Conditions OrTennessee Crops,

The August report of the Agricul-
tural Bureau shows that the cotton has
been somewhat damaged by cold nights
and rains, but not somuch as to materi-
ally affect crops. The prospects were
never better. Ihe corn prospects have
been wonderfully improved by recent
genial rains. The average Is so much
larger than heretofore that the crop
will far exceed the usual average. The
tobacco average will not be as large as
last year, but the quality viii be better
with prospects of good crop. The
peanut average is increased with u fa-
vorable season. The fall cropsare gen
orally ilattering.

letter From Egrs. TX. NJ. Dixon.


The wife OF the murdered indepcn-
dent candidate, writes Of the alyiir as
follows:
"Political aIimosity and personal
hatred have at length accomplished
their dire purpose. My husband WAS
murdered in the streets of Yazoo City
oil the morning of the 18th by j. A.
! Barksdlle, Democratic candidate for
the office of chancery clerk. Still, per-
secution and outrage are not spent;
calunny and prejudice pursuing him
even into his grave. Charges can not
now harm the proud soul they were in
tended to crush. 1t stands in the pres
ence of a Higher Tribunal. But above
the storm of rage that is now sweeping
over his family, may the voice Of Il.
wife be heard in behalf of the memory
| Of the father Of her six helpless little
ones? Without proof, yet without re-
morse, have the epithets of liar, intidel,
murderer, gambler, etc., been heaped
upon him.
This so-called liar, infldel, murderer,
gambler, etc., WAS the same whose
name brave men wore proudly on their
bosoms in 1875, as indicating his lead
ership of them in the hour of his coun-
try's peril. Drawn up in rank and file
on the streets of Yazoo City, my hus-
band and his brave comrades received
the commentator of Lamar, Singleton,
George, and others, for bis courage
and fidelity to his country. Fair and
true wOmen evinced their gratitude in
souvenirs, poetry, music, ETC., ard in
the illumination of our city which fol-
lowed his political triumph at that time
his namc blazed fl ON the windows Of
our prOudcst homes.

"And if this was not a political mat
ter, why did the Democratic conycn-
ton make that significant %appendagc
to their scurrilous resolutions, passed
on the 10Th of August, which reads as
follows: "Ille names of two reliable
men have been handed to the secretary
of this meeting stating that threats of
assassination have been made by II. NJ.
Dixon against James Barksdale, Demo-
cratic candidate for ~chancery clerk"
Pointing to this my husband said to
some of his friends: That means muir
der; j am to be assassinated this is am
other way to prepare the public mind
for it; | shall demand the author of
this Islander, hold him responsible; al
so inform james Barksdalc | have new
er made such threats. All of which he
swears in his dying testimony, under
oath, and in view of eternity, to have
done the day before he was murder
cd"
