The Dover Courier says that Stew
art county farmers are having a good
season to save their hay crop, which,
we are informed, is very good. Corn,
though late, owing to excessive rains
in the month of May, promises a fair
crop, The acreage of tobacco is large,
and as there has been no scarcity of
plant, the crop was planted in good
time and is growing nicely.
Dr. j. c. Steger, says the Dover
Courier, left Friday evening last for
Alabama, having received a dispatch,
summoning him to The bedside of his
sister, who has been in very poor
health for several months. He will
be absent several weeks, and will be
miss d by the friends of the Courier,
all of whom sympathize with him in
his trouble.
His many friends were pleased to
see Prof. f.. E. Larkins, who has
been absent from Erin for some time,
on the streets again in his usual
health and spirits, and to renew the
friendly greetings and pleasant asso-
Citations of other days.-Erin Neus.
