Corn is rying up on red land, or where there /as too much clay turned up in the pring plowing. Oats are a compartive failure, except where they are ear water. Some farmers are talkig of plowing them under for mauring purposes. Gardens are failres so far. It is a very hard matter o get plants to live when they are ransplanted. Our people are a little blue over he changes made by the State Dem_ cratic convention in the rules govrning the primary elections. Some laim it is a direct thrust at Gov. tlease, but so far as my personal nowledge goes it will hinder more f Mr. Smith's friends than Gov. tlease's from voting. When we get sed to going and writing our own ames on the club rolls I guess it .'ill be all right. I think the trouble ith the primary elections lies with he managers, and I don't think that he present rules will hinder men rho are dishonest from landing toether and making fraudulent rejrns, but it is a very hard matter > make rules of any kind that will lake bad men do the right thing alays.

I have seen it this y, before and one year much worse, refer to the year of 1845 and it has per since been called the dry year. did not rain that year from April i September but nobody in this mnty perished for want of food.

We lould not forget that there is a kind rovidence overlooking and overrulig all our destinies and that not a parrow falls to the ground without !is knowledge. This is a great county and there is plenty of food and liment on hand now to supply all emands for quite awhile. I talked ith two wholesale merchants in our >wn yesterday. I asked them if they ere not afraid to put their goods it such a gloomy time and they said o; they were willing to put their Dods on the shelves on the other feliw and where there is confidence lere is something doing. Nothing sensational has happened i our town since my last communiition. Two men from over on Mill ill had a little fisticuff on the treets Saturday.
