the conference which was appointed
to meet in Par.s on the 18th Of No

OPS letter below: He says;
"The prevalence OF yellow fever in
Paris, the dispersion Of It's citizens
and the consequent inability Of our
friends to complete their churci edi-
fee for the session of the Conference,
render it inexpedient to hold the en-
suing Memphis ANIMAL Conference
there. Letters from their pastor and
other members Of that body confirm
this. jackson and Union City have
generously proposed to receive Us, and
as jackson was tie first to invite us,
/ hereby propose that the Memphis
Conference meet there on the 4ih Of
December, provided that the epidem-
ic shall not extend It's ravages TO IT.
As vet it has been spared. Should 1t
NOT continue 50. of course another
place will be announced, if one can be

There is at present living in our
family a gentleman from your county,
who takes your very interesting paper,
which We peruse with great pleasure.
Now We have noted with some consid-
cradle interest, your items in regard
10 the strawberry culture in and about
Milan, and it moves me 10 give you
few items in regard to a patch of my
own. Wei, to begin with, year ago
last January, set out on a quarter of
an acre Of bottom loan, which had
never known manure, aud which had
been in potatoes and oats successfully
for seven years, two thousand straw
berry plants. | did not expect to re-
alize anything FROM them the first
year, but, on the contrary, was Oblig-
ed 70 have recourse to the market.
And | am positive, / have gathered
one hundred and fifty dollars worth
of them this year from thesame patch
at ten cents a quart. They commenc-
ed to bear in May, and | can safely
say that they are as plentiful now as
then, and bid fair to last unit! Octo>
Der and probably November Or De,
cember, as they are still blooming and
heavily loaded with berries.
Our grain crops are very light.
Land that last year went a hundred
and some odd bushels to the acre, this
year yields only thirty and forty bush
els. And no cause can be assigned
for the falling short Of the grain un-
less it be the excessive fall of rain du
ring the winter and early spring
months. The farmers are almO-t done
thrcshing, but the potato crop has to
be gathered in, and bids fair to be a
paying one. Our early potatoes
brought US as high as four GEMS per
pound, and will probably bring the
same price before next spring, us the
number of acres planted falls far short
Of previous years.
Hoping this will be worthy an in
sertion in your paper, | subscribe my
self. MRs. WIN. WHITE.
