General Rains Break Drouth.
The rainfall, commencing a
bout 4 o’clock Monday morning,

! all indications point to a break
ing of the long drouth. The
kind of a rain enjoyed was the
very best that could have re

With a late frost' Jackson
county may yet produce a fair
crop of cotton, considering the
reduced acreage, poor stands
and small growth in many por

The corn, of which there is
not much, however, is coming

onable yield. A sufficient rain
fall to allow the proper break
ing up of the soil, would proba
bly result in much clover, alfal

farmers who are short of feed
for their stock as the result of
a corn failure and who can hard
