the frost, point to an unpreccdentec
yield.
i Mr.. II. X. Wells, of Wildwood, an(
n gentlcmamconnectcd with one of the
largest spoke factories in the country
are talking of starting Il spoke factory
at the above named village. This
would certainly be great advantage
to the county, as it would put into
circulation at the very least twenty
thousand dollars per mnum among the
farmers and others of old Grayson.
The majority of the farmers through
ont Graysou appear to have very little
confidence in the mari discoveries of
Professor Shaler. All agree that it
was a well baitcd hook thrown to catch

several crops of tobacco last week at

Since the L. p. & s. w. railroad
went into operation, the people of this
county are making rapid strides toward
civilization, having since then built all
the buildings in the county worthy of
name; cleared off one-half of the soil
that is now in cultivation; neglected

strange that comes among them as a
criminal fleeing from justice, and treat
him accordingly; and to cap it all
growl more than any other county in
the state at its benefactor (the railroad)
for making them pay little dear for
their whistle.
Wcare credibly informed that Messrs.
Robbins & Haynes, of Litchfeld, have
more suits pending next Circuit court
than all the lawyers of Litchfeld taken
together. Haynes and Robbins are
both talented lawyers, and we wish
them all the success imaginable. But
we also wish Mr.. HAYNES would hurry
up and kill that interminable fraud,

Mr.. Elias Stone, a respected citizen
IF unquestionable veracity residing
near Caneyville, affirms that his stock
IF hens number only an even half
lozen, yet from this number he gathers
light perfect eggs daily. How is that
or Grayson's hens?
Miss Jennie Williams, residing near
Mayo Park, met with a severe accident
while attempting to step over a fence
