POOR OUTLOOK FOR
 THE, MAIZE CROP.

Buenos Ayres. March 2S.-The outlook for the maize crop is very bad at present Nearly month of drouth has done tremendous dam age to lhe maize plantations, and it is estimated that already 5a per cent of the total crop has been lost If rain doos not fall soon the damage will b2 even greater and the surplus for export will be very small indeed, and added to the want of rain. the grasShoppers have also done some damage 10 the young corn. From the districts of De Julio. Chivliony, Sulpaei}a, Carlos Casares, etc, adVlces are te hand that the crop is completely lost The general opinion is, that even if rain were to come now the export surplus would not be much more than 100000 to 2,00O,00o also suffering severely from the same causes, as the pasture lands are all shrivelled up, and unless the drouth comes to an end soon large numbers of cattle and sheep will be dying by starvation. The province of Entre Rios has suffered exceptionally in this respect and farmers there have been slaughter ing large numbers of their sheep in order to leave sufficient for the

Hold Your cotton.

/ IT. H. Thurmcnd, in The Cotton Journal.)
Since the rapid decline in prices OF
cotton started several weeks ago
have been watching developments
| closely to try and find the cause.
Notwithstanding the fact that
some mills or spinners are badly in
need of cotton, some having closed
down for lack of supply of raw ma
terial, l find that they (that is the
spinners) have entered into an agree
| ment with the bear element of New
York to the effect that if the spinner
would stay out of the market and
not buy any cotton 30 Gays the bear
would put the market down so that
the mill men could. buy cotton or
contract cotton" cheap" The
spinners have lived up to their part
Of the contract and we see the re-
suit.
Last year this time the spinners
were buying cotton at "any old
price" and we know they need cotton
now worse than they did then. The
last two weeks experience should
be an object lesson to every cotton
planter and convince him that he
has no friends unless he holds his
cotton. You ask me why | know
there was a mutual understanding
between the spinners and the bears?
One of the main reasons is some of
the large mills who are known to be
short on stock have been offered cot
ton for less than the market price
and invariably the reply comes back,
mot in the market
If there ever was a time that
southern man should show his loyal
ty to the south it is now. Hold
your cotton!
Sherman's army did not do half
the damage that New York bears
and their followers are doing every
year, and yet the south rose UP in
arms against one evil, and a great
many sons Of the dear old men who
died for the cause" are sitting
serenely down and letting these Shy
locks rob us Of hundreds of millions
Of dollars. l sincerely trust that
the convention of spinners, planters,
etc, to be hold at Atlanta will ac-
complish great good. After all the
cotton planters will find that his only
safeguard is in organization and
holding cotton as fixed by the South
ern Cotton Association.

New Arrangement Of the Stars.

Wilmington Messenger.)
There will soon have to be new
arrangement of the stars in the field
of our national flag AS every one
knows the present national flag con-
tains forty-five stars-one for each
state in the union-arranged in six
rows, with seven and eight stars in
each alternate row. When the forty
sixth star is added, on coming into
the union of the state of Oklahoma,
the present symmetry Of arrange
ment must necessarily be destroyed.
Somebody's ingenuity will be taxed
to devise a new plan for the flags
fl Q d which will make it as symmetri-
cal as the present.

Drinking In Public.
Christian SUM-

Y
Had you taken time to observe
that there is shame, if not scorn and
disdain, for the fellow who dares to
take drink in a public place these
days? Time was, and not long ago,
when at a hotel, Or a railway car,
one did not hesitate to pass around
the bottle and fill the air with the
unhallowed perfume of strong drink.
You do not see that in our times
much. We have come to better
things.
This writer was at a lunch counter
in a railroad hotel recently when a
very courteous and courtly dressed
fellow drew his bottle and requested
glass with ice water. "Will you
kindly go to the ante-room to drink,
please?" the clerk graciously re-
quested. 'No, am not ashamed of
this place to drink in," retorted the
bacchanalian. 'But, my dear sir,
we of the place are ashamed of you
is the trouble" replied the clerk.
And that was the center shot. The
fellow took his drink, bowed himself
out Of the place amid the shame and
scorn of the spectators, while the
clerk was commended for his courtly
and courageous deed and manner.
eve are ashamed of you," is the
hotel clerks and the public's verdict
against the man who flaunts the fact
that he loves the bottle and is not
ashamed of it. This is well. If a
man will drink, is fully determined
upon that sort of thing, let him not
faunt that fact to the public these
times. 1t is not good for him. 1t is
no longer considered the big and
manly thing to do. The biggest and
manifest men are letting the fool
stuff alone.

The Sun Is Always shlnin'.

tFrom The Young Catholic Messenger.)
When you go to gettin' troubled, an
the world seems upside down
When misfortune stares upon yoU
with an awful-lookin' frown,
There's a cheerfulness in KNOWN
when it's dark for me an you
That the sun is always shinin', an
the sky is Away blue.
When the clouds appear the thickest
an the daylight seems with
drawn,
An the hopeful joy O livin' seems to
be entirely gone,
Just remember, when the darkest,
just little distance through,
That the sun is always shinin', an
the sky is always blue.
So there amt no use in frettin' at the
hardships that we meet,
For the birds are still a-singin', an
the flowers are just as sweet;
An behind the deepest shadow
there's heap O. promise, too,
For .tl e sun is always shinin' an tt e
sky is always blue.
