Crop Items.

The Athens Post says: Reports from the
wheat crop in the lower Eastanallee Valley
are highly encouraging.
The rust is appearing on the blackberry
briars, and threatens to shorten the crop.
The farmers of Monroe, as everywhere
else, are behind with their work, and are
not hopeful of a large and luxuriant
breadth of corn. Wheat looks well and prom
ising, all along the route between here and
Madisonville. ami from present indications
the yield will be abundant. But, as has
been said good many times before, the

on until it is harvested and in the garner.

A friend from North Carolina tells the
following story of little experience that
befell him one day while walking out in
the woods for an evenings exercise:
Noticing a stout full grown hungry
looking country boy sweating and working
for life digging hole, he accosted him with
the following result:
"Well, my friend, what are you sfter?,,
I'm after a ground hog that's in here"
"Did you think you'll get him? ?"
Stopping his work for an instant, and
looking up with surprise at the inquirer,
he answered him promptly:
"Git him? I'm bound 10 git him, we're
out Of meat"
In view of the exigencies Of the county
election and of the candidates, to work
with, we think the General |" of the
Press and Herald might answer, as the
| country boy did, to the many inquirers
who are anxious to know of him, il he is
going to be able to smoke the CHRONICLE

have grappled with the momentous ques.

hope for sheriff On their ticket. First a
council of six oftheir wise men was called
to discuss the matter. They chose a man,
as we stated yesterday, but not feeling
called upon to make the sacrifice, he re-
spectfully declined. Then meeting was
decided upon for last Monday, but for
some reason no action was taken. Anoth
er meeting was called for yesterday, and
several gentlemen from the country were
invited, and were present. They
met at the Lamar House, but
the prospects were not as serene
az had been hoped for, and it wac

marched out in o body, and several of
them took upon themselves the task OF
decorating the cross upon the mound In
the center OF the cemetery. A wagon
loaded with flowers, stood in readiness,
while many carried boquets or baskets
with flowers in their hands.
At the appointed hour the exercises were

Rural I'oter-Well, Colonel, this niger

school, We're going to close her up next
year. What do you think about it
CoLonel-Oh, this fuss will all he over be-
fore next year.
Rurdt IIoter-Why, amt these Radicals
going to force us to have mixed schools?
CoionCI-Well, you know we want the
people to think so, but you mustn't go so
far as to shut up your schools, for that II
hurt us. We want to carry the county
elections next August, aud If we can keep
up this excitement for a few months, well
bust the Radicals wide open. Brownlow
is out giving the mixed schools the ID.
Maynard and Thornburgh will have to
vote on the thing before long, and II we
can make the CHRONICLE come out, for
mixed schools we'll have the thing all
right.
Rural Toter-Well, well; that's good
idea. The fact is, Colonel, them Radicals
has put out a good ticket for county Of

are trying to get up a big fight in town
here. Can't you get some OF your folk
out your way to write to the Press dnC

there il In the country. and how the peo

IL we can only get the CHRONICLE out, tina

They can't stand out if the CHRONICLE

This school fever has just brok

to defeat the public schools in Knoxville
they fought against them hard. pr

Congress won't pass the mixed school

LENoGR's STATION, TENN, May l., 1874.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Leaving Knox
vile on Thursday came down the old
stage or Kingston road, through Grassy
valley, branching out on either hand from
time to time. Grassy valley is certainly
one of the finest In East Tennessee, and L.
a magnificent scenery with its luxuriant
wheat fields and other crops. The wheat
crop Is certainly very promising at this
time. Near Lenoir's Station Is field of
wheat containing about lao acres which,the
sbest judges think, from the present pros
pect, can not yield less than 25 bushels to
the acre, and perhaps more. 1t Is beau
tiful spectacle, and such as i have never
seen before in this section.
Farmers are exceedingly busy, generally,
planting or replanting corn, but some are
blowing over. Some fields are finished.
Money Is very scarce in the country, but
with n fine harvest there will soon be quite
an improvement.
The new NJ 4 Church, South, at Muddy
Creek, which Is handsome and commo-
dious building, was dedicated on last Sun :
| day Rev. ID. Sullins, of Bristol, after an
! able discourse, performed the dedication
| services.
A debt of about 500 was raised on the
| spot and the building Is now unencum-
bered. Much is due to a few individuals
in the neighborhood for their zeal and

tanning good church and Sunday school
