Correspondence of The Sentinel.
MANA, March 12-The oat crop is going to
be large one, if the season is favorable one.
But little tobacco will be planted here this
season. Low prices have put the farmers to
thinking and they turning their atten-
ton more largely tie 'hog and hominy' and
the grasses. Wheat is looking very fine here
and the crop from present indications is
going to be large one. Mr. Allison Tay lor
has field of wheat on DIR c J Watkins
farm here that is regular daisy" one of
the finest fields ever seen here at this season:
Messrs C B Wade and p S Early are pre-
pairing to put out large Irish potato crop.
The people are very much displeased over
the Encouragement of the counties in the
revenue department. No one man can per-
form the duties of the two counties. Yadkin
has always had deputy collector, for the
business required one. There are now
eleven distilleries running and four waiting
for warehouse approva. with several more
applications on file. 1t is to be hoped that
this doubling up of counties will soon be
annulied
Messrs C B Wade & Co., of our village,
have sold their entire interest in the store
at West Bend, n. c., to Messrs Gohlson,
Wade d Ollie Butner, who will continue
the business there. Trade at the, stores is
pretty good. Messrs b Wade & Co here
took in one day S175 cash and 500 in an
