The recent heavy rains have very much re-
tarded the farmers of this section in farm
operations Notwithstanding the fact that
tobacco plants are abundant, but little was
planted this season. as the ground was not
prepared. The outlook for the wheat crop in
this section is good. But little grass will be
cut as the crop was materially injured by the
dry weather of SIX weeks ago.

Say of Them.
The Daily American. of Nashville, Tenn,
contains in its issue of May 18th an account
of the commencement exercises of Wards
Seminary and long extract from the com
mencement sermon which was preached hy
DIR. Robert p. Kerr. pastor of the First Pres

says:
The pulpit was occupied by the pastor.
Rev. Jere WitherspOon. DIR. Charles the new
president of Wards, and the Rev Mr.. Kerr,
of Richmond Va.
During the past thirty DAYS Richmond
has sent two brilliant men TO Nashville.
Mr.. Kerr is the other. Mr.. Page may be
classed as a genius. or at least as an or
iginal: Mr.. Kerr is a representative of the
scholarship and eloquence that characterize
the clergy Of the Presbyterian Church. He
delivered a discourse, the purport of which
was the elevation of the thought of the young
minds TO whom it was addressed in the man
ner and with the language OF aman accustom-
ed to view life. and particularly the life and
destiny of woman. from a standpoint of lofty
purity IN moral sense and intensely spiritual
in tendency and practice. His language was
rhythmic and stepped in refined euphony. and
in the spirit of his delivery he probed the
sublimity of the example which the great
apostle of the religion of love left among men.
Taking the third verse of the twelfth
chapter of st. John. he chose for his text the
act Of Mary in her Offering of precious oil
with which she bathed the feet of the Master
and then dried them with that which the
scripture has pronounced one of woman's
glories, the golden locks of her head

Scramble for Offices.

There will be great scramble for places

have a great deal of patronage to bestow,
ranging from pages and labOrers at 5000 4
year to clerks at $500. The hours of labor
are short, and berth will ut the lowest be
good for two years longer if the Democrats
keep il power There will be at least Il
dozen applicants for each position, and as
there are more Democratic congressman
than there are appointments to bestow,
much disappointment and heartache is sure
to follow. George W. Lac of FL Paso, one

defense in 4 very able manner.
