The ISTELLIdEScER is indebted to Brad

ing crop report from the lower portion of
the State:
The crops in Cabell Wayne and Lincoln
counties, West Virginia, have. suffered So
yerely from the long continued drought II
IS stated that in the counties OF CabeIl and
WAYNE there was for this year nearly one
third more wheat sown than for any pre-
vious year, and yet tho yield will not be
quite half an average crop OF previous
wears. This, however, is partly attributable
10 the severe frOsts OF lust winter, us well
rs to the want of ruin during the growing
and rlpening season. Farmers in thisrsrc.
ton had concluded to 60 more extensively
into the cultivation OF wheat for the pur.
pose Of having some t0sparc from their own
needs To place upon the market But they
arc sadly disappointed, and 1t Is feared
there will DO barely sufficient to supply the
home wants ofthis section.
As to corn, there was u large acreage
planted throughout these three counties,
but II Is claimed by those who have every
facility for knowing, and generally beliyed,
tint tile crop will not be more than hall an
average Of previous years While in one
portion OF Wayne the yield will be about
in average, In many places the crop has
been n total failure. And considering that
numbering is oneof the principal industries
-ui this section, employing very large
number OF oxen, II Is believed that corn
will have to be imported to feed those ami
mails through the winter II is generally
Thought that farmers will sell as many Of
their live stock as they can possibly spare
before the winter sets In; even then they
will have to feed considerable for their
own use. And OH these grounds, it Is not
expected that the yield Of corn can possibly
do'more than supply the hoRe wants, II It
does that
Tobacco, 1t Is generally thought, will
yield about two-thirtls Of IN average crop;

At the request of a number of the

STATES PRISON SHOES.
EOW the state HAS Lost Money on

The States Prison is fitted up with
the finest boot and shoe shop on the
coast, every known invention for faciii-
tating the work Of manufacture being at
the disposal Of the convicts, whose labor
is not counted in the expense of making
the article. Yet the State has lost
money on the goods during the
few years by reason of bad creditors.
The books show about $4,000 due the
prison from Nevada. merchants who
have purchased boots and shoes by the
case at ridiculousiy low figures and sold

A DEFENSE OF MISS HARRIs.
A Carson Correspondent Regarding the
GOnditi n or 6iray'S Back.

a Carson correspondent, who signs
himself "X. Y. H." in defending Miss
Harris, boldly asserts that after the fog
Cling s'the skin was not broken nor the
flesh bruised, and there is no sign Of a
welt raised on his body" Such de-
Tense as the above will not help the
teacher at the Home who logged Gray,
because too many persons saw the con-
dition of the boys back to swallow any
such assertion as that. The marks on
the boy We're seen by Messrs. Sessions
and Crockett ten days after the whip
ping. The persons making the charges
come out boldly over their signatures
and tell what they know. The Ak. Y.
H." correspondent also goes on to say
that Miss Harris course 'merits the
COMMUNICATION of all right thinking
people" Does this include the spank
ing Of girls in the presence OF boys. 1t
is not surprising that the correspondent
does not sign his name.

THE PAINTEN'S PUPIL.
Rise ana Progress Of Carson Coy
WAC Became an Artist.

4 Not more than three years ago there
was a young lad in this city named
Charley Blair, who conceived liking
for art, and begged to be allowed to gt
to San Francisco and learn to paint
His mother, who was poor widow
lady, did not possess the means and she
came to the APPEAL office and begged
a place for him. He did chores at S. a
week, and saved his money until he
had one hundred dollary, and announced
his intention of going to San Francisco.
Landing in that city few days after
| wards, an utter stranger, ne called on
one of the leading portrait painters with
a letter of introduction from Governor
Kinkead.
The painter received him kindly, but
told him plainly that he was too busy to
teach him anything. The painter then
went out to take drink, and asked the
boy to accompany him, but he said he
had promised his mother not to taste
liquor, and refused to go. In a few
minutes he was alone in the studio,
amazed at the works Of AIT he saw on
every side. Seized with an impulse,
he picked up brush-a common muci-
lage brush-and catching big blue
bottle fly, neatly pasted it on the nose
off portrait.
When the painter returned, he at
tempted 10 flip away the insect by brush
ing it with rag, but the fly couldn't |
bulge, being stuck fast with the gum.
"Did you do that:' he cried, turning
to the boy.
II did, was the modest reply.
"HeaVens! what realism' and he
embraced the child as if he had been his
son.
The artist pressed a hundred dollars
into his hand, saying that it added a
thousand to the value of the picture.
He took it at once to the Art Asso-
cation, and the Hanging Committee {
who didn't like him--hung it in such
, light that no one could see the gum
hat held the fly, and the Awarding
Committee-fOr whom he set up The /
him the first prize, and liz, j
rave the boy another hundred. Alter
hree or four months the fly dried up on
he picture, and the brother artists
wore that he was fraud. The artist d
vent to look for the boy, but he had I
.oue to work for some whitewashers,
Who paid him two dollars day. lie U
