spots visited on Sunday last, when
the mercury in the thermometer

through the Notch at noon Of the day
mentioned, and ten feet from the
roadway, where the mercury marked
1902, three Poughkeepsians stood in
little group in rocky chasm where
it was so cold that the breath of all
became frosted, and a chunk of ice as
big as an ordinary hat was Clipped
from the main boulder Of ice in the
chasm. This in July is extraordinary,

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE fol-
lowing is furnished by the Agriculture
al Department:
Cotton in the frst week of July is
in condition of healthy growth, less
forward than in July Of last year, well
cultivated, and reasonably clear of
grass, During the last half of June its
growth was rapid, and blooms were
freely reported in the more southern
belt. No reports of drought are re-
ceived. Rains have been frequent,
and in large area in excess CT the
requirments for the highest condition.
In rainy districts the uplands and san
dy lands give better promise than the
bottoms. In South Carolina and in
Florida storms were especially severe
between June II and Is, in.some dis
tricts seven days of continuous rains.
In comparison with last year North
Carolina, Georgia and Texas report a
higher condition; all the other States
lower figures tnan in July of 1875.
The general average in 1875 slightly
exceeded one hundred, the present av-
erage condition is 97.6 The unit of
com parison being a normal growth and
unimpaired vitality. In comparison
with the report of June the States
that have madeimprovementar are North
Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and
Tennessee. Georgia has held the high
condition of last month. South Car,
DINA has declined from SO to 80 in

The Baptists of South Carolina
have subscribed about $4,000 to en-

The first Baptist preacher who is
certainly known to have come to Vir-

nearly six million dollars.
A communication sixty feet long,
signed by 5000 ladies of New York,

the past twenty seven years has gone

was pronounced a memberof the male
sex. The quartette of medical ex-

discovered that the dusky Thompson's

deformity served as an excuse for the

der imposed a fine Of $50 upon the
prisoner. Not being able to pay the
fine, q lot of male toggery was put
upon the impeeuniOus Thompson, and
he was sent out on the chain-gang to
work the streets. Animmense crowd
of curious and idling people collected
about to see the changed figure Of the
thick-lipped, foul-mouthed scamp, and
finding it impossible to drive them off,
Thompson was sent to the lookup

Grant in a Hun Over Hayes Letter.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Pres
ident one day last week gave audience
to an Ohio private citizen, in no way
connoctedwith public life, and volun-
tdrily conversed very free with him up
on the public situation. Among other
things the President criticised very
severely Hayes letter. He said he
considered it in extremelybad taste and
thought it reflected upon the present
administration. The President further
said to this gentleman that he hoped
the time would come when the Ameri-
can people would be permitted to elect
a President for as Tonga time as they
chose. The inference left upon this
gentleman's mind was very strong that
the President was grievously annoyed
that no consideration whatever had
been given to the question of the third
term.

4 Good Crop.

As proof that good crops can be
produced on poor ground with good
cultivation, the following is an exam
pie: DR. John w. Steele selected, last
sowing time, the poorest acre he
could find in the old Joseph Steele
place, on Fall Greek, for trial. He
sowed the whole field with wheat, but
prepared this acre with fertilizers, and
sowed it with care, and when the
crop was gathered and threshed the
yield Of this one acre was thirty>fve
bushels. This is a handsome yield,
and shows what can be done on even
poor ground when properly cultivated.
Many of our farmers endeavor to cul-
tivate too large a body of land, and,
in doing so, cannot give it proper at
tention. Let them cultivate small
er body and do it thoroughly, fertilize
it well, and they will then have larg.
er and more profitable yields for their
labor.-Rmal San.
