enjoyment Of good health, and all doing well,
Frank thinks Texas the greatest country in

regret that he ever left it and that he was not
here on the memorable 9Th to assist in its re-

of heaven shone more brightly, valleys whose
flowers bloomed as swcetly, and soil that re-
paid the toll of the husbandman more album
dainty, but, all in all, we don't care about o
better country than this to live and die in.

The Comet.

Several months ago our correspondent at the
National Observatory, Washington, notified
us that comet would make its appearance
about the latter part of July. 1t did ap-

of the heavens first named. 1t may now be
seen any clear night, east of the north star,
but low down on the horizon. AS the ecccn-

Another Good Man Gone.

One of our most esteemed fellow-citizens-
and we will add, best friends-my seriously
disappeared from this place one day last week.
Whittier he has gone, and what has become of
him, not even his more intimate associates
seem to know; but we suppose he will be at
hand again some day not very remote from this
writing. 1t is said that before leaving, he
gathered one of the fairest flowers of the Eas-
tanallee Valley and bore it joyously away.

The Corn CrOp.

After pretty general inquiry, we are satisfied
that not more than half corn crop will be
gathered in McMinn county this fall. A good
shower fell here OH Monday, but no amount
Of rain now would retrieve the damage done
by the protracted dry weather. Accounts
similarly unfavorable come from the adjoining
counties. The opinion is general that there
will be but little, if any, surplus for market,
even with favorable seasons until gathering
time. The root crops will also be short.
