up this a great deal of moving

very much more home like than t
the other dormitories. I

and otherB interested may see ^
the portrait of Gen. Johnson ^
Hagood which is now at the
home of Col. Joseph Daniel
Pope, 1718 Plain street. This
portrait was ordered to he placed
in the State capitol, wheie it
has a right to be, as Gen. llagnod
was governor of the State after
having served as comptroller
general in a time when the finao- ,
2es ol the Stale needed just such 1
itn intellectual and painstaking ^
man h r that position. Ilia record
is governor was equally as sue3ft

This portrait has been very ^
much admired by those who
lutve been permitted to see it. %

Colored farmers, as well as
le whites, are making good
pops this year, barring the shortLie
in the cotton yield on acDunt

of the colored farmer to
lake a poor corn crop. If he
lanls enough corn, which is
ot usually ihe case, lie does
ot half work it, and the conseuence
is, he has to buy corn
