Tennessee Jerseys now lead the world.
There are in the Failed States about 20,-
0(a) registered .horsey cattle. Of these
aout 1,200 are owned in Tennessee.
There are only about 0,000 cattle in
tlie Island of Jersey. (It is only nine by
eleven miles wide.) Importations have
practically ceased, owing to the high
tariff imposed by the American Jersey
Cuttle Club for registering imported
animals.
Tennessee Jerseys are now by many pre
ferred to imported animals. This prefer
ence is largely due to tlie fact that the
Tennessee breeders have been morelibernl
in buying and in advertising as well as
more judicious in breeding and feeding.
Of the official tests made by the A. J.
(’. C . a majority are of Tennessee cows.
The richest cowin the world, that has
given more butter to the quantity of
milk, was bred and is now owned in
'Tennessee. The cow with the largest
annual yield of butter in the world is
owned and was developed in Tennessee.
Also the average prices at annual sales
have been higher in Tennessee than any
where in the United States.
Thus it is evident that the cattle inter
est of Tennessee' is rapidly growing
faster. indeed, than any other branch of
stock farming. This is chiefly due to the
fad that, the products of cattle are quick
and constant. Cattle, especially Jerseys,
eonm to maturity at two or three years,
and the cows begin to pay their way
from that time on. Milk and butter fur
nish the raw material for a very consid
erable industry, and make daily returns.
Chicago News: A young man who had
been lost on a Dakota, prairie for three
days finally came upon a wagon trail
and started to follow it. He had not
gone far when he came upon a piece of a
►St. Paul newspaper which some teamster
had thrown away. He picked it up
eagerly and the first words which struck
his eye were contained in the following
flaring headlines: ‘‘The Northwest is
overcrowded. No room for young men."

Kicks From the Kicker.
We extract the following items from
fhe latest issues of the Arizona Kicker:
“Important Notice —We shall next
week begin the publication of a weekly
column devoted to society gossip. The
movements of society people, balls, par
ties, visits, etc., will be chronicled as far
as space will permit, and this will be
done without increasing the subscription
price of the Kicker, which is $2 per year
in advance. We hope to receive the
assistance of all the ladies in this enter
prise. When anything occurs let them
semi us an outline of it, say as follows:
“On Wednesday evening last Mrs.
Chuck a Luck received a few friends at
her elegant abode on Coyote avenue.
Seven-up and old sledge were indulged in
(as well as whiskey punches) until a late
hour, and the guests departed to their
homes in the happiest mood. There are
no flies on Mrs. Luck. Her former expe
rience in Chicago as a hash-slinger in a
cheap hotel fits her to play the part of
iiostess to perfection.”
“Left for the Sfa Shore. —Sunday
evening last our friend and fellow-towns
man. Col. Bivens, left for the Atlantic
sea-board to spend the heated term
among his old friends.
“He was accompanied by a detective,
to see that he did not lose his way.
“It is said he will stop off at Sing Sing
for a time.
“The Colonel left in a hurry, and had
no time to laid his friends good-bye. We
wish him bon voyage, and hope the sea
breezes will do him good.”
Liars at Work. —The liar is still with
us, and his Jvenomous tongue is still at
work. He has, as his latest transaction,
covered the town with the report that
we attended Mrs. Maj. Gordon’s birth
day party without a shirt on, and in a
coat borrowed of Sol Jackson, the livery
stable inau.
‘‘lt is ail infamous calumny!
“ft is a lie steeped in malice!
“It is a slander worthy of the days of
Nero!
“We not only wore a shirt, but we had
another at the office.
“We not only didn’t borrow Sol Jack
son's coat, but we wore one which we
have owned for fourteen years. We be
lieve this lie emanated from the Widow
Stevens, who set her cap for us and got
left. We are tracing it, lipmc, and the
authoress of it had better be prepared to
skip.”
Clerk Reitrneyer, of JLewisburg, Pa.,
was in love with a Chicago girl, and they
“corresponded.” But the love making
stopped many months ago because the
young man did not receive an answer to
his “last letter.” He was too high strung
to ask an explanation. Last week he
received the answer to his last letter, and
a note of explanation accompanied it.
A commercial traveler, while riding on a
Maine railroad, purchased a magazine
published in Chicago, and between the
pages he discovered the letter addressed
to Reitrneyer. It was sewed fast. It
had a stamp upon it but no postmark.
The drummer was mystified, and upon
reflection sent on the letter as directed.
It seems that the y oung woman worked
in a bindery, and that she had placed
the-letter between the pages for safekeep
ing. Forgetting that she lmd not
mailed it, she concluded that her lover
had left her. The correspondence has
been resumed.
Are Southern Railroads Prepared ?
For several years the traffic of South
ern railroads has increased more rapidly
than the facilities for handling it. Much
inconvenience has resulted, and business
has at times been seriously hampered.
Especially has this been true during the
cotton movement season. Within the
next four or five months the volume of
Southern railroad traffic will be so large
as to dwarf by comparison the trade of
all former years. Are the railro'ads pre
pared to handle this enormous traffic?
All indications now point to a cotton
crop fully as large as last year and to full
yields of other crops, sothere isnot likely
to beany shortage of agricultural freight.
In theiron regions the many new furnaces
which have recently gone into blast and
those nearly ready to blow in will create
an astonishingly large amount of freight.
The increase in the iron and mining busi
ness of Alabama albne in 1888 over 1887
will be fully 5,000,000 tons of freitrht, and
very much of this gain will be felt within
the next two months, or by the time the
cotton crop begins to move. The volume
of traffic which this means almost stag
gers belief. These 5,000,000 tons of new
freight to be added to the already heavy
railroad traffic of that State represents
250,000 carloads of 40,000 pouudseach.
As the cotton crop of the State only af
fords about 200,000 tons of freight, we
can get some idea by this of what 0,000,-
000 tons of new freight means. Not only
in the mineral interests, though, is there
an enormous increase m freight traffic.
In the lumber business, in passenger trav
el and in general trade great gains are
being made. Even, now at what is usu
ally the dull season, there is a scarcity of
cars, and shipments are thereby delayed.
What will be the condition three or four
months hence, when the cotton crop will
be rushed to market, and when the blow
ing in of the other furnaces now nearly
completed shall have developed the im
mense mineral traffic already mentioned.
In view of these facts we may well ask. are
Southern railroads prepared? if not, no
time is to be lost, for the business is near
ly ready, and there ought to be no ham
pering of it by lack of transportation fa
cilities. —Manufacturers Record.
