Imnortant Gathering.

We have some encouraging information con-
corning the meeting of Jefferson county farm
ers on the 29th, at Chestnut Grove, some three
miles from Dandriige aud some eight miles
from Messy Creek. 1t was the anniversary of
the Farmers Club at that place. Three years
ago it was organized, and has proved a great
success The occasion was improved by stir
ring addresses. G. w, Charlton, of our city,
made the opening speech, occupying. oyer an
hour. He was followed by Col Whitaker. of
New Market, and brought to a close by Mr.
Williams, of Messy Creek.
The occasion was an interesting one, Mr..
Collie officated and did his work well.
We would like for some of our friends in that
locality to give US brief sketch OF the history
and progress of their club.

Another swIndIer.

About two weeks ago man named Smith,
who had n contract under Mr.. j. D. Thorn
burgh, of New Market, for getting out slaves
for European shipment, made his appearance in
the 10th Civil District of this county and en-
ployed several men, half dozen or so, in get
ting out slaves on the land of James johnson,
IL. L. Cliff and Mr.. Rutherford. When Satur-
day came he paid them up at the rate of one
dollar per day, that is all who would receive
their money, some refusing TO do so, preferring
to be paid all ''in lump"
Last week Smith increased his force TO about
fifty men and had several teams also at work for
him, hauling lumber. The men at work were
happy in having plenty of work to do and the
pay ready when they wanted it, as they fondly
imagined. All went smoothly, however until
Friday, when Smith had one of his hired men
TO get his mule shod and went to Strawberry
Plains, where the slaves were being hauled for
shipment and drawing what money from Mr..
Thornburgh he could, left for parts unknown.
The slaves made and delivered when he left
amounted TO only $l34, and his expenses were
at least four times as much but as he did not
meet his liabilities all he got was clear gain.
Just before leaving the cutting ground, on
Friday, Smith gave instructions to u force oil
men 10 continue chopping the remainder of the
day, which they did and covered the ground
with fallen trees. He had gone so far as to sell
the butts and laps of the trees after cutting of
all that was useful for slaves and after his flight
was known the person who had bought them
told Mr.. johnson So when that gentleman or
whose land Smith had been operating, declined
to fill the contract. Smith played bold hanc
| for small stake and won but if any of his EN-
ployes got hold of him he won't fare very we'll

Kin Eat Crow

EDS. CuRoNILE Since the recent common
use of the phrase illustrating the disagreeable
diet of our Democratic brethren l do not re-
member to have seen the old story from which
presume the saying originated. Perhaps even
my imperfect recollection after a lapse of some
years may be of interest.
Old Tompkins was farmer in mountain
region, who during the summer turned his
house into hotel for the accommodation of city
people seeking refuge, from the heat and dust
On one occasion the old fellows boarders
found fault with the quality of the fare offered.
You city folks are all mighty particular,
s saS S' 'n you s eat tor ' demanded nam
one of the grumblers
"Of course kin, replied Tomnpkins, list as
lief eat crow as most anything. Tain't bad eat
ing. nohow','
The boarders conspired, q crow was shot,
brought in, plucked and prepared for thetable
While it was being cooked one of the con;
spirators obtained access TO the kitchen, and
contrived to basic the bird with copious dress
ing of strong Scotch snuff.
The game was served up and all hands as
sembled:to see the old man make good his boast
Knife and fork in hand, he seated himself, bold
ly carved a morsel and plunged it between his
capacious Jaws A small tear gathered in each
eye and o subdued litter ran round the expect
ant crowd, but the old man was game.
Grow, of course kin eat crow said Tomp-
kins, and with gulp the dainty morsel disap-
peared Another bit was raised on his fork a
smaller one this time, and passed into his
mouth. The litter became more audible.
Crow" said the old man with grasp, sar-
tin, kin eat crow" and half choking another
morsel down.
The laugh grew unmistakable. Croic" ex-
claimed the old man, rising in disgust and
thrustng his plate away A" l hin eat crow, but
m blamed if banker drter IL y
The anecdote seems especially appropriate
Just at at present.
Our Democratic brethren must have found
the Greeley crow distastcful morse even when
served up with the sauce of a hoped-for re-
turn of the rebel element to power
But, seasoned with the Scotch snuff of the
Knox county and the North Carolina elections,
the Republican gains in Tennessee and through
out the Union, and the general bursting up OF
the gaseous Greeley bubble, no wonder they
don't banker after it."

Obnoxious.

A class of individuals who do not subscribe
for daily papers. and some who do not even take
their local paper, almost invariably assemble at
the postetice or depot early enough every morn
ing TO get the Knoxville papers, read and scat
ter them about so the subscribers seldom ever
get to see them. Such conduct should be stop
ped. When person subscribes for paper he
expects TO get it, and no one has any right to APP
propriate it. If such conduct is persisted in we
shall designate the guilty parties though these
columns. We have our opinion of man who
is always borrowing papers and never subscrbes
for ny.-S1eetwdter Enterprise

GUS man, however poor can afford TO take n pa
per, and seyenty-fve cents n month wouldn't be

The Jonesboro Flag gives the following in re-

the vicinity of Shelton Laurel, Washington
county The informant of the Flag says that
knives and other deadly weapons were freely
used, in which man named Amos Rhea was
badly cut in the side, arm and thigh by
man named Gentry 1t is thought,
that Rhea can not survive as one of the main
arteries was cut, and the wounded man is very
much exhausted from loss of blood. The row
was brought about by card playing.

We confidently look forward to a larger
number of articles and animals on exhibition at
the fair next October than ever before. Last
year there was some complaint about the high
freights but now they have been greatly re-

is not much greater than singly. Or the eX-
pense could be still further lessoned by several
persons clubbing together in one car and thus
securing special car load rates.
