FALL BRANCH.

The drouth continues without anyin-
dications of a break and will probably
prove %seriousi II 1t lasts many weeks
longer. The dust is everywhere and
some sections of the county are even
on the verge Of n water famine. Bnng
holes are dropping into the barrels and
have to be fished out with wire hooks.
Fence cracks have dried out and ex-
banded until live stock can invade the
fields Without any trouble. About the
only thing in this end of the county
that has withstood the extreme dry
weather is the water wheel at Morgan's
Mill, and It runs only OH half time, the
miller putting in the other half in carry
ing water in a tin bucket and pouring
on 1t to keep it fromtdrying out. If 1t
does not'rain soon we expect the creeks
to catch on fire and carry destruction
along its course, for Noah Bishop says
this could happen easily. The Graded
School is doing well, several new pu-
pills having entered within the last two
weeks. Prof. Trim and his able corps
OF assistants made a splendid record last
year for th%oroughness and high grade
work and they are equally as earnest in
their efforts this year to keep the school
up to the requirements of the times. We
are free to say that the school here Is
second to mono Of its class in the conn
try. Prof. Murray, County Superintend-
ent, is expected to visit the school at an
early day. Rev. Andrew Watkins visited
the school last week and made a good
talk to the pupils. Profs. Trim and
Duncan, Misses Matte Hale and Mari
eta Baxter and Mayield Baxter were
the guests OF Mat Bachman and sisters
Saturday. They report a nice time ali
round, with croquet by moonlight Sat-
urday night. Mat and his niece, Miss
0sceola Pendleton, attended church here

see in u recent copy of the "Ameri-
can" Peter Turneylate acting Governor
of Tennessee, recommends a reduction
of Representatives in our General AS
sembly to thirty-that is ten Senators
and twenty Representatives; and one of
his reasons is, that it will make n saving
to the State Of $4,000 at each biennial
session of the Legislature. The presump-
tion is, that Peter Turney has, really,
but little care for the interest of the tax
payers of the State as his constitution
defying proceedings by mean of which
he usurped the office Of Governor to
which he was not elected, cost the tax
payers OF the state about $4,000.
If the saving Of expenses. and not the
conservation Of the peoples interests is
to be the question, why not reduce and
simplify the matter a little further and
more than Peter suggests. l mean this
As Bob Taylor by his manifesto shows
that he can not support himself and
family on the present executive salary
of $4,000 a year; and, as by his peculiar
election laws, he has, now, about sole
control OF the State, why not let him
become, in addition to Governor, the
Lower House Of the General Assembly
at a legislative salary of, say, 10000 a
year making his aggregate salary
$4,000. That, possibly, would be enough
to keep the wolf away from his door;

a number Of years. He was married
to Miss ME-. Baxter, eof Cedar Lane,
Greene County, Tenn, in the fall of
1882. Their lives we're pleasant to-
gether andtheirs a pleasant, hospitable
home. Soon after bis marriage he
moved to .Rheatown, Tenn, and was
loved and respected by the people of
that community. He was one of our
best business men, and we oil feel we
have sustained a great loss in his death.
His last years. business was a crown
ing success.
Several years ago he protested the
religion of Christ, but like many was
overtaken by the wayside and fingered
for q number of years in disobedience,
But happily for him and to the comfort
of his relatives and friends he was re.
stored two years since. and at times

The iron barometer is showing
some gratifying condition in business,
commerce, and manufacture in the
United States. One year ago the aver.
age weekly output of pig iron was only
alittle above 100, 900 tons per week,
now it is reaching nearly 200, 900 tons
per week. This shows more about the
real business improvement of the coun.
try than columns of wailipg about

and machinery for the farm, the rails
and cars and engines for the railroads,

that an Increase Of nearly 100 per

Fort Meade Well Adapted for Growing
Tobacco.

lOUdCCO.
just now when we hear so much
about Cuban tobacco, the question is
often asked, why has the development
of this industry been put off so long
and why lis land in the vicinity so
particularly fitted for growing the
plant.
1t might be well to say that tobac-
co growing is not a new industry.
Years ago in the old colonial days it
is said that the savages raised their
own Ntobacco and THAT the tobacco
raised i'm Virginia was grown from
seed transported from Florida. How
ever this may be, the oldest inhab-
itantas can tell of tobacco raised by
their grandfathers and they say it ap-
peared ais well suited to the soil as
the never failing sweet potato.
The princi pal reason why tobacco
was never cultivated ITO any consider
able extent in South Florida was that
orange growing promised such large
returns and it required so little labor
to produce them that people did mot
care to devote their time to raising a
crop which required much skill and
labor. Again they had no one to in
atruct them i'm curing the fine va1ie-
ties and the coarser varieties did not
promise as great remuneration as
many other crops that are easily rails
ed here.
1T has been we'll said THAT Fort
Meade lis in THE heart of the tobacco
belt of Florida. The soil here is we'll
adapted to it's growth as has been
proved by experiments.
Farther north than the northern
boundry of Polk county the cold
makes it almost impossible to grow
the fall crop which is undoubtedly
the most paying crop of the year.
Along the coast experiments prove
that tine tobacco absorbs the salt from
the spray which renders it utterly
useless Therefore it is not saying too
much to say that the Peace river val
ley from AWburndale to Arcadia is
best adapted to growing tobacco and
that it is practically without compe
Triton from any section of the world
