RN STANDARD--M
young men were gamblers when
their mothers and sisters invited
them to participate in gaming by
buying tickets in church raffles."
AN Observant farmer remarked to
us a few days ago that the live stock
Of this county was rapidly degener-
ating in quality. He said that the
county had the poorest lot of young
mules this season he has ever seen in
ii, and that the cattle do not begin to
compare in quality to what the cOun-
ty could show five or ten years ago.
If there is any excuse in the world for
this condition of things we would be
glad for some farmer to explain it to
the readers of the STANDARD. 1t
strikes us that the Farmers Alliance
could do some good work by forming
companies in various neighborhoods
to buy good males and by judicious
crossing, improve the quality of stock
in the county.
THERE is a dead lock in the City
Council of Nashville over the cleo
ton of president. Nearly five
hundred ballots have been taken in
the Council without reaching an elec-
ton. The Council is composed of
eight Democrats and one Republican,

big majority is no doubt quite anus
ing to the Republicans. In fact the
local political squabbles of both Nash
vile and Memphis furnish much
amusement for the entire State. 1t

MADDEN dynasty of Memphis is
without sensation, and the various
political factions of the capital city
seem determined that thir cousins

A Corn state.

Many people have an idea that
because Georgia is one of the larg'

raise little else. They forget that
Georgia is an empire within itself,
having within its boundaries a
variety of soil and climate that en-
sLlcs it to produce almost every
grain and fruit common to the tenn
perate and semi-tropical zones.
Last January the American
Agriculturist offered premium
of 6vehundred dollars for the largs
est yield Of corn on one acre Of
land. This premium was open TO
the United Stctcs. TO further
stimulate the production of grain,
the Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety offered premium of one hum

corn on one acre in Georgia, and
en- additional premium Of one hum
dred and fifty dollars il a Georges.

took the premium of one hundred
dollars. having raised one hundsed
ard thirty and one-half bushels of
corn on one acre of land. He also
star DIS good chance of taking the
premium for the best yield in the

This shows what Georgia can Go
in the way CT raising corn, and it
is a showing that it will worry any

CHICAGO, July 29.-There was a soft and

today and inside an hour prices sagged &c

all of the news favored the "bears." The
volume of speculative business transacted
was under the average but at times trade
dragged, the close being tame at a net de-

&c, closed &c off.
But very little interest was manifested
in corn. Prices were trife easier, though
they showed but little change compared
with Saturday and were limited to 16GlI4c
range.
Oats were steadier, due to the wet
weather.
Quite an active trade was reported in
the market for pork and the feeling was
weak. Opening sales were made at &c
decline but the filling Of a few orders
caused rally. Later, however, prices de-
clined 15@20c, and near the close prices
rallied 719@10c, and the market closed
quiet.
A dull and unsettled feeling prevailed in
the lard market. On the whole range
prices receded 5@715c and the market
closed quiet at medium figures
Considerable interest was manifested in
the market for short ribs, but the feeling
was easy during the greater portion of the
day. Prices declined 50715c and closed
quiet at inside figures
