Joseph Yates brought to Cor
Wallis this week some samples of
Yellow Dent corn which was raised
on a farm adjoining that of Mr..

east of this city. The corn is
6rst-class article of it's kind and is
hard to beat. On one-half acre
there grew 25 two-bushel sacks OF
the corn. Admitting that the sacks
actually contained but l IL bush
