matter at greater length on another
occasion.

OBITUARY.

Elizabeth Howard, wife of Nehemiah
Howard, died at her home near Minor
Hill, Giles county, Tenn, Nov. %, 1880.
She was 80 years old the 10Th day OF
last May, had been member of the new
school Presbyterian church about %
years, and the wife OF Nehemiah How
ard % years, minus two days.
Mother Howard was apparently in
good health until Thursday, the 18th,
when she was stricken down with pa
ralysis. By the aid of skillful medical
treatment she seemed to be recovering
until the night before her death
about nine O'Clock, when she grew
worse and continued so until O'Clock
next day when the All Wise Father de-
livered her from all pain and sorrow
here below. She leaves an aged hus-
band, one son, several step children,
with many friends and relatives to
mourn her loss. We can say of mother
Howard that she was a devoted, self
sacrificing wife and mother, and a
model step-mOther, loved and respected
by all who knew her, She will be
greatly missed by us all, but most by
her aged companion who is lettering, as
it were, on the brink, just waiting to
join her in the bright beyond; where no
farewell tear is shed.

will be necessary, the representatives

the business coming before them with
the utmost despatch. In the senate,
Mr.. McDOnald's bill prohibiting the use
OF troops at the polls will be called up
first and doubtless be passed over Tor an

Is thought, overtake Mr.. Bickncll's bill
for the counting of the Electoral vote.
His resolution 10 amend the Constitu-
tion by providing for the election OF the
President by the people, will, IN all
probability, be served the same way
The tarin question will not likely be
settled. Should there be no extra ses

derstands the dance, and the young man
will reassure her by gentle pressure
ii he understands the dance or knows
anything at all. At the second crash
they dodge, as though somebody had
thrown a blacksmith shop at them, and
then start in. They begin by Initiating
the struggle Tor lite representing per-
son drowning, but at each crash OF the
cymbals and bass drum they dodge and
scoot sideways and dart back again, jam
each other sideways, and then as the
crash OF music becomes more terrible

Messrs. Pink and Nathan Philips

absent from school for some time
on account of sickness, are now
with US again. Mr.. johnnie Amis,
who has been visiting friends in
Alabama and Mississippi, has also
returned. We are glad to see our

THE COTTON CROP.
woful News of its Condition,

Memphis Appeal, Bird inst.
Our Southern country exchanges
give woful tidings as to the condition
of cotton remaining unpicked in the
field. The premature appearance o..
winter has had very serious effect and
materially shortened the supply; esti-
majors of the total crop are reducing
their figures. The following are speci-
mems OF the sort of intelligence that
reaches us from every quarter. The
Camden (Ark.) Beacon says: "Many
farmers teIl US the bulk of the cotton is
still in the fields, and is rotting rap
idly." Drew county Ark Monticel-
liam: lowing to the unfavorable
weather not more than one-half of the
cotton crop has been gathered in GER
tain localities; ''1he Ouachita (La.)
Telegraph says they have had snow,
and adds respecting the cotton crop !:
although there will be little over a
third of a crop made, so unfavorable has
been the weather that it will not be
gathered before the year is out" Vicks-
burg Herald: "The cotton crop has
been Injured in quality and quantity
thirty-three and half per cent. at the
very least in the last few days. If the
rain should cease now the ground is so
soft in the fields that days would elapse
before picking could be successfully
conducted. The quantity knocked out
and blown out must be very large ;
the quality of that remaining is serious-
" injured, and no one can say when the
weather will be suitable TO gather it,"
Helena (Ark.) YeomAn: GAS all are
aware, the unprecedented rainfall of the
season has caused from one-third to
one-half of the cotton to be in the field
unpieked. AS it is with you, so it is
with large portion OF the cotton belt.
rhe question with you now is: "How
shall / gather the balance of my crop !?
1t has ben suggested by a cotton man
in Helena that those who could do so
procure good rubber boots at once for
both males and females to wear to the
field. If the feet are kept warm and
dry, by wearing these rubber boots, il
is probable that a large portion of the
crop now in the field can yet be gath
cred Try this plan we think it feas-
ible one" Little Rock Gazette: "The
unfavorable weather of November has
lett thousands upon thousands of acres
OF the plant untouched, and unless De-
cember and January should prove
much more propitious than usual, the
decrease in the production and conse-
Quenu loss to the planters will be almost
ruinous. The Wittsburg tArk.) Chron-
icle SAYS: "The cotton crop of Cross
county is greatly damaged by the long
continued bad weather" This is the
unpleasant news that comes from every
quarter of the State, adds the Little
Rock Democrat. The reports from
other cotton States are equally unfavor-
able

said, will inform Gen. Garfield that

four days in which a man could work.
Such a.fall was never known in the his
tory of this country. Cotton in the
patch is badly damaged; but little
wheat could be sown and corn is rot
tening in the feld. The roads are
worse than ever. The loudly-prayed-
for blessing is fifteen or twenty fair
days to finish up crops.
The railroad trains are more uncer-
tain than the weather. A train on time
would be a curiosity to the travelling
public now.
