He was greatly beloved, and this sad event
has cast gloom over the whole community

him as a brave and gallant officer.

Rust in Wheat.


Cleveland Banner: Duriug the past
week rust has developed itself gu the
growing wheat crop of this section to
an alarming extent. We talked with
many of our farmers on Monday, and
they report that tbe crop In their re-
sppctive localities had the rust badly.
Tue general opinion now ia that The
crop IN this portion OF East Tennessee
will be failure, or very nearly so. A.
yet the rust is cnp6ned to the blades
OF the wheat, aud some are hopeful
that, IL il does not strike the stalk, II
will not he very materially damaged.
We hope the latter theory may hold
good, but the present. outlook Is any
thing but fl t eriug.
