Had Some Rain

The long drouth was partially
broken here last Friday evening
with a rainfall of two inches. 1t
rained over an hour, and while it
did not extend over the entire
county, and was local in its nature,
yet it did much good. It helped
crops some and gave new life to
late gardens. The drouth cut the
corr crop short in this county and
the late hay crop was greatly dam
ed. Both corn and hay will be
scarce. Cotton is doing fairly
well.

old schooners Recome earuea

Disposal of large numbers Of old
schooners, to say nothing Of an over
supply of new wood ships, has been Q
problem for the past few years. River
and canal men, meanwhile, have beer

these two facts together, Eastern ship.
builders have now evolved a new form
Of schooner barge, made by removing
the upper works and the belOw-deck
cabins and bulkheads of the sch0oners
Such barges are capaciOus and have
the advantages Of speed In towing and
seaworthiness for coast work, and Il

schooners for barge work already are

Fine Success

The First Annual Southern
Shorthorn Exhibition and Sale.
promoted by the Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis railway and
the American Sborthorn Breeders
Association, was held at Columbia,
Tenn, June 20 and 81, is history,
and exceeded the most sanguine
expectations of both the manage
ment and the public. The quality
and condition of the Offering we're
of the most pleasing character,
which, together with the unanimity
with which the enterprise as a
whole, was conducted, amounting
almost to a sensation. Never be-
fore had so large consignment of
pure bred cattle been brought to-
gether in a southern show and
sales arena in such an attractive
finish, and the prices realized from
their sale scared beyond the fond
est hopes.

The secondhand dealers all over
italy have cornered the bronze 10 and
5 centime pieces, which they have
melted down and sold as ingots for
soldering at two and three times the
price the pennies cost them. This has
caused a great deal of annoyance, as
small change is scarce, and in some Of
the cafes stamps have been given as
change. The government has reduced
the size Of the new 10 and 8 centime
pieces, but even that has done little
good, so It has now decided to coin the
new pennies out Of a composition
