tural Society. - go

MESsRs. EDITORS: / am glad to see you
| stirring the question of organizing q Far
mers' Club and horticultural Society for
old Knox. You are starting out In the
right direction. The great object had in
view In the work of our Eastern Division
Fair is to reach the farmers, and all the
farmers of the country. We can't afford
sons in our city. We must expand and go
abroad, and thus strike class upon whom
we are to depend in developing our agri-
cultural resources. We must, therefore,
interest and bring into requisition the en-
ergies and practical experience of this
class, and, by SO doing, we may hope to
accomplish our purposes in this direction.
: The first of April, during the sitting of
the quarterly term Of the County Court,

more befitting an occasion. The represent
ative men from every district in the coun-
ty will be present-the men of intelligence
and the best farmers we have have no
doubt but that they will freely and cheer.
fully afford the opportunity of this effort
to form such an organization, and that
they will, also, join heartily in the move

there should be also an horticultural So

of the county, and so framing its constitu-
tion and bylaws as to bring it into har-
monious cooperation with our Eastern
Division Fair. Nothing short of this will
answer, for everything must lend to this
central attraction of East Tennessee. All
hearts and all hands must work to this end.
The work involved is too significant and
too broad to be tampered with. 1t must

of all opposition. But to prosecute it bold
ly and vigorously, there must be no fac
tions and no flying off at a tangent. Much
less can we afford to ignore our country
friends. We have no right to do it, and so
sure as we do do it, we viii crush our hopes
and break down our projects. Therefore
we proudly appeal to the farmers, and to
their wives, and to their sons and daugh-
ters to unite for the purpose of aiding in
the imperishable work of building up our
agricultural interests. ~ - 5eqk - ss~Ss

3 eMUTILATED CURRENCY FOR PosTAGx.-
Treaserur Spinner writes to Tennessee
postmaster that under the rules of the
Treasury Department postmasters are au-
thorized to receive mutilated currency for
its full value in payment for postage
stamps, when in case of United States
notes not more than one twentieth of the
note is missing, and in cases of fractional
currency, when not more than one tenth
is missing. When such notes and frae-
tional currency are mutilated beyond the
standard refurred to, no one is compelled
to receive them for any part of their value,
and the only place where such notes are to
DE redeemed is at the United States Treas
ury.

APPROPRIATE TExT.-Deon Stanley, in
preaching sermon in health Of suffering
Paris, selected the following text from the
prophecy of jeremiah:
How doth the city sit solitary, that was
full Of people? How is she become as a
widow! She that was great among the
nations, and princess among the pro-
vinces! Arise, cry out in the night: in
the beginning of the watches pour out
thine heart like water before the face of the
Lord. Lift up thine hands toward Him
for the life of thy young children that faint
for hunger in the top of every street. Re-
member, . Lord what is come upon us !;
consider, and behold our reproach.''

Body Found.

A short time ago, while plowing near the old
fertilization in East Knoxville, between Main
street and the river. the body of an infant was
discovered It was buried in box, near the
surface, and one of the horses stepping on the
box, the lid of which gave way, led to its being
found. The body was examined by several
persons, and was that of white infant about
four months old, and was thought not to have
been buried very long.
Being late in the day when the body was dis
covered, it was replaced, the parties who found
it intending to try and identify it the next day,
but on going to look for it in the morning, it
was gone, having doubtless been taken away
by some one who feared exposure if the affair
was investigated, and justice was cheated of her
due.

Cafe Scenes in Paris.

The capital is rapidly resuming its wont
ed appearance. A few days ago tn,
| Boulevards were as deserted as a Pompe
| liam street.-the Rue st. Honore as silen
| as aby-way in an English cathedral town
| The theatres were closed, many of the
shops shut, the whole aspect of the city es.
sentially forlorn. Now, writes London
Necs correspondent, you may stroll from
the Madeleine along the Boulevard des
Capucines, the Boulevard Italien, or that
noshadow of death has passed over the
place.
Some great alterations one cannot fail
to see The Grand Hotel is untenanted,
but even that is showing signs of return
ing life, and is being swept, garnished, and
repaired for future visitors. The observer
Of minutie might also perceive that no
wreaths of immotelles hang on the rail-
ings around the column of the Place Ven
dome. But the jewellers shops in the Rue
de la Paix are as enticing as ever. An in
finite variety of objects still tempts the fe-
male passer-by In the plate-glass windows
of the millinery stores. Pass through the
hospitable doors of the Cafe Durand, op-
posfte the Madeleine, and YOU may destroy
your digestion with a midday meal that
would suit the fastidious palate of an cpl
cure, paying for it price somewhat less
than that which you would have to give
for an inferior breakfast at a first-c1ass
London hotel.
The weather is somewhat too cold to per-
NIT of sitting out of doors; but if you will
take your dcnsi-losse Mt any famous cafe on
the Boulevards or in the Palais Royal,
your ears will be assailed by the accustom-
ed din of dominoes, and the only change
apparent will be, that most of the men are
clothed in uniform, and that the women's
dresses are less brilliant than of yore
Crowds of idlers stand admiring the sham
jewelry and cheap but tasteful ornaments
in the numerous bazars. In the Cafe Mad
rid-twice closed during the siege, by or
der of the Government, on account of the
revolutionary projects Matched within its
walls-you may take your four o'clock alb
sinthe, and read the newspapers in perfect
calm, though surrounded by writers of the
most republican journals and speakers in
the most republican clubs of republican
France. Take turn on the Boulevards,
you will find them SO crowded with
tfdlse,ers and idlers of both sexes, that it is
quite difficult matter to make ones way
through the throng. Like David of old,
the people have eaten bread, have taken
water and washed, and have made them
selves of cheerful countenance. Only
few days ago the men were unshaven, un-
shorn, dirty, and with dishevelled locks
and ferocious mien; while woman, with
her gentle influences, seemed to have dis
appeared entirely from the war-polluted
town. Now the men are washed, cleaned,
perfumed and curled and, young Paris"
as of old, shares his ices and his cafe with
the nmiable, If transitory, companion of
his choice. -

PEAS FOR PIas.-Few things would paw
a grain growing farmer better than to raise
peas for his pigs. Nomatter how s'buggy,'
the peas may be, the bugs or beetles re-
main in the peas until about the first of
November, and when the peas are fed out
pe1ore TINS time, the pigs will eat peas and

Prospects and Advantages. 81 s'
The people of Sewer county, and the sections
of Knox and Blount counties through which the
railroad is likely pass, are keeny alive to the
project of building it. during the war, Colonel
Thomas, who commanded the Indians in North
Carolina, partly constructed good wagon road
across the Smoky Mountains into Sewer coun-
ty. The citizens of the counties of Cherokee,
Macon, Haywood and jackson, (wealthy coun-
ties) North Carolina, propose to complcte this
road to the State line provided the counties in
terested on the Tennessee side will complete it.
1t is ascertained that the completion of this road
on the Tennessee side can be done for about
81 500. Those who viii think can have some
idea of the immense increase the completion of
this road in connection with the proposed rail-
road, will make in the Wholesale and retail busi-
ness of the city of Knoxville From $126, 900 to
$3.50 600 can be raised in few months, by sub
scription, to build this road in Sewer county
and along the route. eAAe
1t has been deemed advisable that prelimi-
nary survey of the route from this point to Sc
vierville should be made, and Capt. o. G. Van
derhoof, civil engineer, has kindly offered to
make this survey for about what it will cost. The
citizens Of Sewer county have raised 500 to as.
sist in making it, and the citizens of KEoxyille
are called on to subscribe to the enterprise.
Those favorable to it will please hand their
names and the amounts they are willing to pay
to Mr.. E. E. McCrosky. tits desirable to have
this work done at once and the report made out
in time to submit i, to the County Court of Se-
vier county on the first Monday in April.
