pun 15--ph ana mat the crop Is short.
Much grass has been cut and saved.
Seine Of the farmers speak Of sowing
much wheat this fall. Corn is coming
light well on hish lands. Low grounds
not 50 good.
This IS the first notes we have had
from Aurclian springs fol- several weeks.
We think the mails are very much disor-
gained as our correspondent has former
ly been very prompt.-EI.I
HE ARTISAN WELL WILL UT BE
RoRED.-Capt. Shuster ofthe government
boat on the river, andMr .J,T. Moore have
proposed to guarantee an overflow well
Tor 500. The town Commissioners voted
$50 Monday with tin ploviso that the
other $3.50 be RAISED by private subscnp-
ton. The contracting parties guarantee
an overflow of5 gallons minute for
500, gallons a minute for 400, snd 50
ON. If they do not get water it will cost
20 one anything but the borers. The
private subscriptions for the other $3.50
n
commence on the well again. A gentle
| man said to Us that an overflow wei!
would raise the value Of town property
$4,000 in 60 days.
OVERLOADING.- The season is coming
most constantly engaged in hauling their
produce to market. 1t is an opportune
time to call after ton t. the habit that
some men have of over loading their
teams. Simply because a horse or a
mule or an OK can draw the wagon or
| cart is no argument that he is not over
loaded. judgement ought to be used as
constantly IN loading animals as in feed
ing them. One days work for an aLimal
under overlooking will do him more real
! damage aud cost him more energy than a
weeks work with an ordinary load
Besides beng injurious to the animals it
is cruel. We hope to soon see the time
when men will regard the comfort of their
| beasts more
THEY OUGHT TO DO IT,--Therc is
great inconvenience to the public IN haT-
! ing to wait at the ''I'' near Halifax every
| day. Wbsn the train from Greenvile
reaches the ''Y'', it has to wait to send a
| tlagman on and sonnet mes has to wait
/ for trains to pass. All this is annoying
| and ncOnveEicnt to the travelling public
l. 1 ~
very little to build the track from the "
to the depot, and thus let the train run in
on time. 1t is especially annoying to
persons attending court to have t. wait
so long near the town, or Sct off and walk.
! VIII net the railroad authorities consider
| it, We think they can arrange it at little
cost and they owe it to the public to do it.
TIE WAY TO DO IT.-Passing Spring
! Hill the other day we jumped off the cars
and had a little chat with Mr.. w. T.
| RIddick about his farm. lie said that he
finished that day hauling in all his COM
post for next spring, He has done all
his scraPing mould and has hauled it in
while many others doubtless have been
growing over the short crops. Mr.. Rid
dick looks on the bright side and is full
of hope for next year, and the country
necus men that look at things in this
light.
