The country papers centrally speak of
vegetation as being very forward; grass is
growing plentifuily, which is fortunate in
view of the slender amount OF fodder remain
ing after the drouth OF the last summer.
Trees are budding at unusually early date,
and should morning frosts come, as Is fire.
quent in the early part OF April, it may go
hard with the peach trees. Continuous rains,
and floods in the lowlands, are hindering
farmers from beginning to pillow, which, it is
feared, may result in restricting the acreage
in many places. The reporter OF the Chat
tanooga Times has been interviewing the far
mers from the surrounding country with the
following result: "Whrat in the northern
end of this county (Hamilton) and in
the adjoining counties OF Bradley and
Rhea is looking remarkably we'll, and
The prospects are good at present for
better crop than for years. For
a lev miles up the river and for some dis
lance up toward Cleveland the wheat crop
in general looks very badly, and several Of
the farmers are badly discouraged, but
others still have hopes that the yield Will
turn out better than appearances indicate at
present. The corn crop is late IN receiving
attention on account OF the bad weather; at
present little ground has been broken for il.
Oals is beginning to lie sown in several To-
calities, but tue work has not yet become
general. Winter oats are, a general
thing, looking remarkably well. The farmers,
in several instances, are sowing quite largely
of the white Russian and rust proof oats, as
these varieties have proved quite popular
during the last two seasons. The
cultivation OF cotton is increasing il
this neighborhood. Numbers who tried IL
on a small scale in this vicinity last year are
this year devoring nearly their whole farms
TO its production. Fertilizers are used only
in limited quantities, the majority Of farm
ers preferring 10 raise il after the old style,
as they say dry season Is death on cotton If
phosphates are used. Grass ia at last be-
ginning to rise to its true position among the

II Avn A PIRATE KING
The Way Henry watfersOn Walked Up q
Poker Party.


The young comedian, Nat Goodwin, was
,, telling the other night of little poker party
| into which he dropped, where the silent and
saturnine Shed Shook and the gallant and
intellectual Henry Watterson were doing the
heavy business.
Watterson had lately heard the opera Of
The Pirates Of Penzance, and fallen in love all
over again with its melody; particularly
was he pleased with the pirates song, and
ever and anon he broke forth and warbled
81 am Pirate King" or he burst out and
whistled bar so, as he held his hand
close TO his critical eye. Poker, as several
Chicagoens know, is not a conversational
game; but Mr.. Watterson was in luck, and
he varied his musical outbreaks by an occa-
sional "Reminiscences. Nat cheerfully played
in the amount he thought he could CON
tribute TO the evenings amusement, left the
table, and, as a looker-on, gan to emf ~
himself. just then Tony Hart aud a young
man named Billy Btrry-Ethiopisn de-
lineator aud variety performer, happened in.
Barry was unacquainted with the person OF
Mr.. Watterson, and probably never heard of
the Courier Journal. Watterson had just
picked up his cards, passed them under his
eve, whistled bar of his favorite song, when
he casually remarked:
The last time j played poker was with
Grant"
AZ was with Grant, the old man said,'" re-
cited Barry-"I 'spose the general?'
~ said the general-General Grant" re-
sponded Wattersou, lcftily.
"Oh, hear him. Barry addressed Hart
"Just get onto that-Grant! 1 '-pose Roscoe
held flush usual, Ell? Oh, play de
kiards."
Mr.. Watterson looked Mortified at the low
interruption, but relapsed into his melody,
and informed the party in A minor at he
"was Pirate King"
At this juncture Tony Hart found he held
pair of kings and pair of aces, and began
betting.
Waiterson softly whistled and passed his
nose over the cards.
81 have no reason that can see to refrain
from seeing you and going you fifty better.
L am Pirate King"
Tony investigated his hand again with
such good results that the stakes were raised
By this time the other players were out
Watterron and Tony had got up to $780,
"The Pirate King" was coming with a pic
colo precision from the editors puckered
lips; his head was on one side like a mag
pie, and that gentle, soft expression so often
detected in the Courier Journal sat on the
editors face as Tony called:
What have you got?"
Two pair" answered Watterson.
''So've I-can't be beat, either"
81 am Pirate King" sang the editor, as
he laid down two pairs-ail jacks-and
raked i'll the money; Il am Pirate King"
I'm paralyzed if you amt" groaned
Tony, as the stakes disappeared, and Nat
Goodwin came away satisfied that if there
are any Pirate Kings in the poker trade,
Henry w atterson takes the little crown
