CROPS.
The wheat crop in this vicinity
has been somewhat retarded in con
sequence of the rains which have
fallen almost daily for more than a
week. Still the work has been
pushed ahead in a manner that we'll
displays the energy and industry of
our agricultural community. The
appearances this morning indicate
better weather, and if it remain dry
for a few days the entire wheat crop
viii be harvested in the very best
condition. The yield here is gen
orally estimated to be two-thirds of
an average crop. with a fair sample.
The acreage is far in excess of any
since the war. The corn crop was
never more promising at this sea
son. If we can just have rain
enough during the next two months
there will be a great abundance of
that cereal here in the fall. Cotton
also looks unusually we'll; it is
growing rapidly. Both crops in
fine state of cultivation.
In our travelings around over the
country we do not remember to
have seen 50 many fine hogs in
many day, most OF which are fat
enough for pretty f,lis PORK now.
Besides these, there IS respectable
number. both of beef cattle and
sheep, that will go on the market
before the end of the year
Now, with all these, and what is
worth still more, the close economy
that has been practIced by nearly
every one for the last two years, it
is certainly unreasonable not to eX
pect better times will very soon be
upon US.
The Lynnville Grange held its
regular meeting yesterday. Mr.. L.
B. Wade gave an excellent lecture at
the Presbyterian Church" on the
subject of ''Granges," in which he
set forth in a manner altogether
worthy of his subject, that vast
amount of good that has already
been and must continue TO be de
rived from the workings of this in
stitution; claiming that its benefits
were not confined to members of
the order alone, but extended to all
classes of people and society. The
audience was much smaller than it
would have been had it been geper-
ally known that the lecture was free
to all. But especially would the
audience have been large had it
been generally known that the
splendid dinner to which the Wor-
thy Master, Mr.. ]. p. Boyd, invited
every one present, would be free
to all. After the dinner was over
we were not permitted to partici-
pate further in the proceedings,
though we felt very much like we
would not want to eat again before
the next regular meeting.
BASE BALL.
The Cornersville club of base
ball players tried the Lynnville Red
Caps in a match game Saturday, but
the Cornersvillians were unable to
get all their regular players together
and played with two or three rather
inexperienced hands, and of course
were defeated, as will be all others
who undertake the Red Caps under
similar circumstances The game
resulted in % for the r. C.'s to 6
for the Cornersville boys.
CHURCH.
Rev. VIM. Alexander, of Corners
vile, according to previous arrange
ments with Mr.. Stoddert, preached
for us at Mr.. SIS Church twice last
Sabbath. Both discourses were
very able and highly interesting to
all who heard them. We are glad
to know that Mr.. A. will be with us
again during Mr.. S. absence.
We noticed in last CITIZEN a call
for our distinguished young friend
Mr.. Taliaferro to become a candi
date for Congress. The call meets
with the appreciation of the commu
