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'?*

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.
