N ‘mind t {gum and cypress, very large 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. In Mississippi thou- sands of acres that were planted af- ter the overflow last spring did not | mature thereby cutting the cotton crop in that state short. The price of cotton up to the past three weeks was very low and a mujority 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 Forida is good in 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, lemors, ete. I passed through the much talked of swamps of Arkansas, directly west of Memphis, Tennessee.

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 she 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 jrailroad track in front of an ap- proaching train aod 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 businese. i Pole-Angns Cattle Ihave 25 head of thoroughbred ‘ole Angus cows and heifers from!
