Texas Crops.


H. C. Stevenson, Secretary of the
Dallas Board of Trade, makes the
following report OF the condition of
growing crops: Wheat will aver
age IS bushels per acre. Harvest
ing has commenced; no serious
damage by the late rains, except in
narrow belts swept over. The yield
will be sufficient to bread and seed
Texas the coming year. The mar
ket will be open June 1. 1t is indi-
Gated priced will be from 81 90 to
81 % per bushel. The area planted
is over six times larger than last
year. The oat area is 10 per cent.
greater than last year. The yield
will average 20 bushels per acre /;
now being harvested. The price
will be 30 cents. Corn is from knee
to waist high prospects fine, and
anticipated yield of 90 bushels per
acre. The area planted about the
same as last year. Barley is cut
and shocked; yield 80 bushels per
acre; area not large. Fruit trees
and vines are loaded with large,
healthy crops. The fruit prospects
never were anywhere near as fine
in any previous season in Texas.
The cotton stand is not good in con-
sequence of want of rain in April,
and in this and adjoining counties
the crop will be to 10 per cent. less
than last year. The worms in the
grain fields, a few weeks ago, have
all disappeared and did no material
damage, Heavy rains have fallen
in all divisions of Texas since the
5th of May.

We fought him at KernstOwn, fight

Manassas behind Pope, on his flank,
in his front. We found him at
Gaines mill. Fate waited for him
before striking last blow. 1t was
the hammer in his hand which shat

A Good Man Gone.
Nashville Banner.

A special to the Banner announ-
ces the death of Hon. Robert f.
Ferguson of Montgomery county.
Mr.. Ferguson served two terms in
the Tennessee Legislature, elected
in 1872 and in 1874. He was ma
tive of Virginia, and a brother of the
late brilliant Jesse Ferguson OF this
city, who went to Europe in the
early part of the war representing
the Confederacy. Mr.. Ferguson
was a successful farmer and mill
owner, near Clarksville, a man of
something of his brothers. brilliancy
of intellect, but of more practical
turn. He was man of broad, lib
eral views, well read, fine cOnver-
sationalists, a man of decided abil-
ity and culture. He was a gentle
man of the old school, with all the
simplicity and geniality of the true
and wCll-bred gentleman. He was
firm and answering in his adhe-
renee to his convictions of right and
farthest of any from latter-day FASH
ions in principles, changing like
our modes of dress to suit any SEEM
ing emergency. In his death
Montgomery has lost one OF her
staunchest and truest men. Among
all her future citizens and their rep
resentatives that grand old county
will never have one who will serve
it with more zeal or faithfuller ser
vice, or take deeper interest in its
welfare.

Manufactures at the South.
R..,r Ny,-Nr TI....fa

Many of the Southern States arc
wisely turning their attention to the
question of the encouragement of
manufactures. In Virginia there Ia
a proposition to call a convention to
amend the constitution, with a view
to the exemption from taxation of
new manufacturing enterprises. AL
ALBANIA is following in the same line
of progress and common sense.
Movements OF this character are
the heralds of a new era I'm the
Southern country. The waters OF a
hundred southern Fivers, whose
banks might be made the centers
of innumerable industries as flour
ishing as those Of Lowell, run idle
to the sea. The South has within
her boundaries all the conditions of
success. 1t has the raw material,
cheap labor, a genial climate, pro-
ductive soil, great natural resources.
Why are they not utilized There
Is abundant room for New England
below the old dividing line Of Ma
son and Dixon.

iron interests in Stewart and Montgomery
Nashville American.


Prof. Henry @. Cotton, geologist
of the Bureau of Agriculture, etc.,
returned yesterday from a tour of
exploration in Stewart and Mont
goInery counties. He visited a
large number of iron ore works and
five furnaces, which are in running
order, only three of which are in
blast. OF these Bear Springs is
cold blast, and making on an aver
age about eighteen tons of pig iron
daily. LaGTange and Clark are
both hot blast, and jointly make
from forty to forty-five tons daily.
Mr.. HorSford, an experienced iron
furnace manager, from Ohio, has
lately taken charge of the LAGRANGE
property, and there will no doubt
be some needed improvements.
Prof. Cotton says that notwithstand-
ing there have been seventeen fur
naces run in Stewart and Montgom-
cry, il is his opinion that the larg-
est beds of iron ore are COMPARE
lively undiscovered, instead of eK-
hausted, as some have thought, es-
pecially from the abandonment Of
so many furnaces. There is still Il
great opening for investment and
iron making in those counties. Prof.
Cotton states that new crushing,
washing and separating machine,
just put to work at La Grange, will
enable much ore to be worked which
has heretofore been thrown away.
Particular attention was paid to the
growth of timber on lands formerly
cut over for charcoal, and the con-
clusioDS reached were very favOra-
BILE. The excellent and cheap fa-
cilities of transportation, warrant
the erection and profitable working
of other furnaces, and there are vast
areas still covered with original
timber growth.
In the peculiar upliit of the older
rocks called Wells Creek basin,
near Cumberland City, Prof. Cotton
found, on the farm of Mr.. ThOs. ID.
Toombs, a strata of variegated mar
BILE closely resembling that of Knox
county. Specimens were procured
and are on exhibition at the Bureau
room. Excavation will be made to
determine the quality in large
quantities. The geological forma-
ton is the same as that of the mar
BILE region of Knox and Hawkins.
Prof. Cotton states that he every
where found the farmers at work
with good will, and in better spirits
than for years. Every one seemed
hopeful and confident of large crop
this year. Everywhere increased
attention is being paid to grasses,
the wheat crop looks unusually
well, and the corn has good stand.
Tobacco plants are plenty where
they were scarce last year, and
much land was not then set for want
of them.

And deep eternal calm.

Through these dark and sunless ways,
The gates of opal open,
And shine the golden days.
After all the faded garlands,
After all the bitter tears,
Come the flowers that spring immortal,
Come the happy, happy years.
After all that we have suffered
From friends as well as foe,
A better life dawns for us,
A truer love we know.
After all the pain and sorrow,
After all the countless loss,
We take up the crown OF glory,
And lay down the heavy cross.
After all then comes the sweetness,
After all then comes the light,
After all we stand as VictorS
Upon the eternal height.

Throw sorrows dismal pail,
When heavens IS long day of sunshine

The PRESIDENT or THE TAXING DISTRICT
OF MEMPHIS.
A Short Sketch of Prominent Citizen and
AoArhnak
Memphis Free Trader.

Memphis Free Trader.
Mr.. David Park Hadden, the
present President of Memphis, is a
native of Kentucky, born in Elk
ton, Todd county, in 1885. When
boy he worked on his fathers
farm in summer, and attended the
Elkton Academy in winter. In 1855.
having finished the prescribed
course at EIkton, Mr.. Hadden
wrote in the Clerks Office, of the
county, and studied law, and in
the latter part of the year, went to
Ciarksville, Tennessee, where he
began his commercial life by keep
ing books for Clarksville firm
though nt the same time continuing
his law studies. In 1862 he became
connected with the cotton house OF
Watts, Craine d Co., of New York,
to which city he removed. In 1864
Memphis was selected as his perma-
nent home, and the cotton and gro
Gerry commission house, now known
as that of Hadden q FaringtOn, was
first established, in connection with
Mr.. William Park. Mr.. Hadden
soon showed himself to be sound
and able business man, and the
merchants of Memphis evidenced
their confidence in his capabilities
by twice electing him President OF
the Cotton Exchange-in 1879, and
again in 1880. The people of Mem
phis displayed the same confidence
when they almost unanimously
elected him to his present high po-
sition, as Chief of the Taxing Dis
trict. Under his administration the
city is economically and judiciously
governed, and the construction OF
sewers and pavements is rapidly
carried on.
AS an instance of Mr.. Hadden's
VIM and energy, may be mentioned
the case of the Masonic Temple.
This building for long time stood
in n half-completed condition, and
was an eye-sOre to the community.
Mr.. Hadden became President of
the Association, and Immediately,
with his usual energy, made ar
rangements for the completion of
the building, which is one of the
handsOmest in the city, and the
pride of the fraternity.
Mr., Hadden, despite his sound,
practical common sense, has taste
for humor, which of late has devel-
oped rapidly. The monotony of
dull judicial proceedings are often
relieved by some spark of wit from
the President. That Memphis at
tracts such men of sterling worth,
is of itself an evidence of the city's
advancement and importance, as
place of business. The term of Mr..
Hadden's Office does not expire un-
til January 5th, 1886, and long be-
fore that time he expects to def
nitely arrange for the paying of the
city debt.
