EDIroR HERALD: As our first letter was
not consigned to the waste basket, where,
perhaps, It should have gone, its publi-
cation induces us to write again,
but we would say that not under the cir
cnmstances which Tim Various wrote
afterthe pub icat on of his 4 production.
WEALTH AND INDUSTRY. - =
For the past few days the weather has
been delightful, aud the "gee-haw" Of the
plow~boy is echoed on every side, and the
hammers of our blacksmith's resound
through the village from early morn till
close Of day; and, in fact, everything seems
moving in the direction Of cropping.
BAD PROSPECT FoR TOBACCO. -.e.-
A few Of our farmers as vet have not
disposed Of the little tobacco they adid
grow. They say they are dkoldiDgffor
higher prices, but we are fearful their
waiting will be in vain. and q great dis
advantage to them, for tobacco seems to
be on the decline. A general scarcity of
seed has prevailed in this section this
season, and no doubt there will not be
more than a t"o-third crop produced.
BUSINESS LIVELY.
Business appears to be brisk in. town,
as all our merchants have just laid. in
their new stock of spring goods We
omitted to say in our other letter, thar
r. j. Daniel & Bro, Of Cromwell, KY,
have recently opened out q large stock of
goods at j. Y. TiIford d Sons old stand
IN North Caneyviiie, and seem to be doing
a lncra i've business. We hope, as they
have cast their lot in our midst that sue
cess may be their reward. f - 81

We have always entertained the opin-

were any Wucyc, Jul a Cdoo OoA4S SNsN@~
our Justice of the Peace few days ago,
which did not sustain such an opinion:
James Byers, jr. was brought up charged
with vagrancy. but on failing to obtain
sufficient proof, the court dismissed him.

may do better.
