The Grain Crop.

From The WASHINGTON tGG.) Chronicle.
Very much has been said and written
about the injury done TO the grain crops
by the January freeze, though many do
not understand that the destruction to
the oats was complete. In a ride OF
thirty-two miles to Elberton, last week
we did not see a single held OF oats that
were sOwed in the summer or fall OF last
year, the destruction being total, and the
fields either resolved or in the course of
preparation for other crops. Wheat Is
very backward, and the prospect for a
grain crop quite poor. 1t will be the
part Of wisdom on the part of farmers TO
plant largely of corn, because no reli-
ance can be placed on spring oat crop,
and everything would seem to indicate
that we are to have lower prices for cot

BRAVE SOLDIERS.

The veterans of the late war must
feel highly elated over the attempt of
a few ''Women fighters to keep peo-
pie from attending their Tuesday
evening entertainment. There are
always few milk sops in every COM
munity, who are ready to make war
upon defenseless women. who imagine
that upon their shoulders rests the
welfare, the morality Of the communi-
ty in which they live. To this class
Of valiant warriors does the bald-faced
hypocritical dude, who has so assidu-
ously maligned the character of Kate
w. Howe, belong. Such fellows were
called ''skulkers" during the war, no
doubt because Of their boldness in
attacking and ransacking unprotected
homes in the south. He belongs to
the class of towards who disgraced
the war by insults offered to the
women of the country through which
the armies marched-a few were shot
by indignant comra des for criminal
assault. Mrs. Howe has lost nothing
by gaining the enmity of this swell
head, pufed-up "Woman fighter. ''AS x x
This jealous guardian of morality
has insulted the judgment of the G.
A. r. Post in this city, has attempted
to bring odium upon the Light Guards
and reflected against the honesty of
every mother whose children helped
in the entertainment. There are not
words enough in the English language
to convey an adequate idea of how
contemplate this man has been. To
name him skunk would be unfair to
the skunk. Bah The subject is un-
savory. 1t stinks in the nostrils of
decency. Let the calumniator, the
scandal monger, the traducer, be
spotted by the people ! Let him be
pointed to on the streets as an 'sOld
Betty" with whom no woman's honor
is safe.
The Torch of Liberty likewise ez-
pressed similar sentiments, using the
names of parties. There is great and
deep felt indignation throughout the
