WHEAT CRoF IN GIBSON AND Po-
sEY COUNTIES From a gentlemen
who has just travelled extensively
through Gibson and Posey Counties,
we learn that the wheat crop which is
now being harvested, is very fine in
deed, especially in Gibson County,
where it is the best and heaviest that
has been raised for years. IniPosey
County the wheat is not as heavy on
the ground as in Gibson, but still the
crop is a good one, the wheat being
of highly superior quality We
have the most. favorable accounts OF
the wheat crop from all parts of the
Country and we hope we shall be
able to obtain cheap bread next year.
