MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.



The weather crop bulletin of the Mis-
sissippl weather service for the past week
is as follows: 4
The temperature for the past week has
| been below the normal, decidedly SO dur
ing the early part, when the State was
| affected by the cold wave that reached its
greatest severity on the Goth, and it was
| not until the two closing days of the week
| that seasonal temperatures were recorded.
| The sunshine received was about an aver
| age amount.
The latest reports as to damage by
| cold weather of the 18th to 2lst corrobor-
ate the statements made i'll the preceding
| bulletins. Stands of cotton and corn were
| thinned in the northern half Of the State;-
| and frosts were more general than at that
| time reported. A general rctardation or
all growth was produced and crops are
only recently beginning to recuperate.
In Northern and North Central Missis-
sippi the weeks rainfall fell scattering
| and was insufficient for plant life.
heavy hail-storm was reported from De
Soto county, where it beat down some
cotton and corn, but with this exception,
the elements were mild The nights have
been too cool for vegetation, and lice have
appeared in cotton as n result of the cold
spell. Where rains fell the crops have
held up, and even improved during the
past two days of warm weather. but in
drouthy districts they have been at
complete standstill. and no plowing and
but little hoeing can be done with benefit
until it rains. The early oat crop is being
harvested, with poor yields, Corn has
better appearance than any other product.
Gardens are pronounced poor, on account
of insufficient moisture. General rains
are needed in this section. Fields are
for the most part clean.
In the south central districts moderately
heavy and well-distributed showers have
been beneficial, and in the coast country
general rains on the 23d and 9th soaked
the soil and broke a prolonged drouth IN
many places. Farmers in the southern
section are well-peased with the weeks
weather and say that the present status
of all crops is excellent The only damage
from the cool spell was a temporary in
terruption of growth, together with few
reports of lice in cotton in the northern
portions of this section. The return to
warmer weather, accompanied by abund-
ant showers, has sufficiently recompensed
them for these drawbacks. Cotton, corn
and rice in the extreme south are doing
well, and the vegetable market is kept
well supplied. The oat crop thus far is
generally poor, but a little better than in
the northern portion of the State All
crops are pretty clear of weeds.

At a meeting OF the Historical society. the

Summer NOrnnIS.

State Superintendent of Public Educa.
tion j. II. Preston is very enthusiastic
over the outlook for the various summer
normal schools. Applications are pouring
In from al portions of the State. He esti-
mates that the attendance will more than
double that of last year At the last
normals he announced that he predicted
an attendance of double that of last year.
and that he would succeed in securing Il
one-fare rate ON the railroads. He has
seen enough to satisfy him that the first
prediction will undoubtedly come true,
and believes the other will also. He has
already secured a one-fare rate on the en-
tire Illinois Central system, and Il one
fare rate on the only normal to be held
on the line Of the Mobile 4 Ohio railroad
that at Bonneville. He is in correspond
ence with the other lines and believes he
will be alike successful with them. He is
not hampered this year for the lack of
funds as he was last. The Legislature
got in n liberal mood and voted an appro-
priaton of 81 800 to pay expenses, and
besides this the various localities where
the normals are to be held have donated
purse of S62J. The appropriation of
the Peabody fund is $1,000, giving him a
total of s.. 40, quite enough, he thinks,
to do the subject justice, but not too
much. In the various normals the assist
ance of fifty Instructors will be required
and most of them being experts in nor
NAL work, require good pay. The follow
ing are the dates III which they will be
held at the points named:
Bonneville, June 4; University of Mis-
sissipp, June H. Lake Camp Grounds,
June %; Wesson and Port Gibson, each
on July H. The above are the white nor
mails. The coored normals will be held
on the following dates: Tougaloo and
Holly Springs, each June 1; Aberdeen and
Greenville, each on June 25.

A number of the citizens of Corinth
last week, under the leadership Of Maj.
&. W. Bynum. Capt. Il. Henderson and
Mike Burns. disinterred the remains of
number of Confederate soldiers who fell
in the charge on Fort Robincttc that

charge. A committee was appointed 10
collect the bones Of all they can and give
them decent burial, and during the sum-
mer some time the Albert Sidney Johnson
Camp will hold memorial services in honor
Of their fallen comrades. None but the
large bones of the bodies could be found.
The teeth, buttons and suspender buckles
were in n good state of preservation, but
their shoes and contents were of course
badly decayed. In one of the large bones
battered minnie ball was lodged. The
old soldiers of Corinth intend building a
monument to perpetuate the memory of
these brave men. They already have a
small amount rs nucleus to ada to.
