FINE WHEAT.-We have several
specimens of wheat furnished US by
Mr.. Ichabod Dean who is cultivating
the Hutchinson farm, about four miles
from the Parry Landing. 1t is the
variety known as white May wheat, and
is about four feet in height, with long
heads and plump grains. We counted
forty-nine stalks IN one cluster from
one grain of wheat, and ffty-elght
stalks in another. Mr.. Dean says he
has about eighty acres of this wheat,
and the specimens he brought in were
not selected. but present an average
of the yield. He will cut it this week,
and we hope it may rmeunerate him
with an extraordinary yield Of choice
wheat.

WHOLESALE TRADE.-There is a
much larger trade done at wholesale,
in the dry goods line. in this city, than
many persons are aware Of Those en-
terprlsing merchants, Messrs. Bloch
Bros, have been gradually building up
a wholesale trade for many years, un-
til it actually became necessary to en-
large their store-room, which they did
by buying the room adjoining, which
enabled them to classify their goods SO
as to attract the attention of country
merchants to the quantity of goods
kept in stock from which purchases
could be made without conflicting with
their retail department. BY means OF
an entrance in the center Of the par
tition wall, dealers can pass from one
department to the other without the
slightest Inconvenience. In this new
department may be found large stocks
of calicoes, domestics. aud all staple
supplies, kept well assorted by cons
slant importations. This department
is presided over by experienced clerks,
and the goods are kept strictly for the
wholesale purchaser.
This feature in our trade is worthy
of mention, and as it is not generally
known, we take pleasure in calling the
attention of buyers to this fact that
they can procure goods in any quantity,
of the best brands, at prices that will
Justify them in patronizing our home
merchants.

Your ATTENTION There is GER
tain class in this community, and IN

we desire to make an earnest appeal

With these preliminary remarks we
proceed to tell our tale of woe. -
We have quite large number of ac-

A Gloomy Grain Prospect.

The recent increase in the volume of
grain shipped from this city is alto
gether due to a decline in freights,
there being no material improvement
in the tone of the markets on the
other side of the Atlantic. The feel
ing there is represented to be as blue
as ever. Several severe losses have
ensued to holders of grain there, and
operators seem afraid to touch it ex-
cept merely to pass it along. They do
not want to hold any stocks even for L
day, and the demand is therefore of
the hand-to- mouth character, which
makes the available supply seem much
larger than it is, by keeping much
greater proportion of it than usual in
or near the hands of the producers.
Yet, with all their caution, the impor-
tiers of grain are losing. News was
received here yesterday of the failure
of large grain importing house in
Scotland, and that fact had something
to do with the weakness exhibited in
wheat and corn. The news of fine
crop prospects in Europe tends to
weaken prices there, and the down
ward tendency is helped by the news
of greater shipments from the United
States, as former low prices were
based upon the assumed fact that but
little was wanted there. This feature
of the market increases the difficulty
of moving out our large stocks, and
makes the future of the shipping bus
mess still more of an enigma.-Cht-
cego Tribune.

The Jackson Dispatch suggests that
a day of thanksgiving be observed by
our people generally as token of their
gratitude to God, for the abundant
crops now beginning to be harvested.
1t says:
How thankful we should feel for
the present bright prospect of future
prosperity. 1t seems that God has
taken especially into his own hands
the agricultural interests of this coun-
try. Wo have not suffered for drop
of rain, nor have we had drop too
much, and the weather has been par
ticularly favorable, especially for corn.
We know it is customary for people to
offer up prayers for deliverance from
scourges and every impending danger,
aud as soon as the danger is past, they
seem to forget that it is their duty to
offer thanks. Now it seems TO us that
we could not better spend day as a
people than returning thanks from the
depths of earnest hearts to the Source
of all our blessings"

DIED, in this city, on the 3lst ult.,
Mrs. SARAH ELLIOTT. wife of Major
David Elliott. aged IS years.
She was born in ireland, in the year
1871, and came to Pennsylvania when
six years old. She resided there until
1915, when she was married and moved
to Montgomery county, Tenn. She
reared a number of children, several
of whom survive her and reside in this
city. She was an intelligent, christian
lady, and was an ornament to the
Methodist church, of which she had
long been member. The scriptural
phrase, A." she eateth not the bread of
idleness." was truly applicable in her
case. Industry. anda constant desire
to do good were marked traits in her
character. May her surviving children
and friends be prepared to meet her in
heaven, for she is there.

New Orleans has horror that is
without parallel and seems TO be well
authenticated. 1t seems that Ten
nessee negro named George Brooks,
aged nineteen years, died of smallpox
at the hospital. At least, he died to
allintents and purposes, and the doctor
certified that he was dead. The body
was placed in rough coffin, which was
put on a wagon and started for the
potter's field. On the way the negro
revived, pushed up the lid and tried to
get out, as several persons living on the
road testify. The driver, however,
thought he ought to be dead at least
and after stopping long enough on the
way to put an extra nail or two in the
lid made haste for the graveyard. 1t
was even reported that the driver
struck the man with a brick and told
him he had to be buried anyhow ac-
cording to the doctors certificate.
Several witnesses said they saw the
body move and the hands working at
the lid. Anyhow, the burial went on.
The driver has been arrested.-Nem-
phis Ledger.

WE have been requested several
times to speak of the Dissertation Of
the Sabbath which is INDUCED in by
number of the young people in our
city, on the base ball hill. 1t seems
that = large crowd assemblies there
every Sunday evening, and engage in
playing base ball, and expand their
lungs to such. al extent. as to be
heard by the entire neighborhood.
There is law prohibiting any desc
Grafton Of the Sabbath, but it does
appear to us that young gentlemen
should desist from such practices upon
the score of morality and due OBJ
servance of the Sabbath day. Many,
doubtless, engage in this kind Of Sab
bath breaking without thinking of
its effect upon themselves or those
younger - others go there against
parental advice, and to such this
gentle hint may serve to let heads
of families know how some of the
children spend their Sunday evenings.
Our objectin penning these lines is not
intended so much asa reprimand, as to
bring about reflection upon the part of
those who indulge in such things, be-
lieving that upon reflection they will
cease to do evil and learn to do good.

WE had a severe gale of wind and
a heavy fall of rain last Monday even
ing. We hear Of no particular dam
age by the wind. An Observant gen.
tleman informs us that the current of
wind was too high to effect the wheat.
Another storm of wind and rain
occurred here last Wednesday between
II o'clock a. m, and 2 p. m. Many
shade trees were blown down and
otherwise injured around the city.
Madison street was completely carpet
ed with leaves and twigs. Garden corn
was blown down and badly tangled.
The roof on the Cumberland Tobac-
co Warehouse, was blown off and the
attaches of the house were, for awhile,
exposed to the falling rain. The tin
roofing on the rear end of the Baptist
Church was taken up and rolled to-
gether, but has since been replaced.
Since penning the above, our friend,
T. d. Leonard, Esq, reports that he
was on his way home. during this storm,
from Barker's mill, and found great
deal of timber blown across the road,
whole strings of fencing swept away,
and one or two houses in the suburbs of
New Providence blown down. On his
arrival at home he found that he was
also a great sufferer from the storm.
His large, we'll built tobacco barn was
completely scattered to the winds, a
large number of choice fruit trees
broken down and ruined, his wheat
and rye badly damaged, and his fenc-
ing thrown to the ground. Thus, in a
short time, much of his hard labor is
brought to naught, entailing upon him
heavy loss, at a time, too, when he is
illy able to meet it. Mr.. Leonard is
not the man to cry over split milk.
but will go to work in earnest to repair
his loss. We assure him that he has
the sympathy of our citizens, q major
ity of whom will be sorry that they
cannot offer anything more sabstap-
tial.
Yesterday we had another hard rain
lasting about an hour, and as we go
to press we learn that lightning struck
the spire on the Methodist Church,
da maging it slightly.

THEY have what is termed {" tor

grabbed hold of by thief that it ex-

The families in this city who are using

it will soon do work sufficient to pay
for itself-besides it keeps up much

ESTHER, THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN


Seager's Oratorio, Esther, was pro-
duced for the first time in this city on
last Wednesday night. by a company
OF amateur singers of Nashville and
Edgefeld. 1t had q fine reputation as
rendered by these ladies and gentle
men, and fully met public expectation.
There were about sixty ladies and gen.
tlemen who took part in this beautiful
contata. They were costumed elegant
ly and all knew and sustained their
parts admirably. The universal opin-
ion, SO far as we have heard an ex-
preston, is that it was the best thing
of the kind ever produced before q
GAINESVILLE audience. This opinion,
we can ASSURE our Nashville and Edge
field friends, is worth something, be-
cause our very best and most accom-
plished people. ladies and gentlemen.
were present. Indeed we do not re-
member ever to have seen SO many of
the very best of our society gathered
together on one occasion.
We have no criticism to make upon
the music or those who took part in
it. They all did well. If we had to
say which of the ladies sang best, ac-
cording to our judgment, we would say
that Miss Bette Scovel of Nashville,
excelled. Her voice is sweet, and at
once arrests the attention of a popular
audience. She was the favorite SO far
as we can learn.
The Queen, Mrs. Green. did her
part well, and is lady of great digDi-
ty and rare accomplishments.
The King, Prof. Baily. is an accom-
plished musician and we hear every
one speak in terms Of praise of the
part he played.
Mr.. Brown, who personated Haman,
was one of the most serious and earn
est of the party. A better person for
his place could not have been found,
and the audience deeply sympathized
with him when he was led out to be
hung. But as he appeared on the
streets the next day, looking as good as
new, we are sure he will again enjoy
the Kings confidence.
Mr.. Jesse French, who appeared in
the character of Mordacai, is remem-
bered by our citizens for the part he
took in our Old Folks concert last
year. He did not look like Jew, but
he acted the Jew to the life. He has
a splendid voice and sings, according
to our liking, finely.
During the performance, between
two acts, Mrs. Maud Smith, of Nash
vile, sang two songs, and was loudly
applauded and received a perfect show
er of boquets.
This is no professional company, but
it is made up of accomplished ladies
and gentlemen who are themselves
perfectly independent, and only agree
to take part in this concert for their
own enjoyment and to serve the chari-
table purpose of aiding the financial
condition of two Churches, one at
GAINESVILLE and one at Edgefeld. In
a financial view, it was a success, as it
was in every other way.
Success TO those ladies and gentle
men wherever they may go.
