Hogs here are beginning to show
symptoms of cholera, one or two hav
ing died. Dr. Krigler, who was sum
moned from Tuckerman this morning
to investigate, pronounces the dis
ease cholera, and will at once enter
upon treatment to cure and avert.
Trust he may succeed, as hogs are
scarce and valuable.
Farmers somewhat exercised over
constant decline of the cotton market.
Presume the lateness of frost and ra
pidity of getting staple on market
both tend to raise crop estimate for
the season and render market more
bearish. Picking progressing rapidly
here and tendency is to sell at once.
Anxiety to gather early is creating a
spirit of competition among croppers,
and gradually raising price of picking
thus further reducing proceeds from
crop. This, though, is an experience
that recurs annually, and is seeming
ly inseparable from the cotton indus
try here. Scribbler.
