depredatrns of the miserable little insect which has
been, and is still destroying the plants and if spec

and The want OF Seasons"
"GRANvILLE, ". c., May %.
We have planted scarcely any Tobacco, Of
what we have planted, half has died, and plants
dying in the patch. Three.iourths OF the planters
have moi planted the first plant and one in hive
will be able to plant their crops in this neig hbohood
In good time, if it proves to be seasqnable from this
time"
"GRANvItLE, N. c., May II.
Very lille tobacco has been planted, and there is
general complaint about plants; few persons have
plenty. How it may yet turn out, depends entirely
upon The seasons from until the middle OF June
One thing is certain, the crop will not be planted
~ this year, and The price Of the present crop now
on hand cannot be affected it sometimes happen by
an early prospect tor an overgrown crop"
