FAREWELL

As each old friend, with whom I dwell
And much loved scenes, I bid farewell,
Those feelings strange, all who can tell,
That in my bosom lie7
Those with whom I'm daily doing,
Pleasant scenes I'm hourly viewing,
Hill and vale SO calm and woeiue,
l all must bid goodbye
Friend and acquaintance e'er We part
Accept the feelings of my heart,
Ny lore to NIL before start,
From spreading scenes and wide;
OFT we've crossed those hills Of pleasure,
Sweetly spending hours of leisure,
Pleasant prospects without measure,
Smiling on every side.
III
And rs / from those scenes must 20,
Should behind Inc leave one foe,
forgiveness freely now shall flow,
Fen from my heart and mind,
And if one heart have been grieying,
| will hope that I'm receiving
Pardon, now that ! am leaving,
Friend and foe behind.
w
Before from old scenes shall HE,
To brothers of the Lodge must I,
In love and friendship say goodbye.
Presenting hand and heart.
Where seeds of discord ne'er were sown.
There many pleasant hour has flown
In works OF mystery, only known
10 brothers Of the art.
V
How oft, when twilight's rays we're lent,
We've to the Lodge our Footsteps bent,
And many pleasant evening spent,
In joy with one another, .. .
Pleasantly the hours spending,
Cords OF malice quickly rending, .... .
Hearts in pleasant workings blending,
AS each assists q brother.
Ny fond, my Christian friend adieu,
Ever my love in Christ to you,
Oh let's remember each anew,
When bowed in humble prayer.
Shall party spirit ever smother,
Our feelings for Christian brother,
Nay at the Throne we'll bless each other,
. When e'er VIC bow US there.
VII
Our Ministers, I'd say to thee,
When at the Throne 0 think of me-
And friends Of Sabbath Schools would we
Leave our best love to you.
With ncighboi, friend, forgetting none,
And old Acquaintance, every one,
And scenes of profit, joy and fun,
bid you all adieu!

JosEsDoRo'-Irs ADvASTAoEs.-Now that
our soldiers are discharged, and have return
ed to their homes and our citizens generally,
have resumed decentralization twill not
be amiss to say something of the advantages
our town possesses, rs a market for the farm.
ers OF this and the surrounding cornties-
Our merchants have on hand, and are receiv-
ing good supply Of everything, needed in
amy community; and are anxious to exchange
their goods for the produce of the farmer
Their Feathers, Bccswax, Butter, Jeans &C.,
are in good demand. The citizens being de.
pending upon the farmer for everything in
the line OF provision; it is not uncommon for
two or three at the same time to hail person 3
from the country, with, {" What have you got
TO SELL regardless Of price, ready to pay
"Grecnbacks," " store pay" or any kind of
barter that will suit the farmer, even we
will take anything that will help our wife and
children to live" and in exchange, will give
you years subscription to the alag" and
we will pledge ourselves that by SO doing,
you will DC benefited thirty fold, perhaps
sixty fold yea, even an hundred fold. To
mechanics, from abroad, we would say, that
more healthy location, more quiet, peace
full, and orderly community, cannot be found
in East Tennessee. where you cannot only
make living, but lay up something for
rainy day, than our town of Jonesboro'. At
another time, We intend to speak Of the re-
sources of our county generally, and the nd
rantnses we possess for the manufacturer
and capitalist, ss we wish to make II more eS-
tended reconnaissance Of the industrial in.
tcrcsts Of this portion Of our State.
The ops.-N0twithstanding the extreme
dry weather for the past month there will be
more than average corn crop made in this
county the present season. We have convers-
ed with an intelligent farmer from the Nol-
chucky, who says the crop on the river, never
was better than this year; one farmer was
offering his entire crop of FIVE hundred bush
els for City cents per bushe This looks
like getting back to the old status Of things
again. Now il the farmers can procure seed
wheat, in sufficient quantity to SOW their
usual crop we will live once more.
