They make plen- ty of mohey, but spend it in vice and gluttony. Some of the handsomest fortunes in the city of Augusta are said to have been made principally out of negro trade. Wc have heard that negroes purchase, tor example, con densed hiilk to eat like mush. Per haps the remembrance of the Freed man’s Dank has demoralized them. The Report* of their Condition, be Made to . the State Department of Agriculture tor the Month of August. Horeb.—We have had only partial showers in some localities, yet the pro- ; vailing condition is very dry. Cottdn and corn are both very-poor. In our section the ontft'O'k is discouraging: Cdtton got very grassy, and in remtm ing it the crop was very much injured. HoKun.— We had late wet spring: i late frost and hard failis; which put | farmers bhbk in their work. Thcpe is | a good deal of bottom land not yet planted that could ndt be ptepared.folr j want of rain in May and June. The last of June we had very heavy Pains, overflowing land? and washing them badly, causing at least 40 pfer cent, damage to corn. Oakland.—Weather lias beeit favor*- able; but labor totally unreliable. j Oakland.—WcathteP bus befen dry and windy; unfavorable for crops. bmrsoN’s.—No rain for three weeks. Cotton, where it has been well worked, has not suffered so much, but liufortU* ilately but few fltijds liflve been worked: Considerable fulling off in the corn crop.

But only one clerk fvas needed in the post- office in that city to distribute “the great Southern mail,” tiie Northern mail and the Eastern mail as fast as they came in. In 1886 tliere was talk of hiring two assistants to this clerk.

SPRING GOODS, Of w hich we now have a large and well assorted stock. Everything in the way of TTONS, e yields, now. Mount Zion.—Weather lihAVorable. Co.'ton not doing well. No. 15.—Cotton that has been ma nured and w T cll cultivated is in an average condition, hut a considerable percentage lias been injured by gnss. Wet spring delayed planting, causing farmers to concentrate their efforts on getting in the cotton crop, while the bottom lands became hard and covered‘ with vegetation. This'delayed plant ing on these lands until ihe 26th of June. Considerable amount of cdFif was planted after that date on ill pre pared lands. This, with unfavorable weather, will explain the present low status. * • .. Buffalo. -< Hving to the severe drought now upon us, crops will be cut verv short. In some places corn has fired to the ear and cotton is sli'bd- ding. Buffalo.—The falling off of tho' crops is caused by a drought of about two weeks. The very wei weather in the spring made it impossible to work crops well, leaving them ill prepared for a drought. Buffalo.—We have had a very dry spell; no rainffor five weeks.
