Show us the parries, bring your proof, they say, and the offenders thall be punished.

Theseoutrages are of almost daily occurrence in some part of this county and in fact iD every county in the State. Day by day, the country is becoming more impoverished, and I see no hope of amendment.We are suffering here from drouth. No rain has fallen for more than a month.— Wheat wis nearly ao entire failure. Corn will be short and so will tobacco. Meadows were thin Rye good, oats bad. We are getting along as well as onr neighbors. I lost 16 acres of wheatthisyear bv thechiotz bugs and my corn is mncb injured by them, i My tobacco in doing well. We have to hire our help*. Negroes cannot be had. They own their masters now.
