WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
Week Ending April IL, 1890.

No rain is reported for the week,
except in the extreme South and South
east. The temperature has been about
the average, excepting in the Northern
parts, where it has been slightly be-
low. Sunshine has been abundant
everywhere. Cool, dry portherly
winds have prevailed over the North
ern parts of the State.
These conditions have been favor
able in many sections where lands had
been too wet for planting, but the
weather was too dry and cool gener-
ally for planted corn and cotton. No
injury or serious delay has yet result-
ed, and the temperature Is higher, with
indications of rain at the close of the
week.
Considerable progress has been made
in planting, where this work had been
delayed by unfavorahle weather
Vegetation, especially forest growth
has made steady progress,
All stations report no rainfall, ex.

many throw care aside, when the days
business is over, and sleep sweetly and
s0undly knowing nothing Of the per-
turbed hours and disturbed rest of
those in public positions of great re-
spOnsibility, on whose sufficiency and
fidelity the welfare and happiness of
society largely depends. The many
are patriotic, undoubtedly, for it is
their interest to be. There has been,
and there is, such thing as patriotism

to serve their country, surprising as
this announcement may now be regard

Though the multitude were re-
preached for following Christ, for the
loaves of which they had eaten, there
were yet some who sought him from
higher motives than the loaves and
fishes. Though of the ten leapers
healed by him. nine failed to return to
give him thanks, that was his due and
their duty, there was one, who was
mindful of his obligation. And al
though the per eentum Of those actu-
ated by proper motives and mindful
of their just obligation may still, as Of
old, be small; there are yet some who
desire public Office to render service
to their country and Mr.. Davis was
q conspicuous example of this small
class, it may be, but which certainly
exists.
His consistent adherence to principle
was strikingly exhibited by his refusal
of a brigadier.genera commission at
the hands of the President of United
States, because, he held the view, that
commissions ofofficers of the volunteer
forces should come from the States
and during all his administration as
President he confined himself strictly
within the constitution and laws, thus
illustrating by example what he had
contended for.
| His firmness was mistaken by many
for obstinacy, and he was sometimes
reproached for persistent adherence to
his own convictions as to the conduct
of affairs. Such was the earnestnes:
of his nature, the strength and sinceri
ty Of his convictions, the stability o.
his character, and the steadfastness o.
his views, that he was slow to yield tC
any suggested change in that on which
he had deliberately resolved.
He had fine person-a splendi(
bearing that commanded attention
