The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina Section, for the week ending Saturday, May 2d, 1896, indi- cate very favorable conditions, both for work and growth of crops. Cool nights the first. few days of the week brought the mean temperature slightly below the normal, but the last five days were warm, bringing the average for the week about tour degrees per day above the normal. Fine seasons occurred near- ly everywhere on May Ist and 2d, the largest amounts exceeding an inch along the central portion of the State. The general prospects are now very favora- ble indeed, and farmers are working in good spirits. EASTERN District. Reports are nearly all quite favorable for this District ; very few places did not share in the beneficial showers of May [st and 2d, and the conditions have been fine, both for farm work and for grow- ing crops. Cotton-planting continues, but approaching completion ; much has come up with promising stand and looks vigorous; some being chopped. Corn stand tair, with fine green color and growing rapidly ; but little was prevent- ed from coming up by previous drought ; some little damage by cut-worms re- ported. Setting out tcbacco plants pro- gressing, and planting pea-nuts will be general during next two weeks. Gar- der.s, wheat and oats have improved ; Irish potatoes look fresh and promis- ing; sweet potatoes have. sprouted nicely and a few have been set out. Large shipments of berries and peas to the North. CenzRAL District. Quite heavy rains occurred in a few central counties, washing lands to sume extent ; in others the weather continues too dry. Planting late corn‘is going on vigorously ; corn is quite large for the season. Cotton has not come up quite as well as hoped for, but the good sea- sons at the end of the week will improve the stand. Wheat looks well but is heading low ; spring oats bave improved; rye has rusted some. Sweet potatoes have sprouted well. Transplanting to- bacco vommenced to be pushed in a few counties the last of the week, which in- dicates advanced growth of plants. Many reports still received of damage ay potato-bugs, bud and cut-worms in corn and insects on tobacco, but the rainy weather will diminish these pests.

Fruit in the hair, how- ever, under any guise of enamel an/ metal, is not to be commended. Its incongruity is obvious. We have ac- cepted it on our bonnets, where its use ‘is less distasteful than the plumage of murdered birds, but in the coiffure the association is not acceptable. French women regard their hair ornamenis -with great attention and take as much care to suitably complete the coiffur« |: toilet as that.of the corsage. Steel, je’. gilt and silver ornaments are especially suited to dark hair. Fair-haired womeu could wear amber and clear tortoise shell. For.evening wear, jeweled orna- ments are properly much worn.

Republic, | : Smali Fruit Salad, | The salad is made by stripping the fruit from the stalks and piling it high on a dish and sprinkling it over with powdered sugar. This may be done with strawberries, raspberries, currants or any small fruits mixed. After the’ sugar is well dissolved, cover over all six large tablespoons of wine or brandy, or three tablespoons of. liquor, and when the flavor is all that is desired, 1 little powdered cinnamon should be added. In keeping to this salad, th fruit should be lightly stirred, so that wine and sugar should be equally dis- tributed. Any of these fruits can be made into a palatable dish separately or together, as taste Sieve Rosier Globe. Appullingty Near.
