No. 38, NORTH Aconn. ; Thewwlc of v re building the grist mill on the old site at Acorn, where it hd stood for many decades, prior; to ; that memorable storm which occurred during the opening days of June (present year) is progressing slowj ly, but none the less surelyi Much of the material taken front the old mill is in excellent state ot preservation , arid is being used in the construction of the newJ All parts" necessary to the reha; bilitation of the complete t whole are being luteUigehtly assembled bv the workmen, .Messrs. ..Pearce and Benton, and the present own ers, Messrs. John C. Blanchard and brother, - Gayly -Blanchard, inform us of the fact, that rithe mill will be in shape to serve the people at an earidate as'its "pre decessor was wont to serve them in the days of yore. J The weather island has been,; for lo, these many- weeks exceedingly Warrrt and dry. The truth is, Mr. Editorrwe are in the midst of a dronght which has al ready affected-, to no.. small ex tent, the variouscropsv indigenous to our southern clime. Especial ly true is the. statement of -your Rocky Hock correspondent when applied to crops of corn, cotton and oeanuts in this vicinity. In- i . . . . . deed, sir, anybfour most: pro . gressive, aitd mjbtv successful farmers have remarked already their discouragement- at present prospects, and labor un der the" impression that tire yield of cotton and "peanuts will -vefy materially fall short of that which was garnered in the fall of 1914. Naturally this state of affairs 0 brook untold hardship to those whom, the shortage of crops affect most seriously.- What with the British orders in council declar ing American -cotton absolute contraband and the shortage of the present crop of ' the fleecy staple throughout a large area of the Carolinas are we to settle our accounts,, dress our wives be comingly, feed- the babies un sparingly in order that they may not suffer in the. after days from lack of the. necessities o( life? And now, Mr. Editor, I will re cord the fact vthat . even grass is effected by the prolonged drought There is but little crab grass in evidence and what is already visible in the fields is withering, nay dying for want of the copious liquid showers that alone can re vive it. At this writing the at riosphere - is so warm and dry that even the hustler suffers from v inertia due to the battle he is compelled to wage in the almost insufferable heat waves, thai beat down upon him' during thesf August days. The average farrrif er is a born fighter, nature jhai formed him in a manner simply heroic has endowed " him with ' qualities which, bespeak :a ;near greatness and : an u nConquerable Spirit of de term inat ioh : . t fight' n and on, regardless of the pittance which he annually re ceives. The fact is, - sir, that the majority of our farmers are lavish in their expenditures during times when money is easy and where there is little or no need '--whatever to store against the days of Want. Despite his shortcomings and rough rxterior, the average his income, to the tvarious rhrt fiWkiLitEvfrii iil- Wbrrmnear-.'Bdenton iben preciatea guests ot Mtssuiancne fhiKhSyttSl i.L lPd, farm,,near Edenton, bent lialfthp)f1def there isln manaoodattdr wo?aani . i 4 ti-Js2i-'ij-f-fV-r-",.!.! i i&irs. iviartna ji-iiivans HDeni iiooo are yruuucts oranu inauve i - , v i turucu iiome riYionaav. .
