charlottesville Advocate
1t will be seen by the above, taken from the
Charlottesville Advocate, that we are again taken
to task for publishing communication on the
subject of the Tobacco crop IN Virginia.
Oar contemporary Of the Advocate says he Is
really somewhat vexed to such paragraph
as the above" mot condemned by the Editors
of the Wing. Why should the Editors of the
Wing, or any ether paper, undertake to condemn
the views of a correspondent, who is presumed.
from his position and experience, TO be better COM
petcnt to Judge of the Tobacco crop than those
whose confines are the city limits
1.-THE Advocate will copy QUE article,in Friday S
Wing, on the same subject, 1t will find that we
have most cheerfully published communication,
in which our former correspondents views are dis
cussed. We, ia the same article, state that, from
cOnversng with those in whom We have implicit
confidence, we have reason to believe DIR first
views were erroneous. Can we do more, We
hope our ncghbor of the Advocate will be nm pcred
upon reading the above explanation. We also
hope that the abundant showers. with which we
were blessed in Richmond, ON Friday and Satur.
day. may have visited every Tobacco plant ia Nir-
ginia. Our desire 10 see the Agriculiuralists Of
this State thrive, is only equalled by the know
ledge that IN promoting the interest Of the farmer,
we promote the welfare Of every class.
