Under date of 18th our correspondent,
"SevieF," writes as follows: On last Tues
day two men named respectively, Robert
McGill and John McBryant, of Wears
Cove, had a falling out, and they under
took to settle it by testing their manhood,
so at it they went and McBryant proving
too stout for McGill, threw him on the
groundIand went to poundingi him with
his fist. McGill's little son who was stand
ing close by, seeing that his father was
about to get fiogging, ran up and stabbed
McBryant, the blade of his knife entering
his backbone, broke about one-half of an
inch off, which remained there until re-
moved by Drs. Walker and Trotter.
The President of the Fair, DR.. ]. NJ.
Hammer, is in fine spirits about the pros
poets of the fair, that is to come off in Sc
vierville the last week Of this month. AL
though many rumors have been atloat that
it would be a failure, he says that it is
all without foundation, and he is looking
for a rousing time.
Mr.. r. S. Bassett has a fine school in
Sevierville, and he has employ ed Miss
Laura Bryan for an assistant. She Is also
teaching music lessons.
People are making great preparations for
sowing large wheat crops.

Beaver Ridge Items.

l see items in the Chronicle from differ
ent parts of Beaver Creek and Knox coun-
ty, but for a good while / have noticed
none from these parts. There has been no
cholera here yet. The disease in the shape
of an epidemic, prevailing in Hines Val
ley, noticed by your correspondent this
week, viz: matrimOny, has not made its
toms of it, that / am aware of. The health
here is good.
The farmers are busy preparing the
ground for sowing wheat, of which large
crop will be put in according to appearance
One enterprsing farmer MIR. tDetwiler),
who immigrated here from the North some
years since, intends to sow sixty acres of
wheat this fall, part of the ground being
nearly ready. Others, also, intend to put
in large crops if nothing prevents. The
weather is dry and rain is much needed.
Through theinfiuence of an enterprising
farmer, who knows his business, several
wheat drills have been and are about to be
ordered from your city, from the house OF
Hough 81 Co., which speaks well for the
farming interests of this region, land the
business tact of Messrs. Hough & Co. in
advertising in paper so generally read by
farmers as the CHRoNICLE.)
The schools Of this the 19th) district,
learn, are in flourishing condition, and
well they may be, under the management
OF such gentlemanly directors as Messrs.
Smith, Detwiler and Harper, who know
their business. The County Superintend-
ent has been here visiting the schools
He certainly is the right man in the right
place. If all the County superintendent
fill their places as we'll as he does, the
school system throughout the State cannot
be otherwise than success.

There is no time when father or a

you would deadly snake. They have

Items From New Market.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: The National
Camp Meeting, is enlisting the attention
of our people, and many who were in at
tendance year ago, express a desire to
visit "Inskip Station" once more.
AS to the Division Fair 1 can see very
little interest, very little preparation be-
ing made for it. The want of interest on
the part of our people in this "great insti-
tuition" is rather singular. 1t is a great
institution for the farmer, the mechanic,
indeed, for all classes of the community.
Fairs il properly conducted are conducive
Of inealculable benefit TO a country. The
exhibition Of the products Of the soil, the
loom, the anvil and in fact every depart
ment Of industry has a telling effect on
the minds Of the people-all departments
and branches should be we'll and fully rep
resented on such occasions.
Too many of our farmers are going out
OF East Tennessee to purchase stock TO
feed too much money is being spent
abroad that should be circulated at home.
This money thus sent out should be kept
here. We are "hewers Of wood and draw

lockwood Items.

We understand there will be no Public
Schools opened in the 18th and 18th (the
Rockwood) Districts this year, the direc-
tors having decided to use all the available
funds in constructing school houses.
There are, however, number of subscrip-
ton schools now in successful operation in
these districts.
There are abeut 10000 tons of iron ore
now on the yard at the lockwood Fur
naces. The consumption, we believe, with
both furnaces in blast, is one hundred tons
per day. This gives the Company start
of one hundred and twenty days in their
supply of ore. We presume the coal and
coke exhibit, if figured out, would be equal
ly as satisfactory.
Capt. ]. Il. Harris has built him a new
Office. lockwood Furnace No. 2. made
her first cast Sept. H. at IL A. NJ, turning

Autumn Flowing.

In all heavy clay soils and heavy clay
loans, autumn blowing is of great advan-
tage. The winter frost is a mechanical If
we will but put them in proper condition
to be acted upon. Potash is one of the
elements of such soils, and with them one
of the chief values for the small grain.
The mineral is found under two conditions,
one fixed and the other free. The free
potash is slowly dissolved in water-it thus
unites with sand to form the coating of the
straw. In the other condition mentioned,
it is fixed, and in that is insoluble in
water and, like humus, is unfit for food
of plants. To prepare the fixed potash in
the soil-that is, to degenerate tive must
expose it to air, moisture and heat; hence
we must pulverize the soil by the winter
frost, to admit of these conditions. Au-
tumn plowIng is supposed to kill many in
sects. That it does this to some extent is
doubtless true, but we apprehend less than
it has credit for. 1t can be done at time
when the teams are strong, the weather
cool, and so much of the spring work is
out of the way; while for spring wheat
and barley it is almost Indispensable.

The Convention convened to-day in the

chosen temporary Chairman. Gen. W. H.
Jackson was finally made permanent
President.
There has been confusion all day, grow
ing out of the antagonism between the
Changers and outside farmers, The con-
test is bitter, and will end, L fear, disas-
trously. The Patrons meet tonight to
reconcile their difficulties.
Gov. Brown addressed the farmers in a
neat speech of welcome.
NASHVILLE, Sept. II, 1878. e
There were disturbing elements in the
convention as I informed you last night
but I am happy to inform you that
they were all removed to-day. The ut
most harmony has prevailed ever
since. All are unit, and great good will
be accomplished. Politics have been ut
terly discarded, and but one purpose exists
that of advancing the agricultural inter

it was modestly declined. The Conven-

The Cotton Crop,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE statistic
ian of the Department of Agriculture, Mr..
Dodge, has returned from Europe, and af-
ter careful revision of the monthly re-
turns, fixes the following as the present
status of the cotton crop: The indicated
cent, the condition of the crop is higher
than in September of last year, in Arkan-
sas. The same in Tennessee and lower in
each of the other cotton States. The
worms have been more abundant, yet their
ravages have been disastrous or
sweeping in few cases. The season has
been remarkable for its rain fall, tending
to further the depreciation of the crop,
otherwise the conditions have been quite
favorable. Fertilizers have stimulated the
growth and labor has been steadier and
me- ore reliable.

FIELD AND FARM.

WE gave.some days ago the prices paid
for short horn cattle in New York. The
figures seemed very high, but there seems
to be buyers for all the pure blooded short
horns, Jerseys and Durham's. We find
high prices paid for stock in Kentucky.
The Home journal published at Licking
ton gives these figures Of recent sales made
at that place:
SO cattle averaged 59.59-amounting
to S1S6,5l6. TO which add the private
sales so far reported US, namely:
% animals averaged ST. 2l, amounting to
sos, 100, and we have the grand summary
for the two weeks sales as follows:
544 animals averaged SAFEST, amounting
to S224, GIG or, in other words, a quarter of
a million of dollars changed hands in this
little blue grass region of ours in less than
two weeks, and all for short horns.
The suggestion we wish to make is that
some of these fancy prices might as well
come to East Tennessee as Kentucky. We
have a few farmers who are going at this
matter in the right way. The only road
to success in breeding blooded stock is to
keep the very best. 1t costs something to
make the beginning but it pays largely in
the end,

Your WOrkmeH,
From Moore's Rural New Yorker. ]

[From Moores Rural New Yorkerl
What would you think Of a farmer who
brought home sick sheep, evea of the
most valuable stock, and turned il loose
among his flock? Yet his folly and sin
is light compared with that of man who
will knowingly employ an unprincipled
man on his place, where his growing boy
must associate more or less with him, and
listen to his evil conversation. 1t is a
small matter to have thousand sheep in
fected and destroyed by the contagious one
brought among them. But it is q fearful
thing 10 have your boys very soul cor
rupted, as it will be, perhaps, by one hour
of such association. One drop of iodine
will discolor many thousand times its bulk
of water. You would not drink from a
cup into which one drop Of sewer water
had fallen; you regard the whole as pol
luted. So a ten minutes talk of one
whose soul is seething and reeking with
foulness may reach down in its evil iuflu-
ence to your child's gray hairs. Better let
