Condition of the Cotton Crop.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The
June report of the agricultural
department on the condition of
the cotton crop is very discour-
aging. The acreage is placed
at 97.7 per cent of the area Of
last year and the average con-
dition is S5.7 of that of 80 The
reduction of area is attributed
in some districts to concerted
contraction on account of low
prices, but it is evidently due
principally to unfavorable con-
ditions for planting and ger
minaticn.
The areas as compared with
those of last year are as follows:
Virginia, SO; North Carolina,
96; South Carolina, SO; Georgia,
95; Florida, 30; Alabama, SO;
Mississippi, 95; Louisiana, SO;
Texas, los; Arkansas, SO; Ten
nessee, 95.
The general condition is the
lowest for June since 1874,
thought it is only a fraction
lower than that of 1888 and
1889, the latter a year of good
yield through favorable later
conditions. The state averages
of condition are: Virginia, rs;
North Carolina, rs; South Car
olina. so: Georgia, 80; Florida,
80; Alabama, 50; Mississippi, ss;
louisiana, sS: Texas 91; Arkan-
sas, IS; Tennessee, 20.

Try q Change.

A well-known medical auth
ority is so strong an advocate of
change that he says: "Change
your climate if you can; if you
cannot do that, change your
house, failing your house,
change your room, and if not
your room, then rearrange your
furniture" If possible every
family should go away once a
year for a months stay under
different surroundings; if this
is not possible, changes of a
week at a time will probably
save you a doctors bill il you
have become "run down" in
health. Make as many expedi-
tions as you can during the
summer; go once a week if pos
sible and you will find them
more efficacious to build up the
strength than any tonic that can
be administered If possible get
different food for the family at
such times than they are daily
accustomed to, even if it is not
as delicate. A change of food
will often stimulate a jaded ap-
petite. When children or grown
people begin to lose appetite
and seem listless, better than a
stock of tonic for blood is a visit
at a distance where there is a
complete change of scene and
food.

What a sight it is to pass

Many of the toilers in the
South occupy humble cabins,
but they have an abundance of
fresh air, which is not the case
with those who inhabit the
densely crowded tenement quar-
ter of the chief city in the coun-

Buy a Lor.

On ali sides in Durham may
be seen new houses going up.
Some of them are handsome
residences, not temperate struct-
ures. The town is steadily and
solidly growing into a city.
Rapidly, we might truly say,
the site marked by nature is be-
ing utilized for the purpose for
which it was plainly intended
1t is growing not upon a specu-
lative but upon an actual basis
of values. Lots are quoted at
their intrinsic wOrth-a basis
not dependent upon the future
but upon the present. The man
building himself a home may
feel sure shat it will never be
worth less than its cost to him,
but reasonably certain that at
the lowest he will receive in
valuation increased at least
compound interest. There can
be no safer investment any
where than in buying lots here
and putting up houses on them
for rent or sale. 4 certain in
come or profit is guaranteed.
Despite all the building going
on, the demand is far from sat
isfied. 1t continues to increase.
This is a fine field for a capitalist
to purchase a number
Of lots. build on them and make
a large profit. There is no bet
ter point in the South. Dur.
ham is going ahead and will
continue to do so
On the 7th, Sth and 9th of
next month the Consolidated
Land and improvement Com
pany will offer two hundred lots
at auction. These lots are ad-
iaceut to Trinity Park. in easy
access Of the street railway, and
this will be a chance for those

General again petitioned Judge Bacon for

obtained, and the two became engaged.
When his leave of absence had expired he
went back to duty, and did not return until
a few days before their marriage, February
8, 1864.
After year in Texas. where the General
had command of division of Western cav
airy and was afterward made Chief Of Cav
airy, marching to Austin, where he sup
ported the Governor and the new State
organization in restoring order to that de-
mOraiized region, the Clusters returned TO
Michigan in 1866. The autumn of that year
found them in Kansas, where the General
assumed charge of the Seventh (regular)
Cavalry, to which be had been assigned,
and there they remained for five years, dur
ing which time Mrs. Custer was the only
officers wife who always followed the regi-
ment. During these years General Custer
was on frequent expeditions in pursuit of
the Indians in Indian Territory, Colorado,
New Mexico, Nebraska and Wyoming.
After two years in Kentucky the General
was sent TO the frontier again, going to Da-
kota in the spring of 1873 and here, three
years later, the brave General lost his life
in an expedition against the Sioux.
What Mrs Custer saw and experienced
in these years, during which she was al
most constantly her husbands close COM
panion, it would take volumes to describe.
On the frontier, in Dakota, Mrs. Custer
was always in peril OF her life There was
a tacit understanding and agreement among
General Custer and the officers of bis regi-
ment that IL al any time the party was sur
prised by the Indians and capture seemed
imminent whoever had Mrs Custer In his
care was to shoot her instantly to save her
from the incalculably greater suffering OF
torture by her marcilesS capt0rs.
