Kansas aAd Missouri Flour for
Memphis.
Aanias City Journal. 1.

The completion Of the Kansas CITY and
Memphis road opens up to our merchants
great possibilities Of increased trade par
ticularly in grain ard provisions. The
Hour trade will be especially benefited.
provided we can furnish them as good
brands as can DO had at st. Louis and
other leading flour markets. Kansas Citv
is the natural depot for one Of the greatest
wheat countries In the West. No States
grow better grain than Kansas and Mis-
souri,. Our mills are supplied with the
most approved machinery, and all that
has been needed was a more rigid inspec-
ton. That has now been supplied. Mr.
Elliott, the Board of Trade flour inspec-
tor, Is gentleman possessed Of every
qualification for his position. having had
many years experience In the same posi-
ton in st Louis. He has already brought
up the standard Of Kansas City -four 10
such an extent that IL Is already in greater
demand than the mills can supply. A 81.
Louis buyer has been in the city for some
time offering to purchase all cur surplus.
But we need not sell to st. Louis. We
can ship to the South direct over the new
Kansas City and Memphis line, and with
such inspection as we now have we can
soon build up a large and profitable trade
with that section

TENNESSEE SIGNAL SERVICE.
improvements In this Service
since Its Organization.


The signal service system of the State
IS becoming 10 be quite important. Major
IL. q. Bate, Commissioner McWhirte,'s
assistant, has taken especial interest In
this part Of his work, and has made strong
efforts to perfect the system since his ins
ductlon into office. There are now some
NIFTY stations in various parts o the State,
ana some OF the ageats are doing good
Work. Miss Hattie K. Stratton, OF Grand
View, Eust Tennessee, has be-
come especially an expert and
furnishes the Bureau with ex-
cellent weather reports. If others
would follow her example in making out
their monthly reports il would be a great
advantage, both towards perfectinR the
system and TO the Commissioner in max
ing out his reports TO the office AT Wash.
lngton. Some time ago the Bureau at
Washington forwarded charts or county
references, but they failed 10 make L
complete, leaving out many in portant
outlines, such us the Central basin, Cum
berland plateau, West Tennessee plateau.
and the Mississippi bluffs Major Bate,
recognizing the. great advantage of these
outlines to the service, 1T once.
with tho assistance Of Profess or
Stafford, compiled new chart.
containing all these omissions, and added
besides these the new county of Chester
and many other important outlines and
sent the improved chart to the Washing
ton service. To-day he received the new
charts, all neatly finished, with the omis-
sions OF the former chart corrected. These
charts are to be used in showing the equal
lines of precipitation for each month, and
they prove a great factor in the service.
The service is comparatively new in this
State, but by the unfailing energy Of the
gentleman at the head, It Is nearing per-
lection, and Il will not be long before the
State can boast Of well-regulated signal
service system.

N. U. states, D.
The State OF. Mississippi Is head Of any
State In the Union in infantile precocity.
The other day at Jackson, during the ex-
hibition Of babies for prizes, IL Is remark
able fact that none Of them cried, but on
the contrary they all assumed a sprightly,
cheerful look and enjoyed the whole pro-
ceedings with that inimitable nonchalance
which only innocence can truly act 10
perfection. Darwin has studied the first
signs and movements Of children, and
watched the early development OF their
intellect, but nothing thai iiis great man
has written will throw any light upon the
orderly action OF these babies at jackson
while contesling for the prizes Two the
cries are probable, but the last one will
find more favor than the advocates Of the
first The first one Is that the anxious
and proud mothers carried the urchins
through long coune OF baths, powdering
and dressing on the eventfll morning
during which time they made Rome howl
with Tho noise Of their screams, and At the
appointed hour nature was exhausted and
could do no mere. The last one Is, and
most everybody Is disposed 80 believe this
in preference TO any other, that Misaissip-
pi Il healthy State, and these babes rep-
resent the health and disposition Of their
mothers. At the Cotton Centennial Ex-
position TO DO held hero Mississippi will
likely carry OF the prize In this line "
they behave with such cleverness as they
did IN jackson.
