TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Tennessee Crops.

Genearlly high temperature with
large percentage of sunshine charac-
terized the weather of the past week.
portions of the State-heavy in some
places, but light and local in others.
Conditions greatly favored the matur-
ing of the ripening crops of the season,
such as corn, tobacco and cotton. The
early corn crop is now safe and is con-
sidered one of the finest produced in
many years; in some of the eastern coun-
ties there is considerable complaint of
fungus growth or smut, caused, no
doubt, by the warm, humid weather of
the past month. Cotton has improved
greatly since the warm, dry weather
set in, but the abnormal stalk growth,
incident to the excess of humidity pre-
vious, had become too far advanced for
the fruit production to be much inn
proved. Tobacco is reported a fine crop
generally, and maturing well under the
favorable conditions of sunshine and
dryness. The late Irish potato crop is
doing well except in the dry districts,
where it is beginning to need rain; sweet
potatoes promise good yields. Early
planted turnips are growing well, later
paintings have not come up well, owing
to lack of moisture. Peanuts, sorghum
and other contemporary crops are re-
ported in good condition of growth.
Stock peas are fast ripening. Farmers
are making preparations for a large
area in wheat, but the dry weather has
greatly hindered blowing in many Sec
tions. Grasshoppers are reported de-
structive to late corn. and millet and
young clover in some of the middle and
western counties. Fall apples are still
dropping off. Pastures are still good,
and stock reported in good condition.

FLAGSHIP OLYMPIA,

Lieut.. A. F. Smith and Others, Clarksville,

DEAR SIRs: / have the honor to &c
knowledge the receipt of your letter and
resolutions of May 2S, 1898, and can assure
you that though / have had letters, reso-
lutions, kilograms, ETC., from all parts of
the United States, none have given me
more pleasure than the communication
from you.
One fortunate result of this war with
Spain is the healing of all the wounds that
have been ranking since 1865, and believe
that from now on we will be a united peo-
pie, with no North, no South. That result
alone will be worth all the sacrifices we
have made.
1t would give me much pleasure to talk
over with you those stirring days around
Port Hudson, and L hope that pleasure may
be in store for me.
In the meantime, with many thanks for
your congratulations and best wishes, re-
main, very sincerely, GEORGE DEWEY.
