II. s. District Court,

All are aware Of the fact that the Uni
ted States District and other Courts are
now in session at Knoxville. A number
of our citizens have been indicted, and
true bills found against them, in the Dis
trict Court for witnessing the signatures
of persons claiming pensions, ETC., from
the Government. It'll a great annoyance
to our citizens, and we fear that such pro-
ceedings against inoffensive good citizens,
will not result in any good to the Govern
ment or those who are bringing these
suits up. 1t is an imposition on the rights
of a free people. Yet they submit to the
powers that be, with a hope that a day Of
final recOnning will soon come, when
they will be given their rights as a free
people. But, say some, let the law take
its course, and offenders be brought to
just punishment! So say we. But we
can not see how a person can be commit.

In our opinion it is a m~onoy-making

County COurt-Farmer's Club.

Monroe County Court, &c. Montgomc-
ry, Esq, in the chair, was in session on
Monday. But little important business
was transacted. Among other matters
was the selection of jury for the next
term Of the Circuit Cont. Col. John
Ramsey and Capt. j. F. Owen we're Sc
lected as jurors from tho Sweetwa;er Dis
trict.
At the adjournment Of court for dinner
q number of citizens assembled in the
court house for the purpose of organizing
a county Farmers Club. Col. johnson,
explained, in a very forcible manner, the
object of the meeting as also the object
and the benefits the farmer would derive
from the proposed organization. His re-
marks commanded the attention of every
one present, and all we're highly pleased
with his earnest effort 0 arouse the people
to a sense of their duty as farmers and
citizens. At the close of his remarks Col.
John Ramsey arose, and in a few brief
and pointed remarks approved of what
Col. Johnson had said and urged the farm
ers to take hold of the matter aud use ev-
cry e~xertion to improve their lands, stock,
&c.
After the speakers we're through, the
proposition to organize a Farmers Club,
was taken up and effected by the election
of the following officers:
i Kimbrough, Esq, President.
NJ F johnson, Esq, ce-President.
j G Montgomery, Esq, Secretary.
The organization is bound to be of last
ing good to our farming community, and
it is hoped that all who feel an interest in
the Agricultural welfare ofthe county will
sustain this organization.
There will be a meeting Of the Club
on the first Monday o next month, when
all who desire to become members vii
have an opportunity of enrolling theil
names. W. will say more on this sub
ject in the future.
