Mn Kiuroit; In making my ticbttt il) your columns, a .short, formal introduc tion will not be out of place. You will timi ino dittbront from most correspon dents, and other people. This is of course, mainly, because I know more than others. This is evident from tho fact, first, that I often report items that no one else bas 0VO1' beard of. Of course [ ant not rosponslbto for otjior people's want of information. Secondly, my stylo is dilleront from tithers, and again Ol*course, this can Ollly bo because it is better. Third, my predict ?ens and prophecies will often appear to others as vagaries. Thus it is always with genius. And fourthly, my suggestions and recommendations arc? seldom hoed? ed, because progress is al ways slow, and great men are always found ahead of the times. Hut enough of this. I paid a short visit yesterday to Nash ville. Not the great big, nasty Nashville away over In Tennessee; but the clean, healthy, thriving Nashville in the South western part ol' our own county. I had not been in that section before in several years, and I found that in thc meantime a great many changes and hnyrovo monts had taken place; but sotuo of tho changos are too old to be reported as items of new s at present, and 1 cannot particularise. Twill, however, say thai I wish WO had ?Wi.s A c.s enough to estab lish such i ?/fctall over tho county. Ami I will say that I saw where TANDY BAnu had planted twenty acres of corn In tho woods from which ho had gath ered two hundred bushels. And there aro pine trocs enough now standing on the land to make twenty depots, and hoard timber enough to cover them withal. Hut still, you may tell the boys that If TANDY comes down and wants to buy anything on erodlt to just lot .him have it. It will all he right. And Jim Adams the same one what has a hov namVd Dunk he.that ls, Jim, is going to have an old fashioned llOg killing some of these ?lays, "wouldn't I like to catch him" at it. "GUSS" MoCarloy has been quito sick for two or three weeks, but is now ?in proving. The Oroonvillo Weekly yews of tho loth did not roach me till the 16th. I do wonder where it liad been? 1 have not done much about this mail business yet. but I am going to play tho mischief "in a few days." CKNTK1WI L L K. II A XS YON SM ASM. I>r. J. It.

Tho fanners are taking advantage of tho good weather for tho past week, and are putting in oats and wheat.
