 Randolph Leader: As general rule, | the farmers as all other classes, are in a
 better financial condition than they have
 been for several years. They have
 bought less and made more supplies, and
 in addition have gotten a better price for
 their cotton. Though 1t will take some time-yet for the effects of the financial panic to pass away, still we believe the final results will be beneficial to the coun- try. There are no lessons so well learned as those acquired in the school of expe- rience.

 ways ready to lend his substantial aid in
 furtherance of improvement to her. | TuskaIoosa Gazette: Mir. J. W. Jones, one of the best farmers of the sylvan | neighborhood and one of the Gazette 8 best friends, brought us a genuine curios- ity on last Thursday of the corn kind.

The largest of these, the one occupying the center, was about inches long, and ! was well developed on all sides; the other three ears were around this one, and were l each nearly inches long, and were filled l with corn. Altog gether the whole outlay had about as much corn as is usually found on two good common ears or corn.
