HERE'S A JACK STORY.
Animal Buried Three Weeks Ago by
Flood Found Alive.

Members of the crew ON the NJ, c.
q ST. l.. train tell an interesting story
concerning a jack that was washed
away in the recent flood. Last Friday
three weeks after the food-so the
story goes, some men at work on the
banks of Fountain Creek, near a sand
bar which was formed by the high
waters, noticed what they thought to
be a mules nose sticking up out of
the sand. Procuring picks and shovels,
the men went to work to dig up the
animal, which proved to be jack.
The strangest part of the story but the
men vouch for the truth of it is that
the jack was still alive, and that he
lived until Saturday morning, eating
food that was given him in the mean
time. The jack was founo near the
trestle of the NJ, G. q ST. L. railroad,
and two of the crew say they saw him.

Nashville, April 90. Maj. Bate, in
his weekly crop report, says
''The favorable weather which pre-
vailed the greater portion of the week
enabled farmers to advance the work
of the season and to make satisfactory
progress in planting corn and cotton,
and preparing for the later paintings
of spring crops Wheat that was not
flooded, or covered with soil, has i'm
proved, and is looking fairly WELL but
much of it is too thin to make much
of crop, and much of the late SOW
ing is being plowed up to be replaced
by corn or other crops. Spring oats
are making good growth Meadows
and pastures are coming out well.
Irish potatoes are about all planted
and some are coming up. Tobacco
plants are growing well, and are
plentiful; in some localities the beds
sown in January were frozen out.
Gardens, as rule, are late. In the
Western division tomato plants are
mostly set out, and Strawberries are
doing fairly we'll. In most sections
the prospects for peaches are good; in'
others some injury by the late frosts is
reported this is true in some of The

great outlay and yet is carried on at

STATE HAPPENINGS.

One of the robbers who robbed the
postoffice and store at Stribbling,
Stewart county, several nights ago.
was tracked by blood hounds and over
taken. When brought to bay he opened
fire on the pursuing party and probably
fatally wounded one man. The robber
was armed with breech- loading shot
gun and a thirty eight Marlin and
every dock,t was full of cartridges
and shells. The party returned the
fire, and the robber was killed. The
stolen goods were found on his person
and on his vest was pinned a shield
such as detectives wear, with the
words, Grammar Detective Bureau,
Cincinnati. o., on it.

1.-THE appearance of mosquitoes in

template their presence till frost. .

There is at the present time a crisis
in the question of co-education Of the
sexes. The President of Northwestern
University has warned the trustees
that change in the system is needed !;
the students at Columbia are at open
war over the matter; Wesleyan has
limited the number of women to 90
per cent of the total attendance, and
Stanford has placed 500 limit on
women no matter how large the college
grows. The number of women at
college is increasing relatively more
rapidly than the number of men, and
at the end of decade, at the present
rate, women will be in the majority
at educational institutions intended
primarily for men alone.

they had been given a bath. The
