CARROLL COUNTY ITEMS.

The Huntingdon Times of last week
contains the following news items:

~, Akin , Jordar'- Ii, Curtis ard
Brooks tie.

few miles west Of this place, mas
struck by lighting on Monday night
last, completely diminishing it, and
killing a valuable mare.
Mr. Green McCaslin, of Carroll
county, accidentally shot himself
through the thigh few days ago,
while carelessly handling a pistol,
causing a serious wound.
Curtis was undoubtedly defeated
by the votes of Democrats, for which
we have no doubt those who cast them
are already sorry enough and for
which we believe they will hereafter
make amends.
j. d. Order, a worthy citizen of
this county, was arrested on last Tues
day by Deputy L. s. Marsh Il Talbot,
on an indictment found by U. S.
Grand jury, charged with violating
the provisions f the enforcement act.
He gave bond for his appearance to
answer the charge.
Sheriff Williams declines to give the
casting vote in the election for Repre-
sentative from this county, and has
forwarded his &c tificate Of tie vote
to the Secretary Of State. If instruct
ed to d. so by that official he will decide
it, but net otherwise. Three cheers
for Williams. 1t is generally thought
that the Governor will order new
election.

FROM THE COUNTRY.

Most of our farmers finished gath
ering in their crops several weeks ago.
| believe all are through now. Our
cotton crop is just about one-third Of
usual yield, corn not much better,
perhaps half a crop. Most of the
farmers in this neighborhood cut and
cured all the stalks of corn that failed
to bear ears, which will greatly assist
in wintering stock, in fact it is about
all the roughness we have. We have
been in the habit of wintering our
cattle mostly on cotton seed, but will
have none to spare for that purpose
this winter. All of them will lie
needed for planting. Feed for stock
will be scarcer here this winter than
WAS ever known before. | fear a
large number will be put on short ra-
tons and be in poor plight for blowing
next spring. A large crop of turnips
were planted this summer. Though
many failed to get good stands, there
enough to be a great help through
the hard times: More wheat has
been sown this fall than ever known
before. Some of our farmers who
have not been raising any wheat
at all since the war have planted
largely this fall, and if we can squeeze
through till next harvest, the prospect
is we will have plenty of bread and
pies minus any meat. A good many
are breaking their stubble land and
/ notice are blowing deeper and bet
ter than heretofore. / saw man to-
day with three mules hitched to one
pillow, sight / never saw before in this
country. | think there is a spirit of
improvement manifesting itself among
the farmers of this community They
will soon get out of the old ruts.
While it is true that, owing to the
failure of crops times are going to he
not only hard, but very hard, that a
great many families will be compelled
to put up with very scanty allowance
for another year, l believe it is also
true that, when it is all over and We
are again blessed with plenty, the
drought of 1874 will bepronounceda
blessing instead of a calamity, because
it will teach us the-importaice of lay
ing up for such times and will force US
to learn economy in many ways. Eve
~ year since the war we have been
making good crops and spending all
We made in needless extravagancies,
not thinking to lay up for hard times,
and so have been caught mapping.
Most persons Will not learn except by
experience and think this years ex-
perience will teach us a lesson We
won't forget soon. We will study
economy and quit spending all of our
hard earnings for red-top boots and
other pretty things
There is one thing making property
holders little uneasy just now. Mr.
Witt has notified us to come up and
see about our tax, and though We
were reminded to be ready, as he
would come on such a day as we
thought not some of us amt quite
ready yet. o, for a return OF the
good old ante-bellum days, when our
people didn't dread tax day so! ).
