Knoxville, June 4. Mrs. Robert
L. Taylor, wife of ex-Gov. Taylor,
died tonight at her home in this

this city to reside about two months
ago, Gov. Taylor having purchased
the palatial residence of Col. Will
liam Caswell. Mrs. Taylor's death
is universally lamented here and its
announcement spread rapidly.

Hills Patriotic Utterances.

In his Memorial Day speech in
New DIRK last Wednesday night ex-
Senator David b. Hill said:
s'Let our efforts now be mainly
exerted along the paths of peace.
Let us make this an era of progress
and advancement in all that concerns
our material and best interests. Let
us strive to make our country pros
perous-not a false or fictitious
prosperity, which always reacts and
proves disastrous in the end, but a
genuine prosperity which shall reach
not merely a few, but the masses
the plain people of the land, who
constitute the bulk of our population.
Let sectional animosities be forever
banished. Let us seek to utilize our
vast resources, to build up our waste
places, to increase the comforts and
eonveniences of life and place them
within the reach of all; to lessen the
hours of those who toll for a living;
to add to the dignity of labor, and
to ameliorate the condition of the
poor and unfortunate. Let US seek
TO elevate and purify the public SER
vice. Let us insist upon honesty in
official station, not merely because
honesty is the best policy, but be-
cause it is the best principle,
and is essential to the
preservation of the integri-
ty of our institutions. Let bus
mess be absolutely divorced from
politics. In times of national dan
ger let us be patriots rather than par
tIsans. And, finally, at all times let
us be impressed with the duties and
responsibilities of American citizen
ship, proud of our country and her
starry flag, glorying in her past,
confident in her future, let us on this
Memorial Day renew our allegiance
to her welfare-not by mere words,
forms, or ceremonies-but by the
of an unselfish, widesp-
read and lofty patriotism"

cred from the SHOCK" said General
Lee.
The Reverend William Jones, of
Virginia, chaplain general of the
United ConfederateV eterans, preach
ed the annual sermon. Mr.. Jones
told the incident of Spottsylvania,
when, after Hancock's charge, when
it seemed that the Army of North
ern Virginia would be cut in two,
General Lee had ridden to the
front, as if to lead the charge of
the Confederates; how General John
B. Gordon, grasping the birdie of
"Old Traveller" had cried: "Men,
is it necessary that General Lee
lead this charger You have never
failed me; will you fail me now?"
After the soldiers had replied
with a cheer, s'Lee to the rear"
General Gordon said: "Charge,
and remember that the eyes of
your chief are on you"
Rev. Mr.. Jones spoke at great
length on the religious life of the
Confederate soldiers.

Memphis, June 4.-The capture

Crop Report.

Good rains fell during the week
over the greater portion of the State,
but in the northern counties of the
Eastern Division, and in the north.
eastern portion of the Middle
Division, the falls were generally
light and local in character-ln many
places too light and insufficient to re-
lieve the suffering crops and to
render the soil capable of being
broken properly. In these dry
sections, reports are not encouraging
as to the growth of young crops,
and those in the early stages of
maturity. In the more favored
sections, however, the rains-some
of them greatly improved
vegetation, and gave new life to
those crops which, at this season,
depended so largely on proper
moisture for healthy growth, as well
as those entering the critical period
of incipient maturity. In these dis
tricts corn is in generally fine grow
ing condition, with good stands, ex-
cept where bud and cut worms have
been destructive; the crop was we'll
cultivated, as a rule, until the rains
hindered this work. Much of the
crop is late and small, owing to the
backward season of planting, but its
presents growth is satisfactory.
Cotton conditions are much the
same, and reports from this crop are
mostly encouraging. Oats, Irish
potatoes, clover and the grasses, are
much improved where sufficient rain
fell, and the outlook for these pro-
ducts is favorable; in the dry Sec
tions, oats will be almost a failure.
The rains facilitated the work of
transplanting tobacco and the bulk
of this crop--if not all of it's in
the field with very encouraging
period of wet and cloudy conditions
to assure a good start to grow.
Sweet potato and other plants have
enabout all set out, and are grow
ing well. Wheat is ripening and
will be ready for harvest in a few
days. In many places where the
rains were heavy and accompanied
by wind the grain is badly tangled,
and many reports of the prevalence
of rust are received; the crop, as a
rule, however, has improved, and
the prospects are favorable for a
good yield. Gardens are very much
where rain fell.
