THE PAVILION.

IA young man, dressed in elaborate style,
Put on the skates with confident smile;
But in spite of his "gall,"
His pride got hard tall,
And now his head is too big for his tile
Notwithstanding accidents of similar
similarity to the one poetized do occur ev-
cry once in while. the Dillon Pavilion
continues to be the resort Of fun-seeking
people. Every evening the crowd in at
tendance attests the popularity of the
amusement offered by the management to
an appreciating public. No extra novelty
has been given at the Pavilion during the
week, but something new and exciting is
promised for the near future.

SOUTHERN MONTANA.

The TRIBUNE is indebted to Gen. Harris
and Hon. w. A. Clark, Montana's Com
missioners to the Worlds Ey ,osition at
New Orleans, for copy Of neat pam
phlet devoted to statistical and descrip-
tive review of the resources of Montana.
The pamphlet, very creoitable work, is
being distributed among the thousands of
visitors at the Exposition. The pamphlet
in speaking of Southern Montana and Bea-
verhead County says:
This county ranks third in mineral wealth
and production, being exceeded by Silver
Bow and Lewis and Clarke counties. The
richest silver-lead veins of the Territory
have been discovered in that portion of the
Rocky Mountains lying within its borders.
Its most prominent mining camps are
Glendale, Argenta, and Blue Wing. In
production Glendale is third among the To-
cal mineral districts of Montana. Here
are located the Hecla Consolidated Cos
works, which are of first class magnitude.
Argenta and Blue Wing districts are COM
paratively new, but contain rich silver-lead
mines.
The valley Of the Big Hole River, the
largest in the county, is vast expanse
suitable alike for agriculture and stock
raising, and its contiguous cattle ranges
furnish excellent grazing for stock and fol
sheep.
Dillon, the county seat, is on the line a
the Utah and Northern Railway, and has
population of 1000. AS business cen
ter it ranks next to Helena and Butte, be-
ing the distributing point for an extensive
and prosperous section of the Territory
1t supports one newspaper, the TRIBUNE
| and furnishes business for two banking
institutions. 1t is the metropolis of South

Andrew Wilson, the old gunsmith, we'll

died at his residence on Stamp Creek, on

Tribute of Respect.

Alta meeting of the Session of the Yorkvilie
Presbyterian Church, held on the lst instant, the
following memorial paper was adopted:
In the death Of James Mason, God in his PROV
dence has taken from this Church one OF It's
Ruling Elders, from the community an estlma-
bic and beloved citizen and from his family
devoted husband and father. In all these rela,
tons of life he had lived nearly up to the 1ull
measure of duty, and in his public and private
example had exhibited so few Of the fralltles
common to our nature, that few men were more
universally respected or beloved. Possessing
character Of great firmness he was withal modest
in maintaining his convictions and few men oc-
cupying his station in lfe had less vanity for re-
nown, or for hearing praises sounded to his own
name. Atall times kind and charitable, few ever
had opportunity to observe these virtues except
those who we're the recipients of his kindly deeds,
or who lived in such close contact with him, as
to understand his noble and generous heart.
His life was an arduous and useful one, but in
it's most engaging duties it was at all times the
life of the follower of Christ He lived up to his
profession as nearly as it is the lot of most men
to live. The last few months Of his life were at
tended with suffering, but the patience, cheerful
ness and resignation with which these were
borne fully eXemplified the security of his trust
in Fathers love.
AS fitting expression Of the sense of its be-
reavement the session Of this church resolves:
lst That in the death Of James Mason, this
church is deprived of faithful officer and mem
Der, whose place in it's councils and work is not
easily filled
Ind That a blank page in our minutes be in
scribed to his memory.
3rd. That a copy of this memorial be sent to
the family Of the deceased, and that the same be
published in the YORKyILLE ENQUIRER.
J. R. SCHORB Clerk of Session.

CROP REPORTS.

The State Department Of Agriculture fur
nishes the following report on the condi-
tion of the crops, September 1st, condensed
from its township and county correspond
ents:
CooTToN;;-,The frequent rains and general
ly favorable seasons during the month of
July gave the plant vigorous and luxu-
RANT growth. The condition on the 1st of
August was reported higher than at the
same period since 1880, and in many sec
tions Of the State the prospect for a full yield
had not been better in years.
The weather during the last month was
extremely unfavorable. A drought and
high winds prevailed in every county.
Many correspondents report that the she'd
ding caused by the sudden checking of the
growth of the plant has been unprece-
dented.
1t is believed in some sections that the
entire top and middle crop has been lost.
Caterpillars appeared in eighteen counties
and tifty-seven correspondents report injury
to the crop by the worms. The greatest
damage from this cause has been in the
lower counties and on the'sea islands. The
application of Paris green destroyed the
depredations, but was Intellectual in locali-
ties, as the poison was several times washed
off by rain soon after being applied.
The storm on the 9th and 25th of August
was very destructive to sea island cotton,
and the correspondents estimate the loss at
fully so per cent. of the crop. The unfavor-
able weather has not affected the crop in
the upper counties to such an extent as in
the middle and lower counties of the State.
The reports invariably show decline in
the condition between August 1st and Sep
tember 1st, and it is possible that the injury
to the crop during the last month has been
overestimated, and it cannot of course be
accurately known until the crop lis gathered.
Picking is general in all parts of the State,
and some correspondents report that with
seasonable weather, the crop will be harvest
ed early.
The condition is reported: Upper Carroll
la. 81: Middle Carolina. 50; and Lower

CoRN.-The early corn was too far ad-
vanced to be injured by the dry weather in

The late corn has suffered for lack of rain
and the yield will be reduced.
The condition is reported: Upper Carroll

The rice crop was slightly damaged by y

favorable.
It is reported in the Lower Counties at
95; and in the Middle and Upper Counties
at 80 and 86 respet ely.
The National Cotton Exchange, New Or,
leans, publishes the following under date OF
the 3rd Instant:
For the first time this season reports show
a deterioration in the crop prospects, but
shedding has been so prevalent during the
greater portion of August that excepting
Virginia and Florida no State has held its
former rating. Rust and worms have also
done some harm. Bottom lands complain
of excessive rains, and the cessation thereof
would do much toward bringing these Sec
tions up. Drought has been the trouble on
the uplands and throughout the greater part
of Texas, but, in the latter State particular
ly, timely showers have fallen quite recently
in many localities, and the prospects have
accordingly frightened in the districts so
favored. Labor as rule is sufficient and is
working we'll. Taken altogether the crop
has met with a reverse, and favoring sea-
sons from now on with a late freeze would
go far toward compensation. For the rea-
