NOTHING indicates so clearly the dying out of the silver craze in the south as the rapidly increasing number of sound money newspapers in that section. Not to speak of Kentucky, where the battle has ended so decisively against silver, encourage ment comes from nearly every southern state. The sound money sentiment has grown wonderfully in Tennessee. Alabama. Georgia and Texas. while in North Caro- lima and Mississippi able advocates have come oct against the free coiners and em- pathically in favor of the policy of the ad- ministration.

"Mister," :" said Reginald de Bumme to the man who looked as if ne must be college professor, "have you the price of shave to spare?'
 "Why, what do you want with a shave?''
 ''I didn't say I wanted shave. said I wanted the price of a shave. The price of shave being 10 cents and the price of drink being 10 cents, the two phrases are practically synonymous, and merely took the liberty of substitutil g one fort he other for the sake of eupho- ny. See?"-Washington Star.

Ex-President Harrison's Daughter Rides a
 Wheel Herself.
 INDIANAPOLIS, July 10.-The attention of General Benjamin Harrison being called to an alleged interview published in New York, in which he was made to say that he was opposed to the use of bicycles by women, he was quick to deny having said what was attributed to him.
 1T have, " said the ex-president, talked with no newspaper man on such subect but my views are not in accord with the views expressed in that article. I expect it is another one of those made up articles for which New York newspaper men are famous.
 Only last week a local bicycle firm shipped two wheels to Saratoga-one for Mrs. Mckee, General Harrison's daugh- ter, and another for her son.

Lake Erie Grapes Killed.

DUNKIRK, N. Y. May Frost ruined
the entire grape crop of the CHATEAU
qua grape belt. The loss is at least ;.
100000 dollars. At the figure of last
years crop and by reason of new vines
coming into bearing, the crop this
year would have been much larger
The vines were loaded down with
blossoms and buds last evening, but
to-day from one end of the belt to the
other the vineyards are nothing but
blackened ruins and have the appear
ance of having been visited by fine.
There will be no cherries. Gerry
Rickmon, the millionaire grape grow
er and wine manufat ner, says Il e
loss in the belt by reason of the de-
struction done to the grapes will reach
at least 100000. His own loss es.
Inmates at $250,000.

Meet at Chattanooga in ,e8.

At Washington Tuesday the Com
mittee on Time and Place for hold
ing the next Southern Baptist Con.
vention reported that Chattanooga
Tenn, had been selected as the place
and Friday before the second Sunday
in May next, as the time. The com.
mittee also announced that next yeal
there would be reversion to the old
system of entertaining the delegates
to the convention free of charge at
the homes of the local Baptists. In
Washington only the officers of the
convention and returned missionaries
were entertained free of charge, and
this fact caused some expressions of
dissatisfaction, so that the announce
ment of the purpose to return to the
old plan was hailed with delight.
The report was unanimously adopted.

County weslth-sCity Assessors Report.


The frost in this section Monday
night did considerable damage to
tender vegetables, such as beans and
tomatoes, but no great injury has re-
suited. The corn in some places is
reported to be nipped, but is not
much hurt. Some tobacco plants
were also killed. In many sections
the temperature was below the freez-
ing point, and the damage in such
territory is incalculable. In North.
ern Kentucky ice formed to the
thickness of half inch and gardens
will require a wholesale replanting.
Snow fell in many places Tuesday
and in Ohio the ground froze to a
depth of two inches. In Michigan
snow was ten inches deep on level
and is still lying upon the ground.
The fruit crop in this section is not
thought to be damaged to any great
extent. In Princeton gardens were
ruined, and will have to be replanted
almost entirely.
