The mMrally nMfti n erop correspoBdent Is quite pronounced and indicate at present very encouraging outlook. The mean temperature for the V .a. ahont 76 desrees. or slightly below the normal, in consequence of a lew cold nights at the beginning of the w the latter half was cult warm and sultry, and promoted the rapid t growth of all kinds of vegetation. Fine rains occurred everywhere during the week, generally in the shape of showers In the evening or at night, which did not materially Interfere with farm work, though at some places where the rainfall was heaviest the ground was too wet to plow for a few days. The rainfall aver aged about 1.25 inches, or slightly above the normal. A few severe storms witn ball and high winds occurred, chiefly on the 26th and 87th, with damage to eroos over limited areas, in which corn was broken down and fruit blown off trees. The soil is In excellent condition and work has been so well kept up that hardly any reports were received of trou Lie from grass or weed. - Cotton is growing rapidly and square are forming more freely; blooms have appeared fn many counties; complaints Af damaae bv lice are increasing. Corn continues to do well, the progress in lay . lug by was checked a little in the west by frequent rains, but without material in jury to the prosperous condition of the crop. While tobacco Is ratner uneven, with some fine hills, but the majority rather small, the plants seem no w -to be growing vigorously; topping has com inenced in the central-east portion. Oar dens and vegetables have Improved; pea nuts seem to be blooming freely; rice Is good, the prospects for late-planted Irish potatoes in the west have materially lm proved; a full crop of sweet potatoes cannot be planted, as the drought aa caused a scarcity of slips. A large crop of field peas has been planted. Spring oats will soon be ready to cut. Thresh ing winter wheat Is progressing slowly and result show a very short yteld but of excellent Quality. Pastures have be come green again. Early peaches and June apples are in market quality In forlor. The. blackberry crop is ripe and abundant; melons are very promising.

The Immense tent oI w ch c,oth, . pearance and the erop are doing Bnely, though not nearly o tar along a are the crop in the -vicinity of Klnston, ,Tbe Connecticnt farmers are very enthusiastic over tne prospect. The teet last year with a total of about 400 acres were so satisfactory that over 4,000 acres have been planted and tented this .year and Hartford will become an important to bacco market. The teet mad , in this neighborhood nnder ana pice of The Free Press have unfortunately all failed, owing to the late season when the wen begun. We are in so way discouraged however and shall make arragements for a thorough teet under mors favorable 1 circumstances for next year. The test was made this year only In the hop of I lability of some one of them amounting h little i I pectation that any of them would. The beds need thorough preparation in the fall, to be followed by careful attention during the spring, up to the time of seed owing. We can see no reason why this o can not grow anything tba can can be grown to the Connecticut yalley. Our soil is better for most crops, and the superintendent of the V. 8. Bureau of Soils says It possesses the peculiar prop erties necessary for Samatra tobacco, so it comes down to a question of cli mate, and certainly our climate is much more Ilk that of Sumatra than is that of Connecticut. Therefor we are still firm bell vers that both Samatra and Cuba to bacco can be successfully grown In Lb. nolr, Onslow, Craven and other neigh boring counties, and we shall not believe otherwise until a thorough test has been made." One successfully started It means many thousands of dollars added to the annual income of The Free Press tobacco growing friends. ' Lining For Wblte Ureases. : The question of a lining is a perplex ing one to the woman who dresses In white, for the lining costs more than the gewn,' and to line a fifteen cent cot ton means something when viewed from the standpoint of the pocketbook. As for the lining, it is a matter that cannot be ignored. All or very nearly all of the summer goods are transpar ent and the lining is distinctly visible, painfully so sometimes. , Of course it Is possible to use the plain cotton linings, just as one would with any . other gown, but these lin ings do not show up well, and they add nothing to the beauty of the dreca.- If you cannot afford to line well. then do not get a transparent dress.' so the modistes advise. And they send their customers tack to exchange dress patterns that show the lining too plain ly.' Adaptable Yachting- Coatnmea. ' The dressmakers and tailors .have this year made yachting costumes that are also suitable for traveling and walking. These have an etamlne or mohair skirt and a waist of different material satin foulard, checked silk. India silk or batiste These are not the familiar waists With' plaited front and pointed yoke bact, a style rele gated to various fancy' cottons and wash silks, but are made in rather fanciful fashion with t fluffy' front, a Gibson or seamless French back, bell sleeves with small puffed undersleeves and a girdlelike finish that is not too wide to give a slender effect New York Evening Post CU3.

One of Washington's noted fishermen is Major Dick Sylvester, the superin tendent of police for Washington and president of the National. Association of Chiefs of Police. The major, went fishing a few days ago and returned with a five pound black bass, which he sent to the presi dent with bis compliments. Two of the major's friends heard of his catch and asked about It a few days later when they were fishing at tne same place. . They met a country boy and said. "Is there good fishing up nerer , "Xea" replied the bov. "ifa fair. Major Dick was up last week fishing.' He caught a five pound bass. Inn derstand," observed one of the party, "and gave it to the president" "I dunno nothln' about his givin' it to the president," the boy said, "but gran'pap, he caught the fish." Social Secretaries Senreo. Wives of the cabinet ministers, who already are preparing for next winter's social season report that there is a re markable scarcity of young women in Washington who are ; competent to serve as social secretaries. Ip fact tnere are not enough to go half way around, and the cabinet ladles are in despair, because they know that the shortage means a repetition of the an guish and humiliation consequent upon blunders which followed them so re lentlessly all during last season: The social secretary is an important personage in Washington society. To be sure, she is not much in evidence herself, but ber handiwork is seen ev erywhere.' The making out of the in vitation , lists, the mailing of accept ances or declinations ' and the other routine work connected with the social season Is the small and unimportant part of the social secretary's-duties.
