oats.
The wheat crop, we are told, is
turning out better than was expected.
The trouble is, there was not enough
of it sown last fall.
Cotton and corn are very promis-
ing indeed. Farmers tell us that the
prospect and condition were never
better at this season. Let us be thank
full and work faithfully till the crops
are gathered, then times will be good.
Mr.. r. E. Harlan harvested mines
ty.seven bushels of wheat from four
acres of land two miles north Of town.
1t had been sown on clover land.
Other farmers about here might learn
a lesson from this.

day morning negro girl, while at

Trenton Herald: Leonard Ward,
of the 18th district, was found dead
in his bed Thursday morning. He had
been complaining for some time and
told his family on Wednesday nigh
to retire. as he felt that he could sleeI
that night, and when they went il
early yesterday morning they fount
him dead.
Trenton Herald: The Gibson Coun
ty News is dead, at least for the pres
ent. The fact has been thorough,
demonstrated and established that tive
papers in the town Of Trenton can
live and do any good. One pape
may make decent living here BY
hard work and close economy, sucl
as the Herald has used.
Trenton Herald; The City Coun
Gil at its meeting last Friday nigh
determined to put down $4,000 bricl
in new pavements-25, 900 in eacl
ward. Trenton is already the hes
paved town in West Tennessee in pro
portion to size, and we put dowl
about 100000 brick in new pave
ments each year, and the city is GU
of debt and has money in the treasu
ry. All good citizens are proud of thi
condition of our city affairs.
Humboldt Messenger: During tn,
past two weeks Mr.. w. T. Lenoir
one mile east of town, has lost eigh
head of valuable cattle from hydro
phObia. He is an enthusiastic breed
err of Shorthorns and Jerseys, and ha
a beautiful herd of each breed. Sew
eral weeks since, while he was feedins
his cattle, he saw a little dog belong
ing to him bite two COWS. The do!
in a few days afterwards died, bu
without marked symptoms Of hydro
phObia. Mr.. Lenoir's loss Is quit
heavy, and considerable excitemen
prevails among stockmen lest the dis
ease may spread. Perhaps the peopl
Of Tennessee will sometimes learl
that there are more valuable animal
than miserable ours.
