The following statement of the crop in Louisiana was made to-day by G. G, Lee, commissioner of agriculture of Louisiana : The cotton crop throughout the State has been cut short for the past three weeks from 10 to 30 per cent.

Rapideses is from 25 to 35 per cent, short, as is also Caddio, Bossier, St. Landry, Pointcoupee and West Feliciana and East Feliciana 50 per cent, short. The Florida par ishes are from 40 to 50 per cent, short, Estimating last year's crop at 100, the total crop of the State this year will not oyer 50 to 60 per cent. TENNESSEE, Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 22.-The State commissioner of agriculture has not heard from more than half his agents in the counties in regard to the crop statistics for the month of August. An estimate based upon the returns I mation from other places, the crop is put at obout 50 per cent, of the average. The effects of the protracted heat and drought are painfully apparent in the amage 10 ine com and cotton crops and it is not unlikely that 50 per cent, is too high an estimate for these sta ples. Later returns, however, may ma terially alter these figures. POPULISTS ENDORSED KITCHIN. At the county convention at Went- worth a lew days ago, the Populists en dorsed Mr. W. W. Kitchin, Democrat ic nominee for Congress from the Fifth District. If the Populists throughout the district endorse Mr. Kitchin, he will almost certainly be elected. TO BE ELECTED.

One woman was killed and several men wounded Since operating in the locality their in Alienee had become so great that con gregations of old churches were disinte grated and hundreds were converted to the new doctrine. The moral in fluence was of a baneful character, Husbands and fathers feared for their wives and children and domestic ties were broken- Tne band meanwhile was preaching sanctification and holi ness. The men of the attacking mob fought with desperation, indicating a determination to oust the intruders. xne leaders oi tne sane ti tied band are Sadie Collins and a man named Lynch." RINGWOOD NEWS.

He travelled in a slow going stage-coach while you take the lightning express or the elec tric car. ' When he was sick he was treated by old fashioned methods and given old fashioned medicines, but you demand modern ideas in medicine as well as in everything else. Hood's Sarsapanlla is the medicine of to-day. It is prepared by modern methods and to its preparation are brought the skill and knowledge of modern science. Hood's Sarsaparilla acts promptly upon the blood and by making pure, rich blood it cures disease and establishes good health. . $100 Reward $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dsease, requires a consti tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting direct ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease," and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative poweis, that they offer One Hundred Dollais for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

Don't Stop Tobacco. HOW TO CUKE YOURSELF WHILE USING IT. The tobacco habit grows on a man until his nervous system Is seriously af fected, impairing health, comfort and happiness. To jult suddenly is too se vere a shock to the system, as tobacco to an inveterate user becomes a stimu lant that his system continually craves. "Baco-Curo" is a scientific cure for tho tobacco habit, in all its forms, carefully j compounded alter tne lormma oi an eminent Berlin physician who has used j it in his private practice since 1872, with out a failure. It is purely vegetal:, and guaranteed perfectly harmless. You can use all tho tobacco you want wbilo taking "Baco-Curo." It will notify you when to stop. We give a written guar antee to cure permanently any case with three loxes, or refund the money with 10 per cent, interest. "Baco-Curo" is not a substitute, but a scientific cure, that cures without the aid ot will pow er and with no inconvenience. It leaves the syhteui as pure and free from nicotine as the day you took your fu st chew or smoke. Cured by baco-curo ani gained thir ty pounds.

I took various rem edies, among others "No-To-Bac," "Tho Indian Tobacco Antidote," "Double Chloride of Gold," etc., etc., but nono of them did me the least bit ol good. Finally, however I purchased a box of your "liaco-Curo" and it has entirely cured me of the habit in all its forms and I have increased thirty pounds in weight and am relieved from all the numerous aches and pains of body and mind.
