The little daughter of A. Ceage died of
smallpox in Chattanooga last Saturday; no
new cases at Tadetown; the Kelley family,
six miles of, have it.
The Purdy Sun local is in distress-no-
body married, nobody dead, nobody run
away for whele week in that quiet corner
of the United States.
Kingston had another smallpox scare last
week. A negro woman, Jane Arnold, just
from lockwood, developed a full grown
case; she was quarantined a mile away.
At Rutherford last week H. c. Hopper,
farmer, got up in the night for a drink Of
water and found a man crouched down in
the next room. He seized him; the man
shot him in the shoulder and escaped. I.
Sims, son of respectable farmer, is in Jail
on suspicion of being the man.
Shelbyville had a narrow escape on Tues
day from another confagration. A negro
went into the Gaz,as Office, which is upstairs
over Wolfson's store, and found the room
filled with smoke. He raised the alarm, and
the front door Of the store was forced open,
and the fire, which had originated in a box
where the matches were kept, was extin-
guished.

Nashville American, 9TH: "The most en-
couraging reports of the wheat crop come in
daily from all portions of the State. The
yield will be enormous"
A New Middleton correspondent says: 81
never saw in any country such fine pros
pect for wheat, oats, clover, tobacco and
other crops. The earth is fairly laughing
with 10y at the bounteous prospects,"
Chattanooga Times: ave learn that rust
has attacked the apple trees in many Of the
orchards south of Dalton. The leaves turn
yellow and drop off prematnrely. In some
from its effects"
An Athens correspondent writes: 1--WE
look forward TO an abundant corn crop this
fall, and tolerably fair yield of wheat.
Frost appeared in some sections OF our
county, not sufficient to hurt crops. We are
thankful we have managed 10 worry through
1882 so far"
Commissioner Hawkins has written that
approximations of danger TO the wheat crop
from rust, which were so prevalent a month
ago, seem not to have been realized to any
great extent, and the damage has been COM
paratively slight. The season has been ia
vorable for the filling out of the heads, and
the grain is we'll developed. The harvest is
about two weeks earlier than last year, and
in some parts of the State much of the crop
is already harvested. From these sections
information justifes the conclusion that the
yield will be even better than the estimates.
The acreage is es timated at forty-three per
cent. increase, condition of the crop thirty
one per cent. above that of this time last
year. The weather, during the last month, has
been unfavorable for cotton, resulting in
poor stands. In some localities much of the
cotton land has been replowed and planted
in corn. The oat crop is very promising.
Clover and grass are growing well, though
the acreage is diminished as the result OF
last summers drouth. The fruit crop is
generally promising. Corn is growing
rather slowly, but generally the stand is
good and the corn looks reasonably well.
The peanut crop is not very promising.
Sweet potatoes and irish potatoes promise
