barley has been in progress on this ex-

crop is at least two weeks earlier than
for five years past. Abundant rains have
fallen and the small grain crops, which
are doing nicely, are entirely free from
rust. Cotton was planted before the re-
cent rains and the outlook is bright for
an early and an abundant yield. Two
thousand acres of new land were put in
cultivation on this ranch for the first time
this spring, making total of five thou
sand acres now in high state of cultiva-
ton on this farm. Corn is growing nice
ly and has a good stand. All crops in
this section are far in advance of last
season.
A carload of fat hogs from this ranch
was shipped at Circleville to the Fort

Athens. April 29.-The legislative as
sembly, convoked in extraordinary SEES

again adjourned owing to a lack of a
quorum, only ninety-ive deputies being

the streets eagerly discussed the situa-

the deputies to arrive. He was cheered
and was accorded various other marks of
sympathy but the crowd generally main
tanned the sullen demeanor engendered
by the disheartening news of the past
few days. The ministers reached par
lament house IN closed carriages, the
crowd slowly opening a way to allow
them to pass and respectfully saluting
the occupants of the vehicles.
The public galleries of the house were
thronged, among those present being
many members of the diplomatic corps.
When the president of the legislative
assembly, NJ. Zammis, owing to the abb
sence of quorum, declared the sitting
closed, the announcement was greeted
with EXPLANATIONS of impatience from the
members of the opposition and with cries
of disapproval from the galleries. AS
