Small Crop.
To give our readers an idea of the
wheat crop this year, Messrs. Morrison
and Taylor, of Trenton, threshed’ this
season from 596 acres of land only 1740
bushels of wheat. The same acreage
last year produced about 10;000 bushels.
This it is seed that the wheat crop in
this county was unusually small. A
great many farmers did not cut tlieS'r
wheat as it was worthless.

Picnic at Byrd’s Chapel.
As war? announced last week the pic
nic at Byrd’s Chapel came off Saturday,
tlnfortunately we did not witness the
morning exercises, but were informed
they had a “glorious time.” Speeches
were made by Rev. C. D. MeTcer, Prof.
J. M. Miller, Wesley Thurman, J. B.
Perkins, H. K. Allison, J. P. Jaceway
and Thos. Payne. The speech of Mr.
Perkins was highly spoken of as the best
effort of his life. We did not have the
pleasure hearing any of them. The din
ner Was a grand affair. The long table
fairly groaned with the good things the
people had prepared. After dinner the
“horribles” made a parade, and were
greeted with shouts of laughter. Sing
ing was conducted by Mr. Smith, Who
thoroughly understands vocal music.
Of course the picnic was a grand success;
reflects credit on the hospitality and en
terprise of the good people in that neigh
borhood. We regret that our space pre
vents a more extended notice.

Tite Convention.
The boh'vehtnn which assembled in
Trenton last Tuesday for the purpose of
selecting delegates to attend the congress
ional convention at Rome, ot the 18th
fast., to nominate a candidate for con-,
gress, was, we are glad to state, largely
attended by the citizens of Dade. This
is encouraging, as it shows that our citi
eensmre aroused to the duties and respon
sibilities of the hour. The meeting was
harmonious throughout, and considera
ble enthusiasm manifested. Col. J. W.
Cureton addressed the meeting in a tell
ing speech. He reviewed the national
situation, touched on the finances, paid
R glowing tribute to Hancock, said the
ticket would win and took his seat amid
thundering applause. Mr. Mitch Pope
was called on, and addressed the meet
ing in a plain, logical, and sensible
speech. He ia an aamy speaker, jraeehil
to a fault, and his speech was highly
spoken of by all present. In fact, after
the meeting adjourned we heard one cit
izen remark that he was for Pope for
representative “first, last, and all the
time.”
Wc are glad that the people manifest
an interest iu these meetings. They are
certainly bcueficial in many respects.
The convention selected good men to
represent us at Rome—men who will act
to the best fateiTest'fi of the county.
