Encouraging Signs.
(Ralefgh POst.)

1t is such items as these which give
encouragement at this time. The
Goldsboro Argus says "more wheat
has been sown in this county than for
many years." The Salisbury Sun,
says, ",he people of that locality are
sowing more wheat than for some
time Cotton fields Of ten and fifteen
acres that have been run in the staple
for years are being put in wheat" The
Charlotte Observer says: "Along all
the roads leading into Charlotte
the farmers report seeing wheat and
oats being sowed, or fields being put
in preparation for sowing in Deem
Der. If the reports now received may
be accepted as an average of what is
being done all over the county, the
cotton acreage will be decreased as
much as IS per cent. Some Of the
farmers are inclined to put the esti-
mate at 50 per cent"
And such good news comes from
every section in our State. If our
people will continue to raise all food
supplies required, and will unite to
restore good and economical govern
ment in the State, they will be the
most independent people in the coun-
try.

After the war. says the Baltimore

vestryman of Grace Episcopal Church.
Gen. Pen. Pendeton was rector, and
Gen Smith vestryman. Smith was not
on agreeable terms with Pendlet0n.
and complained to the officers of the
church that the cadets, among them
his own son, were deserving the church
OF their fathers, and that no persuas ion
could keep them from attending DR..
Pratts church (Presby,erlan). DR..
Pratt had a very beautiful daughter
named Grace, and while Gen. Smith
was pushing his objections to the rec
tor, Gen. Lee, with twinkle in his
eye, said to Smith: General, posi-
bly, the magnet which attracts your
son IS not SO much the doctors elo-
quence as the doctors Grace" The
