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." A gold bracelet, at or near the Baptist church, Sunday, Bth inst. The finder will be rewarded on leaving it at this office, er with Rev. W. H. Cooper. R. C. Rowan. 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.
