DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 80, 1890
Reports from 600 correspondents, in
ninety-four counties of the State, of
average date May 20, form the basis
of the following review of the crop
situation
Almost continuous wet weather
has delayed farm work all through
the season of preparation and plant
ing. On the whole, except the dis
aster to the wheat crop, the outlook
is more favorable than at the same
date in 1889.
A month ago the wheat appeared
to be recovering from the effects of
the March freeze, but most of the
new branch shoots failed to make
any growth, so that even the best
fields look very thin. Short heads
upon slender stems at uneven
heights indicate a greatly reduced
yield, while the quality of the grain
is likely to be inferior because of the
early attack of rust upon the blades.
In the western and middle divisions
of the State there is much complaint
of the abundance of cheat. In the
wheat-growing counties of West
Tennessee the yield will probably be
60 per cent. of an average; in Mid
die Tennessee, SO per cent, and in
East Tennessee 68 per cent. A large
acreage of the spring-sown oat crop
has been abandoned; much of it will
be plowed down for other crops.
The corn crop is very late. In all
sections of the State planting was
unfinished at the date of the returns.
Very nearly as many acres are al
ready planted as in 1889.
Cotton promises much better than
at this date last year.
Except in the tobacco growing
counties of East Tennessee, where
the acreage of this crop is annually
increasing, not as many plants have
been set as usual by this date.
Favorable weather will enable plan
tiers to do this work rapidly now.
Tobacco lands are in fairly good con-
dltion, and much larger amount of
fertilizers will be used. The pros
pect is quite favorable.
A smaller acreage of potatoes in
the counties growing this crop for
market, with present conditions
much better than at this time year
ago, give hopes of profitable results.
The peanut area will be greatly in
creased. Most of the crop is now
planted.
A gratifying feature of this report
is the excellent condition of the
meadow and pasture lands, and the
fact that the area in hay grasses and
in permanent pasturage is increas-
ing.
The larger territory devoted to
fruits and vegetables is very encour-
aging. b. M. H0RD,
Commissioner

THE DICKSON RAILROAD.
Capt. Cobb Establishing Headquarters 10
Begin Work Next Week.

r. l.. Cobb, chief engineer for the
construction of the L. & N. railroad,
telegraphed Capt. Gracey this morn
ing instructions to rent an Office for
headquarters for the Dickson rail-
road. He will be here Monday and
will make preparations to begin work
at once on the road, which is to be
pushed through with all the energy
at command. The length of this
line is about thirty-five miles, but
Capt. Cobb says it will require more
miles of track in the necessary
switch lines than in the main line In
order to get into the iron banks, ac-
commodate the furnaces and other
enterprises. According to this calcu-
lation we shall have about eighty
miles of road built, which will re-
quire an expenditure of about ST.
500, 900 in this county within the next
year for railroad building. Add to
this $l5O,00O for furnace building,
$25, 900 for sewerage, $4,000 for the
cost of the Bending Works and
other buildings on hand, which alto.
gether will put $4,000, 900 extra capt.
tai in circulation in our trade, maxi
ing business lively. There is, how
ever, no reason for stopping at this.
Let GAINESVILLE redouble her energies
to bring other enterprises, and keep
on the aggressive, making rapid
strides in advancement.

An Aneodote On DR.. Hammer.

John w. Hammer was received on
trial in Tennessee Conference M. K.
church, in 1899. He quickly rose to
distinction as pulpit orator. Many
anecdotes of his pulpit power are
told by the preachers. Nobody en-
joys good preaching better than
preachers. 1t is related that when a
delegate for the first time to General
Conference, he was youthful in APP
pearance. The committee on public
worship asked DR.. Pitts whom of the
Tennessee delegation they must put
up at an important hour. Pitts said
Hammer. They objected that he
was too young, but Pitts assumed all
responsibility; so Hammer was APP
pointed. Tradition goes ON to say,
that Pitts went to Hammer and
said "Hanner, you must do some
big preaching to-day. I'm going to
sit in the pulpit with you, and when
you get off like want you to, I'll
say Amen You must keep climb
ing until l say Amen" When the
appointed hour came, Hammer
preached, and had not proceeded far
in his discourse till from the rear
came the loud Amen of Pitts that
set the young orator on fire. Flight
followed flight of eloquence, until
the whole body of the Conference
were entranced, and Pitts tumbled
over in delight saying: "Hanner
can beat them all"

farmers against the artificial dear
ness caused by the tariff has never
been realized. 1t is always threat.

idea that the new American tariff is
a blow at Canadian independence is
as absurd as the talk of excited peo-
pie here who Historically declare
chat it is in tended as an attack upon
England. Few signs exist yet that
Americans are awakening to the un-

Miss Mary Fearn.

WAsHINGToN, October S.-The New
York Sun says this morning: The
marriage of Miss Mary Fearn to Mr..
Hunnebelle, of Briton, France, is an
international episode arranged for the
near future. She is the eldest daugh-
ter of Hon. Walker Fearn, late minis
ter to Greece under President Cleve-
land, was born in New Orleans, and
is both beautiful and clever. During
her fathers official position abroad,
Miss Fearn succeeded in making the
American legation at Athens one of
the most attractive on the continent.
Carmen sylvia, queen of Roumania,
honored the young southerner with
every mark of consideration, and,
indeed, insisted upon her presence
for prolonged visits at the royal pal
ace.
1t was last spring, however, while
pursuing a course at SOmerville col.
lege, Oxford, that Miss Fearn met
her tiance. He is rich and good
looking, and, like all the smart young
Frenchmen, is a devout anglomaniac.
Mr.. Hunnebelle is a recent graduate
of Ballot college, the famous master
of which will Officiate at the wedding,
to. take place in the chapel this
autumn.

A Remarkable Preacher.

READING, Pa, October S.-Another
remarkable demonstration was given
tonight by Rev. John d. Kaufman,
the sleeping preacher, at the house of
Nicholas Summers, near the Gap,
Lancaster county. Hundreds came
from miles around to hear his two
hours discourse. About Z o'clock he
went into a trance and became rigid.
1t was strange sight to see him ly-
ing on lounge stiff and apparently
unconscious. No pricking by needles
could awaken him.
When all was ready his body at
tendant and the preachers wife rails
ed him up. Then he began his scrip
tural topics, generally walking about,
sound asleep, his bodyguard follow
ing him closely to prevent him run
ming against furniture or falling down
stairs. After preaching half an hour,
ne knelt and offered prayer in a
language no one could understand.
Then he fell forward on his face and
was apparently lifeIess, but was rails
ed up again and con tinued his preach
ing. No one present questioned the
fact of the man being in trance.
When he revives he processes to know
nothing of what he said.
