The CRoPs.-We had he pleasure OF
meeting in our office yesterday Sheriff
Moore of Granville county, who is looking
hearty and feeling ready for campaign.
He reports everything quiet in his coun-

The wheat is harvested and looks WE'LL
Tobacco looks we'll, but the worms have
appeared in unusual numbers for so early
in the season.
Pitt county correspondent informs us
that the wheat crop is the best for many
years. The oat crop is good. The corn
crop promises better than for the last
twenty years. Cotton is improving rapidly.
and, with favorable weather for two weeks,
it will be on an average with the past ten
years. This county is in the best of the
great cotton region of the State, and has
ABUNDANT beds Of mari and muck to i'm
prove the naturally good lands. Our cor
respondent thinks capital, energy, relia-
bic labor and railroad from Greenyille to
Wilson would soon make this county equal
to any county in the State.

We ever saw has been on exhibition at the
POstoffice, at this place, during the past
week. 1t is a pig with human face It's
shape and structure are natural up to the
ears, but from the ears to the top Of the
head and down to the chin the shape and
features as those of the human, excepting
that it is covered with hair like the rest of
the body and has no nostr:l, being abliged
to breathe through the mouth. The pig is
about two weeks old.
