PoRT ROYAL TOWNSHIP
CARoLISE COUNTY, Va, July 10, 1874. !
This section, embracing the most beautiful
portion of the Rappabannock Valley on the
north, with the Mattaponi as its southern
boundary, is surpassed by no other section
in the beauty of its scenery, fertility OF its
soil, and in the facility with which its pro-
ducts are made and marketed; and under a
good government it is destined to become
one OF the most populous and prosperous
sections Of the country.
The corn crop, for which this country is SO
famous, having been we'll cultivated during
the late dry spell and revived by the recent
rains, is now very promising indeed. The
wheat crop, which We are now threshing,
has great deal of straw, but makes misera-
BILE Weld, both in, quality and quantity. The
failure is ascribed to the season. JUSTICE.
rive publish no articles commencing can
didates for office or for Congress except such
as are paid for. If we did, our paper would
have nothing else in it.

BUCKINGHAM, July 16, 1874.
The weather has been very dry for some
time past with the exception OF few rains
lately which were very partial. Some say
that not more than fourth OF the usual to-
bacco crop has been planted. Much that has
been planted has persisted in the bill. Our
crop of clover hay was better than usual.
The wheat does not turn out anything like 1t
promised in the spring. The oats very poor
and corn backward and likely to be seriously
Injured by The chinch bug. Our prospect IS
