Pisgah News Notes.

Pisgah, April 30.-The grain crop
looks promising, especially where
soda was used.
A good deal Of cotton had to be
planted over, the seed having rotted
from too early planting. Corn and
gardens look well. AS whole the
agricultural and fruit crop looks ex-
ceedingly promising.
Cotton chopping will commence in
about ten days. There is an unusual
scarcity of labor and some trouble
will be experienced in getting the
crops properly worked. Big crops are
called for and the labor is not here
to make them.
If cotton should fall down much
the farmers will be in it owing to the
high cost of things. Every economy
is practiced that can possibly be done.
We still have sickness of severe
colds and grippe.
Mesdames Stuart and Wood OF
North Carolina were down to see their
brother. Rev. j. w. Kenny last week
