General Crop Conditions.

During IL : week rain fell amost
daily throughout the state, some of
them heavy and damaging, causing
high waters and floods in low lands,
which wrought much injury to crops
and soil and fencing. On the 10TH
high winds did great damage by
prostrating corn and other standing
crops. The rains, thoroughly satu-
rating the soil, effectually broke the
long and disastrous drouth, and
gave late crops a wonderful revival
of growth and development, and at
the close of the week conditions are
much improved and prospects for a
good outcome are excellent. This
is especially true of the late plant
ings of corn, also cotton, tobacco,
peas, millet, sorghum, garden pro-
ducts, potatoes, melons and mea-
dows. Tobacco looks fine, except
in places where it has been over
flowed. Cotton stood the drouth
remarkably well, and the rains have
given it new impetus of growth,
but it is still shedding it's fruit al
together, however, the prospects are
more flattering. Peanuts are doing
well as rule. Turnips are coming
up well, and sowing seed is still in
progress. Rye for winter and spring
pasture is being sown. Pastures are
improving rapidly. Early upland
corn was almost too far gone to be
benefited by the rains, and will be
cut for forage. There is much pea
and millet hay ready for cutting.
Fruit generally is inferior apples
rotting and dror ping. Flowing for
fall seedlings is progressing where
the condition of the soil is favora-
BILE for this work.

Forrest Statue.

The monument committee Of the
Forrest Monumental Association has
held a meeting, finally considered
the plans of the equestrian statue as
submitted by Charles Niehaus, the
sculptor, and has awarded the con-
tract.
This action settles the matter for
once and for all and the committe :
has relieved the association and the
public of any further doubt. Mr..
Niehaus will leave tonight for New
York city, where the work on the
statue will begin. 1t will require
three years to complete it and the
committee will have that time in
which to raise the balance Of the
money required. The statue when
completed will cost S25, 900.
OF this amount one quarter of it
is paid at the time the contract is
awarded, another fourth at the time
the clay model is completed, third
at the time the bronze work begins,
and the last fourth when the statue
is mounted and unveiled. 1t will
be a wonderful work when COM
pleted and the committee feels that
it has acted with considerable wis
dom in making the award as it has.
The contract was not made with
out considerable thought and study
on the part of the committee. The
working model was examined close
ly. Men who knew Forrest best
were sought for advice. Old fol-
lowers of the general journeyed to
the city to examine the working
model and to pass judgment upon
the face and features of the general,
and the result of these visits and
conferences was that the committee
believed that the right artist had
been secured and his model was the
proper one to accept. The contract
was therefore awarded and the agree
ment, including the terms of pay
ment, was drawn and signed.
Mr.. Niehaus will begin work on
his return to New York an6 expects
to have the statue completed in the
time mentioned. After the action
of the committee the members adj
journed to the residence of Mrs.
Virginia Boyle, where an informal
reception was d.-Commercial

gives an intermission in his evening
serenade, until the owl suspends her
too hoo and lends an attentive ear,
until the nymphs draw near the
cautious tread, until every soul is
enraptured and each heart is carried
back in memory tt the feudal gran
deur of ante-bellum days. / think
l can spin some good yarns about
the old-time darkey, and tell some
stories of the cotton and the cane.

plantation. l think dew drop in
the lily's spotless bosom, kissed by
the morning sun, is more beautiful
than the diamond, and green hill
grander than palace. l think ev-
cry rose tells love story, and the
ripping music of brook is sweeter
than the music of the band. There
is more melody to me in the rich,
deep-mouthed baying of pack OF
hounds as they open up on the trail
of wary fox than in any sort Of
music, unless it is that of violin.
There is more genuine pleasure to
follow the noble bird dog on the
trail of the aristocratic 'bob-white'
and the thrill which goes through
your whole being when they rise il
a covey with mighty roar, is grea
ter than which pervades the hollow
hearts of the wine-fushed revelers

THE Somerville Reporter
and Falcon, has the following
to say concerning a gentle
man we'll known and popular
in Hardeman County: "While
we have not talked with
Judge Thomas j. Flippin in
regard to the matter, we are
reliably Informed that he will
not be a candidate for reelec-
ton. The Circuit having
been materially enlarged it
would require his entire time
and the duties would be more
arduous than he cares to as
sumo. Judge Flippin is a
strong man before the people
and had he again entered the
race he would no doubt have
been successful. By his vol
untary retirement, the judi
ciary of Tennessee will lose
one of it's ablest members.
Probably there is no Judge
in the state whose decisions
have been less frequently re-
versed by the Supreme
Court. We think he would
adorn a position on the Su-
preme Bench and would re-
fleet credit upon himself and

of the state as one Of its

CONCERNING the guberna-

has been almost a quarter of
a century since a governor of
Tennessee hailed from this
division of the state. East

furnished the great executive
head for that length of time.

that the next governor should
come from West Tennessee.
We have only one candidate
from this division and it is
almost certain there will be
no other. He is a gentleman
