All Have Their Troubles.

From the most recent copies of the McMinnvill.e, Tenn., New Era and the Manchester, Tenn., Times, shown us by Rev. Peter Hinds, it is evident from the correspondence from many quarters, that farmers there have the same troubles with the weather as here. Rain, hail, frost and high water has done much damage. Wheat, which is the principal crop, is hurt a good deal, while the fruit seems to be used up entirely. That section of country is a long way from the markets too, so that, taking it for all in all, it is hard to see wherein the farmers of Jasper county can better themselves by going there.
