The drouth Of the spring and early
summer has been actually distressing.
The grass crop has been cut short
again, the oats we'll nigh failure, the
wheat all too thin, but we believe the
quality will be unusually good, while
OF tobacco or corn we can only hope
The latter is at least free Of grass, and

spondent, and when they are so the

Of such fragrant violation Of law ?
And especially is this true when the

a writer Of a North Carolina paper
has recently said: "The negroes were
freed in 1865, the white folks in 1901. -
Write 1902 instead OF 1901 and the
picture will suit Virginia. And now
that the " bite voters are free, politicians

some free thinking and free acting
