A New Enterprisc.

We are pleased to see that the Messrs.
CLEAGE, Cleage's Mills, are adding new fea-
ture to their Notwithstanding up Plan
ing Machines, Turning Lathes, Circular Saws.
ETC., with view to the manufacture of all
kinds of Wood Work-just what has been
needed here for some time. We commend the
enterprise Of these gentlemen. Every man
who makes in advance toward the manufac.
ture Of articles for which the country is eter-
na!ly scattering money abroad, is public
benefactor and should be so regarded COM
munities made up of preachers, doctors, law.
yers, merchants, and hucksters, though these
are highly honorable and useful of course
never reach great degre of prosperity, while
there is no limit to the growth and expansion
OF others where the spirit of manufacturing
and the mechanic arts predominate.

Tennessee Bonds.

The Legislature seems disposed to take some
steps in regard to the reported fraudulent is.
sue of Tennessee State Bonds. Without de.
signing to cast even shade of suspicion in
any direction, we venture to say that if u full
free and fearless investigation is had, develop.
ments will be made which will set the people
who pay the taxes to thinking. When the
frauds and populations that have been prac.
ticed in Tennessee under the ringing cry Of
"loyalty," shall be uncovered to the public
view, a picture of wrong, fraud, corruption
and plumber will be presented such as no peo
pie ever endured before.

The Corn Crop.

The Department of Agriculture at WASH
ington issued report OH the condition of the
crops in July. The most remarkable fact in
connection with the corn crop presented this
year is the great increase of its growers in the
South. The difference in the number of acres
between the present and preceding year being
more than two millions and a half A slight
decrease is apparent in the Eastern seaboard
States, resulting from in part the character Of
the recent cold and backward spring which
sadly interfered with the planting.
A careful estimate Of average shows de-
crease of 200 acres in Maine, New Hampshire
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
New Jersey, New York and Maryland, and an
increase of 80, l29, 1875 acres in other States.-
The figures show an increase Of over thirty.
six millions in all the United States, an ad.
vance of 0per cent. The per centagc of Lou
isiana reaches 60; that of Arkansas Al; Kan.
sas 30; Mississippi %; Nebraska %; Missouri
%; Texas 10; Minnesota II: Iowa 49, Illinoi,
and Ohio s, and Indiana 4.
The drouth South has retarded somewhat the
growth of corn, but its condition in that sec
tion is generally good. In the West the aver
age is high, except Ohio and Indiana, wher,
the weather has been somewhat unpropitious
and destructive storms occurred in the Eas
in June last. The growth was small but tn,
hot weather in July has brought large por
ton of the crops in splendid condition.
