From the Independent, 18th l~nstant.l
The farmers are not yet through
threshing. but enough has been done
to show that the crops Of wheat In the
upper portion of the valley are rather
less than average in quantity, though
in quality It Is unequaled. We are
not prepared to give nm estimate Of the
Weld per acre Mt this time, though we
may mention that OH a farm near this
place twenty-five tons Of wheat were
harvested from twenty acres Of land.
The corn crops are good. and will soon
be safe from frost. Potatoes are poor
in quantity and quality, and will
scarcely be sufficient for home con-
sumption. Hay and other farm prod
ucts are plentiful.
Last Wednesday night about ten
o'clock Samuel L. Mngee died sud-
