Extracts from the Report of Director Mar

With the seasonable weather
which prevailed throughout the
State last week farmers have made
considerable Roadway in sowing
oats, preparing land for corn and
gardens, and burning and sowing
tobacco-beds.
The sunshine and temperature as
well as the small amount Of precip-
itation, have been beneficial to
wheat, clover and grasses, and the
combined reports from all sections
of the State show that the. crop av-
erages in good condition. Wheat
that was sown with the drill is much
better than that sown in the old
way Glover is looking well, and

In Dyer County wheat has been
seriously damaged by wild geese.
Many of them have been killed and
soldin Dyersburgh.
Stock on the range are generally
thin, but in strong, healthy condi-
ton, and as the pastures improve
rapidly during the next few weeks.
Some Irish potatoes have been
planted and others are now plant
ing, but the general impression is
that the acreage devoted to potatoes
will be smaller this year than usual.
In West Tennessee strawberry
plants are in good healthy condi-
ton, and buds are beginning to
form. With favorable weather a
large crop viii be marketed.
Hardy vegetation has made rapid
growth during the past two weeks.
Forest trees are budding and some
peach trees are already in bloom.
These latter will, in all likelihood,
be killed by late fsests before ma
turing.
Very little progress has been
made in gardening thus far. The

LAST Monday, says the Martin
Mail, a genus homo, known as a
drummer, made himself very OBJ
noxious to a young lady traveller
between Mckenzie and Dresden,
whereupon she moved her seat to
another portion of the car, when he
followed her. Sheriff Lafon, see
ing the plight Of the young lady,
requested the drummer to cease his
attentions, in as mild a manner as
possible, but which the drummer
took exceptions to and he roundly
abused the sheriff, who threw out
his strong right arm and sent him
sprawling to the floor Of the car.
The people ON board in their de-
light yelled: "Hit him again. But
the blow was sufficient to quiet the
mruly drummer.

WEDNESDAY, records one OF the
strangest deeds ever committed in
this section or perhaps in the State,
says Decaturville special to the
Memphis Commercial. 1t was the
crime Of three boys committed upon
another, the 10-year-old son of a
widow. Young Davey, Is years Of
of age, and two Of John Reden's
boys, about ten years of age, while
under the influence of whisky, fell
upon the child above mentioned
and while the two REDEEM boys held
him Davey stabbed and cut the boy
in a fendish and brutal manner.
Davey was arrested and brought be-
fore Justice Singleton and bound
over to court to await the action Of
the grand jury. 1t is thought that
the child viii die, as his wounds
were not dressed until the loss Of
blood was perhaps too much forhim
tosurvive. The people record it as
one of the brutal crimes brought
about by whisky.

Pending consideration the house !
adjourned until $50 p. M, when Mr..
Upton argued against the William
commandment. The fault was not
in the law, he said, but with moth
ers and fathers who are so anxious
to have theiryoung daughtersmake
their debut in society and sit alone
in parlors until midnight, and often
with the vilest libertines. True
virtue was its own bulwark. He
said the shotgun remedy was the
best that will ever be invented for
the protection of virtue. In con-
clusion Mr.. Upton said he would
resign his seat in the house before
he would vote for the bill.
During the debate Mr. Yoe took
occasion to read the galleries and
ministers and women Of Tennessee
lecture. He said that they were
petitioning the assemblymentop pass

Of the judiciary committee for not
reporting it favorably, when they
did not know what it's provisions
were.

WILLIAM PoTEET, who was con-
victed few weeks ago of shooting
James Lissenby in Madison County
with the intent to commit murder,
and was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for fifteen years, has asked
for a new trial which will be heard
in the criminal court at Jackson
this week. The shooting created a
great deal of excitement at the time,
as both parties we're prominent as
farmers. Lissenby and Poteet had
a previous difficulty and were not
on the best of terms. On the day
Of the last August election Poteet
laid in ambush for Lissenby, and
as he passed returning from the
polls he shot at him with Win
chester rife, the ball taking effect
in Lissenby's back. The latter lin
gered between life and death for
several months, but finally recover
ed. IF the motion fc4 a new trial
is overruled, which is said to be
very likely, Poteees counsel viii
appeal to the supreme court.

Of daughters and granddaughters.
He would support the bill at 16
years, but not at Is years.
Mr.. Stratten thought it prepos-
ferrous for members to hold that a
girl knew as much atl2 years or IA
years as they did at Is years. The
bill was intended to protect woman
hood from the willy arts Of the Sc
ducer, and he would be willing to
put the age of consent at q years.
Mr.. Williams said he was father
of boys as well as girls, and he low
ed them as well. He wanted his
daughters protected up to the age
of IA years, but he would notin the
fear of God throw down the gates
of blackmail against his sons. He
would support the bill at 10 years,
but he could not support it at Is
years.
Mr.. Williford said he had can
'vassed the house heretofore and he
did not believe the bill would pass
at Is years. 1t was toiincrease its
chances of passage that he offered
to amend by inserting II. How

any age.
Mr.. Williford set the house TO
laughing by saying that he suppos-
ed every member of the house had
sister or sisters and & mother at
one time or another. Be thought
the present law should be amended,
and was for a bill fixing the age OF
consent,at Is, 16, II, Is, OF FL years.
Mr.. Voc said he was always in
favor Of good morals, but he would
not vote for a bill that would allow
a designing prostitute to induce his
boy into her house and make him q
felon, while she went free. He
claimed that its enactment would
be the means of filling our peni
tertiary or the law would be a null
lily because of the difficulty Of en-.
forcing it. He would cheerfully
vote for bill making seduction {
felony.
Mr.. Baker said the very discus
sion Of the bill showed the rotten
ness Of society. A boy and-girl art
guilty. The boy becomes hero il
society, and the girl goes into tn,
world with a veil over her eyes, al
outcast forever. If boys and mel
did not have the character to for

Strive for Better Quality.

The number of persons who "view
with alarm" the possibility of fruit
overproductien is not diminishing, nor
does it seem to be much on the in
crease. Whatever chance there may
be of an over supply of fruits, it iscer,
tain that there will always be nrst-
class market for fruits of fine grade.
If therefore those who fear overpro-
duction would talk less and do more to
improve the quality of California fruits,
they will add a mite toward increasing
the demand and widening the market
fer our fruits. There is little danger
of overproduction of first quality
fruits. Let US guard against Cutting
