The saddest thing that has ever
happened in the Eighteenth district &C.
Cured about two miles from town,
between 8 and 10 o'clock, the 2nd inst.
1t was not a case of "wasn't loaded"
but was purely accidental. Roman
Richmond, son of B. Richmond, of
Memphis, aged fifteen, in company
with W. Barnwell, L. S. Tucker,
Lewis Butt and David Castleman, all
about the same age and members of
the Grammar School, left town to
spend holiday in the woods.
One Of the boys, David Castleman,
had borrowed gun, and gave it to
Lewis Butt to load. He inserted a
cartridge, and on springing the load
back to its position, the gun was dis
charged, emptying the contents into
the back of Roman Richmond short
distance above the thigh, an inch to
the left of the spinal column. Forty
shot have been taken from the wound.
Richmond is alive at this writing,
but no hope Of his recovery. His
mother arrived to-day, Sd inst. Every
attention possible has been given the
unfortunate young man. Doctors

building to be put up now will be
40x80, two tall stories. A similar
sized building is intended to be erected
on the west end of the college to be
made into rooms for the use of the
boarding department. When the
whole work is completed, with other
improvements contemplated, G. F.
College will not only be the largest,
but one Of the handsomest and most
convenient school buildings in the
state. The beautiful site, healthy 10.
cality, and other advantages peculiar to
McMinnville, are beginning to be APP
preciated and make it necessary for
the trustees to enlarge the buildings to
accommodate the increasing patronage,
One of the most essential things for the
success of any school is healthy lo~
cality, with pure air and water with a
moral, intelligent, christian community.
In these respects no place is superior to
McMinnville. Itisremarkably healthy.
In all the long years this school has
been in operation, we believe only one
student died at G. F. College, and she
was an Indian girl who died of con.
sumption. The atmosphere is pecu>
liarly favorable to the development Of
the physical as well as mental faculties
Of the young lady just growing into
womanhood. A bright future may be
anticipated for McMinnville as an edu.
cational point, for both girls and boys,
if we will work to merit it and furnish
suitable facilities and Accommodations.
But to accomplish much requires ar
earnest and hearty cooperation upon
the part of the citizens of McMinnville.
We believe it will be done and oul
schools built up until still additional
buildings will be required. Let us al
work for it and work in earnest.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Widely ex-

mers Review show no material change
in winter wheat since last report,
except that the general condition isnot
so good. The weather has been excel.
ent for spring wheat. In Minnesota all
the counties report wheat looking finely
with the exception of one or two coun-
ties where the average yield, it is esti-
mated, will fall below that of last year.
Reports from Nebraska indicate only
an average prospect for wheat and
corn. The majority of the Ohio re-
ports are not such as to idicate any.
thing more than a fair wheat crop.
Indiana has promise ofan average crop,
except in the Southern portion of the
State, where the outlook is gloomy.
The same is true of Illinois. Iowa re-
ports good wheat and corn prospects,
and the wheat yieldin Kansas promises
to be very large. Wheat prospects in
Kentucky are not as promising as a
year ago.
