tied the community, taking from oar
midst, one Of our worthy and beloved
citizens in the person Of Mr.. james
Yates, which occurred on the morning
Of June 9th, at his residence about two
miles north Of Buford; the fatal dis

Wheat has all been harvested in
this section, and is now being threshed,
the average Of which will be about
three-fourths Of . crop. There is .
much larger average Of corn in this
seatiOn now than there has been for
several years, and as Il has . very pro-

thinking that there will not be an i'm
mense quantity of the serial produced
this year, and the Oat crop 1 believe
was never finer. There is an average
crop of tobacco set in this neighbor-
hood.

himself Of the great danger impending
and of which he was said to be entire

his ankle was tetotally crushed,
and the right leg narrowly escaped
the same fate with q very bad
bruise, the hid. was valiantly removed
by the few present, and Mr.. Wiggen-
