Steam Ploao Man.factory.-We invite the at

E. c. PEET, who is now erecting an establish
ment in our town, to be worked 10y steam, for
the purpose of making all kinds of Farming
utensils. He now has a number of a new and
superior style of Flows on hand, and viii be a
bic in few weeks to furnish any amount upon
short notice. We hope our Farmers viii give
him liberal patronage, and they win soon see
that the improved Implements which he will
furnish them, will repay them wen.
We feel that Mr. Poets enterprise will have
good effect upon the interests of Agriculture ia
this section of country. Now, let us get up an
Agricultural Society here, and we will soon see
every thing much more fOurishing. Railroads
do Farmers but little good comparatively unless
they improve their lands. If they can raise no
more than they consume, what good will iacili-

Hog Crop in the NORTH West.-Thc Cincin

Hoo crop lH LIe 1NOTtft- ~ COT nc SIuCILL-
natl Price Current, of the 18th says:
Provisions continue to tend downwards in all
the Eastern markets Owing to the prospects
of large hog crop, holders are endeavoring to
avoid the necessity of holding over. Sixty-nine
counties in Kentucky show an excess Of 1876
600 head. Owing to a change in the Laws OF
Ohio, Assessors returns are not made to the
Auditor of State until September, consequently
it will be late in the Autumn before the stats
tics for the State will be obtainable. We may
remark, however, that we believe the next hog
crop in the West, is being greatly over-estimated
Packers are now talking of So net for hogs next
fall-and this price will not induce farmers to
feed with high priced Corn. The hogs are I'M
questionably in the country, but the extent Of
the supply will depend very much upon prices.
Hog SIatistics.--We continue our returns OF
hog statistics as furnished by the accessors oil
the different counties. Including those given
below, we have returns from So counties, which
show an aggregate excess on the number Of
last year Of 1872, 900 head. There are thirteen
counties vet to hear from. The total increase
in the State will therefore be about 2l5,OOO
head.-LOU. jour

"Litle TennesSee."-We admit the article of
"Little Tennessee, NOT becaue it agrees with
our own views entirely, but because the writer is
O gentleman of experience, and therefore en-
titled to be heard upon subject Of SO much
Importance.
We have no idea that the subscription Of
Blount County will ever be made, for the simple
reason that the Road will never be built to
Knoxville The Rabun Gap Road viii seek
the nearest connection with the East Tennes.
see & Georgia Railroad and with the Tennes-
see River. You cannot get stock taken on
any other route than the shortest and most
practicable one, Men of means are generally
intelligent, and they are not going to hrOaO
array their money in building Road that is
certain to be superseded by more direct line.
The state of Tennessee will never agree to
throw awag five or six hundred thousand dollars
upon any such wild project. And when the
time for paying the stock arrives, the people of
Knoxville viii themselves repudiate the enter
prise. And why do we think 50? They wiz
see that the Road viii do them no good. In
order to compete with the Road that will most
assuredly be built from this place to Citico they
will have to take all freights on at Knoxville
free of charge, or permit them to come TO this
point for shipping. This will cut off all their
anticipated gains.
