the fact that Burtons statement was

The Corn Crop.

From the Athens Banner Waterman.
The corn crop is made, and a yield
equal to that of any since the war will be
realized. The farmers are all enlarging
their cribs, and telling big tales about the
large amount they expect to make. We
heard one tell tale yesterday that lays
all the fish stories in the shade. He said
that he had gathered three times from the
same stalk, and that last Saturday he
gathered seed corn from the same stalks
that he had been eating roasting ears
from all the summer. Another remarked
that he had some corn that forked after
it got about feet from the ground,
and that each fork had a large
ear ON it. 'rhis is not a marker
by the side of some | have" said VIM
terville farmer, who had been taking les
sons under Redden Pittard on farming.
"My corn came up, and after it got about
three feet high it stopped growing and
tasseled out, aud looked like it would not
make a thing. / worked it well,'' said
the farmer, "but still it would not grow,
and l concluded to pull 1t up and feed 1t
TO my stock, and to my surprise the first
stalk pulled up had large ear of corn
at the root. expect to dig a good crop
Of corn out OF this field" There certainly
must be big crop raised, or there must
be some of the biggest liars in the state
in this community.

Master Willie Coleman, son of Mr..

rious accident one evening last week.
Willie entered stable to feed pair of
mules. AS be entered the door he STUN
bled and fell near the dangerous end OF
one of the mules. He received some Sc

We are pleased to state that he is all right
except the top of his Sunday hat that he
was wearing at the time. Willie says he
was kicked senseless; that when he re-
covered his senses he placed his hands
upon his head where he felt some mud,
which he thought was his brains. This
excited him very much.
The above reminds the writer of some

in cOrnfield. We were deplOyed ten or
twelve PAGES apart; the night was dark,
and we and the 1anks were firing at the
flash OF each others guns. The corn was
a hill. The Yanks' bullets were coming
hind a bunch of cOrnstalks that
was in full roasting-ear, standing
erect up near the corn. Presently a
mimic struck the ears of green corn near
my head. l thought / was a dead man.

the shattered corn and, of course, thought
