A New Delivery.

Mr.. Mic Tengg, the Commerce
street statiOner, has put new or
nament on our streets. 1t is moth

bed manufactured especially to or

The wagon, which is drawn by a
fine specimen of the equine race,

firm and adds lustre to the stream
of vehicles driven on our streets
every day.

CHURcHvILLE, May 14th.-News in
this neighborhood, is almost as scarce as
the proyerbial 'shen IS teeth" We had fine
rains recently, but that is No news to the
readers of the INDICATOR. Prior to the
rains it was very dry and dusty for the
time of year. Vegetation has been very
much refreshed by the rain, but am afraid
the rain came too late for the wheat and
grass to make even an average crop. The
wheat, SO have been informed, is coming
into head quite short, and the heads are
small. Farmers think such things indi-
cate short crop than otherwise. There is
no evil, however, without some compensat-
ing good. II there is not so much wheat
made. it may command a better price. So
what is lost in one way may be made
up in another. This country seems to be
given to over-production, in almost every
line of business. Not even the newspaper
business is free from it. Nearly every man
thinks he knows now to run newspaper
these days, but it at last resolves itself into
the Survival of the fittest.''
The health of the neighborhood is pretty
good, as have heard of no special sick
ness lately.

Maria Fairing Of Ala, is not a young

the Gospel to her people in Africa. The
Mission Board has not been able to send

County Crops.

The recent rains. greatly needed for all
the growing crops, will be especially hene-
fetal in the wheat and grass fields and gar
dens. Clover hay is too far gone to make
even fair crop, but timothy has been saved
to the extent that continued coed season
may give the usual yield, Wheat which
headed exceedingly short, and seemed to be
retrograding daily, is now, since the rains,
rapidly growing, and bids fair to make a
good average, though it will not likely be
up to the crop of last year. The open win
ter was favorable to blowing and more
than the usual acreage was planted in corn.
1t is starting well. The prospect for the
oat crop is so poor that no weather can
save it.

The 10th District Democratic Nominating
Convention.

A meeting of the members OF the Demo-

district will be held at the Office of the
Chairman, MI. Edward Echols, in this
city tomorrow. The committee is COM
posed of Messrs. Echols of Augusta, W.
A. Anderson Of Rockbridge, Camm Patter-
son of Buckingham, w. M. McAllister of
Bath, and Tinsley Coleman of Nelson.
A majority of it is understood to be in ia
vor of Buchanan, Botetourt, as the place
of meeting and September 18th, OF there
about, as the time. Botetourt is the new
county of the district, and it seems to be
agreed that it would be proper compli-
ment to pay her to hold the convention
this time within her borders. Buchanan
is also easy of access to the delegates from
the Eastern countless
