cotton prospect ia discouraging, but we will
have plenty to eat next year"
jackson Tribune, 10Th: The last xeeE OF
warm weather has greatly improved the crops
in this county. The stand of cotton is very
poor, and in many instances farmers have
Plowed up what was left and planted in corn.
Taken as a whole, the cotton prospect Is
very gloomy indeed. Wheat having been
harvested, it ia now ascertained thatthe crop
is good one"
The Campbellsville correspondent writes
10 the Pulaski Transcript that there the esti-
mated yield of wheat one acre on uplandE,
ten bushels; on lowlsnds, about six. This
short yield on lowlands Is owing to rust.
Poor King Cotton looks badly 20 yield raj

Corn Is growing rapidly The Bsrcheers
correspondent says the wheat harvest there
proves to be above the average, which is a
relief, for bread il scarce in Giles county !;
corn and oats are looking well; cotton was
never known poor at this time OF the year.

Closing Exercises Mt Lasalette Academy

Yesterday afternoon LaSalette Select
School concluded the present session with very
appropriate exercises, including music, songs,
recitaiions and distribution of prizes and
medals TO the various departments. The
occasion was a very gratifying one to the
patrons who were present, and the able and
modest manner in which the pupils acquitted
themselves reflected unbounded credit upon
themselves and their efficient teachers. The
essays which were read by the senior class
were very creditable productions, containing
deep thought, clad in beautiful and chsste
Language, breathing a high moral tone,
which speaks well for the culture of their
authors. We were convinced that while
their intelligence had been gently nurtured,
their hearts and souls had been highly culti-
waited; that while the meaningless gewgaw
and silly pedsntry which the innovators and
subverters of all true knowledge labor SO
sssiduously 10 foist into an education had
been rigidly and religiously excluded and
ignored, the true principles of knowledge
and virtue had been deeply impressed upon
these youthful minds The academy COM
! pleted very successful term, numbering
| from seventy to eighty pupils. 1t will re-
open, we understand, In the beginning OF
| September with increased facilities and a
larger number of teachers, and if success be
| the reward of merit we augur for it golden
| future. VISITOR.
