ATALE OF THE EARLY DAYS OF
GJACKSON,S PURCHASE

A good story is told of John w. Crock
EFT and Jim Gibson, both OF them able
LAWYERS, and in full practice in the early
DAYS of Jackson's Purchase. They bothre-
sided at Fulton, in Hickman county. On
one occasion, they were employed on
opposite sides in an ejectment case, be-
for. magistrate. Thee court was read
ing the law TO the court, and when he got
through, Gibson asked him for his book,
saving that the statute just read was new
to him. Crockett refused to give it to
Etln, on the ground that il was his own
private property, and if Mr.. Gibson
wanted the benefit of law books, there
were some for sale. The court ruled that
the book was private property, and
that Gibson had no right to see 1t, except
with Crockett's consent. Gibson was
puzzled, but being man of resources,
he fell upon plan which completely up
set Crockett's calculations. He stepped
back and found under a desk, an old copy
of Noah Webster's spelling book, and in
addressing the court, he read from the
spelIer: "Be it enacted by the General
| Assembly of the Commonwealth of Ken
| lucky, that ali laws heretofore passed
there fitting Crockett's law be, and the
same are hereby repealed" Crockett
sprang to his feet with, "Let me see that
book "No you don't" says Gibson
"this book, sir, is private property, and
I am not in the habit Of packing law
books around for the benefit of others. >
It is needless to say Crockett lost his case,
Gibson having the last say on him.

immigration, at first, rathSr gradual as to
a certain class of settlers in Tennessee.
Yet, as you are aware, Messrs. Editors, the
owners of wild lands in our State wou ID
receive large per cent on their invest
ments by judicious donations of alternate
tracts, and the sale of others at moderate
rates of from 50 to S. per acre on reason
able time, thus comforting benefit upon
the immigrant and adding vastly to the
resources oil the State. But, as you are
aware also, thousands of acres in cultiTa-
ton originally of peculiar fertility in Mid :,
die Tennessee especially. iced the skilled
labor of the old weld to be obtained at =
low rate in money, or by share in crops,
increasing the productiyeness of these
lands from % to 100 per cent, adding
each year larger area of reclaimed soil
to the genera revenue. In this estimate
we include, of course, our superior climate
and variety of productions, which fact
is already turning the attention of immi-
grants to our section of the South, and
even those lately settled in the Northwest
are seeking to change their location, in
many instances, for region less rigorous
and affording more of the comforts of
life and consuming less of the fruits of
toll.
But am extending remarks on these
topics to an undue length, and hasten TO
close by adding that l have studied them
since the war with peculiar interest, main
ly in their moral aspects; and a recent
sojOurn in the Northwest, of several
months, has afforded me many practical
views touching these subjects so init
mately connected with the general pros
perity of our beautiful State and the en-
tire South. e. STRopE.
