KoiToks Nkws-Chkoniclk:
Having failed to make our ap-
Kearance in the columns of the
[ kws-Chkonici.k last week, the
following will suffice for two
weeks.
While very few things were
killed outright by the cold
weather last week, corn, potatoes
and all garden truck received
such a set-back that it will take
several warm days for tliem to
recover. But from present indi-
cations the warm days are still
some time in the future, as
norther No. J struck here this
evening and promises to be as
severe as its predecessors.
There has been considerable
cotton planted and some is al-
ready up. Rain is being needed,
as the northers have dried the
ground wonderfully.
Your correspondent took a
look at Mr. Fraim's wheat a few
days ago, and while wc know
very little about the growth of
that cereal, it is our opinion that
it is tine, and with good seasons
promises a good yield. We think
the farmers of this county should
watch carefully the results of this
experiment, for if it should prove
successful, wheat would be a
mighty good thing to plant in-
stead of so much cotton.
There was a musical enter-
tainment at the residence of Mr.
Thomas Saturday night, that, so
far as we can learn, was a suc-
cess in every respect.
