Crops in Tennessee.

The following is an ex-
tract from Maj. Bates crop
report for past week:
During the early part of
the week, moderate cool and
rainy weather prevailed,
which checked the growth of
vegetation, and delayed the
work of blowing and plant
ing. This period was followed
during the latter part of the
week by three days of warmth
and sunshine which gave a
new impetus to the growth
of vegetation and favored out
door work, and farmers inn
proved these days in pushing
forward vigorously the work
of planting early crops where
conditions of soil would per-
nit. Most Of the area in
early planted corn, which was
so badly injured by the late
freeze, has to be planted
over again, besides, much of
this crop failed to terminate,
owing to the cold and damp
condition of the soil, so that
the late season will necessari-
ly cause the crop to get a late
start in growth. Planting is
in full progress, and, as the
soil was well prepared, and
with warm weather, the
chances are favorable for a
rapid and vigorous growth.
1t is thought that an increas-
ed area will be planted this
season. In the southern
counties where some of the
early crop escaped destruc-
ton, it is reported growing
slowly.

The Call of Duty.

There are two things in the
world of which Mrs. Spilker is very
fonda party and her husband.
She never fails to accept an invita-
ton to one, or to carry the other
with her; and, withal, she is very
deaf, says an exchange.
Not long since they attended a
birthday party, and the Major-Mrs.
Spilker's husband-was to propose
the health of "The Babies" Be.
ing very fond of children, it was
thought that this toast would just
suit him.
Unfortunate for Maj. Spilker and
the assembled guests, he changed
his toast to "The Ladies'" without
warning his wife of the fact, who,
of course, thought her husband
would confne himself to the toast
of the little ones.
CHOW, Maj. Spilker," said Mrs.
Barker, the hostess, as the dinner
advanced, cit is your turn to give
your toast, and pray say something
complimentary to our sex"
"When my charming hostess, "
said the Major, rising, "requests
me to do thing it is my duty to
obey; therefore l take pleasure in
drinking the health of the ladies.
The ladies cherish US in prosperity,
soothe US in adversely, and by their
tender ministerings Tighten the bur-
dens of life. l drink to the Iadies''
When the applause subsidized,
Mrs. Spilker, ignorant of the true
subject of the toast, but glowing
with pride and admiration, said:
ooh, Mrs. Barker, you don't
know how fond the Major is OF
them /! | have seen him with two
or three on his lap at once and"-
"Agatha" gasped the Major.
"Just teasing the life out of the
poor dear things. He is such q
favorite with them, and every chance
he gets he is sure to have them il
his arms, or be romping with them.
He's got the lovingest nature of any
man l ever saw; and somehow they
come to him, when they won't t.

Mr.. Foster is well known to the
people of our county. He is dem

economy, hence favors the abolition
of unnecessary offices. He does not
believe in a favored few receiving
handsome salaries for which prac-

many of those who really do the

Carloads of pumpkins as yellow as gold,
Onions in silvery strings,
Shining red apples and clusters of grapes,
Nuts and host of good things,
Chickens, and turkeys, and fat little pigs
These are what Thanksgiving brings.
In selecting turkey, says Miss
Parloa, see that the flesh is white, that
the bird is short, plump and fat, and
that the end of the breastbone is soft
and flexible. This bird should be
treated with the greatest respect. Sea-
son it we'll with salt, and gill the breast
and body with a we'll seasoned dress

legs and sides, then dredge with flour,
and put into hot oven where the
butter and flour will unite to make a
frothy crust for the turkey. After the
turkey is Drowned the heat should be
reduced. There must be a basting
every Is minutes with the gravy in the
pan, besides salt, pepper and flour.
The coating of flour and butter, the
constant generous basting and the low

inside of the fowl, writes Marion Har-
land, especially if purchased in the
market, is sometimes very sour, and
imparts an unpleasant taste to the
stuffing, if not to the inner part of the
legs and side bones. The soda will act
as a corrective, and is, moreover, very
cleansing. Fill the body with this
water, shake well, empty it out and

DUN'S REPORT.
The After Election Business
Improvement Sets In.
Slight Change in Wheat--A Little
Stronger Demand for Cotton.

New York, Nov. 18.-R. G. Dun q
Co. s weekly review of trade, tomorrow,
will say: The situation Is clearer ana

was expected after the election has De-
gun. :,
1t is noteworthy that in spite of all
changes the price of spot wheat has but
slightly changed. The exports for the
week, flour included, have been $685.
76S bushels from Atlantic ports, against
3,237,344, last year, and from Paclnc
ports 9SS,093 bushels against 2,1S,33
last year. With 10,337, 81 bushels re-
ceived at Western points, during the
week, and in two weeks, 20,261, 1865 bush
els against 15,22S, 167, last year, it can
no longer be said that Western supplies
threaten to run short.
Corn exports also exceed last year S
amounting for the week to 1888, 72O
bushels against 2,722.4 last year.
Were it possible, it would be crafty
ing to say that a little stronger demand
for cotton, making the price 5.37 cents,
against 5.31 a week ago, had SOHO
basis, but Southern markets recognize
the fact that the closing Of many mills
here and abroad, owing to the excess
sive stock of goods on hand, does not
offer bright promises. Crop prospects
appear so good that even at the ex-
IRENE low prices quoted there is little
announcement for advance in view of
the heavy stocks held here and abroad.
The wooden manufacture has gained
in orders for the coming season which
justifies the heavy buying of materials
ole hnt

demand is not large and much ma

100, in 1892, they include two large
sales for export, covering ,OOO,OOl
pounds Of Montevideo and Australian
wool at 16 and IS cents respectively
which make clearer the fact that prices

high.
