LYNNVILLE.

Mr.. EDITOR II. L. n. being absent
tor the week, we, a this request, become
a sub IN the LYnnville correspondence
/ we DO not expect to interest your read
ers as he would do, but offer no Other
/ apology for attempting to fill his place
than desire to see LynnVille repre-
scented in every issue of the CITIZEN.
/ Inc excitement and general stir OF
the examination last week has been
followed by an unusual quiet, inter
rupted only by the busy hum of the
thresher and the dull roar of the train
Everybody is looking forward with
eager cupidity to the returns from the
wheat crop, fOndly dreaming of 'green-
backs" and "sugar in de coffee, O ~
which delicacy many have not for some
time been able to indulge. Many of our
Wlsest farmers are wishing to get it into
the market at once, while others will
hold while for a better price We
doubt if the rise in price, even if it
comes, will compensate the shrinkaGe
IN the wheat and interest on the money
If sold at present offerings. We under
stand that Mr.. Tom Lindsay bought ii f.
teen hundred bushels yesterday. Far
mer, Smith 81 Co., have bought several
good big lots. These constitute the
principal buyers here. They are pay
ing ninety cents for the best samples
Our stirring young friend, Bill Smith,
hopes to sell three or four hundred
bushels. Mr.. James P. Fry, of Big
creek, is threshing for him. lie has an
excellent thresher and cleaner COM
bined, which our ingenious old "fan-
mill maker" j. NJ. Farmer, has i'm
proved for him. 1t is doing excellent
work now, much better than last season.
Mr.. Polk Black burn has just pur-
chased a thresher of an improved patent,
to which he has attached Bugg & Cor
don's steam engine, formerly used for
boring wells. 1t is said to run the ma
chine with much more steadiness and
regularity than horsepower, and
knocks out the wheat at the rate of one
bushel per minute.
The corn and cotton crops generally
present very flattering prospects, though
just in our immediate neighbOrhoOd we
have had continued dry weather for
about siX-weeks. We have heard of,
and even seen rain in abundance ali
around us, but from some inscrutible
of Providence, we have re-
ceived but very little. Deacon Jones
supposes it ga blessing in disguise'' that
we get none, for "whom the Lord loveth
he chasteneth.'
Mr.. John E. Campbell and lady are at
present on a visit to Alabama. John
Boyd, jr., and Harvey Walker, are try
ing the virtue of the springs in Law
renee, to restore exhausted strength.
Misses Alice Higdon and Clara Boden-
hamer have doubtless left aching Voids
in the hearts of more than one of our
beaux by flying off to Weekly's creek
for week or two. Mrs. Sallie Carter,
daughter of Mr.. Jas. Erwin, who has
been visiting friends and relatives here,
tor few weeks, departed for her home
in West Tennessee, this morning. We
very much regret that Sanie could not
stay with Us longer, and hope that ere
long she will gladden. our hearts with
another visit TO the land of her child
hood. Miss B. c., one of Pulaski's fair
est and lOveliest daughters, has been
to the attractiveness of our
little ''ville." She was visiting her sis
ter, Mrs. Lindsay, and we hoped, had
come to spend the summer with us.
We were congratulating ourselves on
the prospect of pleasant times, that
might be in store for us, when she.
nymph like, flew suddenly away. We
have not heard of her since, but hope
she'll come back soon.
We are glad to announce that the con-
dition of Mr.. Dolly Jones, who was so
stabbed at Ash Gap on
Sunday last, is much more hopeful than
was at first anticipated. We are in
formed that his physician, DIR. Jones, of
thinks he will recover.
