The recent fine rains throughout our
county may be considered as the max
ing Of early corn. The continued wet
weather in the spring resulted in the
drowning OUt Of such as had been plant
ed in the low valleys, which very much
discouraged our farmers. But We are
advised that upon the uplands the crois
are fully a. good if not better than usual.
Upon the whole we are inclined to the
belief that the corn crop Of Carroll

railroad Is finished il viii give US con
nectiOn with several other very impor-
tant roads. At Troy station il connects /
with the Mobile and Ohio road; at Full /
ton station, Kentucky, with the Missis- |
sippi Central, and at Paduch with the |
EliZabethtOWn and Paducah road. The |
latter connection is of more importance |
than any of the others, Tor as Louisville |
is the principal market for our meT- ]
chants, most OF our goods will come |
over that line. In short time the eX-

scOurging Of JOnesbOrO by the cholera.
A correspondent Of the Press and Her
0id Of Saturday, writing from JOnesboro
on the first instant, SAYS: The greatest
CONSERVATION prevails in this commu-
nifty, especially along the line of rail-
road. 1 was at johnson city to-day, and
although not a case of serious sickness is
10 be found in that place, many Of the
families are leaving, and for two
or three miles around Jonesboro they
are moving away. One or two
cases have occurred in the country with
those who left JOnesbOTO, and it is diff
iicult to get any to take them in. You
are exactly right when you give the truth
IN your paper. Nothing you could say
would be an eXaggeTatiOn of the state Of
things in this community. We expect
II TO spread over the country, and be
carried 10 our mountain caves. We are
deeply grateful for the sympathy given
US 10y your people, and we all rejoice at
the presence of DR.. Campbell in Jones'
Dofo. Upto this evening the disease is
uhaoated. There has been three deaths
Io-Gay, and Others bad. To this time,
we have had eighteen deaths in all. ten
whites and eight colored, all grown ex-
eept one, little girl OF ten or twelve
years.
