The corn crop of the United States
this year promises to be, by long odds,
the largest ever known in the history
of the country. The time has arrived
when estimates can safely be made,
nnd it is confidently predicted, that the
yield will amount to fully two and
quarter billions OF bushels. This will
be lar IN excess OF the yield OF 1891 ::
which cav the greatest crop ever pro.

President Spencer, of the Southern
Railroad has outlined the policy of his
