THE Southern Vice President boom
does not boom to any great extent.
The Nashville American whichreally
started it after the suggestion had
been made by some country weekly
paper, realizes its mistake, and refuses
to 20 any further. Its not willing n
handicap the Demecraiic party in that
way. The Appeal, however, fires
away about once a week, and has some
following, mostly among interior
papers. The Chattanooga Democrat,
& spicy and vigorous journal, disposes
Of the question by saying; r,n0 az
The Memphis Appeal does not get
much encouragement in its effort 10
create strong sentiment in favor OF
q Southern man for the second place
on the National Democrlic ticket. In
ignoring the Appeals attempt the
South has shown its good sense. Such
a thing is impracticablo Just now.
There Is no demand fol- it in the ranks
OfSouthern Democracy. Should the
Convention accord that mark Of con.
sideration to the South, we doubt IL q
man could be found whose NOM
ination would not be draw,
back" to the ticket. The APP
peal and its satellites would Of
course Iexpect q Rebel Broader to
be put forward, and that would effect
ually shut out all hopes Of success.
Just wait awhile. The South need
not be in rush about that matter.
There are many other things to profit
ably engage our time for few years to
come besides making a Southern Pres,
ident.
These are the views Of the thought
iil masses and will be the mind Of the
National Democratic Convention,
whether held in Memphis, Louisville
or elsewhere.

A Very Suspicious Case.

Coroner Gregory was called on last Tuesday,
to hold an inquest on the body of colorcd
infant found under the floor of house upon
Mr.. Philip Dunn's land.
Sophia Smith confessed that she was the
mother Of the Child, and said that it was born
dead, on Sunday; she did not want any one
to see it. so she buried it under the floor.
The child was examined by DR.. rosey, who
reported that it was well developed and had all
appearances Of health lie found no evidence
of violence and was unable to state The cause of
death
The actions of the mothcrin burying the child
and attempting to deceive persons about It's birth,
give rise to a strong suspicious of something
wrong.
The jurys verdict was in acco flaucc with
the doctor report to the cause Of death.

Crops in this County.

From what we can learn from the farmers
who have come into town the past week, the
following is about the condition of the crops in
this county:
Conon The frost of the 23d ut. did but
little damage. The plant is at least two weeks
later than usual AMI quite small for the season,
but looks healthy, wanting rain
Corn is backward, and is sadly in need ofrain.
The bud worm is doing much mischief in the low
grounds.
Fall sown Oats are looking fair, Lut are thin
on the ground and low. Spring oats in most
places arc very short and hardly high enough to
harvest. The drought has cut this crop short
to what was last year.
Wheat is doing pretty WE'LL generally The
heads are short bit well filed. 1t was killed
out badly, in some places, 10y the winter freezes
The dry weather has been more favorable than
otherwise for this crop. \ good half crop will
bc made.
Gardens are almost entire failures Tie
drought, high winds and unreasonable cold
vegetables and keep the harder ones from grow
ing. Irish potatoes and peas are the only vege
tables to be obtained.
\ slight rain las Saturday night gave vcgeta.
ton temporary relief. The weather since
then has been ho, during the day with cold
nights.
On Wednesday we had another slight rain
here, and we learn that splcnJcl rain fell
north Of here, particularly on the Forest"

the kind America has ever attempted, this Ex-
position will offer To the Southern States an
opportunity to exhibit their claims to capital

n reasonable display to draw millions of poorly

And those States that are foremost in this res

Under any circumstances the cost Of advcrtis

Tho Union Nine Wins.

At six o'clock Friday morning the special
train rolled away from our depot, and after n
pleasant rifle of three hours delivered her
cargo Of young men at the Columbia depot, where
y committee of University students met and

follow furnished the feast cf reason and flow
| Of soul"
! At three o'clock the national Game was called
| and Union, true to her reputation, promptly
answered her nine appearing in position on

much admirnl-of white knit waist
trimmed with blue, white knee pants, blue helt
and stockings, regular base ball shoes and hat
colOrs blue. We proud to look on them
