from Col. KilIebreyy, j. O Griffith
and f. Ii. Snipes-The Popular
Enthusiasm.
Specisl to the Union and American
JACKSON, TENN August 5.-The Far
mers' Convention here to-day was COM
plete success. j. B. Killebrew spoke to
the audience for more than an hour in
his happiest manner, and with decided
and lasting effect. He dwelt upon the
fact that the growing of cotton and the
impoverishment OF the soil are synony-
nous terms; that no people ever pros
pered who grew but one crop. He was
severe upon those farmers who are
destroying the fertility OF the
soil, and recommended more intelli-
sence in the operations of the farm,
and greater diversiication in the crops.
He spoke of the nineteenth century as an
era of progress in everything, but espe-
ciaDy in the improvement of the method
of farming. He thought the farmers
ought to be better educated, in order that
they might exert an influence in the COM
munity proportional to their numbers.
He recommended organization and CO
operation in the development of the in
dustrial interest of the land, and his
speech is spoken of as being one of the
most effective ever delivered in this city,
and great good has been accomplished,
arOusing proper spirit among the
farmers.
Col. Griffith was called on the conclu-
sion of Mr.. KIllebrew's spcech, and re
called the crowd for half an hour in his
own inimitable style, interpreted with
anecdotes rich, rare and rscy. The
crowd was greatly pleased with his
speech. A splendid basket dinner was
served up after this.
F. B. Snipes, the member elect TO the
next Legislature was called on after
dinner, and advised organization amongst
the farmers and better education of
their children, and "a cultivation of
social feelings. His remarks were well
received and produced happy effect.
Sixteen hundred dollars were raised for
the Agricultural and Mechanical Associa-
ton, m addition to the six thousand dol
lars already subscribed, and all the city is
delighted with the days work. A vote
of thanks and three cheers were given to
j. B. Kllebrew and Col. Griffith, for their
services on the occasion. J. t. S.
