Still the cry is "hot and drjv Not
even a good shower has fallen here in
tho past two weeks, while the prevail
ing winds and intense heat has dried
out every vestige of moisture which
had fallen previously. Up to the 10th
July our section had not suffered for
rain, but since then the crops have
been cut off at least a third. Many are
saying that this year is a counterpart of
the year 1845. But we need not experi
ence the scarcity of corn which the
people did in that day, for we have
railroads now which can soon bring it
from the overflowing granaries of the
west and northwest to our corn cribs.
But it will take money to do that, and
?money is going to be a scarce article
withthe cotton crop cut short.
