A Trip Through the South.
Ed. Times. Iu my recent trip
through the south I visited several
southern 6tates. On the 25th and
26th of December last in the central
and eastern portions of North Caro
lina snow fell to a depth of fourteen
inches. The wheat, corn and to
bacco crops in that state was very
good. Wheat is selling for eighty
cent per bushel, corn sixty c nts
per bushel, tobacco very cheap in
the leaf; flour is selling for less
money than in Missouri; pork and
beef is retailed about the same as in
Bates county. The present grow
ing crop of wheat is looking fine
The fruit crop the laBt year was al
most a failure The wheat, corn and
oat crops in Tennessee, Kentucky
and Virginia were fair and are sold
at good figures. The cotton crop in
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and
South Carolina the past year were
about one half of that of the pre
vious year. Iu Mississippi thou
sands of acreB that were planted af
ter the overflow last spring did not
mature thereby cutting the cotton
crop in that 6tate short. The price
of cotton up to the past three weeks
was very low and a majority of the
farmers were compelled to sell at
verp low figures. Several cotton
raisers who were not compelled to
sell held their crop aud received
better prices. The farmers in these
cotton raising states are some
what superstitious and firmly be
lieve that the election of Grover
Cleveland sounds the keynote to the
present high prices of cotton.
The present crop of torpical fruits
in Florida is good iu certain por
tio . s of the state, but the recent
cold weather in that state has done
great damage to the coming crops
of oranges, lemoce, etc.
I passed through the much talked
of swamps of Arkansas, directly
west of Memphis, Teunessee. This
low lands or swamp as it is general
ly called, is almost entirely covered
with water and the growth timber
is immense, consisting of sweet
gum and cypress, very large and !
so thick that I was impressed with
the idea that if a sinner were to get
lost and die therein, the Old Nick
himself could not find him.

Victims ot Monte Carlo.
Loudon, Dec. 20. From Monte
Carlo comes the news of two tragic
events in one of which an American
was the victim. The American who
is described as a young man 23
years old and of good appearance,
lost" 3,500 belonged to his mother
and which sho had entrusted to his
care. Luck went against him from
the first and he played wildly in the
hope of recovering his losses. When
the last gold piece was gone, he
walked silently out of the casino, at
tracting no attention however, more
than other unfortunate gamblere.
Near Nintimiglia, about eighteen
miles from Nice, the distracted
young man threw himself on the
railroad track in front of an ap
proaching train and was crushed to
death under the wheels
Another gambler, whose nationali
ty is not stated, and who had lost
nearly everything in the casino, took
the train from Monte Carlo, appar
ently with the intention of returning
home, and shot himself dead with a
revolver, while on the train. The
gambling tables at Monte Carlo are
doing a flourishing business.
Pole-Anjrns Cattle
I have 25 head of thoroughbred
Pole Angus cows and heifers from

A ltit Wheat Yield.
Topeka, Kan., Dec. 20. Rev. J.
H. Lathrop of Decatur county, was
in the city to-day, and the news
which he brought regarding the
wheat harvests in that county was
amazing. He had iu his possession
a package of fine, large wheat that
was grown there by a man named
Lacey. Mr. Lacey made the remark
able average of 52 bushels of wheat
to the acre onhiB farm, which is con
sidered the largest crop ever grown
in Kansas. A part of it received the
first premium at the Decatur county
fair. Mr. Decatur county at the rate
of 100 car loads a week, aud that at I
the present rate of shipping the can
be kept up for six months.

'How do I do it? Eating water
cresses. I was in Europe several
years ago and an old doctor that I
met in Italy told me about it I was
using tobacco moderately then and
didn't wan't to quit the habit, but of
late I have smoked to excess. I
tried in vain to rid myself of the de
sire for a cigar, but it grew instead
of being lessened. I went to a doc
tor and he gave me some medicine
but that did me no good. As I was
lying in my bed night before last I
remembered the advice of the Italian
doctor. Early yesterday morning I
went to the market anJ brought
back a bag full of watercress. I be
gan to eat it and instantly all dcsiie
for tobacco had gone from me. bix
hours later I wanted a cigar, but
instead of buying one I went to my
room and ate a bunch of watercress.
It produced the effect I wanted .1
once. I remembered that the old
physician told me that if a person
would eat liberally of it for a month
he would never waut to use tobacco
again. I intend to try it. So far it
has worked admirably. Republic.

Buried Confederate Money.
Denisou, Texas Dec. 20. Mr.
Sam Legget t, a wood-chopper, mad
a singular discovery near here yeH
terday. Leggett went to the woods
on the bauks of the Choctaw to cut
a large red oak. After cutting into
it for a few moments, a decayed spot
was reached aud a few more chips
flew to the stroke of the ax, when a
cavity was reached which extended
to the ground. The tree was chop
ped down and Legget discovered a
box made of bois de'arc. The box
was secured by nails aud wrapped
with wire. When forced oped it was
found to contain about $10,000 in
confederate money and an old silver
watch and gold chain. It was un
doubtedly secreted during the days
of the rebellion.
The matter of setting out apple
orchards caunot be. pushed aside as
unimportant. In the near future
this will be the leading industry or
mans of obtaining ready money,
and the profits from an orchard of
well selected winter fruit will far ex
ceed the average wheat ciop. There
is one thiug certain, our people will
have to plant what the soil and cli
mate is more nearly adapted to, and
situated as this southwestern
country is, of easy access to market,
etc., it is pre eminently adapted to
fruit raitiug. Everv foot of hill
land, and nearly all in the country
is susceptible of grape growing and
small fruits are prolific. We should
like to sie more of our people be
coming interested in orchards and
B'va l fruits. Springfield Leader.
