TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Weather and Crops.

Good local showers fell throughout
the greater portion of the eastern and
middle sections, and where they fell
young and growing crops In the west
srn section light scattered showers are
| reported-not sufficient to arrest the
| rapid decline in conditions, and in that
section the prospects are anything but
dattering for growing crops. Cotton
alone has thus far held its own under
adverse conditions, but even this crop
is beginning to show the effects of tho
severe drouth in some places by she'd
ding forms. The crop has been we'll
cultivated, which is also the case with
corn, and good rain is only needed to
restore these crops, with others, to
healthful condition of growth. Where
rains have fallen elsewhere in the State
a marked improvement in all growing
crops is noted. In the tobacco districts
reports OF damage to the later settings
of plants by the hot, dry weather are
noted; the earlier settings are growing
fairly we'll, but the crop is much re-
duced. In some places worms have ap-
peared in damaging numbers. Wheat
threshing progressed favorably and the
bulk of the splendid crop has already
been saved in excellent condition. Oats
have been harvested. Winter oats are
reported generally good, but the spring
sowings are mostly poor and worthless.
Millet has suffered from the drouth,
but where sufficient rain has fallen it
is growing we'll. The hay crop is saved
in good condition, but is light. Much
of the young clover has succumbed to
the hot, dry weather. and meadows have
also felt seriously its effects. The early
crop of Irish potatoes has proven much
reduced in yield. Peanuts are reported
doing fairly we'll. Apples are still
dropping off; the general crop is re-
ported inferior. In the sections where
the drouth has been severe gardens and
pastures have failed greatly. Good
rains are needed all over the State.

"Ltsp,n Labe,sD pbiIosonbx.

The very next time you git up wrong
end foremost in the mornin, and start
cut for a grJt fret and swivet, Rufus,
| want you tu recollect what Labe Wal
ler-Lispin Labe, as all the boys are
wont to call him-told his store keeper
one day last spring, and let the other
man lose tho sleep.
"To start with Labe aint no great big
shakes as farmer nohow. He works
hard, but he trades so reckless and
heavy. In that way he has been drop
pin behind considerable and runnin
his store account up considerable
from time to time and from year to-
year. One day late in the spring he
went to Bob Willis, his store keeper,
and put in his claims for another turn
of fertilize. Mind you now, Rufus, ho
had already got five turns and laid in a
whole lot of groceries, and Bob was
ruther nervous for fear he would wade
in so deep till be never could touch
bottom no more
:" Looks to me like you mought pull
through on what you have already got,
Labe,' says Bob. IF was you 1
wouldn't wade too deep in debt Amt
you skeered it will pile up so as to give
you too much worriment? Seems to
me like if l owed as much as you do,
and had no more to show out with, it
would break into my rest and make me
lose sleep.
"'Now, Misther Willith, don't you
pesther your mind about that. You
never will hear tell of Labe Waller
Iothin any theep in regards to his store
account. No, thir, no, thir! You are
the man to 10th all the theep, Misther
Willith. Yeth, thir. yeth, thir. 1t

And now Aunt Nancy Newton-may
the tribe increase-has returned back
home to the old Panther Creek settle

She Found Him et Last.

'sYou recol1ect the Calinses, don't
you, Rufuso' Aunt Nancy went on as
she scratched a match on the seat of
her chair and lit her pipe for the third
time "And of course at any rate
you recolleet Miss Mittie Callins, the
old maid of the generation. Now, while
Miss Mittie never has mated off and got
married, through many long and
weary years she has been lookin for
man. Every night the good Lord sent
since she come grown she has looked
under the bed for a man. Well it does
raley look to me like if / was huntin
for a man I wouldn't have much
hopes of findin one under the
bed. But it would seem as if Miss
Mittie was borned to live in hopes if she
died an old maid. AS reglar as the
nights rolled around she would say her
prayers and then look under the bed for
a man. And one night about three
weeks ago bless the heavens if she
didn't find him--found him under the
bed, too. From the news ruther think
Mis- Mittie was sorry she found what
she was lookin for-so suddint and sur
prism like. She screamed and tainted
and fell over in it. BY the time the old
lady and the boys got to her room the
man was gone. He is gone till yet-no-
body knows where.
That is all know. Rufus. And that
is about all Miss Mittie knows. She
don't know whether he was young
man or an old man-ugly or fine lookin,
or only middlin She didn't even know
for certain whether he was white or
black. But she knows that whereas she
was loolzin for man and she found one,
and found him under the bed.
''Henceforwards since then Miss Nit
tie has quit lookin for men, but she
makes the boys go to her room every
night and strike a light and see if they
can find a man under the bed before she
will risk herself inside the door.

Crops in ObiOn County.

The drouth which had prevailed in
Obion county for some time was broken
last week by fine rains. The growing
crops had begun to suffer, but are now
saved from a shortage. The wheat crop
has about all been threshed and many
thousands of bushels are being sold
daily. One day last week twelve cars
of wheat were shipped from Union City.
The prospects for large corn crop were
never better, though little late.
