The damage TO wheat, which we began
to report about W weeks ago. seems to
have grown worse, rather than better.
Most Of it is attributed to the ravages
of the Hessian fly the lack of freezing
during the winter, and the hardness of
the ground consequent on long con-
tiuued rains. In some fields the crop
will not be worth cutting; IN others il
will be quite short, while in some fields
there will be good crops. Take the
county over, and a fair half crop is the
post that can be expected.

jefferson City Tribune: In mentioning

Jefferson City Tribune: In mentioning
the names of attorneys who appeared in
the bond SUIT before the Supreme court.
Alex. Graves, Esq. of Lexington, was
made to appear for the bondholders.
In all the bond suits, whether in state
or federal courts. Mr.Graves has rep
resented Lafayette county. We make
this correction in order that Mr.Graves
may appear correctly on record.

The Jefferson City Tribune falls. mad
vertently, into two errors in reporting
the recent decision of Judge Norton in
the Webb case. /. 1t transposes the po-
sition Of the attorneys in the case.
Mr.. Graves represented Lafayette ceun-
ty. and Mr.. II. Haynes the bondholder's
side of the question. ,. 1t editorlally
states that, 'all the bonds issued by the
county court have been compromised
with the exception Of $4,000 Theidea
here intended to be conveyed is that all
but S25, 900 of the bonds Of Lafayette
county effected by the suit in question
a distinct issue of 5000. 000-have been
compromised. This is approximately
true but OF Lafayette county's entire
debt on county bonds there still remains
about S2Qe. 900 to be compromised. AS
will be seen elsewhere the Tribune has
already corrected one of these errors.
