PHIL IPS It is very dry in this section. The farers have a fine stand of corn, but there is little cotton up. One farmer in this section, though, who has a fine stand of cotton is Mr. J. W. Lominick, Jr. His hands have begun hoeing. The grain crop is cut by the draught. The wheat looks to have a right good head, but don’t know just how it will fill out. A good rain now would mature it better. There are some wells now falling in this oomimundty and there will be more if the draught continues, but the summer rains will not do them much good. Miss Martira Root* from Greensboro. N. C. spent the weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Koon. One day I visited the home of Mr. O. H.
