MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Exhibits for sloux City.

The great exhibit Of the Yazoo & Mis-
,issipui Valley road left last week for
the Interstate Fair at Sioux City, Ia
The exhibit fills four cars and is very
comprehensive.
Everything comprising it goes from
the famous Yazoo delta, and the rail-
road people and citizens generally have
combined to make it great success.
There is not product of the delta
that is not represented in the four cars.
The staples are all there, and among
other things are great big eighty-pound
watermelons and pumpkins that Will
put to shame every pretentious North
western pumpkin raiser that visits the
Sioux City fair. Not only the visitors
there, but thousands Of people right
here in this section will be surprised to
hear Of watermelon vinegar. Never
theless, that very article goes, and they
say il makes the old monopolistic apple
turn even greener with envy at what
promises to prove its strong rival. For
many years it was thought that Louisi-
ana molasses cane could not be raised
successfully north of Baton Rouge, but
now it is grown, and fine molasses Is
made, in the section just north Of Vicks-
burg. This remarkable and proht-prom-
ising fact will be presented TO the
Northwesterners by fine exhibit Of
cane taken from the fields just north Of
that city. Some very fine APPLES and
other fruits are in the exhibit, as we'll
as samples OF all small products grown
in the delta. L. ]. Butler OF the Yazoo
& Mississippi land department accom-
panies the cars, and will preside over
the exhibit which will occupy 10000
square feet of the floor space.
In addition to this exhibit, another
car left Centreville, which is purely the
result OF the citizens enterprise in that
town. 1t will be in charge Of DIR. Robert.

Weather and Crops.

Vicksburg, Oct. 3.-The weather-crcp
bulletin Of the Mississippi weather ser
vice for the past week is as follows:
The past week has been rainless one
in this State. The days were warm, the
nights cool and sunshine almost con.
tinuous. More favorable weather for
the staple crops could not have been
possible. The dry weather and hot sun.
shine caused rapid opening of cotton
bolls, but the pickers were busy and the
nelds were not allowed to whiten.
Work was not interrupted for an hour
during the entire week by untoward
weather conditions. Today cloudiness
is beginning to accumulate slightly in
the State, giving promise of showers.
possibly by Thursday, but the chances
are that the coming week will witness
hne progress in the picking of cotton,
and any interruption in that line Of
work will be but brief. In response IN
call from this Office, our correspond-
ents have reported as to the amount Of
cotton remaining ungathered on Oc-
tober LIST. A careful summary of their
replies indicates that about rs per cent
oil the crop is still in the fields, and that
but little over half Of the 25 per cent
gathered has yet reached market
Corn is nearly all gathered mostly L.
good condition, except in sections where
wet weather earlier in the season i'm.
paired the quality. Owing to the same
cause the amount of fodder saved this
year Will in most districts be less than
usual. "'
Hay harvest during the week has 70.
suited in a good crop of excellen,
quality.
minor crops continue to do we'll. but
are now beginning to need rain. '''
