The attractions of the capital are too

notorious that no othe city in the coun

visitor and. sight seer. The congress
sional library contains the finest exhibit

sonian Institute and grounds are more
attractive than any exposition ever pro-
duced. The treasury department., occu-
plying an immense building on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, contains more curious
and interesting features than can be
found in any building in this country
outside of Washington.
The population of Washington is
made up Of persons not only from every
state in the union, but there are domi-

every nation of Importance on the face
of the earth. Strange costumes and
unfamiliar faces and figures are as COM

CROP CONDITIONS.
A Summary for the Week Ending
September 8.

A Summary for the Week Ending
September 8.
Vicksburg, Sept. 9.-The mean tenn
perature was about normal Moderate
rains fell in nearly all portions of the
state during the early part of the week
and during the remainder of the period
the weather was clear and cool.
The heavy rains damaged the cotton
crop considerably throughout the state.
They not only beat out and stained the
open cotton but in some sections, where
the wet weather continued for a number
of days, caused it to spreut and rot
badly. Cotton on bottom lands in many
places Ia rusting and there are some
complaints of blight and shedding. Boil
weevils are doing considerable damage,
especially in the delta counties. The
late crop and second growth show some
improvement since the rains. The
clear, cool days of theiatter part of the
week were very favorable for gathering
the crop and much progress was made,
though in some sections the work is
retarded because Of scarcity of pfckers.
Old corn is sufficiently matured for
gathering and is being cribbed; young
corn is looking we'll and promises to
make good yield. Cane, peas. pota-
toes and pastures were greatly benefited
by the rains and are doing well in all
sections of the state.

Jackson, Sept. 10.-The school and
college season in Mississippi will
open during the next ten days, and
the attendance at the various insti-
tutions of learning, public and
private, promises to be larger than in
former years. The Industrial Insti-
tute and College at Columbus and
Mississippi College at Clinton opened
today, and both schools show a
heavy register Of students, the In
dustrial Institute and College having
over five hundred on the roll and
more to enter.
The general prosperity of the state
is largely reflected in the college
attendance, and all the institutions
endowed by the state as we'll as the
principal denominational colleges,
will have their facilities we'll taxed

Nearly all the public schools are to

Every one has trouble and in that
trouble he needs most of all u strong,
sympathetic friend. For this purpose,
Jesus left heaven and took upon him
our human nature, that he might be u
fully.equipped brother to every one In
need. His sympathy, his strength, his
tenderness, and his love are perfect.
Not everybody can be rich. For this
we should rejoice, as we love the wei
fare OF our country. A nation of rich
men would soon become q nation OF
weaklings. We need the constant bat
tie with necessity to keep US "fit," as
the athletes say.
Perhaps one reason why God does
not let Us he happy too long at a time
10 because o sunny spot offers too much
temptation TO linger. There must be
In life good deal of unhsppiness, a
good deal Of divine discomfort, In order
to keep US moving and striving.
The revealing of strength Is not made
until the pressure Of need comes. We
IMPOSE upon ourselves needless burdens
of anxiety by bringing the possible
cares and difficulties of tomorrow into
to-day.
