CROPs-Corn is almost mature and the
crop is said to be the best we have had for
a number of years, some late fields are still
coming on, and the frequent showers will
speedily bring them to perfection. The
prospect for cotton was never better. 1t
has commenced opening in some fields,
giving promise of the blessings to come.
The continual rains may cause il to grow too
large, but we may safely expect full cot
ton crop in Haywood and Lauderdale coun-
ties this Brownsville Bee, August 81.
CRoPs-Reports from every portion OF
the county represent the crops, both corn
and cotton, to be the most promising ever
known, or at least fer great many years.
We have recently had rather too much rain
for cotton, and continuation ofwet weather
would certainly injure the crop. If we can
have dry warm weather our farmers will
raise a number one crop of cotton.-SOmer-
vilLe Falcon, august 20. .
FIRST COTTON OF THE SEAsoN.-On
Monday last Messrs. Kelly and Henry
brought to the city one hundred pounds of
cotton raised on their place, and disposed
of it at 20 cents per pound. Messrs. Jones
& Collier were the purchasers.-Mu yfreeS-

Mr. Charles Leibert, while riding a race
upon the fair ground near Murfreesboro,
on the 18th inst, was thrown from his
horse, causing a conclusion Of the brain.
His whole right side was paralyzed, and he
continued to suffer until the 2lst, when he
died, never having spoken after being
thrown.
DIsTILLERY BURNED.-The distillery of
Major D. A. Lynn, about ten miles east of
this city, was destroyed by fire on Thurs
day night of last week. Loss about $500.
The fire originated in part Of the build
ing which had net been used for some time
and there is no doubt but that it was the
work Ofan incendiary.-C1arkSUiHe ChrOni-
Gle, dug. q.
TOBACCO AND CORN. - Upon pretty
thorough inquiry, we are convinced that
the tobacco crop is at present very prom
Using. 1t is not az large 4 crop as the
planters originally designed it to be, but it
promises to be of good quality, and will be
worth more if well handled, than if
doubled in amount. The corn is very fine
on an average, and the yield will much
exceed the local wants of the community.

KLLED.--We learn that a negro man
was found dead one night last week near
Stokes store, in Dickson county. He was
supposed to have been killed by some I'M
known parties. We have heard of no
cause alleged for the killing, only that he
was heard to say that he had one wife, who
was black, and that he intended to have
another, who would be white. We give
the above az rumor, and not as fact

Lieut.. Miller of the 25th United States
regulars, paid our town a visit yesterday.
The Lieutenant is on a tonr of inspection
through West Tennessee, for the purpose
of seeing what truth there may be in the
reports of outrages, etc, and how the crops
schools, etc, are ilourishing. He expresses
himself highly pleased at the condition Of
things generally in Upton C0pjngton Re
cord, Aug, 81.
COTTON AND CORN.-We have had a
good deal of rain recently, which is not of
much advantage to cotton, although as yet
no harm has been done. The plant looks
in fine condition and has generally more
blooms and bOlls than usual. We predict
a fine yield this year, and expect our far
mers will make 80 much money this seas on
that they will have it to sell. Corn is
better than ever known in this county be-
fore. We heard a farmer say that he
would make corn enough this year to do
him for two years to come. We are look
ing forward to a good time OOUingtOn Re
