while, and by your permission we
have concluded TO take the - after
IN hand; and to set forth in order :;
declaration of such lutte. items ~
news as we may be able Ia coi,,tl-
and now, if we fail to say a great
deal, please be lenient, for we know
that news will be rare commodity.
The gee woa haw of the plow-
man is head on every hand.
Wheat S wing and stubb'e turning
is the order OF the day since the
late rains. We think the acreage
of wheat will be about tue same as
last year. Sorghum making and
cotton picking are moving on hand
in hand. The smoke from several
evaporators may be seen along our
creek, and the very all to us savors
of 'lasses candy. But few of our
farmers grow cotton and none of
them extensively. The most of
them prefer to grow corn and feed
it to their hogs. The corn crop is
not thought to be as good as last
, ear by 25 per cent. There is some
complaint of hog cholera, but we
hope it will not prevail to a very
serious extent. We had a good
deal Of murrain in the summer, but
none now.

Last week a certain Irish stock
dealer with school teaching propen-
stiles from near Diana came over
ostensibly to buy Mr.. patright's
cattle, but because Mr.. B. could
not see that $50 was more than he
would ever be offered again, the
buyer turned away from him in
disgust. Frenzied and wrathful he
came up to Mr.. Hamilton's school
and proposed to spell against the
whole school and if beaten to part
with half dollar. BLESSINGS on
the man who invented sleep" says
Don Quixote's Irishman,a and "BIess-
ings on the man who will invent a
dictionary in which cod-i Gil and
dom-i-cile end alike" says the
above mentioned cattle buyer; and
ten fold blessings on the man who
lent him the half dollar; and he pro-
poses t. make a codicil soon, in
which be will set apart the interest
on the profit on the next load of
cattle he sells, to support an insti-
tuition of learning in which Irish
men are to be taught how to spell.
