to be thrown into their next We Ie-

we seen so many energetic and thorough

success on no small scale. Their institu-

AGRTCULTURAL ITEMS,

Agriculture is attracting more atten-
ton from scholars and thinkers and
scienific-men than ever before.
The range of the thermometer has been

flfty-nine mules were sold in Atlanta, Ga,
during the year 1859 12,249 since first
of January, 1870, making nearly 40
600 mules in little over two years.
Out of 175, 900, COO acres of land in
Texas, only 100000 are improved.
The remainder lies waste.
The value of wooden manufactures has
increased in the United States from 1866

The underclothing and hosiery consum.

The best investment farmer can make
is to expend one-twentieth of his income
yearly in good books. 1t often yields q
thousand per cent in a single season. A
house without books is like the heavens

and cowsrdice usurp the place of light
intelligence aud courage. In this age, q
library is not a luxury; it is a necessity.

SUICIDE IN MEMPHIS.
A Sad story of Disappointment and
Endless AnnOyances.

The telegraph furnished US with the
death by suicide in Memphis, of W. 81. Fl.
Hunt. The Appeal of Tuesday morn
ing gives the following details of the sad
affair:
W. II. II. Hunt for many years before
the war q queensware dealer on Main
street in this city, patient, honest, pru-
dent business man, has been involved in
infinite trouble, and subjected to annoy
ances that seemed interminable by the
bogus Congressman from this district,
Jerusalem Smith. Mr.. Hunts property
was sold for taxes under Federal laws,
while armies held the city, and Smith,
becoming the purchaser, acquired posses
sion. Hunt came back when peace was
restored, and sought to regain access to
his home. He was forced to sue. The
tedious, costly process of litigation, drew
its slow length along, with its endless
folds of costs and contluuauces. Hunt at
last triumphed in local courts; but Smith,
In possession, had no rent charges to pay,
and Hunt toiled for bread and for money
to fee lawyers and pay costs constantly
accommodating. Smith appealed to the
Supreme Court of the State, and when
Hunt, after a year or two, gained the
case, or when this result was anticipated,
Smith caused the suit-Hunt now being q
citizen of Mississippi, 10 be transferred to
the Federal Court. Here again money was
exacted, and Hunt, despairing of justice,
and weary of continued disappointments
and delays, in fit of dependency, put 8
period to his existence. Such is version
of the story commonly bruited about. 1t
will hardly prove pleasing to the ''Honor-
able" member from this district, who, if
| the facts stated be true, is murderer as
well as robber, as he surely is living
| embodiment of fraud to the extent that
he assumes to represent this district in
Washington. For several days past Mr..
Hunt had betrayed unusual depression of
| spirits. Such were his strange alterations
of mind that his family have watched
him closely. He evinced degree of mel
| ancholy that was painful to those who
| knew and were associated with him He
attended church aud took the sacrament
| Sunday, and afterward such was his sin
gular conduct that his mental soundness
| was doubted. Yesterday morning his
sanity was more seriously questioned,
and precautions were adopted to prevent
possible self destruction. He gained pos
session of pistol, in the absence of those
who watched HIM, AMI placing the muzzle
| in his mouth, sent the bullet through his
brain. Death ensled instantly. Coroner
Moffatt held an inquest, and the verdict
was that "W. II. II. Hunt came to his
death from the effect of pistol shot,
fired By his own hand while in state of
temporary insanity" Mr.. Hunts wife
is one of the most highly esteemed wo-
men of the city. Sh9 is the daughter of
| Col. Hawkins, an eminent and aged law
yer of Mississippi. These two com
msnd the sympathies of multitude OF
people.

CONGRATULATIONS.

To the Editors of the Union and American
Allow me to congratulate you and your
host of readers on the rapid progress you
are making to public favor and spproba-
ton. Your agricultural department, I'M
der its able editor, with his zeal in con-
centrating to its columns the best talent
in the State, has already become indis-
pensable to the farmer, and Judging from
the favor and great popularity of your
paper in our county, the day in not far
distant when you will have the name of
every intelligent farmer in the State on
your subscription list.
can assure my brother farmers that
in your agricultural editor we have no
'fancy farmer on paper" but one who,
under the the most trying difficulties to
farmers, has gone steadily on adding to
his possessions, improving bis lands, and
his large farm is as rich and productive
as the day on which it was opened.
The result speaks for itself. In Sc
curing him you have supplied the great
desideratuna long needed-one who has
learned from practical experience, whose
school of experience has been in our
midst. r--~r. .-.. F. E.

/ Peace Plenty and prosperity. ~
To the Editors Of the Union and American: s1r
SpRrNeFIEID, Tenn, Feb. 28, 187i9--
| In my last find en- erroneous statement
that: 'sThe best land is found south of
Springfield, etc" I wrote, or meant to
write, north, insteal of south. This is
altogether rich joke on Greenbriar, and
whoever was the perpetrator-your
printer or myself trust warm sym
patty for the much-abused Southland
viii excuse him. Nd = Il
To avoid any misunderstanding, will
state that the land in all the northern part
of the county, together with the western,
and the greater portion of the SOUTH
western parts, is scarcely inferior to any
in the State, while only a strip south of
Springfield, bordering on the Davidson
county line, is unproductive, and this, by
its adaptation to fruit growing, especially
grape, is likely at no very distant day to
rival other sections of the county in
point of value.
The average product of an acre of
ground in this county, properly cultiva-
ted, is: of com, about 80 bushels; wheat,
Is; hay (clover, timothy, red top and
Hungarian), 2 tons; oats, 80 bushels; and
of tobacco about 1000 pounds. These
are the chief products. Rye and barley
are produced, but to no great extent
Large quantities of broom corn were
raised the last year, but although the yield
was abundant, the price was not
sufficiently remunerstive to induce farm
ers to engage in its cultivation another
year. Stock raising is coming in for its
share of attention. One may meet with
as fine stock (horses and mules, cattle,
sheep and hogs) in this county as can be
seen anywhere. A recent importation of
hogs from England by the Messrs. Bell is
lust now the newest feature in that line.
The whisky business is one of consid-
cradle magnitude in this county. There
are four finishing houses, that is, that
turn out finished whisky from the grain,
In operation, with an aggregate capacity
of 920 gallons per day; seventeen rectify
ing establishments, and twenty-eight
wholesale houses. From these state
ments one may safely conclude that sold

BUGS ON TOBACCO BEDS.

GAINESVILLE, TENN, Feb. 81, 1871
In your weekly of the 23d noticed an
article on ssbugs on tobacco beds-how
to get rid of bugs and fleas. You say,
by stalking hen with young chickens in
the center of the bed, which is pretty
good idea But, let us see if can, ad-
vance better one, or at least IS good q
one. | propose that when the farmer
finds the fly and the flea Fostering his
plants that he Immediately take meal or
meal bran and SOW or scatter it over his
beds thick 30 as to attract the birds. The
birds will not bruise the plants like the
hen and chickens. ] would advise the
farmer to bait the birds TO his beds before
the fly and flea make tn ir appearance. I
have found another thing good, not
only as preventative for the fly and the
flea but good fertilizer. Take barrel
of water to the bed; have one
head out put in trash tobacco or
tobacco stalks, so as you get a strong
dose, sprinkle your beds every evening
about sun down. The fly and flea don't
like to suck the strong tobacco juice like
they do the tender plant. SUBSCRIBER.
