The Wheat Crop Of Augusta.

1t is the opinion OF those who can judge
that the yield of wheat in this county.
is one third larger than at any time since
the war; it even exceeds the expectations
of a few weeks ago. Col. Asher W. Har-
man who is shocking his wheat will make
from five to six hundred bushels more than
he had calculated before cutting. Mr..
VIM. Crawford has some magnificent
wheat; on small field Of six acres thele
are $50 shocks Of ''dozens," which will av-
erage at least one bushel, that is 80 bushels
to the acre. Mr.. Crawford thinks a good
deal of the wheat Of his section will yield
35 bushels per acre. DR.. Walkers crop in
the same section will be counted by thou
sands of bushels The corn crop in that
section is also very fine and on Mr.. Jno II.
CraWford's farm the corn oveitops the

church, on Sunday last rendered his resig-
nation to take effect October LIST. This
announcement will be heard with regret
by many more than his congregation, for
he has been very popular with our people

HANS AND FRITZ.

Hans and Frits were two Deutschers who
lived side by side,
Remote from the world, its deceit and its
pride;
With their pretzels and beer the spare mo-
ments were spent,
And the fruits of their labor were peace and
content.
Hans purchased horse of neighbor one
day,
And, lacking a part of the Geld-as they
Made q call upon Fritz to solicit loan,
To help him to pay for his beautiful roam.
Fritz kindly consented the money to lend,
And gave the required amount to his friend !;
Remarking-his own simple language to
quote
"Berhaps it vas bedder We make us note." :"
The note was drawn up in their primitive
way
81, Hans, gets from Fritz feefty tollars to-
day.
When the question arose, the note being
made,
"vich Won holds dot baper until it vas
baid?"
"You geeps dot" says Fritz, "und den you
will know
You owes me dot money" Says Hans ::
"Dot ish so;
Dot makes me remembers I haf dot to bay,
Und prings you der note und der money
some day"
A month had expired when Hans, as agreed,
Paid back the amount, and from debt he
was freed.
Says Fritz, "Now dot settles u.s." Hans re-
plies, "Yaw;
Now who dakes dot baper according by
law2"
~ geeps dot, now, aind't it?" says Fritz {;
eden you see
/ always remempers you bald dot to me-"
Says Hans, ''Dot ish so, it vos now shust so

Dot knows vot to do ven Iporrows again" !"
