Chance for Another Blount County Libel
Shit
MARyuILLE, March 81.

MARYpILLt1, March 81, 1872
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Some anonymous
scribbler has been laboring very h ard it
seems to circulate, through the columns of
the Press and Herald of the 18th instant,
~ false impression as to the conduct of some
sof our county officials. He says that COM
rmittee, appointed to investigate the finan-
cial condition of BIount county, has found
81. G. Edmondson, Radical y our present
tax collector, to be defaulter to the amount
.of about So, 900 for the year 1866. In an
swer to this charge we will state that for
.the year 1866 7. III. Clark, a Sim0n-pure
Democrat, was the tax collector of Blount
county, and that EdmoRdson was not
elected {" or appointed " until 1867, and as
for his conduct since that time, we here
submit statement from the hand of r.
n. Hood, one of the committee that made
the investigation. Here is what he says ::
MARYvILLE, Tenn, March 10, 1872.
1--WE have just settled with j. &. Ed
,monson, Revenue Collector of Blount
county, Tennessee, from the year 1867 up
to and including the year 1871, and we
find that the said j. G. Edmonson has
properly accounted for all moneys that
have come inio his hands, on account of
county revenue, tor the years 1S67-S-9-70-
Il inclusive and that he has oyerpaid the
Trustee $50, according to our settlement.
There may be some small errors, but they
will not, in our opinion, affect the general
result. This settlement does not include
the year 1866. II. n. HOOD,
a Zone of the COMMITTEES.
J Now as to the charges made against Eli
Num-, our County Trustee, bg this same
.scribbler, we are not able to speak at pres
.ent, as we have not had an opportunity to
rsee him or make any investigation in his
case ; but we are informed that the charges
are untrue. The statement being false in
part, is by a fair inference altogether unre-
diable. E NJ, !

PRUNING FRUIT TREEs.-A great
deal has been said about the best time
for pruning trees, and we are ready to
conclude that the Summer months are
the best, that the wounds will then heal
over the quickest, and that the least
injury is done to the tree. If the tree
raisers will make experiments, as all
ought to do, he will find in which
months wounds are healed over the
quickest.
There is good deal of truth in the
rule, however-to prune in Winter for
wood growth, and in Summer for fruit
but the wounds in WiHter do not
heal over so quickly, and water shoots
are very apt to be thrown out when
amputation has taken place.
The true theory of all pruning how
ever, is to guide the growth of limbs as
to have no severe pruning at any
time.
Start the head of the tree right In its
infancy, and if any branches are going
astray cut them off with your pocket
knife at any time. No larger instru-
ment should go into the orchard at any
time than a pruning knife; and no
longer one is needed, IL used in the
proper time.
The object of pruning is TO regulate
the growth of the tree, to throw the
sap into the proper channels, to form a
well balanced head with all the parts
open TO the sun, so that the fruit may
have size and color.

ALHAKEM the sag, whom all people
humble for his great wisdom and his
many virtues, sat in the market
place giving instruction. A youth
named Seyd, who had recently inherit
ed vast wealth, passed that way, and
shared with the old teacher the atten.
tion of the multitude.
"See !" cried Seyd, show my good for
tune has left me in day to claim the
public attention which Alhakem hath
been long years in gaining"
And he smiled proudly as he
spoke.
Alhakem had heard his words, and
motioned for him to draw near.
"My son." said the sag, let me speak
unto you fable. Once upon time a
gourd wound itself around lofty palm,
and in few weeks climed to its very
top.
"How old mayest thou be ?" asked
the gourd.
"a hundred years. answered the
palm.
IA hundred years !" cried the gourd
in derision. "Only look / have
grown as tall as thou art in few days
than thou countest years"
~ know that very WE'LL" the palm
made answer. 'Every summer of my
life gourd has climbed up around me,
as proud as thou art, and as short lived
as thou wilt be-"
seyd heard, and went away with his
head lowered.
