LESSON OF TIE DROUTH.

Nashville American
The reports from the drought on
| " emphasize the value of the Ten
nessee basin for stock raising. Some
months ago we spoke Of the superior
endurance of the soils Of the rim ov-
er those of the basin in drought.
This has been made clear in the re-
ports from the rim of the basin and
from the corn crop of the basin. The
heavy clay uplands have stood the
drought better than the fertile,
loose soils of the basin. The drought
has affected, of field crops, only
corn, and although grazing has been
seriously affected, there is no ques-
ton but that the farmers of the
basin, with their attention turned
to wooded pastures and grass and
stock-raising, can get over the Oc-
casional dry seasons far better than
if their reliance were upon corn.
With our facilities for markets and
the certainty that we cannot over
stock a stock market for draft horses,
riding, buggy and carriage horses,
cattle and sheep, as wide as the
world, it would seem like notice to
abandon corn and hogs for the rails
ing Of other stock and such other
crops as can profitably 90 with
these, raising grass and keeping up
wooded pastures The stock raiser
can always tide over a drought if he
uses proper care and forethought
the man who relies on corn and hogs
cannot. The stock raiser can al
most always depend on a crop of
hay maturing before the period Of
drought. He can then tide over
the dry weather and provide with
winter crops for winter grazing, and
wooded pastures usually furnish
winter grazing to supplement rye,
winter oats and wheat when it is
necessary to provide these. This
drought may do what that of 1854
did for the whole State in a partial
manner, From an almost exclu-
sively hog and corn State, Tennessee
became a wheat growing State and
now it would not be surprising if
this drought turned the basin of
middle Tennessee from corn and
hogs almost entirely to stock raising
and such crops as may be proftably
joined with stock raising.

A lady living near Texarkana,
Ark, strolled out into her kitchen
garden some days since and was as
tonished to find man standing up
against her fence. Greatly frighten-
ed, she ran into the house and gave
the alarm. Several persons ran in
to the garden, and, upon going up
to the man, found him cold and
dead. The body was standing bolt
upright, with head and arms hang
ing over the fence. 1t apparently
had been there for several days, for
the hair was beginning to fall out.
1t is supposed that death was caused
by heart disease, as there were no
marks of violence on the body.

DEATH OF GEN. PATTERSON.


Gen. Robert Patterson, one Of the
oldest and most distinguished citi-
zens of Philadelphia, and a hero
of three wars, died at his residence
in that city. on the evening of the
9TH, in the Goth year of his age. He
was native of Ireland, but came to
this country when a boy. He was
Just preparing to start in business
for himself when the war of 1912
broke out. He Immediately enter
ed the army as a Captain and serv-
ed through the war. Returning to
commercial pursuits he emassed a
large fortune. and built up one of
the most extensive manufacturing
establishments in the United States.
When the war with Mexico began
he was Major General of the Penn
sylvaria militia. President Folk
commissioned him a Brigadier Gen
eral, and he commanded a division
of Gen. Scott's army, which began
at Vera Cruz and ended at the City
of Mexico. When the civil war
broke out he was one of the first to
offer his services to the government.
He was put in command Of the ar
my corps, composed mainly of
three months volunteers, which
crossed the Potomac and made a
demonstration in the direction of
Winchester, for the purpose Of pre-
venting Gen. 10. Johnston from re-
inforcing Gen. Beauregard at Man
assas. The campaign was q failure,
and much of the blame was. put on
Gen. Patterson, but it was after
wards shown that he had implicitly
obeyed Gen. Scott. He soon after
wards retired from the army and
resumed his business pursuits. he
exercised a commanding influence
in business and social circles, and Of
late years divided with two or three
other gentlemen of equal age and
distinction the honor Of being " the
first citizen of Philadelphia. He
died peacefully and calmly faced
death while surrounded by his fam
lily. About 4 o'clock he conversed
pleasantly with Joseph Patterson,
the youngest Of his three venerable
brothers, and Mrs. Goodman, his
niece, and Mrs. Snowden, his daugh-
ter, and others, who were at his bed
side. Shortly after 8 o'clock his bed
was arranged for the night and the
General spoke of the marked change
in the weather, and expressed de-
termination to do well through the
night. A few moments later, he
partly raised himself in bed and fell
back on the pillow without word
Or sigh. The Doctor who turned
to aid him saw that he was already
dead.
