possibly be read with at least a small
degree of interest, by the numerous
readers of the JOURNAL; believing
this to be the case-I will speak first
of the crop prospects.
After diligent inquiry, and from
conversations had with farmers from
different parts of this county. think
that | can safely say that Hopkins
County will yield fair wheat crop.
We were for some time under great
apprehension that the rust, which has
made its appearance in different parts
of the county, would prove almost ia

since been removed, and we feel con-
fident of an average crop. The exor-
bItant price now paid for -four is
enough to excite the interest of all
who dislike the taste Of corn cake"

ago in search of -four, and having
successfully found the article desired
at one of our grocery establishments,
he inquired of the gent in charge the
price. The response was quickly Civ

BILE hesitation, concluded to take one
pound. This may be, cited as an evil
dence of what the article is worth in
this vicinity. N',. ai'--''' -.

planted, and may possibly yet turn out

Some gentleman by the name of
Bennett, from Livingston County, adj
dressed the people of this. place,
yesterday. Ofcourse, he was a candi-
date-and that, too, Dfnnaii ratio
He, like all Others of his |
