The exports for the week ending this
evening reach a total of 3 632 bales of
which 1852 bales were to Great Britain
anu 10Y naies to the continent, while the
stocks al ali the ports as made up this eve
ming are now II, 1853 bales,
From the foregoing statement it will be
eeen that, compared with the corresponding
week OF last season, there is an increase in
the exports this week of 3,6O1 bales. while
inc STOCKS onight are 1922 bales less
'nan they were at this time year ago"
Concerning the growing crop, the same
journal says:
we have received reports the past
week from almost every section of the
cotton-growing States. Taken together
they may be said to fully confirm the "a
vora6le accounts We have heretofore pub.
llshed, furnishing as they do excellen.
promise Of yield considerably in excess
OF the season just closing. At the same
time there are increasing evidences of the
appearance OF the caterpillar throughout
large portion of the South; but we have
been unable to learn that any decided
damage has as yet been done by them.
The strong, healthy, woody condition
OF the plant has thus far held them 10
check, and, as we have frequently ex-
planned In this report, unless we have wet
weather little injury from them need be
feared. In some sections, also, where the
land ht Q been highly MANFRED, we continue
to receive reports of blight, the result Of
long-continued drought. The districts 80
affected are, hoover, limited in extent, and
IN the principal ones further injury has
been prevented by timely showers.
much has been said with regard to the
picking capacity Of the South. We took
occasion early in the season to show that
Its extent depended as much upon the de
velopment OF the plant as upon the num-
Der of laborers. We then stated that prob
ably four million bales could be as easily
and quickly picked, If it opened evenly,
as three million bales of it itopened ttcltter.
ing The present healthy development o.
the plant is, therefore, of very great i'm,
Portance. as affecting the total yield. So, too
the high prices ruling will increase the
picking power of the South, as they will
enable the planter 10 give fabulous wages
during that period, thus tempting even the
LATEST man, woman or child into the
fields, although during the previous por,
ton Of the season they may have refused
to work. One other consideration on this
point is also important, and that is that
picking has begun as early as last summer
the time lost through the wet, cold weather
in the fore part of the year having
been made good. We thus see that thl
season for the ingathering of the crop be
gins under circumstances of great promise
the plant is well developed and healthy; i
is as early as last year; and prices are &C
high that without doubt all the labor o
the South will be drawn into the fields

The numerous customers of Craighead,
Breast & Gibson, would hardly have sup
posed that in the short space of time
which has elapsed since the fire which
burnt them out lock, stock and barrel,
they could have recovered 30 soon from
the shock. But such is the fact, and we
chronicle this enterprise on the part of the
firm with pleasure. Before the fire was
fully extinguished, they had rented the
house on North Market street, few doors
below the Square, and were engaged in
fitting it up for their business. And now
we find them fully prepared for the fall
trade, with one of the largest stocks
ever brought TO this market which
is entirely new from beginning to
end. Their cutlery department embraces
the well-known brands OF Wostenholm,
Rogers and Ward, together with full line
Of a new make Of American cutlery, equal
TO any imported. 10 table cutlery, the
stock is also large and complete. They
have also Just opened full line Of carpen-
tiers Tools and building hardware, EN-.
bracing every article in that department.
On the frat floor in the rear of their build
ing, we notice an immense stock of heavy
hardware, consisting Of horse-shoes, nails
shoVels, etc, etc. One attractive feature in
their stock is the line of guns and pistols.
The firm are agents for Fairbanks scales
and Seth Thomas clocks, and have large
and full variety of both articles; and have
received also, in addition to others, large
stock of Craighead, Breast & Gibson's cele.
brated brand Of axes. 10 regard 10 s1eu
we may also mention that, early in Septem-
Der, they will have an axe-handle lathe in
successful operation, the only one south Of
the Ohio river. Our timber is admirably
suited for the purpose, and large trade in
this ne may be expected. We shouldnot
forget TO mention that they have in store
Mcneil & Urban's combination lock ssfes'
made TO order for the firm.
We will add that the sample room ia
taslily laid of, and country merchants will
have no trouble in making their selections
As above remarked, the goods are en-
tirely new, and owing 10 the great conpe.
tition in the freight lines East, they have
been enabled to get their stock through at
about one-half the usual rates.
The firm will occupy their present loca-
ton until November next, when they will
again remove TO their old stand in the
Hicks block. In conclusion, we will just
say that they are fully prepared for their
customers, and will be glad to wait on all
who may come this way.

An inquest held at the Workhouse
yesterday morning over the body Of Mrs.
German, resulted in the verdict that the
unfortunate woman came TO her death 10
consequence of inebriation and exposure.
Mrs. German left the house Of her daus hter-
in-law shortly alter noon Monday, while
in an intoxicating conditioniand FIVE hours
afterwards was found by a policeman
sleeping out of doors and exposed 10 the
baking rays of the sun. She was taken 10
the Workhouse and imprisoned, where she
died some time in the night. The first that
was known Of her death was the discovery
of her dead body, Whether or not it was
convenient for this woman upon whom
death came in such sad and sudden way to
have been conveyed to her home instead
of being taken 10 the Workhouse, We do
not know, but il was at least possible for
her to have been properly cared for and
provided with medical attention al the
prison TO which she was taken. The citi-
zsns Of Nashville are humanity disposed
people, and as such unwilling that unfor
tunate men and women who are thrown
into their prisons should be treated as i
they were beasts instead Of human crea
tures. 1t is TO be hoped that the proper
authorities will give this particular cas-
the attention it seems to demand.

OBITUARY..

In memory of our dearly beloved brother,
Milton Mcclure, who was born March 9,
1911, profsssed religion in 1888, and was
shortly after elected ruling elder in the
Cornersville congregation of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church, in which he
lived an exemplary and devoted friend Of
Of the Saviour, and in which he died,
after a protracted illness of near three
months, July 10, 1869. He bore his
affections without a murmur-never was
heard to complimentary expressed
himself as ready and willing to obey the
summons when the Master should call.
When Intercepted as to his prospects by
the writer, he repeatedly assured him he
trusted alone in the plan of salvation, and
had long since made his arrangements for
the change. He left weeping and dis
consulate family TO mourn his loss.

A little con of our well known citizen
10 Ryan, fell in kettle of hot water on
Monday evening last on Cherry street
South Nashville, and was badly scalded.
He was only about six years of age, and
is said to be in a critical condition.
