Fine Wheat Prospects.

IL affords ms no little pleasure to re-
cord the fact that the largest wheat
crop has been sown this season, within
the memory of the Oldest inhabitant
We learn. from our Tennessee ex-
changes, that this is a pretty general
thing throughout the State. In our
own county as well as those adjoining,
the crop is very large. Much of it is
already well up and is making root
rapidly, and has a fine healthy APP
pearance.
1t is also gratifying that much the
larger portion of this crop is well put
in. and with favorable season a large
yield may be expected. The good re-
suits in this section can scarcely be es-
timated. That money dearth will
come next spring, after the little
money that the poor cotton crop will
bring is exhausted, is beyond question.
Without something marketable and of
ready sale, the money pressure would
be powerful. The wheat crop can be
marketed in July, and will be the only
source of relief to our people. Ad-
hitting that large crop will be har-
vested in all the wheat growing States,
the price viii not range very low until
ours is disposed Of. We think that a
surplus of at least 100000 bushels will
be raised in this county after leaving a
bountiful home supply. The probabil-
ity is that one dollar per bushel will
be realized in the early part of the
season. This would give us one hun
bred thousand dollars as the income OF
the wheat crop, But suppose it to be
worth only eighty cents. this would
yield $4,000 to our farmes. This
amount of money would give not only
great relief, but such timely relief as
TO save us from general distress, Our
estimate of the entire money value of
all the cotton. tobacco and other
marketable products of Henry county
for the year 1874, does not exceed the
sum of $4,000 This is fully $500
900 short of an average crop of the
county at low prices, and full crop Of
our farm products sent out and mar
keted should exceed a million dollars.
The wisdom of our farmers in this
matter will be fully realized next sum

A Good Story.

Deacon ID. was very much interested
in a revival that was taking place in
the neighborhood, and, as a conse-
quence, was continually urging his
neighbors to come over on the Lord 5
side as he expressed it. He had
frequently importuned an old Deighbor
of his-who was not particularly
noted for his profession of religion.
but was nevertheless highly respected
by all who knew him-to attend one
of their evening meetings. Now, the
piety and honesty of the deacon was a
matter of doubt among his fellow
townsmen, and particularly so with
the old man above mentioned, who,
for convenience, we may call Uncle
Josh.
After repeated calls Uncle Josh
consented to accompany the deacon to
one of the meetings, and accordingly
accompanied him to the school house
one evening, much to the surprise of
all present. In the course of the
evening the deacon arose With peni-
tential cOuntenance to tell his expe-
rience. He was the prince of sinners,
he said, If ne got his deserts he
would be baniShed forever from
Divine favor After making himself
out to be all that is vile in man, ac-
cording to his Interpretation of "he
that humbleth himself shall be ex-
allied" he sat down with the sublime
sense of having done his duty, and
asked Uncle Josh if he wouldn't tell
his experience. With some little re-
luctance, he meekly arose amid the
breathless attention of the assembly.
1t was an unknown occurrence for
Uncle Josh TO speak in meeting. He
said he had listened with great interest
to the remarks of the deacon, and he
could assure the brethren that, from
his long acquaintance with him, he
could fully endorse all the deacon had
said concerning his meanness and
vilenesS, for he certainly was the
meanest man he ever knew. The
wrath OF the deacon was terrific. He
shook his fist under Uncle Josh 5
nose. and exclaimed:
You are a confOunded liar, and I'll
whip you as soon as you get out of the
church.
