" Mr. Foitok.?This afternoon is quite warm, but nut so hot as the weather was several days ago. From the loth to the liOth, wo had a very unusual hot spell of weather. It was oppressive on both tn in and beast. However, the heated term was cut oil' by gentle showers on Thursday and Friday afternoons and on Saturday afternoon we had a splendid rain, and I think it was very general. The rain continued to fall after night, i don't know how long, for 1 retired early and was soon lost in sleep and dreams. Tito rain was accompanied by some wind but did 110 serijus dam. age to crops, so far as I have heard from. Crops nre very much revived and arc doing i well. Somo of the farmers 011 Broad Itivcr count on making enough of corn t t do them two years, if nothing happens to it from this oa. The cotton crop on Broad Kivcr and her adjacent hills is also very promising at this 1 time, ami 1 am sorry to hear thai it is not so in other localities of Union. .Mr. J. 11. Mar- i ties, of your town, is visiting in this neighborhood and 1 understand he reports the crops sorry froui Union, C. 11. tt|> this way. Well, I will say to you ail down there on the ridge what II. W. Grady said to tiie North-Western ' folks When he heard of their cri-p failure he invited them down South whero it was always seasonable. If you cant do any better, just move up into the 'dark corner,' and we will try and take care of you until you can make a crop. We would like first-rate to hive a town aud a Ilailroad to enlighten us a little up hero. 1 have heard it said, that a locomotive was the greatest civilizcr in the world. A little civilizing and moralizing would not hurt us. The crops are about 'laid by' and the big meetings will commence this week at Salem Church, conducted by W. \\. Hatch ford, and our brother Methodises are to ' have a protracted meeting at Wilson's Chapel of this toivu, embracing the 1st Sabbath of August, and our brother Mip'-isls yoa'kniw will fall in lino with their series of meetings 8>me*.imo in August, so when they all gel doue with us 1 reckon we will feci like there has been a general eradication of nil our si:r? ami tlint we have started mil on a ni iter moral plane. it is miglry h >.r I for a fellow that farms to keep his morals in the right sort of tune. Our folk have an oi l black lien with about a dozen chickens that hare corrupted my morals some lately, by trespassing on my watermelon patch. 1 ha I a boy to run her ' down yesterday and catch her, 1 then pulled all the feathers out of one of her wings und put her in a coop. I thought 1 was done being worried with her, but slio gut out litis morn- ( ing, and when I visited the wuterinciun patch found that she had been there and sampled several melons, 1 looked for tier hut could not find her anywhere. 1 toll the housekeeper ' they might say what they pleased. I inien led to shoot that old hen if ! caught Iter in that melon patch again. I think 1 wiii got. h r soon in the tuoruiug. .My girl is 'coiiutin on eating some of thorn melons, and 1 am determined that the old hen shall not cause her , to be disappointed. .My time is up. i think we will have more rairr this afternoon. The ' health of our vicinity is very good, i want you to give your *l>ovil a good shaking* up mill ninkc liiii! quit swapping my words for sonic of his when I write to ,vou. Yours truly, I'. 1?. I...
