Lemon. also Of that town In small
towns. during the summer months, when
nothing is stirring, the men resort to

been the case in Greenwich during the
past few weeks. Mr.. Clark had a set

set turned up missing in some manner
and Clark accused Lemon of stealing
them. Lemon resented the accusation
and Clark insisted that he had them
and demanded that he give them up
Lemon refused and, It is alleged, that
he assaulted Clark with the small blade
Of a common pen-knife. He did good
execution with this small weapon, cut

RECOMMENDATToNs-


Pupils should be admitted 10 the first
grade only twice in the year. These times
should be during the school months Of
September and January. Having no re-
strictions in this matter has led 10 a
multiplicity Of classes One pupil enter
ing at odd times may require as much OF
the teachers labor as class OF ten en-
tering ut regular periods. No other
grade of our schools suffers from such
Reorganization.
An eighth grade should be established
at Park. This would relieve the Irving
district and also provide for the incoming
eighth from Park. The needed room At
Park may be had by combining the two
first grades there The boundaries Of
this eighth grade should be. on the
north. Twelfth street: on the east Fifth
avenue; on the south. Pine street: and
on the vast. city limits.
Also. an eighth grade should be estab-
Hshed at Lincoln This would relieve
Carleton and provide for the incoming
eighth from Lincoln. The incoming sixth
and seventh grades AZ Lincoln should be
sent 20 Harry. thus occupying all the
rooms there

should be simplIaed. The present plan
greatly interferes with the closing work

4 DECIDED DETERIORATION
In the Condition oil Gotten
Throughout the Country.

Reported by G.. T. Viyion, mana
ger of the waxahachie Exchange.
Washington, August 26.-The
statistician of the Department OF
agriculture says: A decided deter
ioration In the condition of cotton
is reported general throughout the
central and western portious of the
cotton belt, as well as ever large
part of the eastern district. The
most favorable reports are from the
Carolinas. In North Carolina the
condition is very promising, al
though the prevalence of rust is
widespread. On stiff soil in South
Carolina the growth is blooming
and fruiting, but on sandy soil rust,
shedding aud premature opening is
prevalent. Throughout the central
and western district. with the ex-
ception of orthern Mississippi and
portions of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory where the crop is doing
well, the reports indicate "a decided
decline in its condition. Rust is
spreading and premature shedding
being general. A yield in excess of
an average is improbable.
