While some are done plant ing cotton many say they will not finish till next week. The upland corn has generally been planted and some of it is up and is being worked. The bottom lards have not been planted yet, except in a few instances. Wheat is still booming and prospects indicate a big crop. The oat crop will be short, as much of the winter crop was killed. Fruit is showing up better than for years and if no disaster befalls it the supply will be bountiful. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. I’eoplv You Know itntl t’0O|>l» Yon Don't Know. Robt. H.

One day last week Uncle “Davy” Crockett, a harmless, bard-work- log old man, supposed to be about seventy years old, died in this city. There was little difference in Davy and other good old darkies, except Davy imagined that he “was a leetle more nor 1 100 years old;” that he had been a commander of great armies; that he was with Washing ton in the revolution in all of his principle battles and ulso that he “fit” at King’s Mountain and Cow- pens. And what was surprising he would give an account of any of the battles that he said he was engaged in that tallied pretty well with ac counts given in history—all this without knowing a letter in the book. Davy also imagined that he was very wealthy and would point out many handsome residences in the city as his property and speak of fine farms in the county as belonging to him, and the owners of the farms as his tenants. He was always harm less and di*d without an enemy. Met of Cherokee Democ-ratii. Cherokee County Democratic Con vention met yesterday in the court house. Chairman Ed. II.
