Several times during the last
four years we have taken occa-
sion to call attention to the new
process of cotton planting so
successfully pursued by Mr. J. J.
Crump, of this county. The re-
sult of this process was 1,310
pounds of ginned cotton to the
acre, in 1877; 1,000 pounds in
1878, and this season the pros-
pects are good for the heaviest
yield he has ever had.
For the benefit of our readers
and exchanges we will again
give Mr. Crumps' formula: He
prepares his land in December
by digging holes three feet from
each other, each 18 inches
square, and 18 inches deep;
these he fills with manure to
within four inches of the top,
aid the remainder of the way
with top soil. At the usual sea-
son he plants with a view to hav-
g 3 stalks to a hill, and piles
jjr from the'"bottoms of
"A^eir tops
of, with
e grass
h hand
a plow
The prepafatfon is made in
December in order to subdue
the firely qualities of the fertil-
izer, and the holes when once
prepared will make at least three
crops without changing their
contents-—the 2nd crop general
ly being the best, and the first
and third about the same.
This plan has gotten beyond
the sphere of experiment and
there is no longer necessity for
a man to scrape over a dozen
acres, when he can obtain more
cotton and better cotton by
cultivating two or three by Mr
Crump's process. ^

White muslin hats with fichus
to match are shown, to be worn
with any gay short dress as a
pretty costume for garden par-
ies and summer fetes. The
round hat is of the sheerest or-
jandy muslin, made with a low
>road crown and wide brim
drawn on fine wires that are
jlaced about an inch apart.
The brim may be turned up on
one side or indented in front a
la Marie Stuart, or else worn
low on the forehead to shide
thflteyes. The simple trimming
is a ruche of the muslin edged
with Breton lice passed around
the crow*,? or else a puff of the
sheer lawn, through which a
pale blue rose or rose ribbon is
drawn. A cluster of red and
yellow cherries may be placed
under the left side of the brim,
where it is turned up, or a bunch
of field flowers is stuck in the
ruche. Sometimes the hat is
drawn down at each side in cab-
riolet shape, and held there by
ribbon, which forms a bow on
top and, passing down the sides
forms strings to tie under the
chin. The fichu should match
the hat in the muslin, lace and
flowers used, though there is a
reference for the soft pliable
ndia muslins of these mantles.
The back of the fichu reache
to waist line, and the upper part
is folded so far over it that it is
almost double. Each end is
trimmed with Breton lace either
gathered or pleated, and the
front ends are folded together
to make them slender, and fas-
tened at the waist line by a clus-
ter of flowers or of iruit like
that on the hat. These cost
from $5 to $15. Some ladies
order a parasol to match of
white muslin over blue or pink
silk, made with the narrow gores
of the
f,
ereof, in the city of Brenham, at
which time all persons interested in said es-
tate may appear and contest said applica-
tion, if they see proper.
Herein, fail not, under penalty of the law,
and of this writ make due return. Issued
the 20th day of August, 1879.
