Interferred with the picking. What
looked at the first of the season
like the largest cotton crop would
be marketed than had been for a
number of years, has been greatly
reduced. The high grade of the
cotton in the sections of rain has
been also reduced.

Upon the couch, there sets a doll;
A ball and bat are in the hall.
And roller-skates are also there.
Our carpets show the marks of wear.
And sometimes show a track of mud—
And now and then I hear a thud
Of someone jumping up and down,

A table-cloth of snowy white
At morn, will spotted be at night.
And every night, 1 hear it said,
“Aw, I don’t wanta go to bed!”
