FROM JONESBORO',
The Drouth and Politics.

JoNESBORo, Aug. Z, loIZ
Jonesboro', as you know, is one OF the eldest
towns in East Tennessee. There are many sub
stantial citizens living here though they are not
building up their town as fast as they should.
They need few more Grishams. Capt Girls
men of the times and has heart as big as all
out doors 1t was my first acquaintance with
him, though knew him we'll through his jour-
nal He is man after my own heart, free, can
did, out-spoken and always to the point. He
carries nothing hidden about him. There is no
deceit in his composition and no disposition to
undermine you. If he has any fault more
prominent than others, it is his total lack of
what is popularity known as policy. This he
despises, scorns, and tramples under foot When
he has an end to achieve he marches boldly up
to it and meets it like man. He fights every
thing and every body face to face Hence, you
know where to place him. Hon. r. r. Butler
spoke here yesterday. did not hear his speech,
though saw and conversed with him. For
quarter of century l have known him: L
knew him when he was tow-headed and shoe
less boy, working at the tailor's trade in the
town of Newbern, Va. He had neither mon
ely nor friends to prop him up, yet
It is true he has been bitterly assailed, whether
Justly or unjusty it lis not for me to say. He has,
in my estimation at least, many redeeming
traits to commend him to the respect and conf
dence Of the public. He is an adroit politician,
of course, and manages the political ropes to his
own advantage. At present he is manpuvering
for Congress and his opposers will have to be
shrewd and active to out-general him.
You have no idea how terrible the drouth is
in these parts. The corn is about ruined. All
the other crops are good. MORE ANON.

Gas Light.

We believe it has been the fortune of most
municipal governments to have trouble i'll re-
gard to lighting the streets with gas. 1t was
true Of Memphis, where for several years two
rival companies waged determined war. Our
own corporation and the Knoxville Gas Light
Company are dissatisfied, and now the question
is springing in Chattanooga, which has for
some time been dependent on moonlight after
the sun set fer street illumination. This doesn't
give general satisfaction, however, and the Times
comes to the rescue, as follows showing how the
city can be lighted without expense:
1t is now agreed, we believe, that the cOun-
Gil shall appropriate to each Alderman a salary
of $500 per year, and to the Mayor 81, 600, max
making $4,000 annually for the city council
No citizan of Chattanooga who has ever attend
ed session of the Board will dispute the fact
that this councils services are cheap at Sc, 900
per annum. Indeed it is propbable that petitions
will be circulated begging them to double the
amount and consider themselves elected for life.
''We believe there are now about 60 lamp posts,
which at SIS each per month would cost in one
year 81, 800 Now if the Council would agree
to deduct this amount from their own hard
earned salaries they would attain a reputation
for economy and enterprise seldom given men.
If they do not feel that they can afford to do
this we presume the people will cheerfuly pay
the taxes that may be assessed to pay for light
ing the streets"

Produce and Commission Merchant,

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Aug. g, 1872.
An active demand prevails for all good
| Wheat. Farmers are disposed to divide their
crops, selling only what is necessary to meet
pressing pecuniary claims, and we regret to no.
tice that some are becoming careless about the
condition of their Wheat This is all wrong,
and if persisted in will drive mill orders out of
the market. The owners of large mills in the
South, who have, by grinding the best quality
| of Wheat made reputation for their -four,
will submit to a reasonable advance in prices,
but will not buy inferior, trashy Wheat; and
consignors to Eastern markets shipping on quo
tations of $1.75 to $1.85 find their Wheat grad
ed down to S1.20a1 80, because it is foul with
cookie, cheat smut, &C.
| We have no change to note in other grains
Oats are coming forward freely at former quo
tatons.
The old stock of Corn is we'll nigh exhausted.
There is some inquiry for Rye. n few hun
dred bushels would find ready sale for planting
purposes in Georgia and Alabama.
Hay is wanted in limited quantities.
A fair demand exists for prime Butter.
Eggs find no buyers except to meet small
local demand.
Bacon and Lard are in good demand for local
use, at fair prices.

to get her the groom knew not, until a novel
idea flashed through his distracted brain, which
was as follows: There happened to be trial at
the office of Justice of the Peace who holds
forth on Asylum street. 1t appears that the
lady was an important witness in the case. She
was therefore, summoned. During the pro-
