Mr. Booker also says that his wheat i.i of the purple straw variety and almost rust proof, Mr. Booker’s success in raising wheat is unsurpassed by any other farmer in thi- seeli nos the state, lie insists that he can produr• more cotton in five y< ars by lowing wheat than to plant all his land in col ton, besides having his land in better condi tion. From 1h z Conyers Gn., Weekly. Mr. Stowll W. Christian, a young genth*- man twenty-four jearsof age, who farms on Mr. G. B.

In addition this he made f< rty bushels of corn, seventy-live bush els of oats and thirty-six bushels of wheat. All this was cultivated with one small Texas pony', with only ftv<- day’s help by one horse, This is a splendid record for the young man, and merits -Hy gives him the mtom of rt progres sive and successful young farmer.

B Clayton, Jiving a few miles from East man, heard a noise in a cam: patch, near the house, and thinking that the calf had found its way therein, she started to drive the ani mal out.

As she ap proach< d a large negro man was seen in the p. 1 h helping liim eif. Mis. Clayton called l'i h< i little son, back of the dwelling, to bring her the pistol. At this command of the brave little woman, the negro mounted (lie fence and lied for dear life, Mr.j Clayton tiring live shots at him as ho hastily retreated to the thick wood •>. The shots wore of no avail, however, but showed the colored cane thief that ho would have me t with a warm reception had lie tarried longer in the patch. From the Eaatman, Ga., Journal. Mr. John It. Giddens, of this county, tolls quite a singular instance which occurred to him a few mornings since. Mr. G. arose early, as is his custom, dressed himself, put on his hat and wont out to the well to draw u bucket, of water; returned to the house ami proceeded to make a lire pre paratory to getting I rcakfast. While Mr. G. was busy at these morning duties he thought his bat. lit him rather closely, but did not give the matter any further attention. When ho went out, however, to bathe Iris face and hands, he, laid Iris hat aside and out crawted a veimmouH looking snake, measuring thre<t feet in length. .lust how or when bis snake-hip goi into his hat Mr. Giddens docs nut know, but it was surely there.
