The wheat crops this year, in this
county, are generally turning out
heavier yields than expected. A
great many of the oldest farmers say
that their wheat is much more extra
ordinary than Va before. The price
is about 81 80 per bushel, but there
is a strong Discrimination to take less

Our planters are busy making pre-
parations for harvesting their timothy
crop, large quantities of which is pro-
duced and shipped South annually
from this point. This seasons crop
promises to be unusually heavy. which
will add much to our farmers income
for the current year.-OUens6oro, Ky,
Monitor.
Our farmers have had a splendid
time for harvesting their wheat. 1t
has all been gathered. and the yield
is very large. A good deal of it has
been "thrashed OUT and brought II

The fruit and berry crop of the
present year will exceed any yield
known to the oldest settler. The
yield of peaches will be astonishing;
and unless a vast canning establish
ment be put into operation. or a large
portion of the fruit used in the man
ufacture of wine and brandy. thous-
ands and tens of thousands of bush
els will rot under the trees. The ap-
pie and berry crops are scarcely less
abundant. We have, in truth, in

New ORLEANS, July 22.-The cot

to continued rains. The worm has

wet weather has prevented the grass
from ceing cleaned out. Reports
relative 10 the corn crop in the
upland districts are more favorable,
but all agree that the prospect for

cessation of the rains. The prospects
for the grain crop are the best ever

AUGUSTA, GA, July 22.-The
