It haa been manyT years since this seetion of the' State' has suffered from such a drought as. fias been on tbe country foe the past, few weeks, The cropsj- ar4ashe4fetlt.'welli u .and, streams at a very low, mark, and the ground is so dry that farm -work ia hardly worth while. Especially for this season of the year, the drought is unprecedented. Many farmers de clare that if there is" no relief within a very short time now every crowing crop will be a practical failure. Al- ady cotton, corn and other crops have been injured, so that even if there is a rain immediately the crop crop shortage will be 25 per cent or more. : Fire at Rimer.
