BIG WHEAT CROP.
Large Yield and Good Quality in
Middle Tennessee.

Nashville, Tenn, July 1S.-The
local railroads are now looking after
the moving of the wheat crop of 1901
in Middle Tennessee The crop has
been threshed, and from all reports
is the best one both in quality and
quantity for years. During the past
week the Louisville and Nashville rail
road has moved 150 carloads on the
Second division. This is far ahead Of
all previous records for this season.
The crop is being moved at a
moderate rate on the southern division
of the Louisville and Nashville and it
is roughly estimated that the road
will handle 400 cars between Nashville
and Columbia. A large quantity of
wheat has been shipped from Brent
wood. The rate at which grain is no "
being moved is about the same as
usual. On the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis road there is a healthy
demand for grain cars, and it is
roughly estimated that this road has
already handled from 100 to 175 car
loads.
The reports received by railroads in
dicate that large number of the farm
ers are holding their wheat. This
is due to the low price of the cereal.

PRAYERS FOR RAIN
offered by Drouth Stricked Mis-
sourians-Go Proclamation.

St Louis, July 21.-The great COM
monwealth of Missouri knelt to day in
sun baked church and synagogue and
cathedral and offered prayer to the
Giver of rain that the long and bitter
drouth which has cursed the State may
be broken. The Governor S proclama-
tion, issued at Jefferson City, July 10,
fixing to-day as day of prayer and
fsating, is not the first Of its kind. In
1876 Gov Charles H. Hardin issued a
proclamation setting aside June as a
day of THANKSGIVING, fasting and
prayer for divine deliverance from
the double plague of drouth and grass
hoppers. The proclamation was gen
orally observed over the State. and the
very next day the State was blessed by
a heavy downpour in all sections.
About the 1 tn of the month the locusts
began to move, and by the 18th they
were all gone, and the State was de-
livered from a pest that had threatened
to wipe out every vestige of vegetation.
Farmers planted their crops again,
and the season being favorable from
that time on, no real suffering resulted
from the drouth and insects.
Sunday morning dawned in Mis-
souri, fair and hot and unbearably
sultry. AS the day wore on it became
evident that the hottest day of the
year was at hand, and before night
from practically every point in the
state came reports that the day was the
hottest in many years. Nevertheless,
elaborate ceremonies were held in
nracti cally eyerv town and citV in the
State, in accordance with the Gov
ernor's proclamation. 1t was striking
event in the State S history.
At many churches two services were
held during the day, while at many
others continuous service was held
from early morning till late at night.
The result of the general supplicati ons
for rain is eagerly awaited by the
church people of the State, and others
as well.
