FARMERS CONSULT YOUR
frs INTERESTS.

In the past, our farmers have pursued
a policy in disposiDg of their surplus,
which has resulted in a great loss to them.
We mean selling and shipping their wheat
out of the country. BY doing this they
lose the offal which should 60 into fat
and muscle upon their stock, and our
Touring mills, of which we boast thirty
five in this county. that do as good work
as any in the Union, suffer for want of
patronage. n When the wheat is sold. the
entire offal is lost to the farmer and he
can replace it only by money or his other
grain. The most serious objection we
urge, is tho injury and injustice done our
millers. They have expended large sums
in the erection of buildings and purchase
of requisite machinery, reasonably relying
upon the patronage of the producer for a
return of the outlay and a fair profit be-
side. Millers are men of enterprise. who
assist the general community in its efforts
for individual advancement and have a
kind of mortgage upon the preference of
the public under the policy of supporting
home industries. 1t is a. striking fact that
our farmers should know and know to
practice. that there is not a wealthy wheat
producing region in the United States that
ships the grain to any extent, except those
localities where good Touring mills are
not conveniently accessible. Home mills
are always preferred as a matter of policy
and mutual benefit bstweenIthe producer
and the manufacturer. A5revenae, is left
in the community, by no mea despiea-
bic In quantity. Patronage encourages
home mills, and as their manufacture
must stand the test of comparison with
other brands in a closely discriminating
market, all their machinery and appli-
ances must be such as to produce the
finest article. Coming up fully to the STAN
dard, the reputation of the seller and his
miller is at once established. and trade
flows on without a rufie. BY no other
means can a country make character fol
wheat raising than by manufacturing -four
and throwing it into market under its OWE
brand. Farmers, reflect upon this mat
ter with calculation and we are sure yor
will find our suggestions timely, wise and
beneficial 10 all concerned. This year, sell

A correspondent at R~utledge speaks
thus of the minerals of Granger county
; There is no doubt but theirs are minerals
such as coal, iron and perhaps. salt in the
bed of Poor Valley. which runs parallel
to Cllnch Mountain in the southern part Of
Granger county and up into Virginia In
the vicinity of Lea's Springs coal is found
near the surface, which will ignite readily
when placed in the fire. Years ago iron
was obtained at the foot of what is now
known as "Rhett's View" and hauled On
wagons to Strawberry Plains, where there
was aforge and it was there manufactured,
bud increased commercial facilities have
opened up other mines and this has fallen
into dis-use.

WHAT WILL THE LEGISLA-
TURE DO!

The last Legislature enacted an iniqui-
ty. known as the Drummer Tax Law"
The consequence was that a large number
of this prescribed profession remained in
the cities, and a majority of the few who
came into the State did not take out Ii
cense and confined their mission strictly
to collections. Last year, the "Drum-
mers" did not leave a cent less than ff-
teen hundred dollars in this community,
whilst this season, the amount is a mere
pittance. We take it, that every county
III the State can make a like decreased ex-
hibit. Thus, whilst the revenue is only
slightly increased by this unjust, unequal
and discriminating law, the circulating
melium has been contracted in proper
ton to the absence of the "Drummers."
1t will be seen, aside from the injustice,
inequality and prescription of the law.
that is a hurtful impolicy. We were urged
to expect great things, in the way of re-
form and progressive policy from a Legis-
lature controlled by the sagacity and
craftsmanship of the Coopers, Peytons and
E~theridges. but they gave us nothing. but
destructive ~absurdities.
The incoming Legislature must retrieve
the errors, disgraces and malicious folly of
its predecessors, or the State will continue
to grow and flourish in the odium and in
famous character entailed upon her. The
expunging of this disreputable legislation
is an inviting point to in%augurate a refor-
nation and the building up of a new name,
and we urge ourtlaw-makers, about to be
seated, to begin the work Immediately on
converting.

This is precisely the self-suficient cant of

Mormons are not "poor." They are too
mischievous to be " despised." They are

Nesr. friends in East tennessee

A correspondent writing from Hawkins
county, gives us the particulars of two
iendish attempts at outrage upon white
ladies by negroes, in one of which the as
sailant was but too successful, and his
victim is since reported to be dead. The
cases as gwen by our correspondent. ar as
follows:
About two weeks since a negro COM
mitted an outrage upon a married woman,
who was in delicate health at the time.
The assault occurred in Greene county, a
few miles above Bulls Gap. The poor
woman was so terribly abused that abor-
ton resulted, and on Monday news was
received that she had died. The negro
was arrested and lodged in the Jail at
Greeneville, where he is now awaiting
trial. -
On Friday last. a negro, about nineteen
years old, known as "Tom," assailed a
young white lady. about eighteen years of
age, in the road, about one miles from
Bulls Gap, in Hamblen county. The
poor girl fought the fend as best she could
with stones. and thus managed to keep
him off, while she ran, screaming, towards
her home. Fortunately, the girls mother
heard her screams and went to her relief,
arriving Just in time to prevent the negro
from effecting his purpose. The iend was
afterwards arrested, and is now in Jail at
Mo~rristown. Hamblen county, where he
awaits the punishment his crime demands.

This body adjourned last Saturday after
a laborious session of three days The
delegation, composed of ministers and lay
men. was large and respectable. The free
hearted citizens of our town opened their
doors and inequalities to the strangers,

Saturday evening, DIR. Phillips. who
has been in the missionary work in Africa
for a number of years, delighted a large
audience at the Baptist Church with a full

lecturer was assured by the successes with
which the missionary has been blessed in
that portion of heathendom. that the few
rays that gid its darkness are a sure
prophecy of the introduction of the Cos
pei in its glory and power.
Sabbath morning, there was a meeting
of all our Sabbath Schools at the same
Church, which was addressed by Rev. DIR.
Dickinson Of Richmond. Va, and Rev.

marks were happy, appropriate and well
received by the little folks.
On the same day, VIC heard DIR. Mont

enchanting presentation of Bible truth.

numbers in attendance, at this place upon
a religious occasion, except the Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, year
before last.
