ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF DtreetoFs, "cs
Pursuant TO notice given the stockholders of
the East Tennessee Agricultural Society met
ON Monday morning at ten OF clock. ..
Col. John Williams was called to the chair
and G. McCorkle, ESQ, chosen secretary. a7
The question of reducing the number of di-
rectors was introduced. COL G. NJ. McGhee
moved that the number be reduced from nine
to three Mr., McCorkle thought five would
be few enough. Mr.. futile thought it best to
have the present number, with members COM
posed of influential citizens in TIE different
counties. N
Two of the old board Of directors. q gentle
man explained, bad not resigned, being absent
from tho city at the time Of the last meeting,
and as the term for which they were elected bad
had not expired IL was moved that three addi-
tional directors be elected, making five in all.
Mr.. David Richards made some remarks on
the importance of choosing good men for the
position of directors There were some who
wished excitement and would have horse-racing
and other sports as the leading feature in the
fair. He hoped the material interests of Knox
VILE and East Tennessee would be the para
mount obiect-the development of the agricul-
tural and manufacturing interests of this section,
should be chiefly considered.
Hon. John S. Van Glider desired the election
to be held in a manner that would not conflict
with the constitution and bylaws of the Society,
whereupon Col c. NJ. McGhee offered the fol-
lowing:
ResoLrcd, That the section of the Bylaws
prescribing nine as the number of directors be
changed, and the number reduced to five.
The resolution was unanimously adopted, and
the Society then went into the election of Off
GERS. Messrs. Van Glider and futile were APP
pointed tellers. The ballot was taken, and the
following gentlemen having received the largest
number of votes cast were declared duly elect
ed Col. John Williams, Capt. James Boyd and
G. McCorkle, Esq
Col. Williams made some statements regard
ing the working of the Society, its Indebtedness
future prospects, &c. He regarded the stock
as the best investment one could make, and de-
monstrated his views by citing the success of
the fair last fall and the spring exposition.
Mr., Dickinson moved that books be opened
for the subscription OF stock, to be limited to
$1,000. Carried.
On motion, the meeting then adjourned.

From BlOunt County.

Since my last letter quite "a change has
come over the spirit of my dreams" The
anXieties of our farmers in reference to the
wheat crop have subsidized in the realities
of the issue. ''The agony is over,n and
some of the complainers have been agree
ably disappointed In securing larger yield
than they anticipated. BY the way, it does
seem that farmers, as class are the most
fretful, responding people in the world
with regard to their business. If editors
and some other folks, but especially editors,
were 10 speak Of their prospects as farmers
generally do, they would soon ruin them
selves and their business. Would it not
be better for them TO exercise little more
faith in the promises of God2 u VI
The corn crop throughout the county,
with very few exceptions, is good. / think
the yield will be heavier than last year.
Some farms, of course, will not make much
of anything; and it will be said that there
was too much rain, or not enough, or it did
not come at the right time. Generally
speaking, these failures result from bad
farming. It is byno means strange sight
To see large pile of manure lying around
barn, useless and in the way, while there
are barren spots within an acres length of
the place that might he made equal to any
part of the field, ii this manure was prop
erly distributed over the ground. think
that our farmers generally are at fault in
this particular.
The weather has been intensely hot for
several days, with occasional showers.
Blackberries in abundance, and fruit cans
in large demand. Peach trees are break
ing down with the weight Of the fruit
which has not yet began to "swell."

Judge mcAdoo.. Address 4, me Alumni.

Judge McAdOo's Address 10 the Alumni.
There were q goodly number present last
night at Hoxsies Hall to hear the address of
Hon. VIM G. MeAdoo, to the Alumni of the
East Tennessee University. i-
The address was, in the words of Dr. Humes,
Learned, instructive and suggestive" and was
richly enjoyed by all present -.''
The aim of the effort was TO suggest the ne
cessity of some amendment or change in the
geographical nomenclature of our country
The speaker illustrated in many apt and often
witty ways the confusion and Inconvenience
growing out of the present system Thus. said
the speaker, there are some 2j4 places, States,
&c, named Washington, near two hundred
called Jefferson, many Jacksons Monroes &c
inc inconvenience TO the postal service were
shown, and the unfortunate changes from really
appropriate and euphonions names 10 common
place and confused ones, interestingly illustrate
ed. Judge McAdoo suggested that these incon-
Vehiehces were likely TO increasc rs the popula-
ton and number of cities and towns multiplied
as they surely and rapidly were doing, unless
some reform was effected whereby either like
troubles would be guarded against ms to the flu
tuTT99! or changes effected as to the present.
His remedy was that the power be conferred
upon some branch of the general government
TO adopt and enforce system of changes
which he preferred should be, wherever prac-
ticable, by changing present names for aborigi-
nal and appropriate ones How happy such
changes would be in most cases were illustrated
as TO many States, places, rivers and mountains
in way that showed great pathological re-
search and familiarity with the history of the
aborigines and early colonists AS conventions
for efecting organic changes seemed ia shon-
able, the speaker suggested that convention
assemble in Washington next winter to consider
the advisaolllty for such changes and the plan
for efecting them.
The effort was one entirely and emnently
creditable to Judge McAdoo, of pleasure and
profit TO all present, and suggestive of reforms
practicable.
