Enbouragin9 Estimates of u Trustworthy
Newspapsr-A Fine Outlook.

Newspapsr-A Fin Outlook.
The Baltimore Manutacturers' Re
cord published last week nearly Two
pages of special reports covering the
whole South from Virginian to Texas
showing that the prospects for the
crops and the outlook for business in
this section are remarkably good.
Not only is the acreage of the cotton,
corn and tobacco crops the largest on
record but tho reports are almost unan-
imous in stating that the yield Of these
crops rs well as of the smaller crops,
excepting wheat, will greatly exceed
the best crops eve before produced.
1t is also shown that the crops have
bee made at q much lower cost than
in any preceding year and that the
liens on the crops for money advanced
to the farmers in much less than here
toforc.
The official reports from South Car
olina show that while this State will
produce about four million bushels
more of corr and probably over three
hundred thousand bales more than last
year, the aggregate amount of agricul-
tural liens given to obtain advances
upon the growing crops is $3, 200, 900
less than in 1882, Notwithstanding the
fact that the intervening years 1888
and 1884 were unfavorablc crop years.
In Georgia the agricultural depart
mcnt estimates the corr crop at 49,
600, 900 bushels against 3l,O0O,O 600
bushels last year, and $4,000, 900 bush
els in 1888.
The reports regarding the corn crop
from the whole South are of the most
flattGring character, some stating that
the yield will be the best for years,
others the best for twenty years, and
many the best ever known.
1t is thought by the United States
commissioners of agriculture that the
increased acreage in corr over last
year, and the splendid yield which is
now assured, will give the South not
muchlcss than 81 $1,000, 600 bushels OF
corn more than last year.
The cotton crop, it is believed, is
safe for much the largest over made,
and for at least from 1000 900 to l..
100000 bales more than last year.
or tobacco, fruits and vegetables the
crops are the largest ever made in the
South, while lice promises a splendid
yield and sugar is far more salts.
factory and profitable Il crop than in
1854.
Stimulated by the unprecedented
crops, business is already showing n
decided Improvement, and tho bros
poets throughQuttlfc South for the fall
and winter trade are reported as I'M.
usually good. In the organization of
railroad and manufacturing enter
priscs there is great activity, aud the
outlook for the industrial interests is
particularly promising.

My little daughter all her life has
been in delicate health. Her blood

taken various preparations of iron,

which were prescribed by the best
physicians, and while she was bcnc-
fitted, yet it was only temporary. A

tried it, suggested s. S. S. For about
a year she has had an INDECENT but
stubborn sore behind her cars. After
she had taken Swift's Specific for n

began to discharge. This | regarded

ears grew better, and to-day are en-
tirely well. Her appetite is splendid

MARRIED HIS OWN DAUGHTER.
The Unnatural Marriage Was the Result of
Wife's Misdoings.

The Unnatural Marriage Was the Result OF
q Wife's Misdoings.
A few miles from Schenectady,
in Schoharie county, resides a married
couple, the husband being considerably
older than his wife. They had lived
happily together for more than two
years, and have had one child little
girl. Eighteen years ago youth of II,
the son of wealthy farmer, living near
the boundary line of Schoharie county,
made a runaway marriage with
the '15-year-old daughter of a
neighbor. They settled in Esper-
ance, Iowa, where they resided for
several years. A daughter was born to
them in the first year of their marriage.
While the child was an infant the
mother eloped with drummer" tax
ing the child with her, and went, the
husband knew not where, but as re-
cent developments show, to Chicago,
where she has since resided. When the
daughter became IA years old she
ran away. She met a man who paid
much attention to her. The acquaintance
ripened into love, and when the girl ar
rived at the age of II they were mar
ried. Soon after their marriage the
couple came to SchOharle county, the
former home of the bridegroom, and
settled, and have since lived happily.
In some way the girls mother learned
of the marriage of her runaway daughter
and came to Schoharie county, not
knowing the name of her daughters
husband. The mothers paramour had
died, leaving her without provision, and
she resolved to seek her daughter and
make her home with her. When she
Unexpectedly appeared upon the scene
and found her husband and daughter
living together as husband aud wife and
the happy parents at a child, she real
lied that all the wrong originated with
her own misdcings and she withdrew
from the scene, and last Saturday morn
ing came to Schenectady and took a
train for the West. The story as re-
lated is as told by the unhappy wife and
mother.
