The weather here has been very

until yesterday, when we had a fine
rain, lining the small streams with

ries for several months in search of

crops, as thev are all matured, with a
w exceptions.
Farmers are all very busy picking
otton. Corn and cotton are both
very light. I might be safe iti saying
about a half a crop.
