Unfortunate Accident,

/ The Gallatin Examiner of yesterday
says that an unfortunate accident hap
pened on Monday afternoon to W. G,
Adams, young dentist of that place, by
which his right leg was broken in two
places between the knee and ankle. He
was in wagon with Mr.. Rufus N. Ire
land and another young man, driving two
mules, when Adams proposed to ride the
mules. He and the young man got upon
them, when the mule that Adams was upon
commenced plunging and rearing, and his
leg getting hitched in the traces and gear
ing was snapped in two places. He was
carried into the house of Mr.. Ireland near
by, and Drs. Tomkins and Sehell sent for,
who set his leg successfully. He is still
suffering, but will most likely recover with
the use of the limb.

Speaking of our valued fellow-citizen, the
Knoxville Press and Herald of Wednesday
says:
''Hon. John NJ Lea, OF Nashville, passed
through the city yesterday, en- route from
Washington, where he has been spending
some time in the interest of the people of
his native State. Judge Lea feels hopeful
in regard to Tennessee affairs, notwith-
standing tie efforts of Maynard, Stokes &
Co., to put us under military rule, and
thinks that nothing further will be done in
the attempt to return the State to political
bondage"

or for the last week, at night, has been
rather cool, frost being seen pretty gener-
ally; no permanent injury to the crops,
however, will result. The arrangements
for crop are fully up to the requirements
of the season. The acreage for cotton is
increased on last years cropto some extent,
with about the same acreage of corn. La

/, Fruit Prospects.

The Cleveland Banner says it was
thought at one time that the severe freeze
in March had killed the peaches in that sec
ton. 1t turns out, however, says that pa
per, that they we're only partially injured,
and if we have no more cold snaps in this
neck of woods, will DC blessed with plenty
of this delicious fruit.
The McMinnyille Men Era says: Con-
siderable apprehension has been felt with
reference to our peach crop-the opinion
being general that they were pretty well all
killed. We are glad to learn from our
farmer friends that such is not the case,
and the prospect now indicates good crop.
The Fayetteville Observer says: There
will be plenty of fruit in this county this
year, unless hereafter blasted The peach
was the only crop thought to be in danger
from the recent frosts, and there will be an
abundance.

Under the caption ''Plant Corn" the
ST. Louis Journal Of Commerce gives good
advice as follows;
''We advise our farmers thisyear to plant
larger area of corn than usual, and try
and increase the amount of your general
farm stock. Plant corn, plenty of corn
during this year. Plenty of corn means
fat hogs, fat steers, lots of milk, butter,
cheese, eggs, and fat poultry. It means
sleek horses, valuable mules, glorious
oxen, and no'end to home comforts and
thorough independence. Raise little
more wheat than you need, but don't
starVe your stock to raise wheat, where
you should raise corn and oats"

Good Suggestions.

A correspondent Of the Rltral CAROL
man, discoursing upon the situation. saws:
There is one idea which seems to have
taken possession of the Southern people.
and until that is eradicated there is but
little prospect of real prosperity. We
mean the devotion of all our energies to
the production of cotton. 1t will not do
to be dependent upon the West for our
corn, Hour and bacon, and upon the North
and East for everything we wear, from a
hat to pair of shoes, or use, from piano
to an axe-handle.'
All this talk about the value of the cot
ton crop, the restoration of the South.
glorious prosperity, and the like, is mere
twaddle. The rich are growing richer,
and the poor poorer. every day. The
money does not stay at home to build up
railroads, factories and internal improve
ments, bnt it goes North and West for sub
sistence, gew-gaws and GIN cracks. Nor
Is 1t used to pay off old debts, and thus
lengthen the honesty and Independence of
the citizen. 1t is spent recklessly, because
great deal of it is in the hands of a class
which never had money to spend before.
1t Is spent freely by others because it is
greenbacks, add they feel that there Is no
security in any investments they can make.
Does not any man of common sagacity see
what must be the end of borrowing money
at from twelve to twenty-five per cent to
| grow cotton with unreliable labor, and be
dependent upon our oppressors for nearly
everything we eat, wear or use.
We do not object to the planting of cot
ton as money crop. That is all right
plant but little, cultivate it well, and make
it pay. We believe the true policy is to
contract the area in cultivation. cultivate
more carefclly, improve the staple, and
compete with the world for the finest
quality rather than the greatest quantity.
Grow all the corn, wheat, oats and potatoes
required for your own consumption, con-
vert all swampy places into meadows, pro-
vide yourself with clover lots, barley lots,
rye lots, and all means of aiding the corn
crib. Try to raise few more hogs, cattle.
sheep, and drop in now and then horse
or mule colt. Encourage your neighbor,
who has knack of coopering, and have
| your tubs and buckets made at home.
Patronize your own tanneries and shoe
makers. Make your oyn axe-helves and
clotheS-pins. Encourage your home wag.
on and carriage-makers, plough manufac.
turers and blacksmiths- run to the
store for everything. Patronize your OWE
magazines and newspapers; pay for then
| and read them.
