WOODWARD y'EWS. Condition of the Crops?Mr. Mobley's Splendid Cotton and Other Achievements of this Progressiva Farmer?Little George Miller Meets a Serious AccidentDeparture of Miss Madden. R. G. M. Woodward, June 13.?Special: The ,;<3ttitIook for the cotton crop in this iro5&Grt*nt and productive section of the caKaty while not exceedingly flattering ?s nevertheless promising, notwiihstaaxiing the fact that the stand* arc gtwrand tliecrop lully three weeks late. With propitious season?, however, these apparent drawbacks wi.'l not materially affect the yield, except , in instances where the stand is less than a half. Such iustances, however, are few. The average being about two-thirds of a stand. The plant, though generally small, is doing well now, and has made rapid growth dur. iog the past week or ten days, except on very sandy soils where the growth . has been greatly letarded by wet : weather. The corn crops generally are very promising indeed, and one . rarely sees such tall and fine lo?king corn at this season of the year. The seasons this far have been exceedingly , favorable for corn. The rains that have fallen in the vicinity of Woodi ward during the past two or three - weeks, have been very moderate, ! while over on Little Iiiver, a few miles west, it is said they have been i unusually heavy; the lands being - terribly washed, and the crops conK'?* /I'JmaaPfl. frPUCPal (ilCCll is oiuti ai/iv v?. ? ? _ _ making strenuous efforts to capture this section and has already made r errible inroads into some fields. Bu fhe farmers, however, are watching j bis manojuvres, and are fighting him j with so much energy and pluck as will , eventually result in the victory. This . f section can^boast of some as fine cotton } I and corn as perhaps any o'.her section " in the county. ; ilr. It L. Mobley has ten or twelve ' acres of cotton that is splendid and we think can scarcely be beat in the county. It is nearly if not altogether 1 knee high, and is fall of forms. This 1 cotton has been well cultivated so lar, ? and is perfectly clean. Mr. Mobley * seems to possess a wonderful expertr ness in keeping grass and all obnoxs ioas weeds eradicated as is well attested by his scrupulously clean crop, ...... n jrardcn and yurd. lie has a beautiful, flower yard, tastefully laid our, which fur beauty, variety aud fragrance of its flower* can scarcely be surpassed in the omit J le showed your correspondent a rue and inique specimen of morning . h ry, called the Brazilian morning glory, having exceedingly large leaves, and the blooms attain the size ofirom ten to twelve inches in diameter. The llori>t of whom Mr. Mobley purchased the >ec<l of this rare flower wrote him th.-it oefore the seed would germinate ir would be necessary to bore a hole entirely through each segd before putting them in the pround. Mr. Mobley not having much faith in thA flAnvi?r',i5 directions, and believing1 that to pierce the seed would destroy the vitality of the seed concluded however to test the accuracy ol' the directions by hoiing one only, and planted a number of them. To his utter chagrin the one that had the hole in it was the only one that germinated and grew. Anyone wishing to grow the Brazilian morning glory it would be best for the.n to profit by Mr. Mobley's experience and follow the directions to the letter. Master George Miller, a ten year old son of Mr. 11. G. Miller, met with quite a serious and paiimu munap which will in al! probability cost him | many a weary day in bed. While he i was engaged in milking a cow a few i days s-incc '.lie calf came up and want-1 ed to a^ist in the operation, to this' i George flj -cicd and tried to persuade the calf to go aw ar. Ilis caltVhip b.lieving that he had as good a 1 ight 10 milk as George, emphatically i e fused to comply, and still insisted on at least a share of the milk. George bein^ of j an adverse opinion endeavored to en- j force obcdience by proceeding to casti- f gate his calfship, and thus bring h::n j to term*. The ill treatment of this : young bovine seems to have greatly j excited the wr.itn 01 ns maieruui 1;^- > rent, and she at once resented it quite j forcibly with a kick, planted on : George's r'g'.it log near U:e ankle, j slightly fracturing the bone. (Jeorge is doing very well and ho will doubtless, in the future, heartily sympathise with the Chicngoans, the destruction of whose city some years ago by lire, was attributed to the kick of a cow.
