corinth, July 1L-Albert Sydney
Johnston Camp, Confederate Veterans,
OF Alcorn county, Miss, met in annual
session July 16. A full complement OF
oalcors were elected, with Mai. G. W..
Bynum as commander. The veterans
were addressed by Capt. r. Henderson,
Adjt. Gen. p. NJ. Savery of Grand Camp
and Com nander-elect Bynum. The
Daughters Of the Confederacy sang sew
eral old war songs, and Miss Mary San
ders recited a beautiful and touching
war story.
The Grand Camp, Confederate Vet
erans, Northeast Mississippi, was called
to order at 2 o'clock and the usual busi-
ness transacted. The veterans we're
then formed in line, and, together with
the Corinth Rifles, marched to the depot
to receive the orator Of the day, Gen.
John b. Gordon, who was received amid
volleys Of musketry and vociferous
cheering. Gen. Gordon was escorted to
the courthouse, where the waiting
thrcas@ cheered long and loud the hero
OF d hundred battles.
Hon. John Allen introduced Gen.
Gordon, who for two hours held the at
tention of his hearers with his match
less eloquence in the portrayal of "The
Last Days of the Confederacy." Old
veterans wept, laughed and applauded
alternately as the orator played upon
their emotions and swept them along as
he mentioned hero after hero on either
side OF the desperate struggle.
His tribute to "Old Glory" was with.
out doubt the finest piece of oratory
ever heard in this town. The theme
was great, the man was great

FRUIT CROP.
Agricultural Department Reports Show n
Decline In Condition.


WASHINGTON, July sl.-A generally
poor condition Of fruit throughout the
country is announced in the agricul-
tural department report just pub
lished. Apples declined In con-
dition from II to 61.6 during June
Prospects for excellent crops still con-
tinue in New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Iowa.
Conditions are also very fair in Ne
braska and several of the mountain
states. In other parts of the country
the condition of the crop is far below
the average, being lowest in the At
lantic coast states, where percentages
are generally below 80. In the Ohio
valley and certain of the western
states, not yet referred to, the figures
arc somewhat higher, but nowhere
above 81, which is the percentage re-
turned for Illinois aud Missouri.
The peach crop promises to be of
medium proportions. During the past
month fall of 1919 points has taken
place, leaving the general average now
SIS. Good crops are expected in Della
ware, Maryland, Ohio, Michigan, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and
Kansas. The crop has suffered con-
sidera bly, in California, as is shown by
a condition of rs, which is lower than
any July condition in that state since
1890 In New Jersey the fruit is fall
ing badly. The Connecticut and New
York orchards promise very little fruit,

Good Crops Around sartlis.

One of the most prominent merchants

stated that the early cotton crop, in that
section, is the best outlook for years,
the stand being perfect and the plantin

cotton, which is about one-half of the
whole crop, depends altogether upon
tho season. The corn crop is not as good
as the crop of last year; still, with n
favorable season the young corn and
cotton will give very their return.

Tho decision of the Southern cotton
mills to restrict production so per cent.

unnatural sequence to the wonderful

five years. The policy adopted marks
