patches to the Democrat from) all pors
lions of the country show the condition
of the crop to date to bo as tollows:
Alabama The weather is good, cool
and dry, and picking s progressing rap
idly will be over by the middle 6f
November. The yield is much better
than was anticibated and will come
within ten per cent, ofj last year's crop.
The staple will be mucjh belter. About
three-fourths of the crop has already
been gathered. I j '
Georgia The crop prospects have lm
proved greatly durin
'the past
few
weeks, and it is now I
elieved the
crop
will be as great as laet year's. Two
third of the crop is gathered. Cotton is
being marketed slowly j
Louisiana Baine have fallen .durin?
the past week,, which will . injure' the
cotton considerably in the frelci. The
weather habeen cool and there have
been eVend frosts. The farmers are
backward in preparing thro staple, very
little of Vthich has been marketed. It
i estimated that three-fourths of the
crop haSjbeen gathered, If the present
bad weather continues toe crop will be
greatly .injured.
Tennessee Seventy per cent, of the
crop has been gathered. The yield as
il is how estimated will be 40 per cent,
less than that oflast year. The season
till' continues favorable for picking,
"waich will be finished at a much earlier
date than last year.

this to say of a young gentleman well
know iu our city:
"Edward F. Perry, a native of Beau
fort, highly distinsuiehed himself for
boldness and presence of mind during
the late storm at Hatteras and there
abouts. , Mr. Perry is a signal officer,
and by his promptness in going to the
scene of disaster and establishing a tele
graph ofnee was the mean of rendering
speedy succor to the crews of the wrecked
vessels. Along complimentary message
was sent to the department concerning
him. and be stands a good chance for

The Play Last Night. Those of our
citizens who attended the theatre last
night are indebted to the'Richmondnd
McElreth Company for an evening of
eplendidgentertainment. j
The English comedy, of "Her Diary"
was admirably rendered, and the farce,
the "Fool of the Family," was inimitable.
We like Richmond and McElreth's.
This is their second appearance here, and
they get better. They are coming again
this winter, and we can assure them of
better houses the more they come. They
have established themselves in tlie favor
of the play-going j people of New Berojj.
We earnestly and honestly commend
the Dramatic Company of Richmond and
McElreth wherever they aiay go. They
play in Kinston Monday night, and the
people of that place have a rich treat in
store for temselves.
