The growing season may be shortened

from putting in our regular crops.
The growing season may be shortened
a little on account of the winter con-
tinuing into spring, but be ready and
when the weather and ground are
ready put in your regular crops, and
if they are well put in they are very
apt to mature. Oats, we find, are no
exception to the rule. Crops will
generally grow and mature in shorter
time when the seasons are short, as it
is in the Northwestern States. They
generally make themselves if the
land is properly prepared and the
crops are well put in and well cult
waited. The oats crop may not be so
profitable this year as last, but let us
do our duty and trust to providence
for the balance.
Many are sowing more clover, and
the same preparation for clover does
the work for oats. Make your land
smooth and nice for the mower and
in case rust strikes your oats before
they mature NOW them at once for
hay. They make fine hay and a
great deal of it. We seldom fail to
get good stand of clover when sown
with oats, especially if the oats are
cut off early, before the dry hot days
in June. We have found oats a very
profitable and satisfactory crop,
When properly taken care Of and fed
they serve as a hay and grain fol
stock. They are very healthy food
for work stock. From the demand
for seed there will likely be more
oats sown this spring than usual, not
withStanding the season is a little
late. The farmers are determined tC

A Kiss by Moonlight.
ACTIVE, PASSIVE, and LEGAL
KISSES.
A Pedestrian Catches the Sound.

From time immemorial, no one will pre-.
tend to deny the fact that kisses have been
held in high repute by both sexes-wh whether
active or passive. 1t has been decided that
a LEGAL KISS implies ACTION on both
parties; but when lady simply consents
to be kissed without action Of her lips il
constitutes only PASSIVE kiss--a sweet
deprived Of its nectar.
Many long years ago, so says history, the
Spanish student Victorian became desper-
ately enamored with the personal beauty
and fascinating charms of Prosperion,
daughter Of the king of Naples. There ex-
listed a wall, being a line of demarkation
between them, which he dare not cross
nevertheless, they managed to exchange
sentiments and arrange clandestine meet
ings. Many times he scaled the wall at
night in order to steal kiss from the fair
one while the pale moonbeams were playing
upon her classic features, and one time
while gazing into the depths of her deep
blue orbs, 1n rapturous ecstacy he exclaim-
ed, "PROSPERION, WHAT HAST MADE

A Terrible Fire.

A very disastrous fire occurred at
Pulaski last Friday night, in which
four business houses on the north
west corner of the square were de-
stroyed and three men lost their lives.
The men were sleeping in the upper
story of one of the buildings, and
were not awakened in time to make
their escape. One Of the men was
named Glaze, and lived in Giles
county; the other two were brothers,
named Miller, and were on their way
from Texas, where they had resided
for several years, to their old home in
Maury county. Pulaski has suffered
severely from fire in the last two
years.

RE-DIsTRICTING BILL.

A bill will come before THE Senate
on the ODD for final action, providing
for the redistricting of all the counties
of the State. 1t is proposed by the
provisions of this bill to divide each
county in the State into six civil dis
tricts outside of the incorporated
towns, and allow two magistrates to
the district. Counties having incor-
porated towns, said towns shall form
the seventh district, and where the
population is less than 5000, be en-
titled to three Justices; above 1900
inhabitants, four to ten justices, ac-
cording to population. This will re-
duce the number of justices in the
State fully one-half, will materially
reduce the running expenses of the
county courts, will increase the bust
ness of the remaining Justices, there
fore increasing their remuneration,
and consequently better men can be
found to fill the positions. If the
present Legislature does no more
than enact this bill into law, the
members will richly merit "well
done, good and faithful servants
from their constituents. tits thought
the bill will pass, and for the good o.
the whole State it is certainly to be
hoped that it will.

We have been several times asked
during the last few days if it was not
too late to sow oats. We have said it
was not. The ground has been either
frozen or too wet to pillow, 1t will be
remembered that last year was a
very wet spring and many farmers
Sowed but few oats on account of the
lateness. We sowed forty acres, and
were until the middle of April get
