of the crop, however, was sown late
and is generally reported in excellent
condition. In some counties wheat is
becoming too rank and is being pas

vorable for corn gathering and in
many localities that work is nearly

Some days ago Director Row.
land OF the department of archives
and history wrote the following let
ter TO Robert Todd Lincoln:
''The State Of Mississippi is build.
ing a beautiful new capitol, which
is now nearing completion. One Of
its most interesting and attractive
features viii be a hall of fame ded-
icated to the great men Of our State
and country, in which their like
nesses may be placed in order that
they may serve as an inspiration to
those who come after. We of the
South now realize the greatness and
goodness and grandness Of the char
acter of President Abraham Lin
coin, your honored father, and
would honor his memory. Our
own Lee has been given a place in
the temple of fame located on the
other side of Mason and Dixon's
line and his name stands with that
of Lincoln. Your father belongs
to the worlds immortals, and moth
ing that we could do would add to
his fame. We can, however, show
our respect and love for him. Per-
NIT me, therefore, in the name Of
the State, to invite you to place a
portrait of President Lincoln in the
new capitol of Mississippi, that it
may symbolic his love for his coun-
try, his devotion to duty and his
heartfelt sympathy for the Southern
people. Your cooperation and as
sistance will be most heartily appre-
ciated."
The reply of Mr.. Lincoln came
to hand last week, as follows:
'Your letter of October 21 was
duly received, but it has not here
tofore been practicable to comply
with your request. / have now
been able to procure what I regard
as the best large engraved portrait
Of President Lincoln, and take
pleasure in sending it to you by ex-
press today. Thanking you fol
your kind expression, / am very
truly yours,

oyster Tax Income.

It now looks very much like the
tax imposed on the oyster industry
by the last legislature will yield
about what was expected, according
to Auditor Cole. 1t was predicted
that the State would receive about
$4,000 per annum from this source,
of which $4,000 was to be used for
the improvement of the oyster beds
under the direction CT the oyster
commission, and the indications are
that this was not far wrong. The
season has just started and the treas
ury has already received s2,155.75
from this source. 1t has disbursed
$1,055, the same being for salaries
and the incidental expenses neces-
sary to get the new system Of inspec-
ton and taxation in working order.
