WHEAT.-We hear complaints from all
parts of this county respecting the almost
entire failure of the wheat crop. Many Of
the best farmers of the county assert it as
their firm bslief that not more than one
fourth of the wheat will be made that was
anticipated earlier in the reason. In some
instances the crop has been cut, and proves
to be almost worthless The smut has made
its appearance in many of the finest look
ing fields, and threatens, in view of the ex-
cessive rainy weather, to destroy what little
remains. As preventative to the smut we
have heard it remarked by gentlemen Of
known experience, that if the seed wheat is
soaked in a solution Of bluestone previous
to being sown, that it will prove a sure and
perfect safe guard against the smut As an
evidence of this, we heard a planter remark
that he planted fifty acres in wheat one-hali
of which was sown with seed that had been
prepared as referred to above, and that the
other half had been sown without thus pre-
pairing it. The result is, that that portion
prepared with bluestoae is entirely free from
smut while the other is utterly ruined
Surely, preventative 60 easily procured
should be tested by all

some time ago for the purpose of attending
to the matter, will report at the next quar-

concluded to dispose of the same at a valua-

OSE OF DAv1E CRooKEP's BEsT-One Of
our Oldest citizens, distinguished soldier
and one who has represented this wealthy
and intelligent county in the halls of legis-
lation, tells the following practical joke as
perpetrated in this place many years ago by
the illustrious backwoodsman and Tennes-
see pioneer. Over on the west side Of the
square, where now stands the large brick
building occupied by the mercantile firm of
Harrington & Co., there used to stand lit
tie log house, in which was kept a lot of dry
goods, groceries, and many other articles
suited to a trade derived from new and
thinly populated country, among which, as
matter of course, if not necessity, was a
barrel or two Of old fashioned corn whisky
The narrator, at the time, was a promising
clerk in the establishment, and while there,
made the acquaintance Of old Dayie himself
Crockett made the store his headquarters
when he was in town, aud often could be
seen seated on the head Of barrel in front
of the editfce with a crowd around him all
eager to hear related, some of his exciting
and marvellous stories about bears, wolves or
panthers. On one occasion Crockett came
into the store, and as usual, desired to trade
coon skins for whisky The proprietor of
the store struck trade with him, and was
to fill quart bottle with his best corn
for each skin. Crockett threw the coon 8
outer garment upon the counter, and the
tradesman picked it up and dashed it into
the loft over head the usual place for depos-
ting skins and pefries, and then stopped
! down to draw the fire water" While his
back was turned Crockett thrust the ramrod
Of his old rifle through crack in the floor
Of the loft and drew the skin down. The
gentleman handed him the whisky and he
retired to a vacant lot near by, with a party
of friends, and exhausted its contents. In a
few moments he entered the store again and
had The bottle filled, deposited a coon skin,
and in turn drew another from the loft, re-
tired and drank to the health and prosperity
of his thrifty merchant, and repeated the
trick as often during the day as he desired.
In the evening when he and his party were
somewhat merry, he walked into the store
and asked the merchant how many skins he
had bought from him that trip, and was to Id
"seventeenr' Whereupona wager was made
of two gallons and half of Crocketts ia
vorite, that such was not the case. The pro-
prietor mounted the ladder, and, to his utter
establishment found that there was not but
one coon skin in the loft Crockett paid up
! like man for the bottles, but held on to the
! wager.

The following admirable " hit is clipped

by true, and are conveniently, by these gen
tlemen. referred to as indicating the hatred
of loyalty existing in the city.
Allow us to assure you, gentlemen that
this is all mistake It is not your loyalty
that provokes this common exhibition Of
" the cold shoulder" but the immense
amount of meanness you mix with It. If
you should offer a lady rose, upon salvr
richly perfumed with the odor Of spOilt
mackerel she is bound to reject it Asso-
ciate your loyalty with Inanliness, honor, and
generosity and gentlemanly culture, and
