is the duty of parents to thirsk upon
this line and act in the wisest
possible way towards their boys,
and to instill into their hearts the
principles of honesty, integrity and in

ever go far in the wrong direction. 1t
is fact that the happiness and peace
of home is largely in the hands of our
boys. IL they go right, homo goes
right; if they go wrong, home goes
wrong, and whatever we may have in

Crop Prospects.

vicksburg, Miss, Aug. 30.-The past
week has been generally more favorable
for all crops.
Cotton picking has begun, and first
bales have been marketed in the sou tn
ern portion. Heavy rains of previous
weeks have done serious damage to cot
ton in central and southern counties,
especially in lowlands. Roll worms,
and shedding have also done consider
able injury to the crops locally. Some
improvement is noted, however, during
the past week.
The corn crop is abundant and in fine
condition generally, and it is about
ready for harvsting.
Oats have been harvested and threshed.
Hay cutting continues and fine crop
assured. Cane splendid and grinding
under full Roadway.
All minor crops are doing we'll.

Tie Farmers Paradise.

Mississippi is the State in which the
farmer can work more days in the year
than in any of the Northern States. and
where he can raise moro money crops
than in any other part of America.
Think of cotton, wheat, oats, barley,
rye, corn, sorghum, potatoes, both sweet t
and Irish. turnips, beets, all other vege-
tables, and the products of his orchard,
garden and vineyard each equal to that
of any other section, all growing in the
same field. If tho State was strewn
broadcast with canneries, ETC., from
which these products could be sent forth
to the world at large in 4 finished mer-
camille form every Mssissippian would
be entitled to enjoy the gout.-FOrest

Decrease In Personal Assessments.

The incoming personal assessment
rolls show decrease in valuations of
about 10 per cent. From present indi-
cations the total decrease will be some-
where in the neighborhoodo of IS, 900, 600,
and may be more. The rolls for Clarke,
Issaquena and Montgomery have been
received at the auditors Office, and they
all show about the same falling off. 1t
will be noted that these counties are
situated in different portions of the
State. In 1894 the total personally in
Clarke County amounted to $3.50, 16S.
This year it is only S535,520 For 1894
the total for Issaquena was S23S, 561, and
for 1895 S197, 42S Montgomery for 1894
showed a total Of s61o, ,374, and for the

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Home for Confederate Soldiers.

'V"t Tut tohffueTNte cofNcHS-
There has been big sentiment in the
State Tor long time favorable to estab-
fishing Confederate home for INDECENT
soldiers. The project has been discussed
more or less by nearly every legislature
that has met in recent years. At
the last regular session a bill appro-
priating what was considered enough
money TO get the enterprise fairly on
its feet came very near passing. There
are evidences that the coming legisla-
ture will also have to deal with the
question. w. A. Percy Camp OF Con-
federate Veterans of Greenville adopted
the following solutions, in which it
will be noticed that each camp in the
State is requested to take action on the
subject:
Whereas, 1t is a self-evident fact that
the number of those who took part on
the Southern side in the four years war
between the States is from year TO year
growing less and less: and,
Whereas, Many of the survivors, all
of whom have passed the meridian of
life, are in needy circumstances, with
out homes or the means of even scanty
support and,
Whereas, We believe it to be the duty
Of the State to give shelter and support
to those who are now or may become
helpless, who responded to her call and
gave four of the best years of their life
to the cause which Mississippi believed
to be right, and whose record on many
hard fought field will attest their devo-
tion in upholding and defending the
honor of their State; and,
Whereas, The government of the
United States has devoted large bodies
of land TO the different State institu-
tions in Mississippi, part of which may
be purchased al a low price, with the
condition that when the premises shall
cease to be used for the purpose of a
Confederate veterans home, then said
lands, with appurtenances, shall revert
back to the State; therefore, be it
Resolved by w. A. Percy Camp No.
23S, Confederate Veterans, first, That
we petition the legislature of the State
of Mississippi to provide a asuitable homo
in which worn out and INDECENT eX-Con-
federate soldiers may find safe refuge
from adversely and want.
Second, That in pursuance of the idea
embodied in the foregoing resolution,
we call upon every camp in the State to
join in memorial to the Legislature at
its next session to make the necessary
appropriation for the purchase OF a
suitable te and the erection of nice,
com Portable home for Confederate vet
erans, and to provide by suitable legis-
lation for the maintenance and proper
conduct of the same.
Third, That the commander and adju-
tant of this camp be and are hereby in
structed to confer with the other camps
in this State in order that proper
memorial may be prepared in time to
present to our State legislature at its
coming session.
