Dear Sir: You may remember seeing Alfred and me working last summer, taking notes of the growth of some cotton stalks. It occurs to me that a comparison of those notes : with the eropjt of this season may j furnish a 'oasis for estimating the con dition of the crop this year. The stalks of which I made note would be about equal to cotton that should make a bale, perl taps a litt-e more, to tlie acre. They were planted on the 29th of March. 1st of April, loth of April. 1st of May, 15th of May, <fce. i The following is the condition of these stalas on the 12th of June. 1S87: Of the cotton planted on tlie 29th of March. 20 per cent, was up by Die lotii of April, 20 per cent, more by the Is*, of May, 30 per cent, more by tlie 15th of May and the remaining 30 per ! cent, never came up. The planting of the 1st of April was 35 per cent, of a stand by the 15th of April, 60 per cent, bv the 1st of May. 70 per cent, by the loth of May and tlie other 30 per cent was missing. Of the plant ing of the loth of April, 85 per cent, was up by tlie 1st of May, 65 per cent, by the 15th of May, 85 per cent, by the 2nd of June, leaving only 15 per cent, that did not come up. Of the plant ing of tlie 1st of May every stalk was up by the loth of May. The planting of the 15th of May commenced com ing up on tlie 22nd of May, and was 95 per cent, of a stand on the 28th of May, the other 5 per cent, never con - ing. The cotton stood on the 12th of June as follows: What came up before the 15th of April averaged 15 1-4 inches in height. Tlie higiiest stalk was 28 inches, the lowest 12 1-2inches. There was an average of 14 1-4 forms to the stalk, tlie largest number to a stalk being 22, the fewest 7. But 5 per cent. I of these forms had dropped offi After appearing above the ground tiiere was an average interval of 42 days to tlie first form, this interval was once 89 anti once 48 days. The cotton com ing up between* the 15and 30 of April averaged on the 12 of June 13 inches in height, the highest stalk being 19 1-2, anti the lowest 9 1-2.

Tlie weather fqr the past week or more has been very unfavorable for the growing crops, being cool with north-east winds. Cotton especially is small and looking badly. Farmers are just getting over their crops since tlie terrible rains of a month ago. Some are not over yet, ami crops, in many places, are in a bad fix A trip to Tabernacle Church last Sunday took tne through as poor a prospect for crops as I have seen in many a year. Corn is small, very small, and in many places badly worked. The trip to Tabernacle though was a pleasant excursion. A fine congre gation was in attendance to hear an able sermon from that old veteran, Hiram Leeroy. ’Tis ically pleasant to meet him ami hear him expound tiie truths of tiie Bible in his inimitable style.

Few, if any, medicines have met with such poutinued success and popularity as IjRANDRETii’s Pillh, wliicii, after a trial of over fifty years, are conceded to be the safest and most effectual blood purifier, tonic and alterative ever introducted to the public. That this iatlie result ot merit, and that Brandretii’s Pills performs all that is claime 1 for them, is con clusively proved by tlie fact that tlv»se from the blood, who regard them with the greatest medicine, favor are those who have used them the longest.
