The Times was a few days ago landed a section of an old day >ook presumably used by a mer:hant in this vicinity in the year 829. The old book was found n the third story or garret of he old White house, just north >f town. Many of the pages lave rotted away during the nany years it has lain away, but i few are fairly well preserved ind the writing on these is plainy legible. Following are a few mices which the people of those lays paid for the necessities of ife: Tobacco, 20c per pound; shot L21-2c; powder. 44c; nails, i L21-2c; sugar, 131-2c; cotfee 20c;1 Depper, 37c; homespun cloth. 13 l-3c; borax, 62 l-2c; paper, per juire, 31c; whiskey, per gallon, >0c; bounce, per gallon, 75c; eali:o, 10c per yard; molasses, 75c jer gallon; tacks, 18c per pack; :otton handkerchief, 25c, camor7~ -i jnu, ojc per yarn.

It is generally conceded that the corn yield will be somewhat larger throughout the county than that of last year, but not near so large as it would have been had there been no drought early in August and the floods which destroyed the crops on lowlands in the latter part of the month, says the Yorkville correspondent of the Charlotte Observer. Several of the farmers who entered the contest for the three prizes offered by the York County Farmers' Union last spring for the largest vields from one acre of land will harvest from 75 to 115 bushels the acre, and it is likely that many who did not enter the contest will do equally as well. It is generally conceded that the acreage sown in small grain this fall and winter will be larger than in any one year during the past five or six.
