careful farmer will give his per-
sonal attention to the feeding of
his livestock, and make it rule
that no corn shall be taken from

Sheep still decrease in number,

CROP REPORT.


dition of agricultural products in
the State has been issued by State
Commissioner b. M. Hord:
The final crop report for the year
is made up from returns from
eight hundred and eleven CORE
spondents. These returns are of
date Nov. 20, and with less than
twenty exceptions, were written
andmailed promptly upon that day.
The figures given in the following
review of the crop situation have
been carefully revised, and it is be-
lieved that they are very close
estimates Of the total yields of the
crops mentioned.
The total yield Of corn, grown
upon 3,410,526 acres, is estimated
to be 55,269,S65 bushels, about 2
per cent below the estimate of one
month ago. Of this total about 81
per cent, or 100000 bushels,
may be classed as understandable,
and of this understandable corn
nearly one-half is so badly DANA
ged as to be unfit for any purpose
whatever. Great care must be us
ed in feeding out the corn In the
cribs, not only to be given to horses
and mules and cattle, but that fed
to the stock pigs.
The cotton crop, the product of
821,019 acres, is estimated to be
344,346 bales of 465 pounds net
each, of which West Tennessee
(including that part of Hardin
County east Of the river), BOZ, 4O5
bales; in Middle Tennessee anC
including small area in East Ten

"Now see ME startle him." said
Smart Aleck, as he swung his arm

The distance was only about a
hundred feet, and his aim was so
true that the potato landed on the
natives head with a dull thud.
His motions were so quick that we
couldn't agree as to how he did it,
but IN about three seconds he had

revolver as long as his arm, and
fired at Smart Aleek. The bullet
bored a hole in his silk hat Just

The. Miscellaneous Record.
The most striking feature of the chro-
nology of theyear 1SS9is the record of dis
asters by flood and fire; the most inter-
esting feature of that of 1888 was the
record of politics; that of 1887, deaths of
eminent persons; 1886, strikes. The list
of financial crimes for 1889 is rather
more lengthy than usual, and most of
the important matter that may be prop
erly classified under this head will be
found in the columns that follow. No at
tempt has been made to record the great
mass of crimes against human life or
mortality; such as are put down are
given space only because of some excep-
tional interest manifested by the public
therein at the time of Transportation.
Old Mortality's hand has not been idle
by any means, but the number of deaths
Of eminent persons recorded is rather be-
low the average.
In politics the chief matters of interest
have been the appointments incident
upon the change of the administration
OF the United States government.
In America there has been compare
lively little to record in the history Of
labor agitations, most of the important
strikes having been in England and on
the European continent.
