To the Editor of the Dispatch: Some time ago the cry was raiD, raiD, raiD, too wet to do any farm work. The cry for the past few weeks dry, dry, dry?but the record j was broken yesterday in the afternoon. We had a splendid rain and everything in the way of crops look fine. The gardens are injured some but the field crops are all right and growing eff finely. Cotton most all hoed to a stand and a good deal of it * _ _ 1 J plowed over second nine, .an oiu darkey said to me the other day, Cap which is de worse for de farmers, a wet drought or a dry drought ? Well, I don't know, both pretty bad. Well I tell you what I thinks 'bout it?It is the one you got. I had the pleasure of walking over the plantation of Mr. A. S. Nuna* maker the other day and I must say his place is in fine' condition. He has a large crop of corn and cotton, pindars, &c., planted, all looking fine and his hay meadows all mowed over, willows all cut down on the river bank and he is making every prospect for a large hay crop. His son, Mr. E. J. Nunamaker, is in charge and is all energy and perseverance and will succeed. To the young ladies he is worth looking after and I believe might be caught if the proper bait is used. The tobacco crop is about from knee to thigh high and is blooming. One of our widowers, *R. B. B., hae * been laid up for a day or two, but is out again and looking red, and rosy and spoke of taking a trip to the city with his best girl and, well, ice cream, of course. The Fork is certainly blessed in the way of handsome young ladies and fine looking young men. Young ladies all domestic and help their mamma's., while the young men push the farming interest. In a few weeks if no ill luck comes along the Fork will show up with our neighbors in the way of crops. Mr. Fritz Stork with Miss Annie I Lee Spence made a flying visit to the Fork Sunday afternoon. Mr. Stork I looked pleasant and happy and Miss Annie Lee well, words are inadequate to express just how she looked, just as pretty as a blooming rose.

Your humble servant happened in during their visit and was made to feel young again. They are handsome and pleasant young ladies and know exactly how to treat we old widowers. As for Mrs. Younginer, she is known for her kindness and courtesy and always makes a person feel when at her house, that life has a hrinrht. ciria We are pleased to hear, that Mrs. Wingard, who has been quite sick, is up, and her maDy friends were pieaeed to &ee her at church last Sunday. An old darkey asked another the other day what he thought about! guano, if it paid or noil "Weli, I ' tell you, an"11's had right smart 'spe- j rience. If it am wet it will fertilize and if it am dry it will phosphate an' you won't make nothing." More anon. H. Lsosville &?ies.
