Editor Advertiser: We are having rather too much rain for ourcrops, yet they are promising. Cotton on the high lands has not suffered materially; low lands will fall off to some extent. The oat crop was tolerably good and housed before the rainy season. Corn is a fixed fact, unless we have a storm or some thing oi tne Kina to mow it aown.

31. Koail. An old woman, named Mrs. Spence, met with a tragic death about half a mile this side of Boiling, on the M. M.

Road, late Sunday afternoon. The train from Mobile for Montgomery was com ing up the load, and the accident hap pened in a curve. Mrs. Spence was trying to get her little grand-child off the track when the engineer discovered her and blew the whistle. Mrs.

Spence had nearly reached the child, and almost as soon as she put her hand on it the train struck her, causing her death immediately. The force of the blow against the woman knocking her down, also threw the child off the track and was the means of saving its life. Tho body of the woman was consid erably bruised and blood flowed from a place on her head. The child was also considerably bruised, but not seriously hurt. The body of the woman was, we understand, taken to Boiling, and the child was placed on the train and brought to Greenville.

At the depot a mattrass was sent for and the child carried to a hotel where it was well taken care of. A physician examined it, but discovered no sign of any bones bro ken. No blame is attached to the engineer or conductor, as tne train was in a curve and as soon as the woman and child were seen the whistle was blown, but the train could not be stopped be fore it struck her. Accidentally Killed. Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock a colored youth, twelve years old, named James Johnson, was run over and killed by his father's wagon, on Alabama street between Union and Bainbridge streets, in this city.

Coroner Blue was called to investigate the case to ascer tain whether the killing was intentional or accidental. He found out by the preliminary investigation held that the deceased had come to the city riding in the front of the wagon which was driven by his father, Frank Johnson. The father was hauling a load of furniture for Charles Gary, colored, who lives near the corner of Union and Alabama streets. AVhen he got near the premises of the latter, while making a sudden turn with the vehicle, his son who was sitting on the side of the wagon eating a piece of watermelon, fell to the ground and before the father could reach him the wagon had passed over his breast and stomath, causing death within a short time. It was a terrible blow to the fattier, who exhibited a complete breaking up of mind and body.

The parties live in Scott's Bend, and thither the remains of the youth was carried for interment. RETAIL DEPARTMENT. Special Offerings FOR Hit, July Ul QUILTS.

Same time last year they received 6,617 bales, shipped 12,532 bales and had stocks Of 68,762. The above totals show that the old interior stocks have decreased during the week 4,520 bales, and are now 32,867 bales less than at the same period last year. The receipts at the same towns have been 4,512 bales less than the same week last year, and since September 1 the receipts at all the towns are 709,248 bales less thau for the same time In 1882-3.

The exports forthe week ending last Friday evening reach a total of 40,747 bales of which 31,180 were to Great Britain, 100 to France and 9,467 to the rest of the continent, while the stocks as made up that evening were 282,540 bales. To its tabular statements of receipts from plantations, the Chronicle appends the following: The above statement shows 1. That the total receipts from plantations, since Septembers 1883, were 4,777,659 bales; iu 1882-3 were 5,968,263 bales; in 1881-82 were 4,629,744 bales. 2. That.although the receipts at the out-ports the past week were 7,578 bales the actual movement from plantations was 1,996 bales the balance going to Increase the stocks at the Interior towns.

last year the receipts from the plantations forthe same week were 5,139 bales and for 1882 they were 753 bales. Iu the table below we give the receipts from plantations in another form, and add to them the net overland movement to July ana also the takings by southern spinners to the same dale, so as to give substantially the amount of cotton now in sight: The Crop, i Notwithstanding the continuous rains, reports of the crop prospect continue to be generally favorable. In the black and low lands in this county the cotton weed presents a fine appearance, but it is not fruiting to a corresponding extent on account of the rains. If clear, warm weather should follow it is feared that considerable shedding would result. During a late trip down tho Montgomery Southern railroad we noticed that the cotton in mauy places was running mostly to weed while there was comparatively little fruit.

This condition of the cotton causes no little discouragement. In other places cotton seemed to be all that could be expected and at present promises a line yield. The corn crops all along this road are simply magnilicent. A poor corn crop was not seen the whole distance with one or two exceptions which were half cultivated by negro tenants. Reports of the condition of the corn crop everywhere are most encouraging, and so far as this important grain is concerned, the present year promises to be one of plenty.

This crop is virtually made, The grass is making foarful head way in many fields owing to the frequent rains and wet condition of the ground, which prevents farmers from working it out. On the Montgomery Southern we noticed that one or two small areas in cotton had been abandoned to the grass. Signs of the cotton worm are reported in some localities in the county; but there is probably no. more than is usual at this stage of the crop. Many expe rienced farmers consider cotton to be in a critical condition, and look to devel opments from now on with no little so licitude.

We are glad to be able to state that the continued rains did not hurt wheat ana oats, cut and in the field, as much as was at one time apprehended. When threshed, both are found to be in a very good condition for preservation.

A fine crop will be made from present indica tions. If the cotton crop should do moderately well, the country will be in good condition in the fall. We record the fact with heartf ull of thanks to the Giver of good gifts. Anything like a total crop failure would have almost irretrievably ruined the people of this country. Troy Enquirer: Pike county has the uest prospect ior a corn crop it has had for ten years at this time of the vear.

and the prospects are very favorable for tne realization ot tne best the prospect indicates. Several farms in this countv now promise twenty bales of cotton and three hundred and fifty bushels of corn to the plow. Why should a man desire a better country? Nearly every farmer has planted an unusual quantity of field peas this summer. More seed of this kind have been sola than ever betore. No caterpillar has been reported in this county; but everything has been auspicious for their propagation.

The general average of crops in this county is about twenty per cent, better than at the corresponding date last year. The rainy weather has damaged cot ton in this county: but auspicious sea sons tor the next two months may assure a good crop. The oat crop of this county has been worth 81.25 per bushel this year, and has saved not less than $100,000 to the farmers. Elba (Coffee Co.) Cor. Troy Enquirer Of late we have passed through four counties in Georgia and ten counties of our State.

We find that the best field of corn we saw was in Coffee countv. Our corn is glorious. Our cotton is some behind. I tell you, Mr. Editor, it is grand to see what corn fields we have on every roati siue.

utir tarmors are in better spirits than they have been in some time. Oats are selling at fifty cents per hundred on our streets. So many we suppose is the cause of their cheapness. Quntcrsville Democrat AVe are having fine rains; making our corn to look well. The oat crop is being harvested and is lino.

Some of our farmers have plowed up their cotton and have planted corn, which wo believe will lie to their advrntage in the future, as there is too little corn raised for consumption. Ifuiitwille Democrat: Rtports from different sections of the county say tho crops are in good condition. Cotton is very backward, but corn is nourishing.
