A Little Girls Experience In A
Lighthouse.
Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Prescott are keep
ers Of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand
Beach, Mich. and are blessed with a
daughter, four years old. Last April she
was taken down with measles, followed
with dreadful cough and turning into
a fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit
treated her, but in vain, she grew worse
rapidly, until she was mere handful
of bones. Then she tried DR.. King s
New Discovery and after the use of two
and half bottles, was completely cured.
They say DR.. Kings New Discovery is
worth its weight in gold, yet you may
get trial bottle free at M. A. Sheldrup's

The Circus.

Ringing Brothers menagerie and circus
attracted the largest crowd ever gath
cred in Sank Centre-estimated at 5000.
The ticket taker at the door, who is one
OF the proprietors, is authority for the
statement that there were oyer 1000
people in the mammoth tent during the
afternoon performance-and it is safe to
say there was not one dissatisfied person
in the crowd. It was an excellent circus
from start to finish, without single
tedious or uninteresting feature in the
program. Furthermore everything OBJ
jectionable to even the most fastidious-
too common in the average circus-had
been carefully eliminated, and it was
clean and pure. The ring performance
was good. many new and startling
features being introduced. The hippo
drome, or racing portion of the program
was an enjoyable attraction, and was
heartily applauded. The element OF
coarseness was conspicuous by its alb
sence-the management evidently being
intent upon giving an entertainment
which is absolutely unexceptionable.
Another pleasing feature was the fact
that there was no tough crowd hanging
around, either inside or outside. No
gambling or catch-penny fakes were
tolerated, no complaints heard of unfair
or questionable practices of any kind
perfect order and decorum was main
tanned throughout. The attendants
were pleasant, courteous and affable,
and conducted themselves with perfect
decorum. There was an air of rest and
contentment about the show, the very
actors executing their parts as though
it was pleasure. The equipment was
bright, the horses fat and sleek, and the
animals of the menagerie itself seemed to
think that they were in great luck in fall.

Brothers are great showmen. and run a

THE COTTON CROP.

It's Condition and State Averages rs
Shown by the July Report of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, July 11.--The July re-
turns to the department of agriculture
show some improvement in cotton con-
dition during the month of June. The
general average for the whole breath
has advanced 3 points, standing $50.
This is three points below the July re-
turn of last year and above that of
1889. In but four seasons since 1874 has
the July returns been so low. The
slight Improvement noted has been
quite general throughout the whole
belt, the result of favorable weather
during the month. The crop is univer-
sally late, ranging locally from a few
days to two weeks or more. In the At
Iantic and eastern Gulf states especial
ly the plant is small and backward,
and lack of suitable weather
for chopping out has made the
fields very grassy. termination
was slow and imperfect and replanting
failed to secure perfect stands. Local
ly considerable areas have been plowed
up and given to other crops or aban-
uoned entrely. FROM Mississippi west
ward the plant, while somewhat back
ward, is of good color making
generally vigorous growth, while
plantations running sufficient
number of plows are reasonably
clean. There is some complaint of
lack of labor. The outlook in Texas is
especially good, the plant vigorous,
fields well worked and fruiting begun.
Worms are reported from but two coun-
ties. both in Texas, not even an inva-
sion of the first brood being noted any
where else. The lateness of the plant
will make the final outcome unusually
dependent upon the length of the sea-
son. The returns of condition by states
are as follows: Virginia, 80; North
Carolina, ~; South Carolina, so, Geor-
gia, s5;- Florida, 81; Alabama, 81; Mis-
sissippi, 81; Louisiana, 90; Texas, 95;
Arkansas, 90; Tennessee, 50.

THE question has been raised as to
whether Comptroller Allen is entitled
to the commission of ~ per cent. he
has been receiving for collecting the
State tax on railroads. He was given
the fee under the law of 1887, but it is
claimed that the law of 1889 does not
provide for the commission which Mr..
Allen has retained. He says he con-
suited Attorney-General Picke1 and re-
tanned it by his advice. The commits
sion amounts to about 81, 800 per annum.
1t was developed by the investigation
that Mr.. Allen places the tax as col
lected to his personal account as Comp
troller, and only turns it over to the
State Treasurer as it is needed. The
State has occasionally borrowed money
when Mr.. Allen had railroad tax in his
hands, but he claims the necessity to
borrow did not arise from his failure to
pay over He receives no interest and

A Mysterious Man.

MnAN, July 1O.-For several days
past reports have been received here
that demented man was aimlessly
wandering in the woods near Hope Hill,
about six miles northeast of here. Upon
investigation it is found that the man
is not demented, and does not appear so
from his conversation. He is dressed
in neatly fitting suit Of broadcloth OF
the latest cut, derby hat, patent
leather shoes and other attire indicat-
ing the man to be from the city. This
curious personage has been camping in
the woods near Hope Hill, not allowing
a white man to approach him at all
and seeming to fear their presence, al
though he is not opposed to children
visiting him. A few evenings since the
man went to the cabin of a negro and
engaged in long conversation, inquir-
ing minutely as to the country, people,
etc. He had buokled around him five
rev divers of the latest improved pattern,
and murderous-looking butcher knife,
and presented very warlike appear
ance. He told the negro that he was a
bounded man, and that he would die
before the cursed officers should cap
tere him, and exhibited roll of bills
of large denomination, which, from APP
pearances, would make large amount.
He also stated that he had the weight
of eight lives resting on his soul, leav-
ing the impression that he had made
away with that number.
Not long since advices, accompanied
by photograph of Marsh, the Phila-
delphia defaulter, were received at
advising the authorities to be
on the lookout, and from the descrip-
t on of his clothes, appearance, etc.,
many thought that the great absconder
had been run to earth, and were count
ing on a large reward. But this willy
individual, learning that efforts would
be made to capture him, left few
nights since, no one knowing where.

NASHVILLE, July 12.-The rain
fall for the week was slightly above
the normal, and was pretty fairly dis
tributed. There was a considerable ex-
cess in some portions of the eastern and
middle divisions, and the rains of the
9th was accompanied with high winds.
which did some damage to the corn crop
where they prevailed. The early part
Of the week was characterized by low
temperature and the entire week was
cool. The percentage of sunshine was
rather below the normal.
Wheat thrashing was considerably de-
1ayed by the rains during the first
three days of the week, but has pro-
gressed favorably since. Some injury
is reported by dampness in shock, and
drv weather is now needed. The yield
so far reported seems to be good. al
though there is fall off from expecta-
tions of a month ago.
Corn was never better in condition
and prospects. The late rains haye
given the crcp wonderful impetus OF
growth. Slight damage by the wind
storm of the 9th is reported. There is
much late corn in cultivation and farm
ers are kept busy in keeping it clean.
Tobacco is reported growing well, and
is In fine condition. The oat crop is
short and will not average more than
half crop. Cotton is considerably be-
low the average condition, owing to the
unfavorable season. The late rains
caused it to take an abnormal growth,
and the result in many places is spind-
ling plants. Favorable seasons and
late frost will be necessary for its out
come. The Irish potato crop has been
mostly gathered. The yield is consid-
erably below expectations
