Caruthers our enterprising real estate men, the advantages of Bolivar and of Hardeman County, are being brought before the public by means of the "Southern Immigrant," a newspaper pub lished at Memphis, whose circulation is extensive in the north and west. Wc understand that Mrs.

S. B. Ware, principal of St. Katharine's School, has a promise of more scholars from a distance the next term than at any previous time since assuming charge of that school. Under the present excellent management.

St. Katharine's is deserving of liberal patronage a fact that those of other states have realized. Mr. Martin Flcxner has returned to Bolivar, and resumed his former position with Kahn Bros. Martin left here about two months ago for Louisville, to engage in the dairy business with his brother, Jake Flcxner.

He informs us that the enterprise has proven a success from the beginning. He still retains his interest in the business. They have about 0,000 invested. Their herd numbers about 0 fine blooded cows. Mr.

C. H. Donalson, whose serious illness was published in the Bulletin week or more ago, died at his home in the 13th district last Monday. Mr. Donalson was a high-toned gentleman, whose character had a tendency to elevate those with whom he came in contact, and his familiar lace will be missed by those who knew hjm, and whose respect he had gained.

The burial took place lat Tuesday in the cemetery near Crainsville. The cultivation of the Russian sun flower lias been tried here this season on a small scale with satis- factory The stalks were larrre and woody, trrowincj to the of 10 or 12 feet e3ch bearing a single mammoth head, averaging about 33 inches in circum-1 ference and 14 inches in diameter, From five such heads, two quarts' of large juicy seeds were obtained, which are said to be very nutritious to stock, and especially so for poultry. The leaves when properly gathereo make good fodder, and the dried wood proves to be excellent for kindling. Professors J. T.

Rill and J. C. Watson, who will have charge of the Bolivar Male and Female Academy during the fall term, are making a close and thorough canvass of the surrounding country, and besides are distributing thou sands of pamphlets and catalogues in different sections of the country. The Bulletin is pteased to know that they are meeting with encouragement. By reference to their advertisement, it will be seen that such branches will be taught as will equip the young for the duties of life.

They are both young men and may be depended upon to exert themselves in behalf of those entrusted to their care. In this issue of the Bulletin appears the announcement of Mr. James A. Foster, who is a candidate to represent Hardeman County in the lower house of the Tennessee legislature, subject to the action of the democratic county convention, to be held in Bolivar, August 20th. Mr.

Foster is a member of the Uol ivar Bar, and is well known co the people of Hardeman County. lie takes an active interest in all matters political. He is strictly a party man, and is a strong advocate of the election of the democratic nominees, irom President down. lie promises if elected to discharge his duties faithfully, and to the best of his ability. He solicits the support of all democrats.

He needs no recommendation from the Bullktix. Indeed his record bears witness of his sterling worth and ability to fill acceptably the position to which he aspires. For several years past lie has been a member of the county court of. this county, and in that capacity he has been a faithful custodian of the county's interest, manifesting such qualifications essential for fitness as a representative. He is also one ot the substantial farmers of our county, and may be relied upon, if elected, to oppose all laws that would effect injuriously the agri cultural class, as well as those engaged in other pursuits, and to ad vocate only just and impartial legis lation.

After the adoption of the resolution, Hugh Williams, acting under I special instructions from Mr. An derson, offered his (Anderson s) resignation as a member of the com-mittee, giving as his reasons therefor that he opposed the "Congressional Convention" because he considered it the action of bolters.

lie and the people whom he represented favored the primary, ordered by the regular committee to nominate a candidate for congress. Mr. J. J. Kinney, of No.

4, also resigned as a member of the committee for the same reason that Mr. Anderson -re- signed refusing to become a party to a bolter movement. The vacancies were filled by appointing G. T. Webb, committeeman from No.

Her remains were buried in Union Cemetery Thursday morning. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. I). M. Mclvcr.

Mrs. Joyner was born in Hardeman county, near Toone, in 1870. She was the daughter of M. B. and Bettie Anderson.

Her iather died in 1882. Her mother, three brothers, J. C- E. and Austin Anderson, and one sister, Mrs. I.

L. Bringle, of-Covington, survive her. In February, 1S02, the subject of this notice was united in marriage to II. 1. Joyner, of Bolivar, by whom she had one child.

Mrs. Joyner was a member of the Christian church. 'Mrs. Joyner was in the prime of young womannood, loved and re spected by everybody, and her death has caused many genuine expressions of sorrow. The heart-1 broken husband and motherless little child have the sympathy of the community.

Will Release Scott Turner. Judge Cooper yesterday morning, at the request, by letter, of Gen. G. P. Turner, made an order retiring the case against Scott Turner from the docket of Shelby's Criminal Court, and instructing the authorities of the Bolivar Insane Asylum to release Scott when, in their opinion, it shall be safe so to do.

This order virtually turns young Turner loose for good, as it has been -said for some time that the physicians of the asylum are agreed that the young man's mind is not seriously affected. Young Turner has an unenviable record in this city. He was sent to the asylum under the present iasanity plea when about to be tried for killing R. E. L.

Hood. Gen. G. P. M.

Turner is his father, and as he has left the city for good and all, it is more than likely that 3'oung Scott will never again be seen upon the streets of -Memphis. The case against him is merely retired, not dismissed, and an order of the court can at any time it. Under these circumstances, Scott will hardly desire to abide in Tennessee, and perhaps it is best that he should not, for this portion of the state is sweeping a pretty clean sweep; and is now rather unhealthy for the class that Scott used to fraternize with. Commercial Appeal. Condition of Crops in Tennessee.

The effect of the hot and dry weather of the past week is beginning to be severely felt in portions of the Eastern and Middle Sections, while in the Western Section the continued drought combined with the intense heat is having quite a dis astrous effect on all crops except ear ly corn, cotton is rapidly neteno- rating snedding iruu, opening ab normally fast and drying up, and late corn in some portions will be worthless except for fodder. In all sections early corn seems to be safe with a fine crop on hand, but late corn will be seriously shortened. Tobacco in some countries is good but in others it is firing bad, and the worms are working great injury to the leaf. Much of the millet and seed clover crops are saved in good condition. The Pea crop is fine.

Plowing for fall seeding is practically suspended on account of the extreme heat and drvness. Pastures are failing rapidly. Good rains are much needed all over the State. -OF- 5 have, been carried by SmK people other localities, are fully satisfi be compelled, in order to res prosperity, to brills' in new neo the old lands.

Literary, Scientific and Commer cial. Fall term begins September 2, 1890. As to the standing of this old Institution nothing need be said, but the attention of the public is directed to some valuable additions re-: cently made as follows: Through the" generosity of that christian gentleman, Mr. W. T.

Adams, of Corinth, we were enabled to erect on the college campus during the vacation of last year, a thirty-two room Dormitory, capable of accommodating sixty young men. This building was completed by November 1, and so thoroughly popular did it prove that the entire space was taken before the Christmas holidays. The general Board of Trustees at its annual meeting in June being so impressed with the advantages offered in this new move unanimously voted to appropriate $8,000 to erect an additional Dormitory of double the capacity of the old, and for the work to begin at once. The new building is now going: up. and will bo ready for occupancy early in the fall.

DESCRIPTION. The building, when completed, will be a three story front with an eu two stories man. lhe rooms are heated by steam, and are thor oughly ventilated and well lighted. But two students are allowed in a room. The table will be bountifully supplied with welt prepared, wholesome food.

The board during the past year cost from G.15 to $7.15 per calender and averaged during the term $0.53 per month. We guarantee that it shall not exceed $7.00 per calender month during the next term. The commercial Department is in charge of an old experienced bookkeeper of twenty years experience. An unlimited scholarship, board, books, stationary, laundry and railroad fare, both wajs, will be furnished for $100. When two enter the same time from the same place, a deduction of $5.00 will be allowed on the tuition of each.
