the Tappahannock, and the latter soWed 1t
| last fall. 1t was thrashed LIST Wednesday,
and yielded 432 pounds. This is yield OF
seventy pounds and half from each pound

not been worn out with cotton.

harvest is now on hand and the crop vii
be something over an average one for thl
section. The hay crop is rather short ant
will not come up to anything like an aver
age crop, although it may reach that Of las
year. The early Irish potato crop is Abou
made, and it is very good-rather bette
than is common for lower East Tennessee
Corn looks as fine and promising as W
we have ever seen it at this season, and
tie season continues favorable an abundan
crop will be gathered. Cabbage, sweet-pc
tatoes, onions, cow-peas, beans, &c, loo
well and promise fine yields. The indics
tons are that we will have plenty of every
thing when the Fsere and yellow lea
comes"
