The Chatham (Pittsylvania) Tribune saws
of the oat crop of that county,:
I'VE regret to learn that the crop is very
unpromising in several sections of our
county. The rust is doing great damage,
and we have heard several of our best
farmers predict that the crop will be cut
short at least one half. The clover CROP
was not by any means good, and we fear
provender will be scarce during the next
winter.u
The new flour, rated extra superfne, is
OF a quality not to be surpassed anywhere
at this early period of the season. We
noted lot yesterday Of City Mills extra at
Davis, Roper & Co.'s which could not be
excelled. These enterpiising gentlemen
are now fairly in the wheat market and for
several days have been purchasing at the
rate Of 1000 to 200 bushels per day, and
yesterday 1900. They pay the highest
prices the market will justify, and are pre-
pared to take their full share of all that
comes to hand. Peesbuay Ladea.
We were gratified to see Yesterday SO
many farmers both from Virginia and North
Carolina present at our Tobacco Exchange.
Tobacco is beginning to look rp A little. We

Poltce Court Repo't.-Not wishing to
drag before the public the names of persons
oil respectabllity, who sometimes, from
various causes, are brought for trial before
the Police Justice, and our wishes in this
respect not having given satisfaction to per-
sons whose arrest and trial are noted in our
paper, we have concluded for the present
to suspend the publication of the Police
Court reports, except where cases of i'm
Portance are brought up for trial. We
hope this determination will be satisfactory
to all parties, and that no further cause of
complaint will be given. Should we con-
clude in the future to publish the proceed
lngs OF this court, it will be with the dis
tmct understanding that our reports shall
be full and complete, and that all persons
tried in this court will be treated alike.

AN organization known as the "Young
Republicans" and composed of the young
men OF the party, has been formed in New
York State for the purpose of curing the
disaffection and clearing up the feuds which
have so long destroyed the influence and
defeated the party in that State. These
young men come to the front at an oppor-
tune moment. The old leaders have ridden
them long enough, and there is need of an
infusion of a vigorous and healthy manhood.
