Da? vis at Hospital. ________ ? Wlsacky, May 3.?This very unsea? sonable weather for the first of May is very hurtful to the gardens and young crops. Pretty fair stands of corn and cotton are up in some places, and are being plowed, but one-half of our cot? ton is not up, and won't get up until it rains. Oats are heading out very low*,, and are- more in need of rain than any of the other crops. We have been troubled very little with birds. They seem to be scarce, except the English sparrow. They are abundant and I believe are driving the other birds away. I wish we could lind something to drive them away, as they are worse than a nuisance. There have been a number of forest fires arounrd this section. One of our best colored citizens lost his barn, forage, mule and two hogs last Sun? day from a forest fire. He had fought it all tho night before and believing he had it extinguished, went to his house and went to sleep. The fire broke out again and burnt to Iiis barn. It being on the Tdgc of tho wood and destroyed all he had In the lot, a total loss. Mr. Ben Keels had hla house and smoke house with their contents burnt the week before. Mr. John Montgomery's home and smoke house were burnt last Saturday. Mr. Willie McNeil occupied the house. He saved very little of his household goods. No insurance. The dwelling was insured for $1,500, about half its value. Mrs. Pearl Green had to go to the Infirmary for an ooperallon. She is able tn trot urn to her home and is do? ing well. Mrs. J. N. Scott, after a long spell of Illness, in about well again. Mrs. H. W. Scott has been a great sufferer with neuralgia in face and eyes. 8he still suffers some, but is In a measure relieved. Mrs. R. M.
