The Crop orIs7I.

The extent and value of the crop OF
1871 can now he pretty correctly esti-
mated.
In the East the potato and hay crop
was cut short fully one half by Ihe
drought early In tho season. In the
west IL Is estimated that the hay crop
will be 20 per cent short, aud That
there will not he more than half crop
of potatoes. Tie scarcity of potato ;
will necessitate an increase in the con
sumption OF bread aud meat. The
corn crop Is probably the only full
crop that has been made. The ST.
Louis Democrat, speaking on tile sub
ject of the corn and wheat crop of
1871 says:
AFTER December, II there Is con
tinued peace in Europe, corn will lie
cheap, but the same cannot be said IF

To Every Soldier who Worthiiy Wore
the Gray.

The first Confederate soldier killed
in the war between the States was
Henry Wyatt, of North Carolina,
who lell al Bethel, aud is buried in
Hollywood cemetery, ut Richmond,
Virginia. A brief inscription on his
tombstone, telling the eventiul his
tory attracts the attention of every
visitor to the cemetery and on Me-
mortal Day no Confederate grave Is
more lavishly decorated than that of
young Wyatt. The dead SON is re-
membered and honored, while the
living father is neglected or firyotten.
John Wyatt, the father of Henry
Wyatt, is now in the Poorho,se in
Pitt county, North Carolina. The
boy, who would have been the prop
of his old age shed his blood for US in
the first battle OF the war, and it rests
with his surviving comrades to save
tho patriot father from farther humil-
iation. a tritiing contribution from
the Confederate soldiers Will make
the-.venerable old man comfortable
for the rest OF his days, and we sim
cerely hope that every Southerner,
who wore the gray with honor, will
send a few pence, for the father of
Henry Wyatt, to Captain w. j. Me-
kerall, OF Marion, South Carolina,
who has kindly volunteered to for
ward all these donations To their des-
tination. Those who prefer so doing
may send their donations TO the editor
of the News, who will cheerfully
take them in charge and hand them
to Capt. Mclierall. Charleston s.

Babies.

.
Welove little ba bies, and love every
body who does love babies. No man
has music In his soul who don't love
babies. Babies were niadetO be low
ed, especially CIR, babies when they
grow up. A man isn't worth much
who haslPta baby, and the same rule
applies to woman. A baby Isl spring
day in winter, and If II is healthy
and good natnred and you're sure it's
yours, 1t is bushel OF sunshine, no
matter how cold the weather. A man
cannot he hopeless case so long nv
he loves babies, one at a time. We
love babies all over, no matter how
dirty they are. Babies were born to
he dirty. We love babies because
they are babies and because their
mothers were loveable and lovely
women. Our love for babies is only
bounded by the number of babies In
the world. We always look for ba
birs, we do, with anxiety and pater-
nal affection; we do, indeed we do.
We always have sorrowlul feeling for
mothers that have no babies and
don't expect any. Women always
look dnwn-heartrd who have no ba-
bieS, aud men who have no babies,
always gamble and drink, and stay
out of nights trying Ia get music in
their souls hut they can't come it,
Babies are babies and nothing can
take their place. Pianos play out,
and good living plays out, aud sweet
tempers play out, nnless therc'sa Ina
by in the house. We've triedit; we
know, and say there's nothing like a
baby. ff
If you love babies good looking
babies, pretty babies, ugly babies, aud
all sorts of babies, attend our Fair on
Thursday, October 10th, and you will
see them.

hundred dollars, according to the al
lowance to the messengers. And all
this, while Grant draws his full sala-

a happy surmise-and one explaining
the efforts put forth by the Adminis-
tration TO carry our State for the Rad
icals when he declared that when
the books Of the Navy, the Postoffice,
the Interior and other Departments
pass into. the hands ofthe Democracy,
such an exhibit OF rottenness will &c
made as will astound the world. He
said the heads Of these Departments
would sooner see Grant emperor to-
day, with the right of succession 10
his son, than to see the evidence of
their guilt pass into the hands of the
Democratic party. Mr.. Beck added
that he expected to hear of big fire
or some other casualty In the depart
ment buildings, II concealment can
be maintained In no other way.

which lie paid into the State treasury
thereby realizing about twenty-five
cents on the dollar Tor his own peck
ct. The Holly Springs Reporter says
the Sheriff of that county, who IL a
candidate for re election on the Rndi-
cal ticket, has collected many thous-
ands of dollars In currency from the
tax payers of the county, and that
he has paid over to the State and
county treasurers less than six humid
red dollars in currency. Instead OF
paying over the money he collected,
he substituted in lieu thereof State
and county warrants and certificates,
which were purc.asable at from six
ty to. ninety-two cents on the dollar.
