WE hear SO many complaints made
about the number of vicious dogs, in
the city, who keep the children especi-
ally in constant dread, that we think it
high time for some steps to be taken
TO get rid of this species of the canine
race. If people have severe dogs who
act as guard for them, let them keep
them in proper bounds, particularly in
day time, so that our citizens can 60
about at will, upon our streets, without
being molested by swarm of dogs.
If such animals are not kept at home,
where they properly belong. let every
one caught out be shot down upon
the spot"

TRIp To UNION CRY.

Friday morning of last week We took
passage for Union City, on the train
leaving here at $3.50, and after run of
about three hours arrived at Paris,
where we took breakfast with that
good looking and genial landlord, Mr..
Ed. Russell, who keeps good house
and deserves liberal patronage. We
were soon again in motion and after a
short run arrived at Mckenzie, and to
our great joy found the train on the
Northwestern road waiting for us, for
which the conductor received the
thanks of all the passengers for that
train, as it is frequently the case that
trains pull out from that station when
the other trains are in sight, causing
delay to passengers of about twelve
hours. Taking our place on board the
Hickman train, at $50 we had reached
our destination.
Union City is the largest town in
Obion county, has a population of
about two thousand, and is surrounded
by the most fertile lands in the State.
The great wants there, as we'll as in
some places nearer home, are energy
and enterprise. If the large farms of
that section were divided into small
tracts and offered at more reasonable
prices, the population would soon be
doubled and the prosperity of the coun-
try increased very materially. We saw
corn which had only two or three
showers since it was planted, which
will average eight to ten barrels to the
acre.
While there we called on Mr.. Nor
ton, the proprietor of the Reveille,
newspaper recently started in that
town. Mr.. NJ. is an enterprising young
man and a good printer. His paper is
neatly gotten up and shows considera-
BILE ability. We wish him abundant
success. Nothing does more to devel-
OPP the resources of town or county
than well conducted paper, and moth
ing better deserves liberal patronage.
Saturday we spent with our former
countyman, Mr.. John Roberts and his
family. He owns one of the richest
and most desirable farms in Obion
county, and with his natural industry
and enterprise he will yet make for
tune. -..g
Saturday night we took the train for
where we laid over until
$40 Sunday morning, when we resum-
ed our homeward Journey, taking din
ner with those clever and accommodate
ing gentlemen, L. Bradley & Son, at
Erin, and arriving home at 2:10 P. NJ.
We are glad to learn that the Grand
Central is in a fourishing condition.
1t Is one of the best kept houses on the
line of road.
We are under obligations to Conduc-
tor A. S. Balch, of the GAINESVILLE Di-
vision, a polite and accommodating gen.
tleman. In fact, he is as clever as An
drew Cooper, John Hilbert and John
Travis, the other three passenger con-
ductors on this division, than whom
no cleverer gentlemen or more courte-
Gus officers can be found on any road.

The death ola colored woman in this
place, last week, by a coal oil ex-
plosion, is forcible reminder, when
taken in connection with the many
similar accidents in other quarters, of
the urgent necessity for such legisla-
ton as will remove the danger which
threatens every household. No oil
should be put upon the market, which
has not been subjected to the severest
test, and parties selling oils not so
tested, should be subjected, by law, to
the severest penalty for every death
caused by coal oil explosions, and
traceable to the article they have sold.
The remedy is simple one for so great
an evil, and neglect to supply it, entails
heavy responsibility upon those
whose duty it is 10 guard the lives and
property of citizens. Adulteration, in
all things, is the order of the day, and
though in all such cases, wrong IS
done, high criminality should attach to
such authorizations as impair health or
threaten certain death or lasting bodi-
ly injury. The avarice which will
make money by risking life and health
and property, should be looked upon
as crime to be punished with the ut
most rigor. Already, families are dis
carding lamps and returning to the
use of candles with a decided relief
from the painful apprehension that
destruction of life and home depends
upon the purity of the oil in each
lamp, but, primarily, upon the honesty
of the man who prepared it. Some
competent men should be appointed in
every town, and as many as necessary
in cities to test in the most thorough
manner, all the oil brought into mark
ct, and penalties provided against deal
ers who sell oils not thus tested and
properly stamped.

We have seen the statement, some
where, that the most successful farm
ers in the cotton States, are those who
own small farms which they cultivate
with the labor of the family. One
reason of this prosperity is that those
those who rely, for living, upon their
own labor, are stimulated to fertilize
their few acres and to prepare and cul-
tivate them thoroughly. Another
reason is that there is no drain upon
their pockets to pay almost worthless
hirelings, and when the crops are
made, there are no partners with whom
to divide them. They have doubtless
learned, what so few farmers seem to I'M
derstand, that when ten acres are made
to yield, by being fertilized, as much
as twenty acres unimproyed, they save
one half the labor, one half the teams,
one half the loss by wear and tear and
reap as large Il yield, and the pro-
fits are more than doubled. This
conundrum any sensible farmer can
answer, yet false pride induces hun
dreds to make big show by scratch
ing the surface of broad fields and
Boosting of the number of indolent
field hands required to perform the
losing operation. And whilst this
show ofiarming on large scale, is going
on, fences are rotting, buildings are be-
coming dilapidated, sassafras and nox-
ious weeds are multiplying, and the
owner, is daily losing not only because
his crops do not pay the cost of pro-
duction, but because his lands are
depreciating in value, and dilapida-
ton is constantly demanding repairs
at heavy cost of time and money.
The small farmers, in the northern
portions of the cotton States whose
thin lands produce a bale of cotton
to the acre, are doing more to develope
the agricultural resources of the South
than all the large farmers who gather
a hundred bales from four or FIVE hun
bred acres, and the price of which
does not always suffice to pay for the
labor and necessary supplies.
