/" SET OUT 4 TREE AS the season for trans
planting trees approaches, let every man who
owns a rod of soil try his hand at setting out
tree. No beauty in city. town or garden, can
vie with that of lines of forest trees with their
bursting buds and green leaves of Spring. and
their refreshing shade Of summer. The city
authorities ought TO make regular appropria-
ton for the transferring and cultivation of for
est trees in our streets. If the citizens of Bath
of olden time, had understood their response
bilities, they would have left for their descend
ants some nook or corner for a park, and fitted
it up with noble elms and naples for our COM
fort and health. But they did not do it, and
seeing their sin of omission, let US "set out

SLAVES IN THE U. S.-The census
statistics show that the number of
slaves in the United States was 697,-
S75, in 1870, and in1S5O, it was
3,170,5S9, showing an increase of q
48l,G91 since 1890. From 1880
to 1910, the. annual increase ofslaves
was 1881, and from J $40 to 1850
it was 69,223, and from 1850 to
1860 it will probably be as much as
$4,000. The number of slaves in
the United States in 1920 was L.
538,12S, which is about half the
amount Of the present slave populi.-
ton. It thus appears that the slave
population of this cou ntry has been
doubled within the las t thirty years.
The increase ofislaves within the last
ten years was 692,234, and it is
probable the increase will be 600,-
900 during the next ten years. In
1860, the Slaves will be about 4,000,-
900. At the end of next thirty
years, they will be about six millions
and a half and at the commencement
Of the next century they will. not fall
far short Of thirteen millions.

Bacon.

g The Importance of this tradeg j. be
coming more and more evident il
r connection with this city, (Ghltta.
) noOga.) Cincinnati owes much 0.
her prosperity to the hog trad r.
Situated in a section of county lgiv-
, en- to the raising of stock, she has
turned all her energy to command
the entire business Of curing b3con
and supplying the Southern demh hnd.
This is all well and proper East hnd
Middle Tennessee are well calcul@ted
for the same business Milliors of
hogs are annually raised and dr1 wen
or slaughtered, for home consui mp
! ton and markets farther South. -
In East Tennessee, the very favorl bile
situation of Chattanooga, for slau gh-
tering, has attracted the attention of
some of our most reliable citizens,
and in the few past years the quah hti-
ty Of bacon cured has increased With
great rapidity. and this year it will
be nearly double the preceding T.
Besides many contracts and private
sales, there will be 100000 pounds
Of bacon for sale this season. This
is but commencement of what it /
Wllf>be, Judging from the interest
manifested and capital which is dhily
being invested. There are men here
who calculate to supply the demands
at home, in North Alabama land
Georgia. We can see no rIason
why Chattanooga can not do this
much. If capital and energy CT ID ac-
complish this, we do not doubt but
that it will be done in f.w years.
We learn Of several who have, and
are making their arrangements TO be
ready for the coming season.
The bacon offered in Chattanooga
will be much better than that which
is commonly found in the markell i
llr. Grenville informed US that the
bacon in his buildings will be allowed
10 hang and light smoke kept up !,
bill all is sold. Hence it will be /,
seen that it will keep better and be
much sweeter than by the ordina ry
manner of curing it. Those who de-. |
ire to purchase, will find it to their.
interest to look to Chattanooga,
Being much nearer, and approached I
~ railroads and river from every 5
luarter,'it holds a great preference ,
'ver the markets farther North, a nd +
