Mr.. G.. W. Hickey.

II will be remembered by our readers,
as announced in the Herald and Tribune
at the time, that this gentleman, who
lives at johnson City, was recently ar
rested, with several others in that locality
and at Carter's Depot. charged with ut
tsring and dealing in counterfeit money.
Mr. Hickey, after being arrested % t.
ken to Knoxville. and was recognized be-
fore IN United Ststas Commissioner. to
appear before the next term Of the Fed
ersl Court. He made his appearance Al
tho term for which he was bound, and
his case was placed before the Grand Jury.
After oil the testimony was elected from
the witnesses summoned BY the United
States, tho Jury 1t once returned the in
dictment endorsed, Mot . true BILL"
There was not . scintila Of proof adduc.
ed pointing to Mr.. Hlckey's guilt OF the
monstrous allegations of crime charged
against him. Even the witnesses Of the
prosecution unreservedly testified to his
integrity, honesty and spotless reputation.
There never was a more complete and tri>
umphant vindication of an assailed char
acter and an arraigned prisoner before the
inexorable ordeal of q Judicial tribunal.
This acquital is even an exaltation above
the popular and universal opinion of Mr..
Hickey's integrity, honor and probity,
and instead Of the grave charge made
against him and his arrest casting q shade
Of suspicion and disgrace upon his name,
he has even gained q higher rank in the
estimation of all just, honorable and right
minded men.
In connection with the above, it is en-
inently due to D. NJ. Taylor, a Deputy
Sheriff, to state he was arrested at the
same time, charged with the same offence.
Mr.. Taylor was also taken to Knoxville
and tried and discharged before an United

Fl. G. Smith, the presiding CHANCELLOR
Up to this time but little has bsen done,
as many cases are net ready for trial. and
many have to be continued on account Of
the unavoidable absence Of ~eounssls, who

Court. On Monday the important case
Of j. A. Mabry VS.. George B. Nancy, as
President Of the Tennessee and Pacific
Railroad. involving several thousand dol.
lars, was heard in Chambers, but as yet
there has been no decision from the Court.
Chancellor Smith is presiding with the
uniform kindness to the members Of the
bar, and dignity which his high position
requires that have made him deservsdly
one Of the most popular Judges who have
ever presided over our Courts. He is es-
teemed for his impartial and clear-sightsd
administration of the law bis opinions
are respected, and it stands high to his
credit as an able and learned Jurist, that
his decisions are rarely reversed by the

Badly Needed.
We would call the attention Of our
"city fathers to the fact that a street lamp
is badly needed at the bridges crossing the
crock at the corner Of the Jail lot. The
pavement and street bridges divide. and
in q dark night, a person. not know
ing the condition of the place is liable to
receive a dangerous fall which might cost
the corporation tenfold more than the
lamp post, If the light is not furnished,
we hope the 'deadfall" will receive some
attention in the way Of connecting the
bridges.

McSsrS. Editors Passing semi>annu.
ally through East Tennessee during Il 9
last six years, | have been impressed with
the improvement made within that time,
net only in the towns on the Railroad,
but in the country also. Bristol, John>
son City, Jonesboro', Greeneville, Norris
town, Messy Greek and Strawberry Plains
present q different aspect now from then.
New Churches, School Houses. Stores and
residences meet the view in each and all,
and no n thing impresses a stranger
more favorably than neat, comfortable
Churches, and school facilities to meet
the wants Of tho rising generation
Many new, neat and comfortable farm
houses and in some instances elegant
mansions meet the view Of the traveller as
the cars whirl him along your %vallies. but
this improvement is not only visible in
the number, class and architecture OF
your buildings, but, also in the cultiva-
ton Of your farms and farm machinery
used. During the summer | noticed the
scythe and the cradle had given place in
many instances to the mower and reaper,
and these is also great improvement in
the plows now used. Some farmers have
actually learned that deep blowing pays
better than shallow, that besides produ-
cling better, rolling lands plowed deep is
less liable to wash than when plowed
shallow. l also notice the drill has been
much more used this season iu seeding
wheat than heretofore. Where the soil is
as liable to "spew up and the wheat to
freeze out as in Fast Tennessee, the drill
is invaluable.
With all the improvements hitherto
made, East Tennessee farmers have yet to
learn the cultivation of corn and the rais>
ing of hogs is the curse of this section.
Year after year the lands become less
productive, and is eventually worn out.

crease in vslue each year. Besides being
moro profitable, it is less laborious tosaise
hay than corn. Then will not some farm
er, who wishes his son to occupy the old
homestead instead Of enigrating to the
West in search Of rich land try the sx-
pertinent, and keep bis boy at home.
