llrotlier Shivers says: “ Kditor
Lewis is supporting one independ
ent at least, viz: Kditor Glessner of
the Amer.cus Recorder." Yes,
we like his sort of independence.
He stauds sqnarely, without mental
reservation, on tlie organized De

is tlie highest style of independ

Dcmocrats-dncluding Kditor mov

30BBEB:—The farmers
ressing finely with their
intss. We are having some
utiful weather for our business.
Wo had three of the nicest rains
last week I think I ever saw, all
coming at night and not causing
any delay witli the farmers at all.
Was very fine for planting potatoes,
some few had slips ready. It’s
rather early for planting them but
we thought best to plant now, as
we can’t tell whether it will rain
any more this summer or not, us
it did not last year. We must
judge the future oy the past. We
were without rain last year from
the 25th of April until tl e 4th of
August. The corn crop continues
to look well. Everybody says it
is 'the best crop for years. The
wheat has improved very much in
tlie past few weeks. 1 think the
cool mornings have lieen an ad
vantage to it. Tlie oat crop is on
a boom witli tlie seasons we have
hud for the past week You can
most see them grow. Tlie cotton
as yet is very feeble, and most
every one ia complaining of poor
stuuds. Don i know the cause.
Some say the seed was not good;
Olliers say it was tlie season and
tlie way it was planted. Home are
ready for chopping. I will give
myself u knocking down to No. 1
Keovilc in the morning, and will do
my best, to entertuin him for a few
weeks I am well acquainted witli
the hoc hut don’t like much to
meet tlie handle. 1 gave my mrl-
oi’H tlie first working with the hoe
tliis morning. They are looking
fine, some are running and some
have run away, ns 1 fail to fiud
them in tlie patch. Gone west, I
guess.
I received a message frem A. J.
11. last week to send him u bucket
of berries. I wish ho could wait
awhile. I will send him some
blossoms tlie first chance, to quiet
him until iny berries come. Ho
said- he could tuke them green, red
or black. It would have made me

It is stated that the House Com

have agreed to report to Congress
a bill “to suspoml the issue of sil
ver certificates, anil to limit tlie
coinage of silver dollars to the re
quirements of the people.” This
is in accordance with tlie recom
mendations of the President in his
message, and it may be supported
by |the Republicans as a party
measure. We trust that the Dem
ocrats will oppose with like una
nimity. Even Secretary Sherman,
alter opposing the silver remoneti- j

admit the great aid which those j
measures contributed to the re i

is doing. Tlie mill will receive his

have no wheat, bring some nice
white corn. You can get some
very nice flour made of corn.
That's the way 1 have been doing
this year. I hud no wheat, so 1
have used flour made out of white
corn.
