EXETER AcADExr---MR. PHILLIPS. Z
when, Massachusetts having taken in
New Hampshire, he removed to Wells,
Me-, and never returned. The town he
had founded grew very slowly, and was not
Ia place of much Importance until the rev.
Iolution. In 1774, when the storm was
brewing, a company from Exeter. together
with party from Portsmouth, attacked
Fort William and Mary, at the entrance
!of Portsmouth harbor, and after slight
resistance took possession of its military
stores, and removed them to places Of
lconcealment. This was the first open act
of resistance OF the colonies to the author.
ity of the mother country.
%*x
After the Declaration of Independence
Exeter became the capital of New Hamp-
shire, and continued to be so until the
war was over. Washington passed
through the place in 1889, when he was
received and welcomed by the entire pop.
ulation. After he had dined, and the
prominent citizens had paid their re-
spects, an escort took him to his next
stopping place, Haverhill, Mass.
The First Congregational church in
Exeter was founded by Wheelright, and
is, therefore, as old as the town. There
are number of other churches, includ-
ing Methodist, Baptist and Episcopal.
The Unitarian society is of modern origin,
having been formed in 1854.
Exeter is now chiefly distinguished as
being the seat of the celebrated Phillips
Exeter academy, a sort of American Eton.
Five years ago the alumni celebrated its
centennial. John Phillips, n native Of
Andover, Mass, went to Exeter at an
early age and remained there till his
IL t. xzl -
10. Soon after settling in Exeter he
opened a private school, and was employed
to teach the school supported by the town.
He studied for the ministry, but never
entered upon the duties of the profession.
He went into trade instead, and thirty
years after retired with large fortune.
Being childless, he gave a great deal to
different educational institutions, includ-
ing Dartmouth and Princeton, but his
great work was the academy. To this
work he gave a great deal of attention
during the latter part of his life, 6nd en-

THE COTTON CROP.

The report of the Department OF Ag-
riculture at Washington, ID. c., makes
the average condition of cotton 1873,
decline of three and half points since
the last report The general average IL
slightly higher than in 1887 and 1886,
when it stood at 1913 and ST. respect
lively. The decline, while slight, has
been general throughout the belt, except
in North Carolina and Tennessee, where
more seasonable weather has resulted IN
a slightly improved condition Local
damage has resulted in the Carolinas
from both drouth and excess OF moisture,
the rainfall during the month being IN
evenly distributed Rust is general
throughout Georgia, and withthe drouth
and shedding of hollis has seriously re-
duced the condition Alabama has suf-
fered from heat and drouth and in some
sections the month closes with appre-
tensions of damage from excessive and
continuous rainfall. A decline in Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana is the result OF a
marked excess of moisture during the
last two weeks of August. The severe
storm which swept over these states on
the 10th and Goth Frustrated the plants,
and continuous rains have beaten out
the bolls and caused some rotting. The
crop in Texas was beginning to suffer
for moisture when the rains OF the latter
part of the month came, seasonable over
the greater part of the state, breaking
the threatened drouth and arresting the
decline in the condition which had set
in. In Arkansas the average has been
lowered by locally unfavorable seasons,
drouth in some sections and excessive
moisture, especially toward the close OF
the month, in others, causing reduc-
ton. The month was favorable in Tennes-
see; seasons good, and but little com
plant of rust State averages of condi-
ton are: Virginia 81, North Carolina

ida 80, Alabama 81, Mississippi SO, Lou
isiana 70, Texas rs, Arkansas 81, Ten

somewhat late and picking delayed BY
unfavorable weather Caterpillars and
