LA INQUIRE, Oak. Aug. 6.-Wheat
cutting has commenced In La MouTe county,
and the most conservative estimates put the
yield above twenty bushels per acre as an
average. In that county nearly 400 binders
have been sold this season, which indicates
a large increase Of acreage. Neither storms
nor hot weather have done injury worthy of
note in this section.

SCENES ON THE wHARyEs.
Sunday Among the Shipping and Along
the River Front.

One Of the quietest places on Sunday is
down among the shipping. savannah's
water front extends from the Ocean
Steamship Company's wharyes away
down the river two miles, to the Sayan-
nah Florida and Western railway
wharves. Most Of the sailing craft lie at
the lower end, although bare, raking
masts are TO be seen all along the line
When shipping is active the 'front.' IN
places resembles miniature forests OF
masts. StrOtling along the docks yester-
day one would have been surprised at the
inactivity. only here and there was a
seaman to be seen.
A few small boys concealed behind tall
piles were trying to lure some minnOws
from the muddy river. These, and an Oc-
casional 'longshoreman, who was doing
OF gazing vacautly in the direction OF the
opposite shore, were the only evidences OF
animation.
In the middle of the day the tars that
We're on boardship were on the shady side
Of the canvas. Being day OF no work
Jack was quietly disposing of the time as
best suited his inclination. A neighbor-
ing shed was more inviting for sleep than
the close, hot hunks. Occasionally one
came across knot Of two or three spin
ming yarns. For weird imaginative stories
the ancient mariner, though heavily handi-
capped, viii take the prize every time.
Many sou OF Neptune prefers in his inner
heart TO be the acknowledged boss yaru-
teller than "a sub-Oficer OF the ship. The
speaker breaks OIL for "A minute, as an
excursion steamer glides past with Il
crowd Of passengers waving hats and
handkerchiefs. Though his wTinkled and
weather-beaten face Indicates uncertain
age, Jack is susceptible and chiValric,

A good bit OF whiting is done on
sundays, for every tar has model
under way ''fOr lad at 'Ome, sir" An
old sailor has an eye for the line OF beauty
and ne wnittles out of a rough block the
symmetricallY carved bull and Prov with
the delicate hand Of a sculptor. Writing
home is Jacks hardest task. lie Will tell
you frankly that he had rather 20
al0ft in the toughest weather than
labor over a letter. The picture recalls
Dickens description Of sam Weller writ
ing to his Mary.
In the evening when a little zephyr
springs up, bringing with II myrads of
buzZing mosquitoes, Jack lights his pipe
and goes on deck. Some more of his
mates ramble of up to the city. Church
doors flung wide open attract him, and
he mOdestly takes seat In one OF the
pews nearest the door. lie prefers the
least fashionable places OF worship, and
goes in more for the music than the
preaching.
The first Sunday in strange port is
generally spent by the crew in rambling.
Jack likes to get on shore after long
trip and stretch his legs. In seeing the
sights he gets rid of the most Of his money
in very short time. While his wealth
lasts he is as lavish as any spendthritt.
GrOg he VIII have, and he makes things
lively around the sailors boarding-houses
when provoked.
