i i- Op motion of Dr. G. S. Attmore grain and pretty fair yield. This bids fair to be the best peach year ever experienced in Lenoir.

The trees are loaded down. Crops are beginning to look first-rate. The recent rains and warm weather have given them a start at last. Georsre F. Parrott, near Falling Creek, has a splendid crop of corn and cotton.

His is one of the finest farms in Lenoir. Republican politics are quiet enough. W. A. Coleman is looking out for a "Judgeship." He has been in the judicial business 60 long that "Mr.

Probate Judge" will sit easy on him. Bruton Taylor thinks there is no doubt that "another sack of flour is in waiting for him in the Register's office; and Kins. Davis would be terribly surprised to find any one bothering after the Sheriff's place. Something must be the with the Lousin swamp farms; In riding over the farm of Lewis Parrot (whom the Journal used to tell about last year as the leading farmer in that sectiou) I looked in vain for pretty cotton. His crop actually looks nearly as bad as Thad.

A skew's (reported in last week's Journal), and I fear that Dr. Kainit has failed to do Lewis any good. We must revive the "Lousin Swamp Agricultural Club;" get Lem. Mewborne to tell what he knows about fishing; Askew to tell of "Mr. Lark," and R.

W. Pope to tell us "what have we met here for," and, if everything else fails, get L. A. Mewborne, and Wm. Worth to tell "how to make the farm pay." Maysville Items.

The corn crop on White Oak is looking well but cotton not so good. Mr. J. E. Hay has a Turkey up fattening for the Masonic celebration.

John Collins, has the finest young horse there is in the county. F. Mattocks some time ago caught an owl and an eel on a hook at one time. The people on White Oak anticipate a nice time at the celebration; it will be on Mill Creek near Polloksville. Oregon Mills Items.

The tanners are putting out more sweet potato sprouts than usual. Trucking is about over; we have shipped this season 1,019 barrels of Irish potatoes. The schooner J. W. Huihj sailed on the 16th for Philadelphia loaded with lumber shipped by Springer Bro.

Messrs. S. W. and E. D.

Springer will close their saw mill in a week or two to spend the summer North at their old home. New KntoriirlHo, It always affords us pleasure to chron icle new enterprises in our midst. The latest in this line is extensive iron furnaces or smelting works to be located on the banks of the Neuse near this city, by a company composed of Gen. Hoke, Hon. R.

R. Bridgers and others, now operating a valuable iron Jmine near Chapel Hill, from whence the iron ore is to be brought here. Hoke has recently, in company withl our townsman W. F. Kornegay, made a trip up the river and was highly pleased with his visit, and we are assured that its lo- object is to be convenient to a plentiful supply of firewood and charcoal, and if need be to utilize river navigation.

Messenger. New Boat. A number of our leading business men have requested us to call a meeting of the merchants and cotton buyers of Goldsboro to be held in the vestibule of the Opera House this (Monday) evening at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of taking the necessary steps towards organizing a steamboat company, to place one or more light draught steamers on the Neuse between Smithfleld and New Bei ne. This is a matter of considerable importance to the business interests of this city, and we hope to see a large attendance of all who have the good and welfare of Goldsboro at heart. Golds-boro Messenger.
