section.
Middleton CTenn.) News: There is a fat
tering prospect for good fruit crop in this
! section.
Dickson, Tenn: Wheat promises fine
yield; farmers are planting corn by the peck,
not by the bushel"
The prospect so far for crops about
Brownsville is better than ever known at this
time of the year. The wheat il looking
splendid. All the corn is in the ground and
put there in as good condition as could be.
Commissioner Hawkins, in answer to iu-
quiries, said of Tennessee crops that fifty per
cent. increase had been put in wheat He
thinks there will be slight increase of area
for corn and for tobacco, and a slight in
crease for cotton. The sale of fertilizers will
be increased.
Nashville Banner, 18th: "From the ac-
counts given by persons from the country.
the prospects for abundant crops were never
better than now. In many fields the corn is
from three to six inches high, and numbers
of farmers have finished planting cotton,
while the wheat crop is more promising than
for years."
Knoxville Chronicle: "In many portions
of Claiborne and Granger counties, especial
ly in in Dutch, Hog Skin and Cracker Neck
valleys, there is a wonderfully increased
acreage of wheat sown, and it is looking re-
markably we'll. The tendency is growing
rapidly in these sections to raise wheat and
the grasses, to the exclusion of corn, which
has heretofore been the principal crop"
Pikeville, Tenn: The farmers of this val
ley raise too much corn, TO the neglect of
grasses and small grain, and but little while
ago they sold great quantities of it at seventy
to seventy-five cents per bushel; but many of
them are now flying around in a lively way
in search OF enough for their own use. 1t is
very scarce at 81 per bushel. Crops are far
advanced and are looking very fine at
present.

the crevasses in Louisiana, sum utterly be-

Congressman L. C. Houk, of the Knoxville
district, Is having very bad luck and much
OF il. Six or seven Republican county con-
ventiops held in the district have failed to
even mention their congressman's name, al
though indorsing Ex-Pfesident Garfield and
lsmenting his untimely and terrible end, and
also indorsing Governor Hawkins. In one
county convention Mr.. Houk was mentioned
and a resolution. adopted denouncing any
man who said "the name of Garfield would
GO down TO everlasting infamy" This is sig
nihcaut, for the report has been current for a
good while that Mr.. Houk made such re-
mark about the time of Senator Conklins's
resignation. Houk was advertised TO speak
at Knoxville on Saturday last, but tele-
graphed that important public business would
prevent his eoming-that he could better
serve his constituency by remaining in
Washington to vote upon the army bill.
The Congressional Record shows that the bill
passed the Rsuse Two days before he t-le-
graphed, and that he was absent whsn his
name was called, Mr.. Houk's chances for
denomination are growing slim.

As Is usual with men where the women
they prostitute are concerned, the cowardly
Mormons, who have indnlged themselves in
a plurality Of wives, in order to escape the
penalty attached to polygamy by the recent
act OF Congress. propose 10 turn the plural
wives out OF doors. Well may the Salt Lake
Iribvec ask if this is not stroke of cow
ardice On the part OF the scoundrels whose
objnrgations have imposed the unspeakable
degradation Of polygamy on the Mormon
women, which it would be hard to parallel
in history. The men are willing that the
plural wives shall be martyrs; but no, thank
you, none of it for them, not if they know
themselves. But this is of piece with the
polygamy business itself, which is, for men,
all the women they want; for women, slavery
and desradstion

The Mormon bishops, who advised their
misguided people that "God would take care
of them" nevertheless think it as we'll that
they should assist God in the work. They,
therefore, have instructed all who live in
polygamous adultery to get round the recent
act Of Congress by furnishing separate houses
for their plural wives. The bill Furnishes
the ofiense of polygamy. As polygamy il
difficult to prove since Mormon marriages
are secret, it was defined to mean the act Of
cohabiting with several women.

RELIGION affects people variously. Brother
Jones, Of Kansas, assured his hearers, at
jesse James's funeral, that that murderer
and thief, who had not even time to breathe
prayer for forgi veness, had gone to heaven.
OF course brother Jones knows. He is one
of the keepers Of the keys Of paradise. The
Mormons-poor, persecuted panderers to a
system of licensed and public PROSTITUTION

estimated that FUZZY forty per cent more will
be planted this year than ever before, the e1-
pertinent for the past few years having
proven such great success. II is estimated
that fully 5000 bales will be raised in this
county this yearsand the number may even
exceed this estiDste. Hundreds of acres are
now being planted in cotton in portions Of
the county that never raised boil before.
From one bale to one-quarter bale per acre is
raised in the county. There is at present
great scarcity of cattle existing, and one
meat market in the city has already been
compelled to close in consequence. The high
price of corn during the past winter has
caused it in measure, and besides the
straits of many farmers compelled them to
dispose of their cattle early last fall.
