The Crops. ctr.

a correspondent Of the Clinton State Paper as
candidate Tor Senator for East Feliciana.
: The Crops, etc.
> Is KENTuCKY-The Kentucky Democrat OF a
recent date says:
The long drouth has proved most disastrous
to the oat crop throughout Jacksons Purchase
Many farmers will not save as much rs it took
to sow the ground
The corn crop in some places look tolerably
welt though it is very low, and unless it rains
very soon it will be too late to do any good.
The tobacco crop is cut short fully two-t thirds
admitting that it Immediately become seasona-
bic; and unless we have rain very soon there
will not be fourth Of crop made.
TENNESSEE. Tho Memphis Wing Of the l3t
says:
During the past three or four days fine show
ers of rain have fallen III the surrounding sec
} ton Of country, and yesterday genial rain
{ fell in this city and for several miles round.
Although the cotton crop is Of small growth,
the plants look exceedingly healthy and are
blooming most abundantly With u continu-
ance Of such seasonablc weather there may yet
be made a fair crop Corn is also doing much
better than it was two weeks since.
/ IL LorIslANA.-The Opelousas Wing says:
For several days we have had superabun-
|
iured materially by it, as it will cause the forms
to fall off, ami leave the plant in n condition to
be destroyed by rust when the warm sun comes
out on it.
The young cane will produce finely aud in
great abundance.
The Capitolian Eis-a-Vis Of the 18th says.
We have had an abundance of rain for the
last three weeks; it. however has been much
wanted, and its effect is shown in the beautiful
appearance Of our crops We have never seen
the cane look finer or more promising than at
the present moment
The Shreveport Democrat Of the 14th says
The corn crop Of this section will be full,
though probably not quite equal to the crop Of
last year. The constant rains for the last two
weeks, which to some extent have been hurtful
to the cotton crop, have proved beneficial to the
corn
! There is some uncertainty rs to the prospect
OF the cotton crop in this and the adjoining par
ishes. The grass worm said to be the certain
torerunner Of the caterpillar, has already made
IFS appearance ON many plantations Should
/ the planters escape this calamity there is a
prospect Of a fair average crop, but there Is no

a member of the Historical Society inspected
these records during the past summer, and
among OTHER interesting papers saw manu-
script of thirty pages, containing full ac-
count of the first General Assembly that ever
met in Virginia. Historians have hitherto
differed about the time of the assembling of
this body, and have been unable to give any
account Of its proceedings. 1t now appears,
from the examination made Of the British re-
cords, that it met in the church at Jamestown
on the 3oth OF July, 1919. A minute account
is contained in these records of IFS forms of
proceedings. its acts, and the names of the
Burgesses. There were also found letters
written from Virginia in 1885, list of the
living and the dead in 1893, and a complete
census IN 1924. As the memorial justly re-
marks, "A history of the first Legislative As

POVERTY

Shortly before the death of Martin Luther,
he thanked God that he had made him poor
man, and recommended to Divine care his
helpless family, with an expression of faith in
Providence, 80 cheerful, so firm and so cour-
sgeous, that even the most timid and distrust-
full spirit feels hopeful and valiant in reading
his words.
But there are not many poor men who can
view misfortune through the bold and radi-
ant vision of DR.. Martin Luther. Most men
see no redeeming features in the sad face of
poverty, They feel sensbly its privations
and its hulniliations. They cannot become
accustomed to the brand of inferiority,
which society stamps upon the brows of the
poor. Ii they have merit and intelligence,
they cannot understand why Others perhaps
less intelligent and less worthy, should be
clothed in purple and fine linen, and receive
the worlds reverence, while they sit at the
rich mans gate, and are scarcely deemed
worthy the companiohship of his dogs All
this, however, they could command the phi
losophy to endure, but for their children. In
children, a man renews his own life and
youth. His disappointed Hope, that has gone
forth, like the dove from the ark, but return
ed, batfied and disappointed rests at last upon
these olive branches, and gives promise of
better future. But, of all "the stings and ar
rows of outrageous fortune the most bitter
is the thought that his children, the loving,
innocent, happy beings around his freside.
must drink the same soiled and bitter cup of
poverty ard humiliation from which he has
sought in vain to escape; that they must
wear the same badge of vassalage and infe-
riority; and when he is taken away, be cast
not only upon the cold charity of the world,
but perchance become the victims of cruelty
and oppression.
But the great soul of Martin Luther look
ed upon the mystery of life with brighter and
Drawer eyes. He surveyed the world with
calmn dignity and courage and turned his
gaze upward with a confding faith, which
would not permit him to murmur, to doubt,
or to fear. Conscious of the majesty of the in
tellectual crown which the hand of heaven
had placed upon his brow, he was not capa.
BILE of covcting the ephemeral distinctions
of wealth or rank But for the stern discl-
plne Of poverty, his own great powers might
have rusted in inaction, or been converted
into engines of mischief and ruin to others
and himself. To the pride and contempt of
mankind he was sublimely Indifferent AS to
his children, he knew that it was impossible
Tor him to love or to provide for them more
tenderly and wisely than He who called them
into being. And So dying, he surrendered
his guardianship with cheerful trust, and
thanked God for that poverty which had
trained him for the arena of life, which had
compelled him to abstinence to self denial,
to exertion, and prepared him to win the
YictOrs prize and wear the immortal CROWN
