HARNEsT.-The crop of clover has been har
vested and stored away in good condition. By
the end of this week the cntire wheat crop of
the county will also be cut. The yield, it is be-
licvcd, will not average so much to the acre as
last year, but the total production of the county
will probably be as great, since larger acreage
was sowed. Oats look promising, and the yield
will probably be larger than for several years
past. Timothy, which is being cut, will also
make q fine yield
FALL. FROM A BARRACK.-On Monday, as
MIR. Thomas Barrow, who lives,ncar the Hickory

accidentally lost his foot-hod and fell to the
ground, from considerable height, dislocating
his left shoulder and seriously inuring the left
hip joint. Mr.. Barrow is one of the most indus
trious farmers in the county, and the accident
could not have occurred at more inconvenient

in the hottest weather. Dr. r. d. Lee rendered
the necessary surgical aid.
