From the Liberty Herald.
A committee from the Grange on
Tuesday last witnessed the gathering and
Lafayette Thompson, Esq. The yield
was 661 bushels. Those who for years

selves, that corn cannot be profitably
grown in this part of Mississippi, will be

labor and money, corn growing can be
made as profitable here as in any of the
