Weather and Crops.

The weather bureau report of Ten
nessee crops for the week ending on
the 9th, says:
1.-The warm bright weather of the
week greatly facilitated the work of
corn and cotton planting, which was
pushed forward to near completion. 1t
was also favorable to the growth of
vegetation. but the rapid drying of the
soil prevented proper termination of
seed. Much of the area planted early
in corn and cotton had to be plowed up
and planted over. Wheat, oats and
clover are in generally fine condition of
growth. Tobacco plants are late but
healthy, and now growing well. Pea
nuts are being planted. Fruit is found
not to be injured by the late cold
weather, and the prospects are fiatter-
ing. Garden products are growing
well. Meadows and pastures are in
good growth. Irish potatoes are coming
up and growing. Rain is much needed
everywhere TO facilitate termination
and growth "

Reducing the States Indebtedness.

State Treasurer Folk has received all
of the New York exchange for which
he made requisition on banks over the
State, and with which he will pay for
the S163,60 of State bonds purchased
recently. This purchase makes the
aggregate of bonds bought by the State
in the past sixteen months $4,000.
All the purchases were made with the
sinking fund except $4,000, which
was taken from the general fund un-
der the amended laws. The operation
under this amendment, of taking and
selling surplus from the general fund
at any time, in this last purchase saves
the State interest on the bonds pur-
chased for eight months, as under the
old law the surplus in the general fund
passed into the sinking fund only at the
close of year, and the purchase would
not have been made until next January.
