THE CROPS IN KING GEORGE
Wheat and oats have greatly improved
in the six days past, an6 the oat crop
is now pronounced the heaviest and
most promising in many years. The
open weather has enabled the farmers
to make fine progress in working corn,
and they are, therefore, fairly we'll ND
in "side-wiping" and wedding. Some
few of the farmers are "two-furrowing."
The hay crop is about harvested,
and the yield, as rule, throughout
the county, is above the average
and entirely satisfactory.-Fredericks

LIFE IN the South before the war be-
tween the States was, compared with
the present. paradise. Few Southern
people, to be sure, had large bank az.
c.uoLs, but fewer still were paupers, and
a brsgar was almost unknown from the
y domac to the Gulf. That war prof
it d the North. but it was disastrous to
the South. There is no sense in crying
over split milk, but the Charleston Ne'r'
aud Courier only speakes the truth when
it. SAYS that if the Confederates had sue
cccded, "it is certain that the condition
of lie South would have been infinitely
better and brighter during the past
thirty years and now in every respect
that makes for the welfare and happi
ness of a people. The advantages and
benefits of ''the union," so called, are
on the side OF those who fought so hard
to maintain it,"

MELONS BY TEE MILLIoNs.-Th
shipment of watermelons from Georgia
has commenced. The Savannah News
says: Georgia will have the average
crop of melons this year-that is, so
far as the size of the crop is concerned
while as to quality it is expected they
will be ahead of the average. The re-
ports received show that there are
10000 acres planted along the lines of
the Plant system in Georgia, all in the
southwestern section of the State.
The melons average about car to two
acres, which means that Georgia will
yield this year about 6 900 cars. From
1000 to 1 200 melons are usually loaded
in car, the number depending upon
the size of the melons.

The Rochester Post-Erpress says
there is no hope Of democratic unity in
New York, as the national democratic
administration has no favors for the
Hill democrats" What "Hill demo
,rats" may be. is unknown, but the fact
that all those democrats in New York
who stand by the nominees of their
party voted for Senator Hill, while the
kickers, mugwumps and anti-snappers
voted for the republican candidates,
induces all other democrats to believe
that the former compose the true de-
nocracy Of the Empire State. 1t is
also certain that though the present
administration was elected by the DEM
o :rats of the whole country, and
though they begged it to speak one
word for the democratic ticket in New
York, it positively refused to do so.
