pmnidof grain of any kind.
: Therprincipal grain It Egyptian corn,
which yields atiundAirily, making from
60 to?!flO hnabels per a4re on Irriguted
land. There is not aj acre of vinett,
fruit, alfalfa or any ptfcer crop (except
wheat) but what U Irrigated; and witli
outflrrigutlou this entire county, for
wo hundred miles,-from Lathrop to
Bar.erfleld, would tie nothing but a
barren desert, ; ' "'

at all the depots on the railroad, at HO

WubciIs) are si'llinif' here at 2 cenlH
pvr lb. and are boxed or sacked ana
delivered at 3 cento per lb. Any well
cultivated vineyardi five years old,
will yield from ten twenty Ions of
iTaisin grapes per aora, but it requires
the lalrer of one man all the year to
cultivate leu acres, and then lie uiu.-t

Farming land, unimproved, brings
from $30 to $00 per acre. Vineyards,
orchards and all well improved ranches
are worth from $100 to $500 per acre.
Very few farmers own more than forty
acres, and the most of them twenty
acres or less.
Public schools have reached us high
a standard, and have us much system
here, perhaps, as anywhere in the
United Hiatus. All nli,w,U In tl.l
county begin on the same day of tlie
snme month, and all of (hem continue
36 weeks in tlie year. Teachers get
better pay than In most of the stales,
but it is moredifficnlt to get certificates
here than In most states.
Tlie great misfortune of this county
If, that a large majority of the people
are hopelessly in debt; it is said that
two-thirds of all the farms are mort
gaged for all they will bring. Interest
is high; "money tight" uiirl "hard
times," Is the doleful sound Hint greets
our ears.
There is Utile or no ruin in this great

Dame fiumor makes a very poor
Bccond when she has to compete with
the average Tennesseean; for he can
scent a wedding further than she dare
try. If any doubt it, let him try to

A numerous assortment of horns, bells,
cans, etc., are kept constantly 011 hand
and will be used at the slightest provo

lately enlivened the district at

those most concerned. Let the good
work go on.
