CROP CONDITIONS.

REPORTS FROM THE STATE
WEEKLIEs SAY THAT THE
YIELD IS VERY LIGHT INDEED.
Reports of crop conditions from the
various country Weeklies OF the state
q the yield is very light indeed and
most Of the papers take a whack at the
experts who have been estimating the
crop far beyond Whatit really is. La
Moure county reports say that Is wheat
is kept for bread and seed there will
be none to ship this year. Sargent
county reports the wheat crop as all
most a total failure and Tradll county
says the yield there is very small.
The same reports come from other
parts Of the state.

Another Negro Shot.

Will Giles, colored, was the recipient
of a couple Of loads of bird shot late last
Saturday evening. He says that he was
coming from his work at Buffalo and
overlook another negro on the road,
about that time a dog belonging to some
gentlemen who had. been hunting came
along and the other negro shot at the
dog, about the same time two mnn came
along in buggy, these men he supposed
were the owners Of the dog, and seeing
what had been done shot at the tiss
negroes, both the loads hit Giles, one
in his right arm, the other in his back as
he turned to run. DIR. Pool made au ex-
animation Sunday morning and found
that the shots were so deeply buried that
it was not advisable to cut them out.
He found one just under the skin and
cut 1t out. The negro seems to be
getting along very we'll with his extra
loads. Wehave not heard the other side
of the question as the negro did not
know who the white men were, and had
not found out at last accounts.

hopes during that time to fully regain

ing, he is in quandary as to whether
he should take along his duster and a
sun umbrella or his overcoat and his
rubhers. He says such weather is enough
to shatter the constitution of any one
, not native and to the manor born.
He has asked to be transferred upon the
expiration Of his leave Of absence to a
navy yard or naval. hospital, and hopes to
be sent either to Washington or New
York. He has been on shore duty since
his return from Manila in April, 1890,
on the Raleigh. We are very glad in
deed to have this handsome young naval
officer with us, and wish his stay could
be longer. We hope he will entirely re-
gain his health at once, in fact, he seems
to already have made rapid progress In
that direction.

they were determined to start their
porkers at once. They each seonred a
pig, fine specimens of the unknown or
razor-back variety, and friendly rivalIy
began as to who should succeed in crow
ing the biggest and fattest hog. Donny,s
hog had beautiful ears, that il seemed p
pity to disfgure by crop, under emf
and a slit, so he concluded not - oark
the ears. Now Mr.. RelnNn n;a bad
a regular spiral sp''-,p tail that s he fam FAN
sisS snriv very cry mn". He S was sure that @ the
s"'S ~ was good sign that he had a
..,'S that was going to get there to beat
the band. So he decided not to mark
his hog by cutting off the tail. But fate,
cruel fate, that takes great delight in
tumbling our air castles to the ground
and disarrangiDg our most carefully laid
plans and Illustrating our most cherished
hopes, this monster had its eyes on those
two pigs. SO last Tuesday night, being
real cold one, this evil minded fate
espied frost coming along. and he put a
hog In frOst's ear, who nodded assent ard
passed on. The result was at once dis
covered by Messrs. r. and d., as they
hurried to their piggies Wednesday morn
ing to offer them tempting breakfast,
Imagine their surprise and disgust when
MIR. d. discovered that the frost had
bitten off one of those beautiful ears
from his pig, and at the same time Mr..
r. made the horrible discovery that the
frost had, also, bitten off that beautiful
curling tail, that he had set so much
store by. We sympathize with the
gentlemen, but will say that while the
pigs are somewhat disfgured, they are
still in the ring, and may make fine hogs
yet.

A N9I,ie Woman Dead.

We were greatly panied and very much
surprised when the sad intelligence
reached here, Monday, that Mrs. Bessie
Crocker, the beloved wife of Rev. w.
d. Crocker. after short illness had died
on Sept. 10 at Fuxuoka, Japan, where
she and her husband had gone month
before to escape the wrath of the MUIR
delous Chinese. 1t has only been about
two weeks since The CARNEY Ledger
published a letter from Mr.. Crocker tell
ing of their safe arrival in Japan and Of
how happy they felt on account Of their
escape from China. His wife was in
good health at the time aud was enjoy
ing the surroundings Of their new home;
consequently her family and friends on
this side of the world were totally un-
prepared for the distressing news that
reached them Monday.
Her borrowing husband and her be-
'reaved family have the profound SYM
pathy of host of friends in the great
loss they have been called upon to bear.
Our readers all know that Mr.. and
