THE OPENING OF THE FoORTH DAY.
On reaching the building We found The

every hearer.
The visitors had largely increased in
numbers though they co1ld not have done
in appreciation The growing business of
the Managers kept.them wide awake in the
admission of all the articles called for en-
try. If anything kept them from it it was
the

OF this we propose full list, from the
fact that they have not only RECALLED our

Capitol made Emusic for the spheres. :"

THE LIVE INTEREST.
It was gratifying to see the large num-
ber of persons in attendance yesterday.
naturally increased by the attractions of
the occasion. From the different portions
Of the State and from adjoining States We
saw numbers who took that interest in
such On exhibition as it deserves to in
spire. The Board OF Managers felt as all
TennesseeaDs feel, that an unusual SUCCESS
had been achieved. Kentuckians, Onions,
Georgians, and those of other States we're
there in large numbers.
STRAWBERRIES FROM EAST TENNESSEE.
Judge Temple, Chancellor at Knoxville,
contributes five varieties of strawberries,
viz: Barnes Mammoth, Charles Downing,
Agrculturist, Boydens No. 80, and Re-
mayne's Seeding. Each variety is excel
lent, and remarkable alike for size and
beauty, showing that they have been grown
by one who understands the nature of the
strawberry. With few more such intel
ligent and liberal amateurs as Judge Tenn
y. ~
uessee will soon be as famous for her fine
fruits as she once was for her corn, hogs
and mules, and thanks to the various hor-
ticlltural societies the number OF such
Amateurs is rapidly increasing.
WHAT THE FARMERS SAY.
Agriculture being the basis of commerce
and the primary element of prosperity, it
was clearly seen yesterday that the stsid
and solid men of the country appre ciated
full well the labor. saving machines on ex-
hibition. Their delight at seeing suoh ex-
hlbitions of skill and ingenuity was un-
bounded. A number were there, too,
from other States who make such investi-
cations a specially, and who had attended
many such exhibitions, who pronounced
It equal to anything of the kind
they had seen. In a manufacturing
line as regards articles tending to culti-
vate soil or to economically subserVe the
products of the same they saw. demon
strated the fact that there was no use in
going beyond cur ate for articles il this
line. We can safely say that from their
practical knowledge of such facts other
States, priding themselves upon the man
Utac.Gre OF such articles, will have to look
10 their laurels. We heard several say,
that all in all, save its dimensions, it was
coral, and IN classification s1pe-

TENNESSEE INVENTION.
4 valuable utensil to agriculturalists
and one which is deserving Of special men
tioD, is The sub-soil plow containing the
sub-soil, hillside and ordinary turning
plow. 1t has an adjustable wing and shear
and can be arranged from a right b nded
pIOw to left handed one IN q second. The
sub soiling apparatus descends six inches
below the moUld-board and forms the
point to the plow. The whole implement
combines strength, hghtness and durabi-
llty. Our highly esteemed citizens Col
J G. Miner and Gen. Frank Cheatham
have the honor Of being the inventors.
Coi. Miner improving and putting into
practical operation an idea suggested by
Gen. Cheatham. There is no one single
farming implement that attracts SO much
ct antion, and 10 ors on exhibition that
j destined TO prove more valuable auxili-
ary to the farmers Of the country.
We also saw an apparatus for fastening hsrH
row teeth in the frame so as to keep them
fixed to their places. The usual method is
10 have holes through the frame and drive
in The teeth but Mr.. Osborne, the invent
or, has conceived the idea of a slidirg
c.ss which msy be fastened to the frame,
su2 the tooth fastened to this case by
mems of an iron wedge Ehich cannot work
loose. We understand Mr.. Osborne hes
sp1lied for patent. A step in the right
direction is the establishment of
HUB, sPoKE AND HANDLE FACTORIES,
Ols in Humphries county having ar
6cIas of the first class on exhibition as
we'll as the one in our city. These firms
have but to advertise their wares to insure
an immense business. The timber of our
State for toughness, strength and duTabili-
ty, cannot be excelled and it is discredit
to our people TO send to other States to
bay what we caa produce SC cheaply our
selves.
INVENTIONS WORTHY OF NOTE.
Henry Z5liner, Of Maury county, Ten
nsssee, has on exhibition Combined Seed
SUWer, Harrow and Roller, by which one
mn can SOW the seed, harrow and roll it
IL. al in one operation. It is so managed
IL It several kinds of seed may be sown
at once, doing the work with uniformity
and regularity. Mr.. Zellner has also two
models Of a Press for cotton and hay, one
WI. h a feeder designed to operate in con-
necliol with cotton gin, taking the cot
ton Immediately from the gin and /
without any handling, making it
into the bale. II requires no ex- |
ira operator or power, the gin /
ner and the power that ruus the gin, at
tending also to the press. The other !
model is without the feeder, and is de- |
sigued for hay or cotton to be operated By |
horse power or by hand. These presses |
are built so that the leverage increases /
with the resistance. They have novel /
device by which the cotton, when p essed |
10 the bottom of the tube, is held in place, |
while the follower returns for a second .
tube full Mr.. Zellner has also on exhibi-
bition model of machine for breaking
and cleaning hemp or fex.
