proved the crop prospect in this
county. The corn and cotton arc
reported small, but We believe the
general prospect is thought 30 be
good, If we can have seasOnable
weather for the next few weeks
Some of our farmerI report the
prospect unfavoTable in somo per
tions of the county and a few close
observers assert that the general
prospec. for a cotton crop is poor
owing chiefly TO the Indifferent
manner Of planting.

Nashville Banner: A fight occur
red at Woodland mills, on the
Northwestern road, between four
men the other day. Ii so happen
ed that during the melee, the four
conbatants fell together in a heap
upon the railroad track, and were
desperately engaged when Conduc-
tor Latimer's train came thunder
ing into the station. Unmindful Of
the approach of the train, in their
determined encounter, they contin-
ued to fight on. The eDginee see
ing them thus engaged put on his
air brakes, reversed his engine, and
succeeded in stopping within two
feet of them. They were subso-
quently separated, aud each went
his way, though much the worse
for the fray.

out of Nashville by the State, 5000,

The 81, 100000 installment of the
South and North Alabama railroad
loan, indorsed by the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company, which
was recently sold in London, yiel-
ded net, about 50 per cent. curren-
cy, on a par valuation of 81. The
first installment, $4,000, 900, was
sold at 90 per cent. last fall, indica-
ting a decline, which is probably a
more correct reflection Of the al
tered condition of the money mar
kets of the world, than Of subsLan-
tial changes in the affairs OF the
railroad. According to the percen-
tages stated, which are within
small fraction of the exact figures,
the total loan appears to have real
lied s4,52O,000, or an average OF
9OI-2 per cent. This is a 8 per
cent. loan, and was taken by the
Louisville and Nashville company
at the rate of 80 per cent? IN cx-
