Ample preparation in the way of seats
had previously been made in a beautiful
grove. also, a handsome stage was erected
and decorated with choicest flowers. The
convention was called to order at 10, A.

ers would effect salutary reform Yet
at the same time l think we should be
careful to avoid the scylla of too little
anxiety about our farmers rights on one
hand, and the C~hsrybdis of an aggressive
spirit on the other. The farmers in this
vicinity are entering into and organizing
clubs with a good deal of zeal, which au.
gurs well fer their ultimate success. AT
2 O'Clock, P. NJ. half an hours intermis.
sion was given for refreshmeht, when. eve.
ry n partook freely Of the ''basket din
ner' which was in waiting. After inter.
mission the convention was again called
to order. Some discussion then ensued
as 10 the expediency of establishing q
store house for the reception of salt, iron
and such other commodities as are Of
necessity to farmers.
The Committee on Resolutions repor.
ted a number of p~reambles and ~resolu,
lions, and after leaving of the uhcreos.s,
the following seems to me to be the most
important of them.
ResOhed, That. the Legislature Of
Tennessee should fix by law the max
imum rates Of freight to DO charged BY
Railroads Of the State.
Rtso'red, That, our only protection
and safety as farmers, consists in thorough
organization, that We may act in concert
and meot the advances CT those who would
destroy our interests.
ReSo'ce1, That, we do not propose Ia
make war upon any class, but simply aim
to guard and protect our own rights as
freemen.
Resolved, That a committee of twj
from each adjacent club, that is represent.
ed to day in convention, be appointed b,
the chairman to prepare and mature q
plan for the erection of a house or place
of deposit, that the wants of the producer
may 5a accommodated. and likewise re-
port their progress Mt some appropriate
piece that may be designated By this com,
mittce at rs carly a day as practicable.

article We're appointed as the committee

1t does seem to me Donald, that if /

year talking, lecturing, writing, and do
ing all you could to make pc eple do right,
leave off bad habits and become respec.

all pray tell me! Now there's John
Holmes for instance, you have given him
lecture after lecture upon the evils Of

to think it has been ell labor lost-all

Two years ago William Howe rented
the basement of the store around the cor

evening after christmas, when your two
boys and my Johnnie came home drunk.

question once raised | was resolved it
should not die out till the end was &C.
