Communicated.
Col. Eamen and tIae Estates
man..

Z, tie Editors cfthe hsdsnendent:
/ find in the last issue of the Stotes-
man that the editor does Col. Lamon
full justice by explaining that his lam
guage was used in jest and not with
any idea or intention Of injuring the
Colonel, in this his native county,
and among the people, democratic
and republican, with whom he
has associated all his life.
This being true, it renders it neces-
sary for me to say that and many
others misconstrued his remarks,
hence my communication. Had Col.
Lannon's friends in our ranks I'M
derstood that it was simply a jest mo
communication would have appeared.
Col. Lamon has too large heart and
is animated with too much love for
humanity in general, and is too gen.
erous and kind to the people of Ber-
kelley county, to be injured by even
an unintentional misunderstanding.
Very truly
A DEMOCRAT.

CROP REPORTS FOR OCTO-
Der.

The digest of crop returns for De-
tober, as prepared at the Department
of Agriculture, indicates a reduc-
ton in the yield of the wheat crop of
nearly one sixth, while the quality is
somewhat superior More accurate
statistics may possibly be given after
the results Of threshing are more full
ly known. Every section of the
Union indicates a reduced product
except the Middle States, which in
creased about 2 per cent. The New
England States fell off per cent,
South Atlantic States 2per cent. the
Gulf States q per cent, the South
ern inland States per cent, the
States north of the Ohio river II per
cent, the States west of the Missis-
sippi river q per cent, the Pacific
States nearly Q per cent. These fig
ures point to yield of about 245,-
600, 900 bushels, This, however will
be the subject of further examina-
ton and inquiry in the November re-
turns. The October returns, as a
general thing, indicate an advance in
the wheat yield of those States in
which the yield of 1s75had fallen be-
low that of 1874 and vice versa but
in some States, especially in the
Northwest, there is falling off from
even the reduced yields of 1875.

INDIAN Su MINER.

This halcyon period of our autumn,
viii always in some way be associat-
ed with the Indian. 1t is red and
yellow and dusky like him. The
smoke of his camp fire seems again
ia the air. The memory of him per-
vades the woods. His plumes and
moccasins and blanket of skins form
just the costume the season demands.
1T was doubtless his chosen period.
The gods smiled upon him then
If ever. The time of the
chase, the season of the buck and the
doe, and of the ripening of all forest
fruits; the time when all men are in
cipient hunters, when the first frosts
have given pungency to the air when
to be abroad ON the hills or in the
woods is delight that both old and
young feel-if the red aborigine ever
had his summer of fullness and con-
tentment, it must have been at this
season, and it fifty bears his name.
