Nevada Crops.

The APPEAL Is indebted to the
Nevada State Weather Service for
the following:
In looking over the reports from
the different parts of Nevada, one
cannot but be impressed with the
general prosperity of the State from
an agricultural standpoint. Grains
of all kinds are about an average
crop, in several counties more than
usual was harvested. Potatoes were
exceedingly good, in some counties
the yield was far above the normal,
especially was this the case in the
northwestern part of Nye, where 10
tons to the acre was harvested.
Fruit, not including apples, was only
partially successful, owing to the
late frosts. These frosts, occurring
as late as the latter part of June, did
great deal of damage, not only to
fruit but to other staples as well.
With the southern portion of Lincoln
county, near the Colorado river,
peaches and apriocots were an entire
failure. The cold aud back ward
spring greatly retrated blowing and
seeding, and the almost universal
drought during July dried up the
grass and caused some suffering
among stock. Rain during this
month also injured the hay crop; but
this is an average yield with the ex-
ception Of the second crop of alfalfa,
which was all but failure. Stock is
in fair condition, and while the in
crease has not been what was expect
ed, the ipss was less than last year.
Ssockmen are slowly recovering from
the terrible Winter of three years
apo. phsn the loss of stock was estl>
mated 10 havs been fifty per cent.

YOUNG FAIRS MARRIAGE,

The marriage of Senator Fairs
son to a woman of the half world has
been accorded great deal of pub
llcity by the newspapers.
Young Fair married the woman in
the usual form and all the civil and
ecclesiastical laws were fully observed
in the matter.
The affair only concerned the
groom and bride and was something
In which the public was in no wav a
party.
The reasons for the alliance made
by Fair with his present wife were
nobodys business but his own and
the newspapers should have treated
IL as purely personal matter in
which the contracting parties were
the only ones concerned.
No one has right to question the
motives of the couple and the press
should be prohibited by law from
raking up the past record of any
woman who assumes the Obligations
of matrimony.
Fair has led a wild life; a life of
continuous dissipation. 1t is barely
possible that woman will reform his
habits and make better man of
him.
Happen what may he can't be
made any worse than he has been
and the fact that his acts and his
wlfe's acts are no ones business but
their own, is one that cannot be sue
cessfully disputed. The publicity
given by the press to the marriage is
cowardly and disgraceful.

The total amount Of these accommodation notes Is
