The brownsville States threaten

The JOnesboro Flag, speaking Of the
crops IN Washington county, says: The

freezes last winter, wheat is very thin

grain right and left. The oat crop looks
well Corn, also, is growing finely, and
should the season be as favOrably in the
future as in the past, our crops will yield
ab1ndantly.
From Major J. J. Smith, of Obion, we
learn, says the Mckenzie Times, the
following particulars in regard to the
killing Of young Turner BOudinot, OF
that county, by Wash Jones, a negro
II appears that the negro, from some
cause, bad had a grudge against Boudi-
not, and procured shotgun and waylaid
him as he was passing along the road,
and shot him--the charge taking effect
in his back. He fingered in great agony
until the next evening, when he expired.
Jones was arrested. and a preliminary
trial was had, when he was committed

The Chattanooga Times is authority
f0r the statement that the new school
law has been very favOrably criticised
IN all parts of the country. Most Of the
educational journals have commended
the general features of our system, and
IN some instances its simplicity of ma
chlnery has been favOTably compared
with the more complex systems of
States that have had the advantage of
many years experience. All seem TO
agree that our law contains the elements
necessary to profitable operations, and
that It only requires TO be sustained by a
proper effort on the part of the people
20 develop into successful system.
The JOnesbOro Flag and Advertiser
says: 1--WE never, in the whole course
OF our lives, saw our people so fighting
mad as they are noW-the cause of their
ruffied temper being the infamous assess
ment law hurled upon them by the late
shacknasty legislature. They are mad
by platOOns and companies, by regi-
ments and divisions. In fact, the whole
army OF oppressed taxpayers are freely
expressing themselves as willing to re-
sist the nefarious law to the bitter end

nor the Republicans; all political par
ties condemn il alike, and are crying
out in one common voice, Down with
the concern that conceived and brought
forth the iniquityu We are likely to
have some fun before the taxes are
gathered, to say the least Of it.n
A letter from Liberty to the the Gal
latin Examiner says: "There has been
50 much rain that the farmers could do
nothing ia the way OF plOwing, and but
little at anything else. Those that had
not burned off their new grounds, could
not on account of the rain. Those that
had tobacco plants large enough to set
out could not prepare their ground.
Those that were not done planting corn
could not finish. Those that were done
planting, and needed to plOw and re-
plant, could do nothing. So, upon the
whole, we are getting very much be-
hind with our corn crop. Corn has, as
a general thing, come up well. The
cut-wOrm is doing considerable damage,
not only to young corn, but to cabbage
plants and pOtatO-slips, bean-vines, etc.
Wheat what little was seeded can't
make more than half a crop. Oats look
very promising. TObacoO-plants, cab
bage-plants and pOtato-slips plenty. We
have had no rain for three days, and the
ground is how getting in working order
once more, and j can tell you that we
are trying to improve time in its flight
at least one would think there was
some plOwiug going on if he would Just
stop and listen for a short time at the
"whOa-gee-hau" that is going on in
every direction. With favorable seasons
from this on we hope to make good
crops Of oats, corn, tobacco, etc. Some
of our more Dutch neighbOrs say we
will have a good white oak mast this
year, as it didn't rain on the first day
of June. Fruit all killed by the April
frost.
