Weather and Crops.

Extracts from the Louisiana Wealth
er-Crop Bulletin for week ending Sat
urday, August 10, 1889:
Very favorable reports are received
from the northern tier of parishes
regarding the cotton and other crops,
general rain would however be ben
efcial in that section. From Sabine
and Vernon parishes eastward to the
Mississippi it is reported that worms
are quite numerous and that a whole
sale poisoning is in process. The
cotton crop, with this exception, is
doing finely in all the parishes, except
IN few localities in the central and
southern portions where heavy local
rains have made it grassy and caused
1t to shed to some extent. In the
Florida parishes crops are reported
In generally excellent condition, and
no worms are reported.
Although the rains in the sugar
region were quite heavy, no unfayor-
able reports are received. A contin-
uation of the rain would doubtless
work injury, but the outlook is for
warmer sunshiny weather.
The rice continues to promise well
and some is reported as ready for
harvest.

From speech delivered at a Con-
federate reunion at Brighton, Tenn,
by Col. S. F. Wilson last Thursday,
we take the following extract:
81 have never seen a brave Federal
soldier who wanted brave Confed-
crate soldier to kneel and beg his
pardon. Only the suffers and cotton
stealers of war times insist on that
In rs years the bravery and courage
of the Confederate soldiers will be as
highly valued in New England as in
Tennessee. They have common
blood and patriotism up there, and
when the suffers and cotton stealers
and politicians are gone, we will, with
a common voice, commend the valor
of the ex-Confederate as a common
heritage of our nation"
