Col. Killcbrcws crop rcpor; is out.
In East Tcnness5c he reports u coun-
ties dry season and 6 scasonablc. In
Middle Tennessee 10 dry and 9 scasona-
BILE. In West Tennessee 10 dry, !
seasonable and 3 favorable. Accounts
from the wheat crop are very conflict
ing, the rust, fly, worms and the wealth
err have made heavy inroads on the
crop. Some counties report an average
of 3 bushels while others claim 10 and
even more. At the best Middle and
West Tennessee haryests will not realize
more than half crop. Fast Tennessee
claims thrce-fOurths of crop. The
breadth of the area sown will, to some
extent, compensate for the loss, but Ia
ken all around there will be great loss
to the State. In corn the general aver
age is 80 per cent; Middle Tennessee
96; West Tennessee 81. In tobacco
the reports for Middle Tennessee show
an average Of II; West Tennessee only
IS per cent. Cotton averages about 100
per cent. Oats average over 80 per
cent, and the same may be said Of the
grasses, potatoes, and garden products.
With the exception Of peaches in GER
tain localities, the fruit crop will be
abundant. Live stock are bsaitby and
10 good condition.

Foes Of Circuit Court Clerks.

The following circular has been sent
to Circuit Court Clerks throughout the
State;
CoMprrourR'- OFFICE, NASHVILLE,
June l5, 1850. 10 Circuit Clerks; BY
a recent decision Of the Supreme Court
at jackson, constituting Sec ), Chap.
20, Acts 1879, it was held that, in ease
of lands sold for taxes aud bid in by the
State, the Circuit Court Clerk is enti-
tied to Il fee Of $l.0O, to he paid by the
State. ON each tract, lot or parcel Of
land which had not been sold for the
taxes Of any prcviou. wear, or which, if
sold, had been redeemed. To arrive at
the amount OF fees due clerks under this
decision on tax sales for 1878, it will be
necessary to compare the tax sale for
1878 with the tax sales for former
years, and this will require some time
and labor. As soon, however, rs this
task shall have been performed, the
warrants will be issued.
Very respectfully,
JAS. l.. GAINES,
Comptroller.
