BATTLE AXE.
Duat settled at last and a good
season in the ground. Copious rains
last Friday and since. Turnip sow
ing very prevalent, while many are
making efforts for late beans in the
gardens and late crops of millet for
hay. Prevailing opinion is that rain
is too late to be of material benefit
to the cotton in this immediate vi
cinity, but will largely increase the
yield in adjacent neighborhoods,
r where partial showers have been
more favorable. All glad to have
the rain, at any rate.
