We have a curiosity in the TINES
Office, from field of corn belonging
to Mr.. D. T. Legg. It is four average
ears of corn, we'll formed and fully
matured, grown on a stalk OF corn,
from one shoot. We have often heard
OF as many ears on stalk, but have
never head OF, or saw before, so many
ears produced from one shoot. 1t IS
q wonder which the public IS invit-
ed to examine.
Tomorrow is Thursday, the grand
rallrins day Of the County Democra-
cy. Citizens of every section viii he
present; and also may be expected, a
candidate from almost every treside.
The meeting will be called at 1890
o'clock. Speech making Will be the
order of the day. We suggest, for
the convenience of the speakers and
audience, that platform be raised in
the shades of the Court House square,
where the voice of the candidate will
not be compassed with walls and shin
giles.
What has become of the staff Of in
telligent correspondents OF the TINES,

%e considered staunch and true, has
deserted US; but he has got to be a
politician, and we can expect no bet
ter, Come back friends. The TINES
entreats you; our readers will vel
come you.
