day, 10th, and quite a large num-
Der Of the people gathered, some
to see a sltoao, as was reported in
some parts Of the country, some
i. to hear Col. Tillman speak upon
the dignity of labor, some to see
the horse show, and a great many.
and perhaps the largest portion of
the crowd, came to see that grand
representative of the brave Of
Tennessee, the heroic leader of the
old guard, Gen. B. Frank Cheat
ham; but to. our great disappoint-
ment he was not here. What a
hearty welcome he would have
received from that remnant of the
old division If he had come. As
appointed, Col. Tillman addressed
the assembled bone and sinew of
our country upon the subject cf
the dignity of labor, and the
Colonel handled his subject with
his usual. ability, He demonstra-
Il d that all civilization depended
upon labor, at-least he advanced
that idea and.elucidated it by log
ical deductions; in short. he was.
elninently practical to the OCCASION.
An essay was read by DR.. Noblett,
his suhject being the H0g. The.
doctor had evidently given the
history of The hog a deep aud care
fulestddy.1 But we confess that
some of our notions in regard to
the animal received violent
shock at the Dr's. hards. We.
had rather low estimate of the
Responsibility md high.toned char
aeter of hog before hearing the
essay. We had thought that one
of the original characteristics of
the hog wassllis filthy habits, but
the ductoryclaimedfo for him, that in
bis original ante diluvianl lite his
habitswere as clearly and orderly
as any other ANIMAL and that his
subsequent fall from correct hab-
it's to his modern degeneracy was
owing to the contemptuous treat
menthe received at the hands OF
the Jewish race and followers of
Mohammed. 8 The doctor also
gave bis value as an article of food;
also, his commercial Importance as
a source of revenue; also, his dis
eases and Treatment to some ex-
tent, and other ideas in regard to
the manner of breeding and rails
ing, which were valuable and in
structive. suppose the Club
transacted the usual routine of
business Your correspondent did
not hear the proceedings entire,
therefore will not attempt an ex-
tended report. The Club will be
of immense value to the county
the meeting of farmers from all
parts Of the county, to exchange
ideas in regard to farming interests
will be bound to do good for the
country. In the afternoon there
was considerably display of |
stock. noticed those two excel,
lent saddle horses of Capt. Boone,
and the country knows that his
stables have always been famous
for that kind of stock. We also
saw that famed saddle horse

Bright's Bedford Forrest, the gay

inch the horse Forresters bay, a

Taylor's Palo Alto, a fine noble
looking animal; Dusenberry's
Guadaloupe, who looked as 1.-the
and trim with an eXpectant look
as if he was to be run a four mile
dash; Whitaker's two Bulls-so
well known is Columbus, that IT
is needless to speak, the younger
hardly developed; bids fair to be
as fine an animal as can be found I
in the country. All that was
wanting to make the whole day a
success in every particu-
lar was the absence of Capt. Boone's
fine Jack Capt. Carter, whose ped
igree goes so far back that ancient
historians and pedigreeists fail to
him.
Wheat is being harvested in
this part of the country, a great
deal has been cut, and farmers are
very . much discouraged. They
knew that the crop would be
short, but they had no idea that |.
it was so near a failure until they /
began to reap it. Corn is looking
splendid and growing the last
week fine.
Our little town is growing rap
idly, there have been several new
erected within the last
twelve months, and there is being
built at this time splendid
church edifice. Our school pros
