Full Text
Yesterday being Sheriff's sale day brought a number of planters from all parts of the district, to town and gave us an excellent opportunity of enquiring into the prospects of the present crop, which we are happy to state are quite favorable, particularly for grain; a number of our informants even said that their corn was better than they had ever seen it, and promised a most abundant yield; we hope this will have the effect of doing away with the panic created by the drought of a month since. Cotton has been somewhat injured by the recent heavy showers, which have caused it to shed the young forms and in some sections we hear complaints of the rust. The Rain still continues.
