the Bonds are issued and the interest Sc
cured as proposed, that they Will be ia

Councils and the city of Norfolk that
there seems to be nothing In the way of
the city having q full supply of excellent
water, and superior to that supplied to
most cities of this country. and that the
city has the means to build and possess
the entire control and management of

THE CRoPs.-There are doleful accounts
reaching us from the surrounding country
as to the Corn crops in many places being
entirely cut off, in others not half crop.
This will be very hard on many of the far
mers who depended mostly on their Corn
crops to make ends meet. The raising OF
hogs now being almost matter Of
imposibility, owing to the frequent hog
stealing forages of the idle negroes, the
farmers as general thing depend more on
the sales of their corn crop, and its failure
thereby becomes mere oppressive to them.
What we have written here has reference
more to the districts outside of our truck
ing grounds. The corn planted in the
ground where irish potatoes were raised
generally seems to be more lucky, though
it has suffered considerably from IT, want
OF rain.
The news aboutt sweet potato crop is
not very cheering. That has been badly
cut off also by the drought; Thougi not
SO much Immediately around Norfolk as
further off.

A distinguished Methodist Minister and
prominent Temperance Lecturer Once
remarked that go where he would, from
one end of the country to the other, he
hardly ever failed to find PLANTATION
BITTERs, and while he condemned the
prac tice of using these Bitters too freely,
he could not cOnscientiously say that he
would discard them from the sldeboard,
for lie had himself experienced bene-
fetal results from their use, and that,
from q long and close observation, ne
ately, and as medicine exclusively they
were all that was recommended. At the
same time he warned his hearers not to
pull the cork too often, for they were far
too pleasant to trifle with.
