June 16,?The extremely hot and dry weather has hrought cot? ton to Its normal state. Those who follow the advice of poor "Richard" have very good crops, but those who don't have not much crop .and 1 am sorry to say we have some of this sort. We have a very serious matter \on us, the destruction largely of the corn crop by bill bugs and other insects; whole fo lds are ruined, especially on the hard lands, and it looks as if we will have to go back to the time when corn was not known and peo? ple just planted wheat, rye, oats and barley for a living. Cotton will av? erage no more than 60 per cent of last year, and in many places net that. The closing t ercises of the Stock i n school were v? ry interesting. M the program shows. \ picnic follow? ed the exercises next day and was a very enjoyable affair. This school is taught by Miss Hattte Hussey, wh > has been elected teacher for anotho year, and I am informed has given full satisfaction to" all. This is high praise to a teacher, for so many of them neglect their duties with no ex? cuse at all. Rev. Cole's little baby still hangs to life by a thread. The people here, and elsewhere, have shown great Interest and attention to Mr. Cole's family, which is very highly appre? ciated by them. Dr. Carson is un? tiring in his efforts to gave its life. We have some sickness around, chills and fever in the sand hills is unusual and yet we have it. The Republican National conven? tion has ended just as T expected It would. The chickens are coming home to roost to it a long time after its brutal treatment of the South when the war ended, for which there was no excuse. Now let the Haiti more Convention sink its personality for the good of all and we Will win.
