Cincinnati Post has a romance" in the
story of an old bachelor editor in that
city who was charmed by beautiful
girl many years ago, and lost sight of his
charmer, even relinquishing all hope of
ever seeing her again. A short time ago,
at a reception given Judge Foraker, the
lonely scribe met the lady again. 1t was
Mrs. Foraker. Julia Bundy was one of
the prettiest of Jackson county girls
and that is saying a good deal.

| will with pleasure comply with
your request in regard to wheat and
fruit prospects. There is not a peach
bloom Oh my place, neither have !
seen one this season; but upon ex-
animation | find that the buds are
nearly all alive and kept back BY the
cold weather. At present the fruit
prospect is good in this vicinity.
The wheat prospect is not as fiat
tering as it was at this time last
year, on account of the unfavorable
winter. Some crops froze out until
there is not more than half stand,
while there are others that have
from three fourths to good stands.
Wheat is coming out and locks very
healthy. / think there will be over
a half crop raised in this neighbor-
hood. Oats very backward about
coming up -. Scarcely any corn
planted yet, but many are expect
ing to plant this week There will
be more cotton planted than usual.
!. Hoping to hear from all parts OF
the county through the DEMOCRAT,
am respectfully. j. G. Bonds.
