Look Well to Your Company,


We have received n letter from Fairfield Coun-
ty warning US against the teachings Of
prowling Greenbacker Who, the writer says, 70
believed TO be hireling Of the Radical party,
and sent out into the country settlements Of the
upper Counties Of the State particularly those
counties in which the vote between the Demo
cratic and Republican party is pretty close-to
divide the democratic vote upon abstract
idea Of greenback currency. Thewriier says
that Mclean first finds out who are the sore
heads, very doubtful and office seeking demo
Gratis Of n county and makes them his tools and
associates. This certainly agrees with his course
here. In that County, (Fairfeld) the writer
says, Mclean organized greenback club, in
which there are number Of women and chill
dren, seven white men who supported the Rad: :
cal party in its most corrupt time, with three
ex-radical office holders.
We notice one peculiar feature in Mclean s
mission through the State: lie never holds
public meetings or makes public speeches at any
place where he would be likely to have the mer-
it's aims and objects Of his one.idea doctrine
discussed.
soreheaded, on-the fence and alway dissatisfied
individuals, ever ready to follow any new and
captivating political dogma that may come along.
Such men are mainly governed by the hope of
general good. In this State the move is inten-
ded to destroy the democratic majority for Pres
ident and we warn all good democrats to keer
out of such an infamous plot

The Weather and Crops.


The farmers generally, in this County, are
feeling quite nXious about their crops. The
extremely dry, cold and windy weather the past
three weeks has no doubt materially injured the
c,tton. Most of il, however, is clean of grass,
and rain now would enable it to partially rccov
er About two weeks ago good rains fell in par
tial spots North east and East from here but the
larger part of the county is wanting rain badly.
Corn is suffering much for want of rain and
from the worm. We saw stalk on Monday
that had two worms eating the silk encased in
the green shuck, and upon cutting the stalk open
four worms were found boring their way in
every direction and completely eating out the
inside. In many fields one-thrd Of the corn is
in this condition and worse. Farmers are puz-
zled to know what to do to arrest the ravages Of
this pest.
Gardens are almost entirely ruincl. Beans,
Cucumbers, Squashes and Tomatoes are dying
for want of rain. Cabbages may come out if it
rains in n few days. IIousekecpcrs have hard
time to get up dinner.
Pastures of all kinds are burning up. Those
under fence are doing best. a correspondent at
Smiths Ford writes, under date of 10Th
Crops here promising where they have
been well worked, and if II farmer is in the grass
now you may set him down as n lazy man. for
never saw a more favorable year for farmers to
keep their crops clean and in good condition.
We would like TO have good rain now to wet
the ground thoroughly. We have had gentle rains
ever since crops were planted. Not single one
has fallen to wash the land since planting began.
