MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Weather and Crop.

The weather crop bulletin of the Mis-
sissippi weather service, for the past
week, is as follows:
The past weeks has been generally
favorable for Mississippi crops. Iu the
interior counties, where good, soaking
rains fell, it is pronounced the most ia
vorable week of the season. Beneficial
showers were general over the central
and southern divisions, and fairly general
north, yet limited districts in the Delta
and upper counties, and even as far south
as Madison, continue dry The tempera-
ture for the state at large averaged
below normal. In the north there was
a slight excess, but in the central and
southern portions the daily deficiency
averaged from l to 3 degrees below the
normal. The sunshine was also deficient,
although the amount received was suf.
ficient for growth.
The reports from the northern section
are not unanimously fayorite, owing to
the unequal distribution of moisture. Cot
ton looks well, even in the rainless tracts.
and about the only cause for complaint
is the unfayorable state Of gardens and
old corn. Cotton continues small, but is
clean and well fruited. Lice have en-
trely disappeared and disappearing with
out doing the slightest damage. Young
corn looks splendid and has improved
greatly under the influence of the rains.
Old corn on thin lands is reported almost
beyond redemption, but there is yet q
chance for fair crop in rich soil. The
laying by OF the crop is approaching an
| end. Irish and sweet potatoes have given
poor yields thus far; many sweet potato
| slips are being now transplanted while
the wet weather prevails. The rains have
started grass in all crops, and field work
will need be more arduous than hereto
fore in order to keep the crops clean.
In the central and southern sections.
moisture, temperature and sunshine have
| all been favorable, and crops are looking
well. Cotton is growing nicely, though
| the plant is small. Blooms are general,
and reports say that the stalk is fruit
! Ing from the ground up, promising
fine yield. Corn continues small, but is
recuperatlng nicely, the late rains being
very beneficial and ample in amount.
Old corn is IN silk and tasse, and Will
probably give good yields in some sec.
tons, though generally speaking only
light yields are to be expected Young
corn, however, ia very promising. The
crop is about all laid by in these Sec
tions. All vegetables, including gardens,
orchards and pastures, look much better
than a week ago. Late figs, some
apples and pears and few peaches will
be about al the fruits raised this year.
Blackberries are reported plentiful and
of good quality. Watermelons and can.
taloupes are coming into market, and the
outlook is for plentiful supply of mel
ons. Potatoes are fair crop in the
central counties, improving southwark
Rice raised in the extreme south is re
ported in good condition. Taken as q
whole, the crop prospects are brighter
than hitherto reported this year, ant
farmers only ask that rains continue
seasonable and more general.

A most peculiar and distressing accident
occurred to two farmers few miles out
in the country from Coffeeyille last week.
They left their homes with the intention
of going tp town to PURCHASE supplies, and
when they had completed about half the
journey they were overtaken by heavy
rain storm, accompanied by thunder and
lightning. They did not attempt to take
shelter from the storm. but pushed on
toward their destination. The road led
over high i'll, and when they reached
its summit they were struck BY a flash Of
lightning. One was killed instantly and
the other is expected to die The unfortu-
nate men were found where they had
fallen by some negroes who were passing
that way, and taken to the nearest house.
Medical aid was called in and the attend.
ing physician stated that one of the men
was killed Instantly; that the other did
not receive so hard shock. but his recov-
cry was impossible. 1t is said that the
clothing was burned on their bodies, and
the flesh was scorched in many places.
These men leave large families who were
entirely dependent upon their exertions
for the means OF support.

ST. LOUIS, June 3O.-The Missouri
Pacific freight truins were completely
tied up Thursday night at the union

be seen at work. Things presented
quiet night something similar
to midnight scene on a lonely beach
after all the ships had departed.

there, some smoking and others enjoy

light of dim lantern that had been
used only day or two ago in the serv.

seemingly awaiting someone to enter
the arena and break the dullness of the
hour.

following appeal:
