FRUIT IN EAST TEENEssEE.-A Knoxville
paper says: A menth ago it wis hard to find q
man who had any doubt in regard to the total
destruction OF the nascent fruit crop in this SEC
ton We are happy to say that the very reverse
of this is true We have made gtneral inquiry
and observation, and all evidences concur that
east Tennessee never had mere encouraging
prospect for fruit of all descriptions than ai pres
ent. The prolonged cold spell kept back the
spring buds, and thus saved them from the few
killing frosts that We had. Our orchards viii
be loaded next summer, This IL d most impor-
tant matter, for our fruit crop, ln n cummercial
sense, is worth far more in east Tennessee than
either its wheat or corn crop

the work of every Republican To bring it about;
that il would not do to assume that success was
sure and that General Garfeld's majority Of
$4,000 could not be wiped out He warned the
Republican party that every effort would be rc-
quired TO maintain Republican supremacy in the
State, and that indications already showed that
the Democrats were preparing for mos, vigo-
rous campaign. In speaking of the outlook to-
day leading Republican said !" Governor FOs-
ter will win a greater victory If he carries the
State by 1900 this fall than he did two years ago
when his majority over General Ewing was over
