FIGURES FOR OUR PRODUCERS.

We give in another column some facts
about the amount of business done in this
city ia what has been called the "s,nall
economies" Of the farm. When we add to
the figures given in reference to our own
city, those that express the trade Of our
other shipping points, it shows an i'm.
lnense business in the two items referred
to. 1t is entirely within bounds to say
upon the basis we have furnished that
East Tennessee ships annually three
fourths of million dollars worth of eggs
and feathers. These two items form but q
small part Of the incidental products Of
the farm. They are little things in
each farm household, but when the
aggregate is presented it shows
hos important 1t is to our producers to
gather up the small products from their
farms. These two items could be doubled
on every farm, without much cost or extra
labor. They bring to our section q large
sum Of money. Double it, and it becomes
a source of revenue equal to products con-
sidered far more important.
The Spring opens auspiciously. The
fruit crop promises 20 be unusually large.
Leaving aside all consideration for our
wheat, which never looked SO well, let Us
for the present urge upon all classes the
great importance of increasing our pro-
ducts. Let our farmers dry more fruit,
which always commands fair prices. Let
them make up their minds this year to
double the small products of their farms,
and the difference in the general prosperity
of the country will soon be felt. All Of Us
are directly or indirectly dependent upon
what is produced from our farms and mines
and workshops. The farmers furnish the
basis for our prosperity, and when they
prosper we all prosper. When they Ian
guish every department soon feels 1t. 1t Is,
therefore, to the interest of all classes that
our suggestions hare their due considera-
ton.

WE noticed, some time ago, the report of
a " bogus land swindle," in which the
names OF Gen. John II. Wilder and John
Trimble, of Tennessee, and ex-Cov. Cox,
of Ohio, were used. At the time, we said
that either their names were used withoul
authority or, if it was endorsed by them,
it was no swindle. We have since seen au-
thorized statements from each of them that
their names were used without their
knowledge or consent and they dlsclaip
knowing anything about it. Just as we
thought. All OF the gentlemen named are
too honorable to be identified with anv
Joo. Their characters for integrity are too
well established to have even suspicion
thrown over them by any such tricks.

This week We were called upon to
chronicle brutal and dastardly murder
which took place in this county on Thurs
day night, the particulars of which are to
be found elsewhere. These things are get.
ting to be too common. Only a week or
TWO ago, we gave the particulars of one in
Loudon county. A few days ago, man
was shot at Heiskell's Station in this coun-
ty and brought here in critical condition.
Now comes the cowardly murder of Mr..
Reynolds. We have no doubt that the
proper authorities in this county will take
every step necessary to bring the guilty
parties to justice. Our people owe il to
themselves to aid in every possible way to
nave the murderers arrested. Our good
name viii suffer unless something is done,
Let these men who think that thew are at
liberty to take the life of felIow-man
upon any sort Of provocation, feel the re-
strsining influence of the law. We are
not OF those who take great delight in cap
ltai punishment; but it does frequently
seem as if hemp" is the only argument
that proves effective.

GEN. GARFIELD has made an able and
effective speech in reply to Mr.. Dawes, in
reference to the expenditures of the Adj
ministration. He claimed that there had
been reduction of S11 100000 from the
estimates in the three appropriation bills
already passed, and that if the House sus-
tanned him in the other bills, the total re-
duction from the estimates of the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury would be s34 10000

DEATH OF Ex-PREsrDENr FILLMORE


United States, died at Buffalo New York
on Sunday night, as related in our dis.
patches in this issue of the CHRONICLE
He was born in Cayuga county in that
State, on the 9TH day of January, 1890. In
, early life his advantages were limited in
deed, and we are told that at the age of
nineteen, he had scarcely cverseen a gram.
mar or geography. He had been appren-
ticed to learn the fuller's trade and his
time had been divided between cardinp
wool and laboring on his fathers farm.
he spent a portion of his winters
| at the common schools of the State,
and in this way obtained all
the education he ever received. He stud
led law under disadvantages such as would
have discouraged most Young men. and
! admitted to the bar in 1928, the court
making a special exception in his case, so
as to admit him, without the usual rigid re.
quirements. He struggled through poverty
almost AFFECT, to a large practice, and soon
commenced making his mark in the world.
In 1879, be was elected to the New York
Legislature by the anti-Masonic party, and
served three successive terms. In 1882 he
was first elected to Congress, as an anti
Jackson man. He afterwards served sew
eral terms in Congress, and took
prominent part in the discussion of that !
body, acquitting himself with much dis |
tinction. In the Wing convention which |
met at Baltimore in 1874, he was support |
ed for the Nice-Presidency by large mi. |
nority, but was defeated by Mr. Freeling-
huysen. The same year he was the Wing
candidate for Governor of New York, but |
was defeated by Silas Wright, the Demo
cratic candidate. In 1S4S he was elected
Nice-President on the ticket with General
Taylor, and by his death he became Presi-
dent on the 10th day of July, 1850. He
called around him cabinet composed of
the best and ablest men in the nation Dan,
lei Webster being his Secretary of State, and
his administration became very popular
with his friends. Many intricate questions
presented themselves during his term of
Office and were satisfactorily disposed of.
In 1876 he was the candidate Of the Ameri.
can party for the Presidency, but yas de-
feated 10y James Buchanan. the country
making choice which has been almost
universally regretted, and the victor in
TINS instance stands in much less favor
able attitude than the vanguished.
Since that time Mr.. Fillmore has not i
been engaged in public life. He has re-
manned quietly at his home in Buffalo en-
Ioying the pleasures of literary pursuits.
and the society of his friends. among
whom he was universally esteemed.
His illness has been Of short duration, S
A few days ago he was stricken with par {
aiysls. AT first, his condition was pro
nounced critical, but soon his physicians {
announced that he might be on his feet :
again. But it seems that these hopes were 8
delusive, aud that he sank and died on s
Anday night, as stated II

THE efforts being made by the different
bodies of the Presbyterian Church, to eff
feet an organic union are little less crafty
ing to members and sympathizers with
that large body Of Christians, than to the
world at large. Everything that is calcu-
lated to unite and harmonic the Christian
world, is gratifying to the lovers of moral
ity and religion.

TIE progressive public sentiment which
has taken shape in this State within a
short time pest on the subject Of education
Is gratifying to every public-spirited, phi
lanthropic person. The statistics Of the

The time Is within the memory Of all
our people when there were persons
III Knoxville who openly opposed
free schools while there were
those who secretly opposed them, but we're
ashamed, or thought it bad policy to do so
openly. Now men who do not openly, and
even enthusiastically endorse free schools
are scarce, indeed.
1t is this progress in public sentiment
that is gratifying. The public mind was
first enlightened as to the real facts, and
now, in q remarkably short space Of time.
next TO impossible 10 get the people to give
zap their free schools.
1t is also gratifying to know that the
schools have been well managed-not per-
fectly, but well. The State Superintend-
ent, and the County Superintendent, so
far as we know, have done well. Our
own county superintendent, although his
compensation is totally inadequate, has
been particularly Jealous. He has not
only visited the schools, but nc has aio ased
spirit Of enterprise among the friends of
education, which Is manifesting itself ia
the erection Of quite a number Of first-class
school houses.
Altogether, the friends Of educ ,tion ia
fSnnessee have ample Cause for encourage
ment In the rapid strides they have made
within the past two years.
