MI, INC NeiI on ,he ITeea.

The Kingston East TenhcSseeaR, one of the
best of our local exchanges, of last week. has
the following, which is true in every respect,
and if the editors of every country paper would
act on the suggestion and pay more attention to
their local columns, instead of aping their con-
temporares of the large cities, they would be
astonished at the improvement in the tone and
circulation of their respective journals. No
matter how we'll an item of news may be told,
some one who heard Il would like TO read it in
print, and if interesting, those who never heard
it are cheated ofinformation which the home
paper should furnish. But, inasmuch as editors
are not ubiquitous, their friends should take the
trouble to inform them of facts occurring under
their observation albeit in crude form. As the
skilled artist from an unseemly block of marble
chisels the perfect statue, even so the writer,
with his magic pen, gives shape and tangibilty
to what would seem to the uninitiated con-
fused mass of facts. We endorse the whole ar
ticle, and hope his and our friends will act on
the suggestion embodied in the last sentence:
Bring along any items you can gather. We
| shall be pleased to hear from you often. No
matter If the items are not gotten up according
| to the rules of etymology, syntax and prosody,
! we will endeavor to put them in proper shape.
| We are well aware that the life of paper is its
| local columns, but if our friends from the differ
ent parts of the county would send us all items
of interest occurring in their respective neigh
| borhoods, we would be able to give the news OF
| the entire county. We trust our friends will
bear this in mind, and keep us posted in the To-
cal events of their neighborhoods.'

THE SPRAGUE MOWER
OF Interest TO The Farming Community.

MEssRs. EDIroRs. With considerable surprise
we have read card in yesterdays Press and
Herald purporting to be the result of a trial of
the "Sprague Mower with the Excelsior. We
wish to say there was no set trial, either
member Of oar .frm present, as stated and one
gentleman, whose name is attached to the arti-
Gle, assured us he did not sign il or give per-
mission for his name to be signed TO that card.
For the benefit of the farmers and all who arc
interested in agricultural improvements, we
will state the facts as reported by disinterest-
ed party who saw everything
At the request of farmer, who was DESTROYS
Mower out to Powelrs Station for him TO see its
working, and il seems that Messrs. McCorkle d
Co, learning of the Spraguc being there, sent
over their mower, not saying word to us, and
Mr.. McCorkle personally going himself to en-
gineer his trial and write his piece His ma
chine was handled by an experienced mower,
with full knowledge of its working, having
worked one before.
In the vain endeavor to cut through a small
clump OF thick clover, ms machine quivered,
houndercd and broke its knife and was given
up as lost, when the gentleman who handled
the Sprague repaired the damaged machine,
and with help was able to cut the little piece
of grass The same team was hitched to the
Sprague machine and handled by party that
had never seen il work before. 1t went to It's
work without difficulty, or labor to the team OF
machine, cut the grass as clean and even as
one could wish, and at siotc mace it cut the
thick clover without clogging in the least or
stopping, and worked perfectly satisfactorily to
| the party for whose benefit the Sprague was
worked Several large stones were thoicn in
| front of the Sprague, but they were passed over
without any trouble or damage whatever
| Then, with two men pulling on the tongue and {
| man weighing 30 rounds sitting in the seat
they worked the Sprague easily and done first
| class moving.
That the "tral' as it is called, resulted Sc
| favorably to the Sprague Mower is no surpris,
| to all who know its excellencies To give the
| farmers an opportunity to see the many merits
| of the Sprague Mower--the little 800 ntdchin,
| we now say 10 them that the Sprague Mowe
| will meet Messrs McCorkle & Co. machine il
a fair and impartial contest, before a competen

Fncts WORM Inye.tigating.

The time is near at hand when our farmers
will want frst-class reaper and mower The
great features desirable in such machine arc
lightness simplicity and strength. The Ex-
celsiori' seems TO combine these qualities, and
is one of the most popular machines known.
They are made by men who have been engaged
in their manufacture for many years, and every
piece in them is cured, tried and approved be-
fore used. They work easily, are strong and
durable and do their work rapidly, cleanly,
and on any kind of ground Wherever used
the Excelsior" gives satisfaction. Thousands
of them are made every year, and very many
have been sold in this section. McCorkle a.
Co. are the agents, and the machines can be
examined at their warehouse, at East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad depot.

River Accident.

From a reliable correspondent we learn the
following particulars of distressing accident
which took place between eighta and nine o clock
on the night of the 3lst of May. As j. G.
coming down the French Broad in boat, the
boat struck a rock about two or three miles
above cambridge, and was nearly filed with
water Nevertheless the men stayed aboard
until they had reached such 1eep water that
they could not wade, and were all compelled to
get planks and swim for their lives. John @.
Turnkey swan safely out although one Of his
ankles and a portion Of one foot had been
mashed to pieces when the boat first struck the
jured, but Steele Shadden is lost, as the last
heard of him he was hallowing 20 Lord" and
similar expressions. Almost all the citizens Of
cambridge have been dragging the river all
day, but up to this time (noon) have been I'M
successful The drowned man leaves large

A Knoxville Man Among the KukIux.

A gentleman who is connected with one of
our large business houses, has been down in
Alabama, in the interest of said house. At
Valley Head, in that State, he retired to his bed
one night last week, but was soon aroused from
his slumbers by an unusual humping ard
knocking at his door. He jumped out to an
swer the demand for admttance, but his noe
turnal friends had become impatient and bust
ed in" The interruption was caused by half
dozen gentlemen, armed TO the teeth and mask
in Kuklux garb. They inquired of him as to
where he hailed from, when he answered
from Knoxville" They replied that he WASH t
the man they were looking for, and took their
leave. They then went to an adjoining room
where they did find the man they were looking
for, and they gave their victim to understand
so. He was forced to accompany them. What
they did with him our informant knew not, but
the inference is that they either whipped him
or took his life 1t would be hard to convince
our friend that such an organization as a Ku-
klux Khan does not exist He don't admit that
he was scared, but says he did not feel alto
gether comfortable.
