jJt few lines for the perusal OF the
readers OF the HERALD. However, it ia
my misfortune just at this time to be
barren Of news. We are having but very
little to excite us in this quiet corner OF
tie county, as our people are all quiet
peacc-loving citizens. each one loving
order and good society. They all move
on in the even tenor of their way, conse>
quently We have none Of those thrilling
and tragic events TO record, such as muir
ders, theits, robbery, counterfeiting &c. -,
hat render other portions of the county
otorious.
The farming interest in our part of the
county is progressing as favorably as
could be expected. The wheat promises
well Corn planting receiving its due at
tenllon. Tobacco plants abundant, and
large preparations for another large crop
the planter seems determined that the
luxury shall not be expensive
We are now far advanced into spring
yet the return Of warm and genial weather
seems tardy. though all nature has

GLossery is good. We are making
