was passed slightly, register
ng the hottest day in almost score
Of years. The Memphis weather bu-
-ead saws 1t was the hottest since 1901.
Reports Of cotton injury from rust
:ln,inue to come in, but greater in.
urV appears Inow to be from the
irowth which is causing the shedding
# the young bolls and forms in large
lumbers. thus reducing the top crop
while the extreme heat and drowth
lave caused many immature bolIs to
Iuit growing and to open. The injur,
rom rust and the injury from the dry
lot weather will serve to reduce the
rop in this section largely from what
las been recently expected.
TAKEN UP-A black bull
lbout a year. and a half old,
With short horns. Owner can

md expenses. Mrs. Mollie Hen
