Judge Grantham has filled the po-

dignity and ability, and has given
general satisfaction. The unpop-
ularity Of the County Court does
not result from the administration

dren. What his reasons were for TAX
ing this step we cannot tell. There are
many stories afoat We do not care to
repeat them, as no good can now be
accomplished. Up to the time Of his
leaving, Mr.. Brining had many friends,
lie had his faults, but he possessed

@ LARGE YIELp.-We learn that
Mr.. John Cook, last season, raised 400
bushels of wheat from Is acres OF
ground, averaging 81 bushels to the
acre. The wheat was red, and OF the
French White Chaf variety, which is
said to be of an extraordinary good
quality. large and plump grain. We
doubt if this yield was beaten in the
County. Mr. d. w. Hendricks thresh-
ed this wheat, with his celebrated horse
power machine, in one day and quar-
ter. Pretty good work all around, and
hard to beat.
