ABOUT WHEAT RAISING.

The Commonwealth is pleased 10
learn that more persons have raised
wheat in this community than usual.
A successful farmer said to us q few
days ago that two acres of wheat we'll
cared for would make enough for any
ordinary family. And so it would.
It our farmers would once get at &c,
it would be as easy TO raise a wheat
crop as any other. AS we have often
said before, once there is wheat enough
TO justify it some one will put in all
the necessary facilities for grinding il
and for making first class -four at

observations for Robson county farm

The people OF North Carolina have

They have been but little addicted 10

While other States have been conspicu.
Gus on gala days and in the historical

Mr.. Bancroft, whose duties led him TO

the people Of this State have accom-
plished i'm the cause Of human freedom
and in the vindication Of rights ever
held dear by free born citizens, and
has, in his immortal pages, chronicled
some of the events that mark the ed
vance Of North Carolina upon the
highway OF civil liberty and religious
development. But, unfortunately, the
people in this State have been so iso.
lated from the great centres, have had
so little communication with the out.
side world, have been SO destitute Of
those channels OF intercourse that
belong TO more favored sections, that
the great, important and unquestioned
facts Of their history are unknown to
the people Of other States. While the
skirmishes Of the New England States
are known and read of all men events

qbs simple earnestness OF his manner,
and the zeal he manifested in seeking

Fs another feature i'm his cas- which
entains the kernel Of this sketch, and
sss was the fact that none OF the

the light. Finally, the writer was
ssked 10 speak with the brother who
seemed q 10 earnest.
In order to hnd where he was, /
olied him with some close questions,
such as the following:
Have you ever been q ChristianH"
"No, sir"
"Do you want to be a Christianf"
HYss, sir"
ARE you willing to confess and give
upyOur sinsT"
Here he answered hesitatingly. I
was trying to find out what hindered
him in coming at once 20 the Savior
for pardon. Believing / had found his
trouble, I said:

against whom you hold a grudgeG"

that person the wrong done you, or
the Lord cannot forgive you"
