The Wheat Crop.

The time for harvesting viii
soon be here, and we solicit
from threshermen and farmers,
a report, for publication in the
OBSERVER, of the number of
bushels thrcshed, etc. BY the
adoption of this plan, all can
know what our county and its
people are doing in the grain
line. And in addition, We
would like to have the number
of acres that each farmer sowed
in wheat and the number Of
bushels yielded. The plan has
been followed for several years,
and the amount reported has in
creased with each succeeding
season. The first report was
about $4,000, and the figures
showed regular increase at
each harvest until 1877, when
over 100000 bushels were re-
ported. We hope that this
wear will far exceed any other.

The Telephone.

The Telephone.
Sure enough, as we announced
last week, the Telephone was
erected between Petty's book
store and the Petty House, and
we saw it in operation. The
smallest wire was stretched be-
tween the two points and vas
held up or supported BY a pole
fastened 10 "a corner of the
courthouse fence. AT either
end is q thin cylinder, an old
fruit can with its top and bot
tom taken off and the end COW
cred with q piece of bladder.
In the centre Of this piece of
bladder the wire enters and is
held by knot. These cylin-
ders are in common cigar box
es. These boxes evidently
serve as sounding boards, and
repeated experiments have de-
monstratcd their value. With
this simple contrivance persons
may talk at pleasure from one
end Of the wire 10 the other,
and the sounds of reports arc
much louder than one would
suppose; and when a musical
instrument was played at the
house the air could be distinct
ly heard by those who were in
the store, and all came through
the wire. The thing Is really
wonderful, and any one not hav-
ing seen nor heard it would
scarcely credit its efficiency.
- We again publish the
Moot Court 10 day. The case for
trial, is to be called promptly at
u o'clock next Tuesday night,
and a prompt attendance of all who
expect to be present is desirable.
The local hits that will intersperse
the trial are frequent and racy,
and cannot fail to provoke laug h
err. Care has been taken, in pre-
pairing them, to AVOID any thing
that could give offence; on the
contrary, it is hoped, by harm
less bumor, to interest and please
those who may attend. The
whole affair is so planned as to
cost nearly nothing, thus leaving
the receipts to be applied almost
entirely for :he benefit of the
Cumberland Church. The ad-
mission fee is nominal, being only
% cents.
R Two of our estimable cit.
liens, Mr.. ]. e Caldwell and Col.
N. j. George, had personal col
lision on last Thursday evening.
A trust deed by Caldwell with
George as trustee caused q differ
ence of opinion as to how the
business should be wound up, and
the parties meeting in Bruce's Of
fee, rencontre quickly followed,
in which Caldwell received sever
al blows over the head, and George
was shot twice, once in the left
arm near the elbow, and again in
the breast near the right nipple.
Both parties will recover.
