The outlook in Crockett county, so far.
IS more favorable than for several wears
past, and if no reverses come it will be de-
eldedly prosperous year in many respects.
Lexington Reporter.
The fruit is very much injured. Those
who have examined, say peaches are all
killed, but some apples and plums remain.
Ihe wheat has not been injured, unless the
growth is checked by being chilled.
/ Jonesboro Herald and Tribune.
Fruit Of all kinds has been anipped in
the bud" Early vegetables have been bad
/ ly damaged, and it IS feared bv mauv of
the farmers from the country that the grow
ing wheat crop is seriously damaged.
Humboldt Herald.
In Gibson county the frost did consider
able damage, especially to fruit. At Gads-
den, which is the largest fruit growing
country in West Tennessee, we learu thai
peaches, Plums, berries, etc, are killed.
Dover Record.
The wheat has been damaged very little.
1t is so little that no loss is anticipated by
it. The frost killed cur fruit too dead to
talk about. We learn upon close in
quiry that the frost damaged but very few
tobacco plant beds.
SOmervIlle Falcon.
The heavy frost played havoc with "gar-
den sass" Potatoes, beans, tomatoes, in
fact everything that was above ground was
destroyed. The prospect for an abundant
crop OF fruit was never better, now it is
feared that it is all killed.
WaynesbOro Citizen.
1t is very much feared that the wheat
crop is seriously injured. There was not
great deal Of early wheat in Wayne counly, /
and the other varieties were in no danger. /
The peaches and apples were frozen and
killed very dead. Early vegetables Jared
as badly.
Chattanooga Commercial.
In Sequachee Valley the peach crop will |

fruit was not so extensive as at first be- |
leVed, the peaches having suffered to the |
extent Of the destruction or about half !
the apples not being much hurt
Brownsville Bee.
Considerable damage was done to Young /
vegetation, and on the north side Of Hatchie /
river most Of the peaches and pears are
killed; apples and cherries are unhurt. We Il
are gratitied 20 learn that the wheat crop
escaped damage. We hear no complaints
OF injury TO anything south Of Hatchie.
WsTeriy Journal.
The cold snap played sad havoc with the
fruit prospect, land did more or less
damage TO the wheat, a large portion
Of which had begun shooting. From every
portion Of Humphreys county we are ad-
vised Of the total destruction Of the frui
and that vegetation of every species in The
gardens shared the same fate. In some
localities many farmers had corn up; this
too was destroyed.
Carksyille Chronicle.
The fruit crop may be set down as a to-
tai loss. Wheat that was iointed is. Of
course, injured; but, fortunately, a small |
Of the crop had reached that ad-
ganced stage. Tobacco plants are very
slightly injured, and as a broader area was
seeded than, perhaps, ever before, there is
no apprehension Of a scarcity, though the |
effect will be TO keep back the planting to
later date than was anticipated.
Paris IntelEgeucer.
Very little damage has been done to the
wheat crop, although much Of it was yery
Orward. The tobacco plants in some |
localities are considerably injured, and in |
others not at all, and there will be plants
enough to meet the demand. The pros
Dect for herds-graSS and timothy is very
5OOd, and large acreage has been sOwn-I
much larger than usual. Corn planting is
proceeding gaily.
