The Athens Post of May 80 says: In the
rich valleys between Athens and the Ten
nessee at Loudon, here and there q good
piece of wheat can be seen, but the average
is a good deal below the prospect this time
last year. The statement in some OF the
papers "that the wheat crop in East Ten
nessee is generally good" is not correct
1t IS generally bad.

coin county, celebrated her one hundred and
fourth birthday few Sundays ago BY walk

The Paris InteIligencer of May 20 says
This section of the State has been afflicted
with continued rains for ten days. Very
little work has been done on the farms
duripe this time. The wheat crop, which
was quite promising ten days since, is now
threatened with great damage. The cotton
crop is threatened with destruction from
weeds and grass. Tobacco planting has
progressed In the meantime, but every
other farm interest is suffering.
The FAYETTEVILLE Express OF May 29 says:
Some two months ago, daughter OF Mr..
Geo. W. Wootan, an old gentleman living
inst over the Lincoln county line, in Mar
shall county, left her f-ther's home with the
intention of going to Mr.. Harrison's,
few miles distant to find temporary en-
plopment. She stopped on way and
spent that night at the residence OF Mr.. 10
Shaw in this county. The next morning
she left, stating that she was going to Mr..
Harrison's, and has not been heard OF
since. Diligent but unavailing search has
been made for her, aud it is feared she has
| fallen victim to foul play.
The Cleveland Banner Of May 30 says;
Asthe season advances the crop prospects
brighten. 1t is now thought that the wheat
| crop viii be something over o half crop OF
| that raised last year. The great fall off in
this crop is owing to it being froze out last
yipter-what is upon the ground looks ViS-
orous and healthy, but the trouble IS 1t TOO
thin. The corn crop, owing to the late
spring, is backward and small for the sea =
on of the year, but it looks well, and is no"
growing very rapidly, and If the season is
| favorable. an abundant crop will be made.
| The oat ond grass crops, although not as
promising as we have seen them in former
years. will make fair yield if no accident
should befall them. Garden "sass," such
as potatoes, cabbage, etc, are doing wei.
The Knoxville Chronicle OF May 20 says;
MIR. Rodgers, of Loudon county, reports
that crops in that county look well, and
thai wheat has been improving consider
abIv of late, and will turn out better tEan
has been expected. Mr.. W. G. PayEe, OF
Washington county, reports that they vii
reap near an average crop of wheat in that
county. Oats will turn out short, owing %
the cold weather. Corn locks well
Messrs. A. w. Nichols and j. M. Rambo,
of Sewer county, reports that there will
| not be more than half a crop OF wheat IL

Mr. A. Keller, of the 11th district o
