Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending May L, 1905.
The closing week in April indicated
trend towards normal temperature
In the Mississippi valley the daily
mean was about A degrees above; in
the central district above normal,
and in the Mississippi valley about
4 degrees below normal.
The rainfall was light in the
northern section; about normal in
the central, and somewhat in excess
OF present needs in portions of the
southern section.
Fair progress has been made in
farm work, except in the localities
where rainfall was excessive. Plow-
ing for corn is more than usually
advanced and if the weather is warm
and dry planters will be afield in
all districts of the state the first
week in May. Reports from the
northwest and southwest districts
state that some farmers began plant
ing as early as April 9th.
Wheat, oats, barley and rye are
growing finely. Pastures and mead
ows show a good stand of grass.
Fruit trees give promise of full
bloom and show but little damage
by freezing. The general crop
situation is excellent.

BOATING ON THE NILE.

The Bcst Pilots Run Aground Two OF
Three Times IL Day.
Navigation on the Nile Is not SO COM
a.icated Il matter as upon the north
Atlantic, writes Alonzo Clarke Robin
son In Outing. To run ut full speed
upon sand bar is an occurrence Of
such frequency as hardly to elicit
comment from the passengers. The
crew tako more interest because they
arc obliged to push the boat Off again
with poles. and this entails great
amount Of shouting and some work.
The Nile below the first cataract is a
fairly broad. muddy river. flowing be-
tween deposed banks varying from
six to eight to twenty to thirty feet in
height Its surface Is interrupted ev-
erywhere by sand splits and islands
upon which are to be seen thousands
Of birds. The channel, II such it can
be called, winds from one side to the
other and changes completely with ev-
cry flood; hence even the best pilots
run aground two or three times day.
1t is, Of course, impossible to proceed
Mt night, and ench days voyage comes
to an end wherever darkness happens
to overtake one. The boats nose Is
simply run plump on the bank, two
men leap out and drive stakes to which
to make fast. and there you are for the
night. A very simple and effective
method. without any ostentation and

lords every peer Frustrated himself
with Asiatic servility. An entry in the

chancellor on Jan. 16, 1541, in which
the kings goodness and wisdom are

den, August 30, 1881, and died of
catarrhal trouble at that same dear
old place, Sunday last, at the tender
age of % years, highly esteemed by
all who knew her, she having re-
sided there all her life, and has
been a successful teacher in the dis
trict schools of this county for
several years. Miss Martha was
very we'll known to the young peo-
pie of this vicinity, who will very
much regret her untimely death.
Her funeral occurred Tuesday after

Meeting of School Board.

At a meeting of the school board
Monday night the following mem.
bcrs were present, Messrs. uutchin-
son, Smith, Rlbeneau and Jones.
The minutes Of last meeting
and special meeting were approved.
A tax levy for the next year was
voted. Teachers fund $500 and
contingent fund $4,000. 1t being
the opinion of the board that a re-
duction of $1,000 on the regular
levy for tho teachers fund should be
made this year, there being that
amount of surplus in the teachers
fund received from back taxes. It
was the desire of the board to cut
down the taxes as much as possible
this year, because of the additional
expense incurred in building. 1t
was therefore reduced from $500,
which it has been for many years, to
$65O0.
