The people of the vicinity of Ricff Square have very fine crops The corn crop was damaged by ihe drouth during June and July, and may be cut off one third; but other crops are good enough to make up this loss. We have never seen finer cotton and pea nuts at this season of the year. Tha soil in this section is stiff to medium light or sandy, the safest to make a crop in all seasons. WRh favorable seasons from now the value of the surplus crop shipped from here this year will be greater than ror years. To Our Subscribers.

An Eiglit 3Iontli's School Term, The public spirited citizens of Rich Square have gone down into their pockets and made it pos sible to have an eight months term of public school for all the while children residing in the public school district embracing Rich Square. This they intend to do. The committee appointed some weeks ago to solicit contri butions for the school fund among our citizens have met with great success. It is the intention of the trustees to employ a good teacher, pay him a stated salary, and when the school is crowded to employ a competent assistant. Students from outside of the dis trict will be admitted by paying moderate tuition fees Phis plan has been tried in Rich Square township with great success. Two schools of high grade for white race—Aurora and Oioey academies—have been run on this plan for several terms. Damaged by Ligbtuing.

Sometime after 10 o’clock a colored woman who lived near the stables discovered the fire and made an attempt to :et out some of the mules bui was so great she could not do so. She says that thw fire extended from cue end of the stables lo the other* and others who arrived on the scene soon after say that all the stables fell in at the same time. These cir cumstance confirm the belief that the fire was of incendiary origin.
