DAMAGING FROSTS.

PQuite a heavy frost fell last Friday night, but not much damage was done except in some of the lower places in the north part of the county. Saturday night a much more disastrous Jfrost came, and practically all the late corn on the lower ground is killed, but the higher ground is not hurt so badly. ./There was a great deal of late planted corn in this county that needed all this month to mature, and most of this is gone. In the Gifford district, what corn they had is said to be almost totally ruined. It is quite likely that with the floods and wet weather earlier in the season, not more than one-half the corn will be raised in Jasper county this season that was raised last year.
