CROP REPORTS EoR JULY.

We have Commissioner McWhirter's
crop and weather reports for July,
based on over four hundred reports
from 95 counties. From these reports,
Commissioner MoWhirter estimates the
wheat crop 70 be equal to the crop of
1882 which amounted to nearly TO-.
100000 bushels. While the wheat
crop is good, and the grain generally
of fine quality, we doubt whether the
report will be hardly so favorable
when the crop is all threshed. We
hear of many farmers whose wheat in
yield falls short of their expectation
after threshing. Col. McWhirter says :
"Much of these good results is due in
very great measure to the care taken
in the preparation of the soil, the se~
lection of good seed, the manner of
seeding, and in many localities the ju-
dicious application of fertilizers.
In the face of the abundant return
for the farmers progressiveness, in
discardiDg old methods, and in adopt.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY STOCK
SHOW.

Col. G. H. Slaughter and wife, of
Montgomery county, spent few days
in McMinnville this week. Col.
Slaughter is one Of the most intelligent
and well posted farmers of Middle
Tennessee, and is contributing largely
to encourage and promote the farming
and stock growing interests of his part
of the State. We are indebted to Col.
Slaughter for copy of the announces
ment of the Second Annual Reunion,
Live Stock Exhibition and Stock Sale
of the Montgomery County Associa-
tion," which will take place at Dun>
bars Cave on the 10Th and Goth inst.
The Reunion will be of great interest,
not only to the farmers of Montgome-
ry, but to all others who attend the
meeting. We regret that we cannot
be present to witness the exhibition
and enjoy the Inequalities of Col.
Slaughter, so kindly offered us.
These meetings and exhibitions of
stock and the various kinds of country
products, cannot fail to result in much
good. Every county in the State
should have its annual stock shows and
exhibition Of the various products Of
the country. By coming together and
comparing our stock and other product;
with those of other farmers, we can
better judge Of our success. We
would be glad to see the farmers Of
Warren and other counties, form SINH
lar associations and bring their stock
and other products together for exhi
hilton. 1t would do them much good
and stimulate hem in their efforts t.
succeed.

contributed to materially shorten the

the corn crop may not be a full aver

and materially damaged some crops
very much. We do not look for a
large surplus of corn in Tennessee
from the present crop. From the va
rious reports the Commissioner thinks
the cotton crop will be nearly an aver

of last year.

MOB VIOLENCE.

Last Sunday a party of thirty to
forty men raided the house of man
named Condor, in Lewis county, this
State, where Mormon meeting was
being held, for the purpose of breaking
up and driving the Mormons out of the
country. Three Mormon Elders were
killed, also one of Condor's sons, j. r.
Hudson and Dave Hinson, the latter
being one of the masked party. Mrs.
Condor was also fatally wounded. Ans
other Norman Elder, who was at an.
other house not far away at the time of
the tragedy, is missing, and it is sup
posed that he was also murdered by
some of the masked party.
While we have no sympathy what-
ever with the Mormons, we have less
with any mob of men who mask their
faces and commit such crimes as these.
For every wrong there is a remedy,
but mob violence is never proper
remedy for any wrong. The dignity
of the State of Tennessee has been ter.
ribly outraged by these crimes, and its
peace will be very seriously jeopardized
if they are allowed to go unpublished.

The Wall Street Bank, of New

might have a healthy influence on
others who are weakly constituted and
inclined to such irregularities"

WEEDS.

We frequently see in our agricultu-
raj exchanges, suggestions as to the
best way to destroy these indigenous
pests, Weeds, or as they are called
in the Bible, "thorns and thistles," are
Of natural growth. They are to be
found all over this green earth, wher-
ever vegetation grows or man inhabits
the soil-one of the strongest proofs of
Divinity. In the garden of Eden, God
said to Adam, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice Of thy wife,
and eaten of the tree, of which / come
manded thee, saying, thou shalt not
eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy
sake: in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all
the days of thy life. Thorns also and
thistles shalt it bring forth to thee !;
and thou shalt eat the herb of the
field: in the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, till thou return unto
the ground" etc, This is one of the
strongest proofs of the authenticity of
the Bible. Ever since the days of
Adams transgression and Gods utter
ance of the decree, that the earth
should bring forth "thorns and this
Ties" and man should earn his bread
by the sweat of his face, has the earth
produced weeds, and they will continue
to grow spontaneously so long as man
inhabits the earth. because thou
hast hearkened unto the voice Of thy
wife," etc. From this scripture il
would seem that the curse of weeds, as
well as the decree, "In the sweat Of
thy brow shalt thou eat bread" etc.,
was on account of Adams obedience tc
his wife.
We may subdue and keep partially
in subsection these pernicous weeds
but it requires constant and thourougf
cultivation of the soil. The question
naturally comes to us, how can we dc
the work of subduing the weeds anC
making our bread at the least cost O.
labor? We know our bread must come
from the soil, by the sweat of the face
and how to make the most bread will
the least sweat is the question. From
experience and observation we are de
cidedly of opinion that the farmers o
this country must give up the idea, fOl
the present, Of trying to make surplu
Of grain. Our lands are too poor ant
labor too expensive to compete witt
the West in the production of grail
for market. Clover and other grasse
should he our leading productions, a
least for few years, until we can res

good crop Of green clover turned unde
every third year would keep the weed
in subsection and rapidly improve thu
land. The first crop for hay ant
the second crop for seed would be foun
very profitable. Clover meadow
should be plowed we'll about ever

AN ABSURDITY.

From the Sparta Expositor we clip
the following article:
"Mr. Woolwine, a drummer, reports
that the city of McMinnville has made
up the thirty thousand dollars and sent
a man to Nashville to offer it to the
Railroad Co. If they will stop the train
at McMinnville. We can hardly be-
lieve the citizens of that town guilty of
such foolishness--to offer a r. r. Co.
$4,000 to abandon and tear up line
of road which cost $350,000. Mr..
Woolwine stated that he got his III
formation from Mr.. Hartsell, general
route agent of the Express Co., who
was on his way to Nashville with the
proposition. 1t is doubtless one of the
foolish rumors that is frequently afoat,
but if so, it shows who starts them"
We do not know Mr., Woolwine, nor
do we know whether he made such
statement or not. Let this be as it
may, our good friend, Bro. Baker,
ought to have known that such state,
ment was false and unworthy of notice.
No man, or set of men, with sense
enough to own or control 100000
would have so little gumption as to
make such proposition to the R. R.
Go. McMinnville is willing and anx'
ious to see the road completed to Spar
