ing in their crops, which proved to
be light job, so they say. The
general crop will average with that
of any other community in quality
and quantity, all things considered.
Wheat growers are nearly done SOW
ing, but the area will not be as
large as last year. They are pre-
pairing the soil for its reception
better than common, consequently
we may expect, Providence favor
ing, larger yield than usual next
year. Winter blowing for next
years crop of corn and cotton is
being pushed with a vim by the
most of our farmers. A good idea,
and one that should be adopted by
every farmer who expects to i'm
prove the value of his lands.
The unsettled condition of Euro
pean affairs will prevent great
many from going heavy in cotton
another year, as they think it will
affect the prices.
Miss Allie Puryear, who has been
spending a few years in Rutherford
and Warren counties, teaching the
young mind how to ideate, is at
present visiting relatives in this Sec
tion. She will remain until the last
of this month, when she will leave
for North Carolina, accompanied by
her father, Mr.. Alex. Puryear,
where they will reside permanently.
AS she formerly resided in this Sec
ton, and as all traces of her init
mate associations with society in
this neighborhood have not been
effaced by the lapse of time, and
considering the addition that her
joyous spirit, cultivated and refined
qualities made to society here, we
are 10th to give her up; but we must
yield to fate aud congratulate North
Carolina upon this addition to her
society. She goes the bearer of
-our best wishes for a safe journey
and pleasant sojourn in that land
where the woodbine twineth, and
the wind whistleth mournfully thro'
the.pines.
Cur neighbors have shipped their
surplus porkers to Nashville in the
hands of j. p. Woodland as agent,
and it is thought that they will real
ize short prices. AT the present
rates people will lose money by fat
tening hogs this year. The spirit
of improvement is developing itself
in this community just now, and it
can be truthfully asserted that Esq.
Parker will have the best barn for
room and convenience in the county.
So much for an enterprising spirit.
We see other signs that show un-
mistakably that we are no laggards
in this age of Improvement. Mr..
Joe Hamlet is repairing his farm
and residence, to which he will re-
move after winding up his business
on the Carter farm. Miss A. says
it is to be called the Cottage on
the hill" A quaint but an appro
pirate name, and it will present 9TH
er attractions as well.
Rothrock d Lasseter of Wales
have dissolved partnership, Lasseter
retiring and DR.. j. H. Rogers taking
his place. j. M. HARDWOOD takes an
interest in the firm, and the Will
Hanson brothers retire from the
mercantile business and move to
the country.
Who blames the boys for weigh
ing hogs at Mr.. Hopkins'2 1t is di-
rectly on the road to Wales, you
know; and then he has such good
cider. They weighed there the 9TH
er day, drove on, got to a bridge
and one fellow crawled under to
drive out hog and staid there for
over in the corn field
and laid there until his corporal
system could be carried in per
pendicular position to the Station
got there after the porkers were
loaded. Another fellow carried too
much sail, and not having enough
ballast, measured his length in the
wagon bed and came very near stav-
ing in his larboard side. And while
on the Wales bridge his anatomy
became uncertain as to which end
should be subject to point of gravi-
tation, his head ruled in the case,
and he again "kerhumixed." 1t is
said happier SCI of fellows were
never seen. Cider is not good for
some folks, especially seven and a
half glasses that is strong enough
to holf bead. KULLY.
