MRS, DRAKE, widow lady of Mullen
burg County, KY, has in her possession
an apple which has been in existence
since the beginning of the Revolutionary
war, The Greenville Gazette gives this
account of IL: "The soldier, Mr.. Drake,
received the apple from his betrothed
Just as he departed for thearmy of Wash
ington; kept 1t during the whole war, re-
turned after the surrender of Yorktown,
and married the fair donor. The apple is
sacredly preserved in the family. 1t is
dry and shriveled, nothing remaining
but the woody fibre. The heirloom is
highly prized by every member of the
family"

On Saturday night about II clock, a gentle
man CHANGED to pass the Grocery establishment
of Messrs. Lee s. Howarter, on the Southeast
corner Market Square, when he heard q pane
of glass break, and ascertained that some one
was in said establishment and was trying to get
out He knew something was wrong and called
Il policeman who stationed himself within few
feet from whence the noise proceeded ready to
bag his game" but the would-be burglar
made his exit through small "hole in the
wall, and escaped while the policeman afore-
said was vainly endeavoring to shoot him with
halfcocked pistol In his haste he left a
couple of very fine hams such as Lee & How
arter keep, and a sack of Java coffee. Judging
from the articles selected, the thief is man of
good taste. He, however, left pint bottle filed
with corn juice, and not very good at that,
which shows that his taste for fluids is not so
good as it is for more substantial articles Cap
tain Sonner informs us that if he will call he
can have the whisky without being subjected to
the expense of paying for this notice.
Would it not be well for policemen to cock
their postols or rely entirely upon their maces

Have YOur Wheat Ground ut Home.

As the time of disposing the fine crop of
wheat now harvesting through East Tennessee
is approaching it would not be amiss to repeat
the excellent advice given to East Tennessee
farmers by Col. Crozier, at the late Farmers
Convention to have their wheat ground at
home, selling the -four and retaining the bran.
The Col. showed plainly the.direct pecCniary
advantage Of this course, but there is another
very important indirect inducement to follow
his advice. Bran contains comparatively lage
per centage Of Phosphoric Acid, which is an all
important element in Agriculture, as positively
no crop can be grown without. We frequently
notice a remarkable difference in the fertility of
two fields, apparently the same quality of land.
On Analysing soil from eacb we will invariably
find the largest discrepancy in their respective
per .centage of Phosphoric Acid The fact is,
wOrnout land as we call it, has been deprived
of the Phosphoric Acid originally in the soil by
injudicious cropping. This explains why bone
dust and other commercial fertilizers, contain
ing Phosphoric Acid, have such remarkable
effect in restoring fertility to worn land. But
these are expressive commodities, especially to
East Tennessee farmers, without direct water
transportation. Therefore, it is very important
to us to retain all Phosphoric Acid on our
farms we possibly can, and there is no reader
means to do this than to keep our bran and feed
it to our stock, and manure our lands with sta
bic manure.

To the Voters Of h1aOr County:
FELLow-CITIZENS: By an Act of the Gen
eral Assembly of the State of Tennessee, ap-
proved December, 8, 1871, it devolves upon you,
at the election, on the first Thursday of August
next, to elect an Attorney General for the Dis
trict of Knox, whose duty it will be to represent
The interests and prosecute in behalf of the
people Of the State in the Criminal Court Of
said District.
In obedience to the often expressed desire of
many personal and political friends, and in ac-
cordance with my own inclination and wishes in
the premises, L announced myself some weeks
since, a candidate for that important position.
According to what regard the duty of every
man who aspires to public confidence and stew
ardship, take this occasion, and adopt this me-
dunn of communicating with my fellow -cti-
zcns whose suffrage ! seek, While politics can
have but little connection with judicial con-
have nothing whatever to do in the
administration of the law-and such shall
be the guiding-p principle of my official action,
If elected; yet. that no man may act and vote
misunderstanding it seems eminently proper
to say that am now, and always have been, a
Republican in politics, and although quite lib
eral IN my views, l am not liberal enough to
vote the Democratic ticket in disguise-sugar-
coated with Greeley and Brown.
1t is proper, also, to state that my Republi-
canlsm Is OF no recent origin. Born and raised
and having lived in Knox county the greater
part Of my life, l was nevertheless taught,
from my earliest infancy, to look upon the
nstit alton of slavery as fragrant violation of
1.-The Rights of Man." and am proud to say
that was an original friend of the colored race.
This mere fact, however, gives me no precedence
over those who have come to see the interests of
men in the same light in which | was taught to
regard them from my youth up, and which
views have grown with my growth and strength
ened with my strength. Several very clever
gentlemen are already announced as my COM
Petitors, and others are perhaps in allegiance,
against whom L shall have nothing but the kind
est words to utter i stand not on hereditary
nights nor do 1 seek an election through
the influences of ancestral prestige, but sub
NIT my claims to the people, at the ballot box
believing that they have the good sense to &C
cept or reject men for office, because of .ohGt
they are and not for lrhGt they might hare been
Hoping to see and interchange opinions with as
many Of you as possible between now and the
election,
am yours truly,
