0BI0N COUNTY.
CROPS and Politics.
To the Union and American:

To the Union and American:
OBIoN COUNTY, Jan. 23.-Our farm
ers complain very much of "hard
times" and scarcity Of money. Many
planted largely of tobacco, and the
price of that staple being now so low
they seem 10th to sell, and yet pressing
demands meet them at every turn,
while the unrelenting tax collector Is
busy making his calls. In some sec
lions of the county the corn crop was
a fair yield, and prices are ranging
good; say IS to 75c, per bushel. On
the whole, the outlook for our farmers
is not very flattering, unless relief is
found IN heavy wheat crop. The
acreage sown this season Is quite large,
and the prospect, at present, Is very
fiattering indeed for q fine wheat crop.
In spite of the hard times" however,
there are plenty of patriots, in the
shape OF
CANDIDATES,
ready to serve the dear good people in
any capacity; and though the election
is several months in the future, we
meet the would-be servant of the peO-
pie ut every corner, and you get tired
shaking hands with the patriot. Alto
gether, the prospect now bids fair for
a regular scrub race for county Offices.
Political matters seem to be ut n low
ebb among our people. They all seem
to consider that they have but little or
no interest in affairs at Washington,
and don't get to ride in any 81 900 car
riages. So they seem not to care n
continental nickle how the machine
runs so it keeps on the track. This in
difference, however, is greatly
To BE DEPLORED,
for if we would have matters straight
ened and the good old time Of Demo-
cratic rule restored, We should every
man of US, turn out and let our united
voices and votes be heard and felt in
national politics.
Congressional aspirants are also as
thick as blackberries in June. and quite
a number seem willing to take in the
pitiful sum of six thousand dollars and
mileage, and serve their country be-
sides. / have heard that this county
Will be apt to go largely for Hon. w.
P. Caldwell, of Weakley county. He
is a sOn-in-law Of Hon. JnO. A. Gard
ner. Mr.. Caldwell made the race IN
1867 against the Radical Hawkins, but,
of course, boyOnets triumphed, and he
was defeated. OCCASIONAL.

UNITED STATES Collector Harper,
who defaulted sometime since for sixty
thousand dollars, has returned to his
home in FL PasO, Illinois. For some
months past he has been recuperating
IN Canada, a fayorite resort for states
men in delicate health. II is said,
however, that he regularly retained the
Washington authorities as his physi-
clan, and as soon as informed by them
that it would be safe, he started at
once for home to assist in making
scapegoats of one or two poor clerks
who were privy to his Kembleish oper-
atoms.

GOLD IRONsTDEs, officially known
as the frigate Constitution, was placed
in dock at the Philadelphia navy yard
on the 18th inst, with a view to being
reftted on her original model. as a me-
mentO Of the early glOries Of the Ameri-
can navy. Thisfamous vessel was de-
signed and modelled IN 1889. The ap-
preparation from the Government not
being sufficient to complete the work.
some Boston ladies determined to raise
the money needed for the purpose. This
they accomplished; and the frigate was
finished and equipped by Mr.. HART.
Her first cruise took place in 1913. Mr..
Hartt's grandson, the naval con-
struetOr, IS now to rebuild the historic

Not If the Court Knows Herself.

A well known lawyer who was making
an argument in a case before the Supreme
Court yesterday, had before him a record
which looked very much as if it would
cover 100 pages Of manuscript. In the
course of his argument he said he would
not take up the time Of the court in going
through the entire transcript, which remark
must have been very gratifying TO the
court Just then, for it was near about the
hour Of adjournment, and if that lawyer
had followed those pages IN regular order,
next week would have found him Studious-
IL engaged in turning over the leaves OF
that little book.
