The Carthage VIdette has the following
concerning the wheat harvest in that re-
gion: Farmers in this section have bean
harvesting their wheat this week. The
yield is very fine, but much Of it has been
injured by the recent heavy rains. We re-
greet to learn that the crop in jackson
county has been very materially damaged
by heavy rains and hail.
The Chattanooga Times reports that Mr.
81. Brazier, of the rolling mill, has returned
to that city. He accompanied Gen. Wild
or to Cincinnati to examine new patent
apparatus for pudding by machinery. Both
were well pleased with the machinery, and
it will be introduced in the mill there. By
1t twice as much iron can be made as by
hand, and no skilled puddIers will be
needed. This win be great saving.
The Kingston East TennesseaH saws that
notwithstanding the unusual quantity of
rain that has fallen during the past few
weeks, upon inquiry of number OF our
farmers, we learn that little or no damage
to the wheat crop has been sustained
thereby. The most of our farmers are now
engaged in harvesting. and the weld
bids fair to surpass in quantity and quality
any that has preceded it.
Speaking Of the crops in East Tennessee,
the Holston Journal says that the pros
pect at present, in this section, for an
abundant crop of wheat is quite fattering;
a few more days and harvest will be al
hand.
