Mornine Grain Letter.

!. Chicago, Sept. 1.-The weather map
this morning shows some rain In the
in the northwest which may interfere
with harvesting operations. Deliver
les this morning are rather lighter
than expected, about 1,75O,0O0 bushels,
we are rather inclined for steady
market.
Corn-Foreign markets are strong
again this morning and we expect
continuance Of export demand unless
prices advance too rapidly. We think
advantage should be taken Of all weak
spots on which to make purchases.
Oats-Deliveries are about 100000
bushels, but that it not apt to cause
any weakness. Renewed speculative
activity Is apparent and the market
advances very easy with new buying.
The cash situation is healthy and the
demand shows improvement.

Chicago, Sept. Traders who are
bullish on wheat said they looked for
la better market after the forced
liquidation in September is over. The
general belief among the traders last
might was that so long as present
carrying charges exist short sales on
good bulges above this level will be
profitable. Traders said that they do
mot expect the market to move very
far from the present level until reci-
Iprocity is decided as the Canadian
election will be held Sept. 81. In case
reciprocity should not carry they an
iticipate an entire change of the wheat

Passing Thought.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
The fact that some women are
not travelling the straight path of
moral rectitude does not cause me
to lose one particle of faith in
womanhood, because l know that
if it was not for the perfidy of some
superlatively bad pretensions at
manhood no woman would ever
travel through life any other way
than the hign plane of purity.
When it comes to the woman's
side of the question, we can hardly
blame her for concluding that
nearly all men are as crooked NOR
ally as the devil wants them to be,
from the fact that man has so acted
from the time he partook of the
forbidden fruit with woman in the
Garden of Eden and turned States
evidence, so to speak, and declared
that the poor woman was the cause
of his SHINING against God, SO that
she could hardly come to any other
conclusion.
All down the ages of time man
has acted so superlatively devilish
and unbecoming the being God
made him in the eyes of woman,
she finds it hard to believe there
are any true men, and, sad to say, I
fear, her opinion comes near being
a fact.

Tennessee, and other speakers in
terested in the work. Later in the
year we hope to have experts visit
the fields of number of the boys
in differeat sections of the county
and give instructions there, then
in the fall the corn show.
The corn club is not an expert
ment, though new to most localities
in Benton County. However, some
local clubs are already organized,
and others are ready for organiza-
ton. Our sister county, Henry,
has done great work the past year
in this line, and some splendid
premiums have been won by boys
of other West Tennessee counties,
including trip to Washington
City, and $lC0 in cash by boy
from near Covington. Tenn.
Benton County has rich allu-
vial soil, especially in river and
creek bottoms, and should easily
produce as good corn and as large
yield per acre as any part of the
State.
It is earnestly desired that par
ents and teachers cooperate in this
work. Would you keep your boy
at home, have him love the old
farm, and place in his hands a
knowledge which will make him
independent? Educate him along
right lines,
We are especially anxious to get
in communication with farmers,
merchants, and others who are will
ling to encourage the work by CIV
ing cash or other premiums. Lets
have first prize of say $50; a sec.
ond, S25; a third, $40, etc. A good
buggy, an up to-date corn drill, a
gold watch, a bicycle, shot gun,
nice hat, pair of ure-bred pigs,
books on agriculture, trips to Nash
vile, Jackson, ETC., are some sug-
gestions for premiums.
Our county has some as enter
prising citizens as any other in the
State, so lets announce good list
ofpremiums in which every public
spirited citizen and business man
has some part.
The names of such boys only as
will tend the acre of corn are de-
sired. SO if you are a school boy,
and want to be a member of the
corn club, send in your name as
soon as possible, then we can get
the needed literature Gall free) at
once and begin studying for the
spring planting.
Very truly yours for the interest
of our county and its boys and girls.
