Missouri, and should be looked upon as
noble incentive to emulation nearer home.

The cotton crops in some localities in
this county, are being picked over, and we
hear bad reports of their prospects from |
them. Nobody will make anything like a |
fair yield. The corn crop has been seriously |
damaged for want Of rain, and hence will |
fall short. ~

gives the details of an attempted rape near |
Versailles, in Rutherford county, by a ne

gro was arrested, examined before couple |
Of magistrates, and committed to Jail for
trial.

The death of Mr., LAsITER, near thiscity, |
from cholera, seems to have given rise TO |
the rumor that 1--WE had it here" Mr.. LAsI- |
TER had been to Nashville, and was on his |
way home when he was attacked, and was |
not stopping here as reported. The report |

condition.
