By Kye Defines HIS Position.

The British press has in some way
arrived at the conclusion that the
editor of this fashion guide and
mental lighthouse on the rocky
shores of time (terms CASH is
party with wild tangled hair and
an eye like tongue of flame. That
is not the case, and therefore our
English cO-WOrker in the great
field of journalism, is, no doubt,
labOring under a popular misappre-
hension. Could the editor of the
News look in upon us as we pull
lore in our study, or, with glad
smile, glance hurriedly over the
postal caId in transit through our
post Office, he would see, not as he
suppOses, wild, cruel slayer of his
fellOw-men, but a thoughtful, schol-
arly and choice fragment of modern
architecture, with lines of care
about the firmly chiseled mouth,
and with the subdued and chastened
air of man who has run for the
Legislature and failed TO get there,
Eli. The London News is an older
paper than ours, and we therefore
recognize the value of its kind no.
tice. The Boomerang is young
paper, and has therefore only begun
fairly to do much damage as ma
tiOnal misfortune, but the time is
not far distant when from Green
lands icy mountains to India coral
strand we propose to search out
suffering humanity and make
death easier and more desirable by
int M Hh
Regarding the pO-t0tfice, we wish
to state that we shall aim to make
it great financial success and fur
nish mail at all times to all who
desire it, whether they have any
or rot. We shall be pretty busy, of
course, attending to the office dur
ing the day, and writing scathing
editorials during the night, but we
will Try and snatch moment now
and then to write a few letters for
those who have been inquiring sad
ly ard hOpelessly for letters during
the past ten years. 1t is, indeed, a
dark and dreary world to the man
who has looked in at the same gen.
eral delivery window nine times
day for ten years and yet never re-
ceiV9d a letter, nor even q cont1den-
tial postal card from a commercial
man stating that on the 9th of the
following month he would strike
the town with new and attractive
line of samples. We should early
learn to find out such suffering as
that, and if we are in the postOffice
department we may be the means
of much good by putting new en-
velopes on our own dunning letters
and mailing them to the suffering
and distressed. Let us in our album
dance remember those who have
not been dunned for many a weary
year. 1t will do them good and we
will not feel the loss.

Tennessee Productions.

Commissioner Hawkins. of the
bureau of agriculture, statistics and
mines, received a report from the
department of agriculture, Wash
ington, in which it is stated that in
1881, 73. 1856, 900 bushels of corn was
raised in Tenr Sc 1t was sold at
the average price of ~ cents per
buShel and yielded $50, 1913, 1872.
Wheat-S, 971, 200 bushels, 81 cts.
per bushel, 81 1868, 1872; oats estima-
ted to be the same as 1880, 81, 1885,
093.90, paying an average of Al cents
per bushel.
Rye-Seventy-nine cents per
bushel value of crop, $l20, 571.11.
BuckWheat-SOld at 50 cents per
bushel; value, $50, 734.12.

TObacco-Average of u cents per
pound, 81, 1O2. 1882.
1t will readily be seen that this

number of itemized productions
from Tennessee, but even those
mentioned aggregate $55, 799, 874 so.

Late PioWIng.

Fall and winter blowing has
many advantages. Among them
may be mentioned pulveriZation of
the soil and destruction of insect and
vegetable life. The turning up of
the earth in the fall affords an OPP
pOrtunity for the frost to work
through the soil. This, as every
one knows, loosens the ground by
separating clods and hard places.
1t raises the ground up. How often
have farmers in clay soils seen their
wheat roots raised out of the earth
and when dried blown away. The
atmosphere does good to the winter
blowing. 1t tempers it, so TO speak,
and makes it better for the spring
crop. And then grass and weed
seeds and roots are destroyed and
turned into mold instead of pests
the coming year. Eggs of insects,
also, and larvae are destroyed by
myriads in the freezing cold.

W Oman-HOpe for Suffering Won
AM Something new Under
the SaHni

By reason of her peculiar relations
and her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled to suffer, not only her
own ills, but those arising from the
want of knowledge, or of consideration
on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organi-
zation. The frequent and distressing
irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to a degree
which no language can express. In
the mansions of the rich and the hovel
of the poor alike, women has been the
patient victim OF ills unknown to man
and which none but she could endure
and without remedy. But now
the hour of her redemption has come.
She need not suffer longer, when she
can find relief in DR.. ]. Bradfeld's

In dreams no fate divides us; you are

How the wild birds sing around us, and

Love is mirrored in your eyes as the will
lows in the river,
In dreams, in dreams we part not. The
day dawn and the morrow
May take you but each morning with

You are mine when night recalls you with
