The Maine packers Of canned goods
will be interested to know that move
ment is on foot in Massachusetts, to get the
Legislature to pass a law forbid ding the
sale of canned goods unless properly
stamped with the year the goods are put
up. The date, say 1891, could be stamp
ed into the tin on the inside OF the car
before the goods are put in, and in this
way there could be no tampering with
the date. The mark would be plainly
distinguishable, and it would be made in
such way as not TO be counterfeited, for
if a can is marked from the outside the
difference could be detected Immediately.
Canned goods over certain age could not
be sold as fresh goods; and from my OWE
experience in purchasing canned goods,
am inclined to think that some such Law
as the above would be pretty good thing.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
ALausuit over Zen Gents.

There was a lawsuit in Justice Balfs
court at Memphis last week in which the
amount of 10 cents was involved. The
defendant in the case is very sorrow
now, as it cost him just $5 05 and law
yer's fee to get out of it. The prIn'
cipals were NJ. +. Dominica, grocery
keeper, and Nat Divinney, farmer. 1t
was over the sale of wagon load oil
watermelons that the dispute arose.
After tho two had made trade and the
melons had been unloaded and placed
on the sidewalk by the farmer the gro
ceryman decided that six of them were
too small for the price agreed on and re-
fused to settle unless reduction was
made. This reduction Divinney re-
fused, protesting that the sale had been
made with the melons in plain view
and that it was an imposition on Domi-
nico's part to want a reduction in the
price after Divinney had gonc to the
trouble of unloading them. A lengthy
dispute followed, and as. both parties
remained obdurate they could reach no
agreement The farmer finally left his
melons and went off, declaring that he
would tring suit for the prico first
agreed on. Just before the case was
called in Squire Balls court Dominica
laid So. go down on the table and told his
prosecutor to take that as compromise.
The sum was 10 cents less than the
price contested for, and Divinney re-
fused to accept it. No further words
passed between them, and the case was
| brought to trial with the outcome men
| toned in the foregoing.

THE GROWING COTTON CROP.
AS Estimated by the WelI-Known Cotton
Statistician, II. NJ. Neill.


Statistician, II. NJ. Neill.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 16.-Mr IL. Nj.
Neill. the well-known cotton statlstl-
clan. has issued circular on the grow
ing crop. After referring to the cor
rectness of his estimate made III July,
1891, of the crop of that season, Mr..
Neill says:
"At this moment for this year the
promise is equal to any previous year
in every state but Texas, and on the
present acreage, even allowing that
Texas should fall short of her maxi
mum product per acre by 1000, 600
bales, the outlook now is for crop OF
at least 9, ,750, 900 with 500, to l. Ooo, :
900 more within the range of posslblll-
ties. This figure of $3.50, OOo Is
really very conservative, for
product per acre outside OF
Texas equal to 1894-95 would
give 1850, 600 bales, and maximum
for Texas would be $3.50, 900 bales,
from which allowing 100000 off you
would have a crop of 10, 800, 900 bales.
The crop is now so far advanced from
recent rains and heat that it will reach
maturity and be independent OF frost
at an unusually early date and should
we soon have good rains in Texas her
crop also would be near perfection and
the possibilities for total crop would
| then be something enormous.

And Lon Remained Over.


Tbat night l went to bed and went
to sleep wonderin what in the thunder
etions I would do with that stray Amer
lean boy from Georgy. Accordin to the
Scriptures the earth had already been
replenished considerable right around
there. and SO fur as l knew nobody
hadn't forgot the multiplication table
nor burnt up any cradles to speak OF.
And if in spite of that the boys had put
in to comm across the line from Georgy,
and comm to stay, didn't know Tor
certain where the rush would stop.
But, anyhow, 1 put the Georgy
youngster out in the shed room that
night with the rest of the boys. BY
the first crack of day next mornln ne
was up and about. When | got out to
the lot he had fed the horses and tend
ed to the stock. When | got to the
woodpile he had cut UP stove wood
enough to last two days. When l start
ed to the spring met him comm up
the hill with three buckets of water
one in each hand and. the third one on
his head. And then when mother went
down to the cow pen, bless heavens II
he want standin there at the bars with
the calf rope in his hands ready walfAn
for chance to turn off another JOB.
Now, it had went through my head
the other night that ! would ride over
to old man Jerry Rutherford's the nex'
mornin 10 see if he wouldn't take the
/ Georgy boy to his house and make
place for him. Old man jerry dldn
have no boys of his own so fur as any
bodv knowed, and / lowed it mough1
suit him to fill ont his hand with the
little straggler from Georgy. But be
/ fore breakfast that mornin, seein wha'
had saw, says to myself, says /:
Little man, your name mought b
Watson. or it mought be Smith
mought be that you come from Georgy
or Reelfoot Lake, or Habbersham o
Kalamazoo. But I'll be essential.
dadburned if you amt right In re
cards to one thing-you have come 7
stay.
And so for seven long years Lou Wat
son remained over at our house an
tarried around in the Rocky Creek sci
flement. After that he took and 60
married and settled down. He hel
his own from the jump and is no'
