WHY Grain is Chean.

The extraordinary and unlocked for decline
in exports Of grain during the past eight
months, explains why prices remain low, de-
spite the fact that wheat sin sight," that is, in
all the markets, elevators, and transportation
east Of the Rocky mountains, has fallen ma
terially below the stock at this time last year.
The exports from the United States and Canada
from Sept. 1st, 1885, to May LIST, 1886, were:
Flour, 5,424,5S7 barrels; wheat, S2,75S,2O1
bushels; corn, 42,720,6GS bushels. In same
period last year: Flour, 701S,558 barrels;
wheat, 55,7S0,0H bushels; corn, S6,75S, POL
bushels. This shows better appreciation
abroad OF our corn, the exports exceeding those
of last year by about 100000 bushels. Great
Britain and Ireland took $4,000, 900 bushels Of
the 42,0OO,OOO bushels this year. Reckoning
the barrel Of flour as ~ bushels Of wheat, the
eight months exports Of wheat this year have
been 67,S77, ,eS7 bushels; same time last year,
81, ,363, 572 bushels; decrease Of full 80 000 0OO
bushels. This does not present very prom-
isng outlook for our wheat growers this year.
1t is, however, to be noted that our area is
not much increased; that the reports from
Kansas and some ether localities indicate very
poor condition Of the wheat crop, and that
foreign nations have been consuming the sur
plus left over from the unprecedented general
wheat crop Of 18S4.-Prairte Farmer.

Eastern papers, particularly those in Penn
syvanias says The St Paul Globe, are sending
up cry Of alarm over the exodus which ia
taking place from that state to Dakota and
other portions of the west. Within week, 1t
is stated, nearly 150 families have lett four Of
the interior counties for Dakota, and more are
expected to follow, The most discouraging
feature Of this Immigration, too, as viewed bI
Pennsylvanians, is the fact that those compos-
ing it are nearly all experienced farmers, Just
the kind Of people Dakota, on the other hand,
finds most valuable. The cause of the exodus,
as seen by the eastern press, lies,in excessive
freight charges, through which it costs the
Pennsylvania farmers as much to get their
products to market as it does the farmers Of
Dakota. While it is probable careful inyesti-
gatien will show other, and, perhaps, more
important underlying causes for the emigra-
| ton, the reason does not concern the west so.
long as the fact remains. It may merely pc
| observed that experience has shown wisdom
to be on the side Of those who abandon high
priced and frequently worn out farms IN the
east for the cheap and rich soil OF Dakota
Viewing the exodus then, from purely disin-
terested standpoint nothing but congratnla-
tions can be rendered those farmers who, de>
spite the warning cries Of the eastern papess
have sought new homes In tho west,

In order to check a practice which for some
time has grown to be nuisance alike to mer-

may have one day in seven for rest and rpcrea-

agreed to close their places of business on
Sundays, and hereafter no sales of merchan-
disc will he made on that day. In cases Of
sickness prescriptions will be filled at the drug

fore been in the habit of coming to town OH
Sundays to do their trading will govern them
selves accordingly. This Is 4 move in the right
direction, and it is to he hoped that all will
live strictly UP to the agreement.

OBITUARY..

James Horne was born in Orange
county, N. c., Jan, 4, 1913; came with
his parents to Tennessee when only
three years old was reared near Camp
bellsville, Giles county; served IN the
Florida war; married Sarah A. Baker
of Giles August %, 1897; was LETT a
widOwer with three sons and two
daughters June II, 1913; married Su-
san Barnes of Giles Jan. IL, 1853; died
of rheumatism April ., 1886, at his
home near Bohemian, Giles county,
Tenn aged ~ years, 10 months and l
day; left son and daughter by his
first marriage, four sons and four
daughters by his second marriage, his
second companion, a widowed sister,
many relatives and friends to mourn
their loss. His funeral sermon was
preached April G, from Num- 1910.
His remains await the first resurrection
in the cemetery at old Mt. Moriah.
Bro. Horne was very reserVPd-a man
of few words He protested religion in
1S43 while in the woods squirrel hunt
ing, united the same year with the G..
p. church at Mt. Moriah; served this
church for a mum Der of years in the ca
pacity of deacon and remained a con-
sistent member OF it till called home.
He was one OF the kindest husbands and
one of the most tender and loving ia
theirs that it has ever been my good fer
tune to know. He loved his home and
strove to make it pleasant and attrac-
tive to his family and friends; he was
unusually fond of the society of his
family and found Ilore real enjoy ment
at home than elsewhere. His house was
the preachers home. For several
months be fore his decease his Affections
became so severe that he knew that he
could live bat a short time longer at
the most, and his last days were largely
spent in talking to his companion Of
what awaited him In the near future.
His only trouble seemed to be "Can
recognize my loved ones in heaven ?''
A few days before he died, while ra-
tional, he called his family around his
dying bed and told them that he must
leave them soon, that all was well with
him, that they must not grieVe after
him, but meet him in heaven. He then
told them goodbye and prayed God to
bless his family. He told his wife that
he was glad that he was to be taken
and she left to care for their children.
His high appreciation of his wife led
him to will her his property and to
make her the sole executrix of his will
without security. At his funeral a
large cOncourse OF relatives and friends
gave evidence of their high esteem and
love for the christian man whom they
had known and loved so long. Surely
a good man, kind husband and father
a useful citizen and pleasant neighbor
has entered upon his rest and obtained
his reward. No one who knew him
ever had occasion to call in question
his veracity, honesty and christian
character. Dear bereaved ones "weel
not as those who have no hope" END
late the virtues of your departed loved
one. FL. G KING, Pastor.
