The Crops.
NASHVILLE, Oct 4-The weather dur
ing the past week has been generally
favorable to the farmer. Light showers
have occurred Ut intervals which kept
the ground in excellent condition, but
were at no time heavy enough to seri-
ously retard farm work. Low tempera.
ture prevailed during the first few days
of the week and light frosts occurred in
portions Of Obion County on the morn.
ing of September 26, but no damage was
done to vegetation of any kind.
Wheat sowing has now become quite
general, but it is the general verdict
that the acreage will be greatly les
sened this fall on account of the low
prices brought by the present crop.
Some winter oats have also been sown.
Cotton picking is in progress. The
crop is fairly good in some localities,
but on the whole it will fall far below
the average. In many places cotton has
suffered from the effects Of rust and the
recent rains.
Peanuts are almost complete failure
In the main belt. The vines are full OF
empty shells. Over half Of the crop was
destroyed by the drouth and now much
damage is being done by the rains.
Most of the early tobacco has been cut
and saved. 1t was rather poor in quail
ity, having ripened prematurely. In
the northeastern counties the tobacco is
fairly good, but in the central portion
of the State it is very poor in quality,
and the yield is much below the normal.
There is still large portion Of the crop
in the field, which will require about
two weeks, free from frost, to enable it
to mature. If no damaging frosts occur
this will be very good.
Pastures are very fine and stock is
generally in excellent health and condi-
ton. Hog cholera has made its appear
ance' in portions Of Obion and Cooke
counties. 1t seems to be worse in the
latter county. Some fatal disease has
broken out among the cattle in the
southern portion OF Hickman County.
Turnips have made but little progress
during the past week; they are gener-
ally rather small. Late sweet potatoes
are not good and their yield will fall
about so per cent below the average.
Sorghum making has continued during
the week, and while some complain OF
the quantity and quality, the general
average is about normal.

Dlsapproved the Purchase.

The fact that Gov. Turney disapproved
the purchase Of the Franklin County
land selected by the penitentiary COM
mission as suitable and we'll adapted
place on which to erect the main prison
OF the State penitentiary has giverroom
for more speculation. The Governor
rejected the proposition on the ground
that the price was exorbitant, and that
greedy syndicate was making a-good
thing out of the State.
The amount named in the report Of
the committee was 100000 for 1900
acres, or about $40 per acre. The main
point in the Governors rejection was
that too much money was being paid to
an intervening party, or middle men,
and he did not propose to let idle specu-
lators get thoir hands in the States
pocket.
1t must be remembered, however, that
his excellency does not attach any blame
to the commission, as they were guided
or misguided, as the case may be, by
eminent authorities on the value OF
Franklin County land.
Now the syndicate comes forward with
another and quite different proposition.
They propose to convey to the State the
1900 acres OF the 1,756 acre tract for the
total cost Of the whole thing, giving
them profit Of 25o acres Of land. The
syndicate is probably in the same situa-
tion as the man who drew the elephant,
for they say further that should the Gov
ernor think this profit exorbitant they
will turn the 1856 acres over to the
State at actual cost.
The Governor has written to the
Franklin County land syndicate that he
has no power to accept an offer from
them. They must refer tho matter to
the penitentiary committee.
1t is not believed he will approve any
contract giving prison to Franklin
County.

Miscellaneous.

TEE barn burners have begun opera
ticns in the Pinson community, in the
southern part Of Madison County. Their
latest outrage was to burn the barn and
stables, a pair Of mules, fifty barrels of
corn and considerable amount Of hay
and fodder belonging to Dick Davis, o
quiet citizen, who was away from home.
He was not insured. One or two tough
citizens are suspected. The people OF
the community are on the alert, and If
any moro burnings occur 1t is likely the
rascals will be caught and vigorously
dealt with.

The sidewalks of Scranton are in a
d%eplorable condition and cone far
short of complying with the town Or
dinances regulating ths same. The
law requires that 'thc sidewalks
shall be made Of plank, gravel, ce.
ment, sand or any material capable Of
being made hard and Of asmooth sur
face which law has been openly and
%hagrantly ignored since the day it
wag first pcnned. The walks are M
even and rough, and during wet
weather most of them are utterly i'm
passible, IA disgrace to the town and a
reflection on the administrators OF
the towns affairs. And even obstruc-
tions to walks are allowed to remain
for days. The city authorities should
occasionally read over their ordinan-
ces, and decide to enforce them or
repeal those they do not enforce.
They should not be too lenient with
matters which entail responsibility
and observance by themselves.
