The wheat crop is looking remarkably |
well. But little of it was injured by the |
thaws and freezes, and now as the genialin- |
huences ofspring are being felt it is begin |
ming to look green and fourishing. Undoubt- |
eddy it is the largest crop ever sown in our |
county, andif no evil befals it from this time |
on, it will be the largest crop ever grown. |
We have made diligent inquiry in regard |
to the condition of the wheat, and have |
heard but few complaints. The hard freezes |
have pulvcrized the soil, and the prospect is |
good Tor large crops ofcorn and cotton.

sale need not offer it without it has ample |
water facilities on it; and those having |
geese for sale can report the number he has
without regard to their age, as he has never |
up to the present time, heard of one dying |
