TENNESSEE CROPS.

Good rains fell throughout the
State at intervals from the 4th to
the 9th, some of them quite local in
character, yet there are comparative
Iy few sections that have not been
reached by sufficient quantity to
materially benefit growing vegeta-
ton. In the middle section-nOta-
bly, in Maury and some of the west
ern counties-heavy rains with wind
and hail occurred on the night of
the 8th, damaging growing crops
and wheat and oats yet in the shock,
and retarding the work of threshing.
High temperature was also feature
of the week, and, where supplement-
ed by showers, greatly promoted
the growth and { yelopment of I'M
matured crops. Wheat threshing
is still in progress, and the yields,
as a rule, are quite satisfactory, both
in quantity and quality-better than
was expected at the time of cutting.
In the western, and portions of the
section oats are yielding
much better than expected; in the
eastern section the crop was much
shortened by the drouth. Corn is
reported everywhere growing and
developing well with fine prospects.
Cotton, under the favorable con-
ditions of high temperature and suf-
fcient moisture, is growing and
fruiting finely. Tobacco is reported
growing well. Peanuts, stock
peas, miflet, sweet potatoes and
other young crops are in satisfactory
condition of growth. The early
crop. of Irish potatoes is being mar
keted-light yields are the rule, ow-
ing to the unfavorable condition of
drouth. Breaking land for the fall
seedlings is in progress. In the
southwestern portion of the State,
warm, dry weather prevails to the
1etriment of growing crops. Fruit
prospects continue fairly good, al
though apples are reported dropping
off in some sections. The mellon
crop promises good results.

Hrs. Mary P. Roberts.

The remains of Mrs. Mary
p. Roberts, who died at Lake
View, Miss, Monday, July
11th, 1898, were inferred in
the Roper graveyard, in the
suburbs of Bolivar, Wednes-
day morning, July 18th. Rev.
D. j. James, pastor of the
Methodist Church, conduct
ed the funeral service. Many
friends and acquaintances
were present to pay the last
respects to this good woman.
Mrs. Roberts was born in
North Carolina, in 1914. She
was the daughter of Green
Roper, one of the pioneer
settlers of this country, a man
of intelligence, wealth and
influence. She married Capt.
Nathan Roberts before leav-
ing North Carolina and jour
neyed to this country on.

died many years ago. She
had no children of her own,
but adopted nine motherless
ones, whom she took to her
heart and home and devoted
her ample means and time
to their training and welfare.
In 1867, she removed to Mis-
sissippi. She frequently Wis
tied her old home here and
always received a hearty well
come. For many, many |
years she was a consistent |

Gen. Eitzhugh Lee.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-Gen. Fitz'
hugh Lee is a familiar figure of the
camps. He comes at all hours, and
the officers never know when to ex.
pect him. In his buff suit of linen,
with high-top boots and a much
worn campaign hat surrounding
his ruddy face, he comes into camp,
goes to the mess quarters, investi-
gates the food, tastes some of the
dishes and whenever he finds any
thing wrong or not to his liking, the
officer who is responsible for it
generally remembers the occasion.
Whenever he appears he is saluted
with cheers. He has less ''frills"
on him than any of the recent
brigadiers and the kindly considera-
ton he has shown for his men has
won their hearts.
1t is understood that Gen. Lee is
kicking a little at some of the details
made for his staff. While Harrison.
Hobart and Sartoris are very nice
fellows, all the officers see that Gen.
Lee should have had experienced
men to aid him in getting his corps
in order.-New York World.

Miles Stirs Things UP.

Washington, July lathe faces
of the members of the War Board
wore serious and set expressions
when the council of war broke up
this morning. They expressed de-
termination, if not anger, too. The
meeting of the War Board was
followed by joint meeting of the
board and cabinet. Gen. Alger
carried with him a number of dis
patches which have been coming in
from Gen. Miles this morning, but
were not given out. In fact, | learn
that they would create resentment
toward Shafter and his management
to such an extent that Secretary
Alger suppressed them.
1t is known that they treat of
the dangers of yellow fever and ex-
press the belief that the disease was
brought among the Americans by
refugees, who were allowed free ac-
cess to the camps and Quartermast-
er Department.
The result of Gen. Miles dispatch
is an order which has been sent to-
him to strike the final blow at once.
When asked if Gen. Miles was in
command, a member OF the Cabinet
answered me; ''He could not help
being In command unless he remain
ed on board ship. The moment he
puts foot ashore, by virtue of his
office and according to regulations,
he is in command"
The fact that he burned Siboney
shows in what danger he found the
camp. The greatest anxiety was
visible on all sides early this morn
ing, but gave way to an easier feel
ing when the determination to as
sault at once became known. 1t is
believed that the attack will be
made this afternoon, though it is
possible it may be postponed until
tomorrow morning,
The dispatch which was framed
at the council of war read to use
judgment in all things and attack at
once. 1t urged Miles to use siren
uous means to protect the troops |
from fever and notified him that |
hospital reinforcements would be
sent at once. Such is the situation |
and anxiety at this hour,-Special |

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver is inactive, you
have a bilious look; if your stomach

you have pinched look. Secure

Cervera's Cash.

Correspondence Courier-Journal
What became of Admiral Cerve
ra's treasure chest is a leading ques
ton among the officers of the Ameri-
can fleet. 1t is customary for the
Admiral of a fleet to carry enough
cash to purchase supplies while
away from home, and Admiral
Cervera when he left Cadiz had
5000, 900 in silver and gold. Cervera
paid a portion of this sum for coal
delivered by British vessels near
Curacao and for supplies bought at
Martinique, but | am told that he
still had 800, COO left when the fleet
arrived at Santiago and the greater
part of this sum remained untouch-
ed at the time the fleet dashed out
of the harbOr last Sunday.
Cervera kept this chest on the
flagship and it was burned with the
vessel. The hinges of the chest re-
main, showing that the fire was not
hot enough to destroy the money.
Nevertheless, the money is gone
and only $4,000 in silver can be
traced. This sum was recovered by
party from the flagship New
York, members of which reported
that some one had been there ahead
of them and had apparently made
a rich haul.
That part of Cervera's treasure
which has been recovered is in fairly
good condition and is now in
Admiral SIMPSONS possession. He
is uncertain as to what disposition
to make of the money, owing to the
conflicting claims of those persons
who have been on Cervera's flag
ship. Unattached persons assert
that they have recovered large sums
from the Infanta Maria Terasa.
One sailor on a merchant vessel
which arrived in Port Antonio dis
played 200 $40 gold pieces, and said
that was his share of tie fortune
found in the corner of Admiral
office on the flagship.
In the excitement of their victory
our fleet forgot about the pos
sibilities of ''loot," and it was not
until Tuesday that the matter re-
ceived any attention. Admiral
Sampson then sent the Suwanee to
guard the wreck, but in the mean
time, it is believed, some one gath
cred the fortune in.

NO DISTINCTION AS TO SEX.

The Iowa State Board of Control has given itself more than state honor by it's highly honoring rule that there shall be no sex distinction in the salaries paid at any of the Iowa in- stitutions under the control of that board. Hitherto, in many instances, women who performed their labor as well or better than men employed in the same capacities have been paid one-ffth to one-half less than the men. The elimination of that unjust and dishonorable discrimination is one of the reforms that will make Iowa S State Board of Control system popular in all the other states. Those who have full knowledge of the matter state that the women nurses in the bospitals have always performed bet fer and more work than the men yet the women have all been paid less wages. The board did not reduce the salaries of any of those most useful and necessary employees at the hospi- tals. but it did raise the salaries of the women to the same amounts paid to the men for the same work. Good for the board.-Iowa State Register.
