Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1870-11-24

The B0naer says, ga citizen of f. Ten
nessae. who owns a large landed property,
recently sent to another State for a good
farmer to take charge of his farm. He
was anxious to get a good man and willing
to pay literally. y man was found.
highly recommended and apparently emin-
emily suitable. But lie naturally made
inquiries as to his proposed new home,
and one of the first things he asked was
whether there were free schools. On learn
ing that there we're none in operation, he
declined coming. saying lie was not willing
to live at any place where he could not
educate his children.
SO will it be in the future, if our present
condition continues. The best class of i'm
migrants, those who would make the most
valuable citizens and add most to the
wealth and prosperity of our country, are
not willing to eome where their children
must grow up in Ignorance" -.a
Who is responsible for all this? VAST
not the late Democratic Legislature that
repealed the excellent school law that was
in active operation in oar State? We are
ready to acknowledge that the law might
have been modified and improved some,
but to throw the whole thing over board
was perfectly ridiculous, We hope our
friends Of the Hsotacr seeing the great
necessity of such law will go to work with
their friends who meet again on the 9th,
of next month, urge and demand such
Legislation on the subject as viii bring US
GOOD immigration.

WE often see in the columns of the
press long and labored efforts byssome in:
ferested parties to establish the claims up
on the patronage of the public of some
institution or establishment and calling
particular attention to their many advan-
tages over their competitors, but the in
stitutions that deserve patronage are those
that stand upon their merits alone and
need no such holding up before the public
to display their superior qualities. One
such institution and one of which the South
may well be proud an institution that was
born in tie dark and gloomy days that
overshadowed the country at the colse of
the war and has pressed on surmounting
obstacles that seemed almost insurmount-
able, and has through all this achieved a
success. aye, we may say a victory beyond
parallel in the history of. our country.
That institution is the Piedmont and Ar
lington Life Insurance Company eefeNir-
ginia, that stands in the front rank of Life
Insurance and towers head and shoulders
above many of its competitors who are
much older, and in point of stability has
no superior. This company so ably repre-
scented in East Tennessee by Messrs. j: b.
and j. G. Edwards has the confidence of
our people and we point with some degree
of pride to the evidence of the stability
of this company displayed by the figures
in their double column advertisement in
another place in our paper. Eo-l basi--d,

WHAT Female Education SEsegssE,

"ss
Now what ought all young ladies to
learn? First, to speak and write English
correctly. and to read it aloud and luently
Next to do plain needlework. 1t is a great
mistake to think that wealth can super
sedc the necessity for this. In the first
place this is the most feminine of occupa-
tons: next, it affords even the stupidest
person an opportunity of doing one thing
we'll without being attracted by the dis
play that usually attends excellence and
lastly, it is a most valuable preparation for
useful intercourse with the poor. Then
must come the rudiments of history, geog-
raphv and cipherine. and as much French
as the natural ability of the student rem
ders possible. Nothing more is necessary
except dancing-all else should depend
upon natural gifts and personal tastes.
Scarcely n woman can ever be so
learned or clever that it becomes a mat
ter of Indifference whether she is also good
looking. vet she may easily acquire Il pro
~iciency which will be a source of genuine
satisfaction to herself and her frienes. 1t
must, however. be conceded that it is not
possible to range all under the head of
stupid of clever, and that some common
ground of general education is wanting,
which shall test, awaken and develope
their power as they grow into young
women.
Incomparably the best iHstrumant for
meeting this want is to be found in the
study of standard English literature
This will elevate, excite and steady them.
Accomplishments are quite a secondary
matter. If men do not get tired of the
songs they soon get tired of the singer if
she can do nothing but sing. What Is re-
ally wanted III a woman is that she should
be a permanently pleasant companion.

Thanksgiving.

To-day thanksgiving and prayers will
90 up, all over the country, for PEACE
and PLENTY. No more do we hear the
roaring cannon, the shrill report of the
rnuskctry, the stampeeding of cavalry, or
the beating of drum, but peace and good
will seems to prevail all over our wide ex-
tended country. And with this happiness
q kind Providence has furnished US with
every thing needful for the sustainance of
life. The crops of different kinds were
never better in the United States. We
have had but few cpidemics, and why not
rejoice and give praise to a kind Prov
idencc!

Onr Youth.

How sad to see so many of the youth of
our town and county growing up in idle
ness and w~ickedness. We lave been shock
ed recently to see so many boys of only
slx, seven and eight years of age, loafing
"a the streets and gathering around the
llqnor shops at night, swearing most pro-
fanely. Such CONDUCT Is not Only degrad-
ing to themselves, but they stamp the
crime upon their parents, who certainly
y the responsible ones. But still more
sd, we have seen some of their parents
ztnnding on the corners or loaing around,
and seemingly to enjoy this rude conduct
OF their children. Where there is every
opportunity for improvement as there is in
TINS place, and men will not accept it for
thar children, but suffer them to loiter
away the best part of their lives, they may
weep N vain when they see their children
n 'a!er years, filling up the jails and pen
itentiaries.

The roof of Mr.. H. C. Lynch's Store
room was discovered to be on fire one day
last week, but by the timely efforts of
some of IL citizens it was extinguished
before much damage was done.
Also, on Sunday night, about , o'clock,
che property belonging to the Kern estate,
was discovered to be on fire, but was
checked by those living in the vicinity
There is. perhaps. no town in the State
where the citizens rally sooner, and work
harder when there is an alarm. and by
their aid many fires have.becn %quenched
which without their perseverance, would
have destroyed thousands of dollars worth
of property. But the safer and better
plan is for every body to insure. We
have agents here representing several good
companies, and those who own property,
should secure themselves from heavy loss
in case of fire. at once.

ded. Several warm and pathetic address
es we're delivered by the pastors of the

THE FALL. RIVER TROUBLE The
crowd around the Durfee mill the other
evening was larger than at any time be-
fore but the operatives went out unmo-
Tested, save by boots and groans. The
mob was repressed by the presence, under
arms, of four companies of the State mill
tia, one hundred special constables and
sixteen State constables, besides the regu-
lar police force of the city. The rioting
on Wednesday was due to the fact that
quite number of the spinners, whose
families Iwere in a suffering condition
from long idleness, concluded to return to
work at the old prices. This so exasper-
ated the strikers that they gathered in
large numbers on Wednesday afternoon,
before the close of mill hours, determined
to inflict violence upon the seceders.
The police, who were called out to defend
the operatives, fought bravely against the
overwhelming numbers, and several of
them were badly wounded. They sue
ceeded, however, in getting the men I'M
der their protection into the station house
without injury, as far as could be ascer-
tanned. The bells of the city were then
rung, and the fire department summoned
to the scene. A stream from the fire en-
gines was Immediately directed upon the
crowd, which had the effect to dispense
them. Threats of violence were made
last night, but the presence of the mill
tary prevented it.
