The Troy Times reports cholera morbui
prevailing in that vicinity to considerable
extent.
The Lynchburg Pioneer Of June 27 re
ports coed deal Of damage to the crops il
Moore county by wind and rain. ..ft
The Alamo Sentinel Of June % says:
The first cotton bloom of the season was
handed us yesterday by Mr.. Lon. Austin.
1t is the first bloom this year we have
heard of in this (Crockett) or any Of the
adjoining counties.
The Lynchburg Pioneer of June 27 says
The harvesting season is now upon us, and
it Is almost impossible for our farmers to
take care OF their wheat, on account of the
continuous heavy rains. The farmers in
this county are very much in the grass, and
unless we can have good deal OF dry
weather very soon, many of the crops will
be hopslessly lost.
- The Lynchburg Pioneer, Of June p,
says; We are informed by Mr.. e. T. Oar
nabY, who resides near the county line in
this county, that the heaviest hail storm
be ever witnessed was on Tuesday last.
He also informed US that the oat, wheat
and corn crop was greatly damaged, being
laid fiat to the ground.
The Troy Times of June ~ says: The
general prospect for crops in Obion county
are gloomy. Corn is backward and in the
weeds; cotton small aud badly damaged BY
the scab; oats promise a fine yield, and
Irish potatoes are tolerable. The honey
harvest is said to be very rich this year.
The grass and clover promise an average
crop.
The Greeneville Union of June 26 says
The wheat crop is promising well for the
amount Of straw. The heads are long and
well filed. A large portion Of the crop has
been cut. The fine rains for the past four
weeks have brought out the oats crop.
There b IS not been better prospect for a
large crop in five years. Tbs gardens are
looking better than at this season in sever
al years.
The Alamo Sentinel states that farmer
in Crockett county allowed his crops TO get
very grassy and turned lot of geese to eat
the grass, but finding that the grass was
getting the best of them, he turned drove
of hogs to try their snouts on it. They sue
ceeded in destroying both the cotton and
grass, and still that farmer is not happy.

the Oldham farm in this county, last week,
in which Kennedy stuck a hoe in Jones
shoulder, causing very bad wound, after
which Jones struck Kennedy with his hoe.
Mr. K. is now lying very low and not likely
to recover. Jones is able TO go about.
The Humbold Journal tells how credi-
tor was beaten: "a short time ago 8 mer-
chant of our town took judgment against q
sable voter living near here upon an accoun
due for goods. In due course IF law an
execution was issued and placed in hands
of an officer with instructions to make
money. 1t was made known TO the officer
that defendant had horse and was a sim
gle man, whereupon he repaired to the
abiding place of the defendant but could
neither fiud him or his horse, he having rode
his horse from home. When he returned
and learned of the officers visit, he, taking
circuitous route, proceeded to Trenton
and procured license from the County
Court Clerk, to marry bis duck, having
gained her consent 10 marry him, and upon
the cond visit the officer found the de-
fendant happy in the knowledge of the fact
that he was the head of family-.he mar
fisge ceremony having been performed only
half hour previous. That is one way OF
bea ing q creditor"
