ohsoivotions from this place.
In making my debut heforo the rend

look leniently on all short comings: and
I premiso to glvo my observations in

Christmas has come and gone, and tho
Nef&Voar lins come, bringing with it
new resolves, now linties, and i may
odd fresh rigor to all of us.
I observe that although the cotton crop
of 1080 waa ...'iry short, a considerable
quantity of it is still In tho field, which
foot proves conclusively to my mind that
a short crop la harder to gatiior than a
good one.
I observe farther that tho farmers in
tliU Wolnlly uro taking hold with re
doubled energy, ami if wo eau keep out
of tho hands of our friend, tito sherill",
I prod lot that with a favorable season
they will bc in u nuich botter condition
