THE CROPS.
Interesting Report by the -Farmers,
Review

Review
CHICAGO, April 25.-The Farmers
ReuicC will tomorrow print the follow
ing crop report, based on returns from
correspondents IN to last night:
The weather has been exceptionally
favorable during the past ten days for
spring wheat seeding and has been inn
proved, to the utmost in Wisconsin,
Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and Da-
kota. Fully from one-half To two
thirds of the entire acreage in Dakota
and Minnesota has already been seeded,
and under conditions which could hard
ly have been excelled. Seeding Is pro-
crossing favorably in Wisconsin and
Iowa, but in Nebraska complaint of
wet weather still continues, and con-
siderable land which would otherwise
have been devoted to wheat has gone
to flax and oats. While the reports are
NOT yet complete, the indications
for slightly decreased acreage in Wis
consin and Minnesota are reported.
The reports from the winter wheat
States show little variation from those
of the preceding two weeks. The
Kansas bulletins do not Indicate any
improvement. The outlook at the best
is that the yield will not exceed one
third to one-haIf of an average crop.
In Dickinson and other counties the
failure is almost total and the fields
have been plowed under and devoted
to oats and other grain.
The reports from Michigan also show
very little or no improvement. The
prospects are for from 65 to IS per cent.
of ali average crop In the different
counties. Reports Of damage from the
Hessian fly come from three Michigan
counties and from Roanoke county In
Indiana, but the injury reported thus
far is not serious. The generality Of the
reports from. Indiana and Ohio are very
favorable, while the reports from Mis-
souri, and Tennessee continue very fat
tering, the weather of the past two
weeks proving extremely favorable.
With the exception Of one county in
Kentucky tJohnson) where there is the
promise Of not exceeding half crop,
the returnacontinue very favorable.

Wonders Of Penmanship.

In the current number of the Pen
mans Art Journal, Prof. Chandler H.
Peirce tells of a DR.. Scott, of Buffalo,
who, at the age OF II, wrote upon an
enameled card with a stile, on space
exactly equal to that of one side of a
nickle three cent piece, the Lords
Prayer, the Apostles Creed, the Para
BILE of the Ten Virgins, the Parable
of the Rich Man and Lazarus, the
Beatitudes, the fifteenth, one hundred
and twentieth, one hundred and thir-
ty-frst and one hundred and thirty
third Psalms, and the date 1880"
Every word, every letter and every
point of all these passages was writ
ten exquisitely on this minute space
and that old man not only saw every
mark he made, but had the delicacy
of muscular action and steadiness OF
nerve to form the letters so beauti.
fully that they abide the test of the
highest magnifying power. They
were, of course written by microscop
ic aid, and not with purely forearm
movement.

Suddenly Jabe appeared on the crest

OFFICE SOUTHERN STANDARD,
McMinnville. Nov. 10, 1886.
Some improvement in trade is
noticeable in every department of bust
ness. Our Spoke and Handle Facto-
ry and Stave and Barrel Factory are
kept exceedingly busy supplying their
demands.
The lumber trade has been active
and moving quite freely. In fact
there seems to be general improve
ment in everything except grain.
The demand for wheat and corn is
light, and prices are not satisfactory
to the producer. The farmers of this
country cannot, with their wornout
land, compete with the rich plains of
the West. They must give more at
tention to the restoration of their
lands, which they can do by growing
more grass and more and better
stock.
Good, large, well-fatted pork hogs
are rather scarcer than usual and are
selling at sc, net.
Dried fruit, of which there is but
little in the county, is in better de.
mand.
Green apples are beginning to move
more freely, and are in good demand
at quotations.
Eggs have advanced and are worth
Ijc, and are in good demand.

A Machine to Sew on Buttons.

Wade's Fiber and Fabric.
We often receive letters from
manufacturers located in the South
or West to go and examine machines
of various makes and report on their
merit. We this week received such
letter to 60 and examine a machine
that has just been perfected to sew
buttons on pantaloons or similar gar
ments. AT first one can hardly be-
lieve that such a machine is possible.
1t is not only possible but the ma
chine is perfected and doing the work
of four or five girls, and doing it
much better, because it never Sights
its work. 1t puts in just the number
of stitches it is gagged for, which is
usually twelve. 1t sews on buttons
with four holes just as easy as it does
those with two holes. 1t will sew on
six buttons per minute of twelve
stitches each. The thread must be
cut from both back and front of but
ton by hand as each one is complet-
ed. The girl in attendance couldsew
on six buttons on each of three hun
dred and fifty garments in each day
of nine hours, and she admitted that
there were girls who could do better
than she could. The buttons are
placed by hand, and if placed wrong
a broken needle and button is the
result.

be but two. A third party move
ment will hardly find room or
occasion for existence unless it should
succeed in supplanting one of the old

third party movement may have
the effect of greatly renovating and

Nashville American.
Only seventeen members of the
forty-fiifth general assembly were in
the forty-fourth. Few men care to
return and all of these are not per-
mitted to. The vote on q county
line bill or some other single measure
is often the pivot on which a legisla-
tor swings back into private life.
Messrs. Simerly, Brown and Lyle,
republicans, and Mcdowell, demo-
crat are the only, senators returned.
These republicans, it will be remem-
bered, were of the band of seven who
were so closely guarded at the Max
well house two years ago for fear
that they would get out and return
home without voting on the registra-
ton bill. Mr.. J.W. Lewis, who re-
presented Henry county in the last
house, enjoys the distinction of being
the only representative promoted to
the senate. In the house, Messrs.
Willis, Allen, Solomon, Dulaney,
T. w. Lewis, Wade and Johnson,
democrats, and Messrs. Idol, Thorn
burgh, Hanna, McElwee and Tyler,
republicans, are returned-a bare
dozen.

The New Supreme Court.

Knoxville Tribune, 18th inst: The
Supreme Court closed yesterday after
term of nearly ten weeks duration.
1t can be truly said, without fear of
contradiction, that there are no judges
of the Supreme Court in the United
States that have worked more dill
gently and faithfully than have the
gentlemen who constitute our Su-
preme Bench. There has not been
single day missed; the. objective
point from the first to the last has
been business. The result is that the
docket has been completed. Four
hundred and twenty-five cases have
been disposed of and settled. The
highest number heard in any former
term was 225. The gentlemen COM
prising the bench are men who are
indeed model men, and we will pre-
sent as cur ideal of a Supreme Bench
the names of the Judges Turney,
Folks, Caldwell, Snodgrass and Lur-
ton. If they continue during their
term of Office as they have COM
menced there will be less cause for
complaint by parties who have here
tofore been obliged to wait until al.
most an age before having decision
in their cases.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.-The Dempsey
and Burke glove contest proved g draw,
ten rounds having been fought. On time
being called for the tenth round the men
retired to their corners, Burke taking off
his gloves, while Dempsey remained
seated. Burke cried out that the match
was for ten rounds, and as they had been
fought the match was over. The audience
cheered Dempsey and yelled at Burke, the
latter going back to his corner, and on
Captain Douglas signifying his willing
ness to continue the fight, Burke again
donned the mittens. Finally the princi-
pals, seconds and referees discussed the
situation, and the master Of ceremonies an
nounced that the license called for ten
rounds, and that the referees were unable
to agree, therefore the match was called a
draw. Both men, who were seen imme-
diately after the fight, were apparently
still fresh and none the worse for their
aff0rtg.
