KERNEYsvILLE, July Is,

kERNEYsvILlE, July Is, 1882
Mr.. Editor-In travelling through
our beautiful county, we hear good IL
dings from all sections. An immense
wheat crop has been harvested and the
farmer happy man. 1t isthougbt that
the crop in Jefferson county viii aver
age at least twenty bushels per acre. 4
great many used this year "Self Bind
ers" and all that | saw did fine work
and the purchasers well pleased Among
those who purchased these machines |
would mention l. Ii. Strider, d. Jones,
Z. Henry, NJ. w. Burr, II. e. Gelzen-
danner, b. S Mcintyre, &c. "Coming
events cast their shadows before and
all this tells us that new era has be-
gun with the farmer The cradle, the
last relic of "harvest times" will be laid
away; "old things are passing away and
the farmer apace with the times is ever
alive 10 the new civilization" Well
our large crop b,speaks full pockets for
the husbandmap, and dealers are al
ready bidding for the same. Messrs.
Drawbaugh * Atkinson We learn have
made full arrangements for buying
largely and offer the highest cash prices.
They have appointed Capt. Joshua
Hamill, at this point, as their agent,
who will not be oulbid by anyone in
the market. This is good firm and ii
would be advisable for all having wheat
to sell to call on their agent Capt. Josh.
Our corn crop is also very promising.
Tho season has been good and it Is
growing nicely. The peach crop fair
ore, but apples are scarce. Our little
town is improving slowly, nothing, you
know, can stand still in this country.
DR.. Border is breaking ground for fine
residence. His orchard consisting OF
nearly four thousand fruit trees is grow
ing finely. Trump is getting rich in
the lumber business along Blaine Il
Davis railroad in the mountains. Rod
gers has the best wagon maker in the
county-but ! had better stop, some
day l will tell you more. Xxx.

To the Farmers Of Jefferson
County.

An intelligent appreciation of the
great blessings which Beneticent Ben
efactor has bestowed upon the husband
man in the gif: of most abundant har-
vest, should be made manifest by some
public demonstration. Therefore |
suggest that the farmers of Jefferson
County should hold, early IN August,
a Mass Meeting at some central point,
when suitable exercises should be had.
The Changers III the different sections
of the county should bold meetings and
appoint committees who should meet
together to organize the meeting by
fixing place, time, and secure speakers,

eY- SEEING GUTEAU's GHOsT.-1'he
shade of the assassin, Guiteau, is bother
ing the Jail officials some. The prisoners
ut the Jail are mostly coloreG men. They
imagine that Guiteau's ghost makes
nightly visits to the Jail and are conse-
Quently filled with terror. 1t is COM
mon occurrence for negro to jump up
and down in his cell and howl murder at
the top of his voice during the night, fam
ewing he has seen an aparition of the late
assassins. This sets the balance of the
prisoner in an uproar. Those who
haven't had the pleasure of "seeing the
ghost" howl from sympathy. 1t is a
great source of annoyance to the warden
of the Jail, as he does not know of any
way to stop these nocturnal urbances.
