Il CALL FOR Il CONVENTION.

To the colored Uoters Of the First Con-
gresSiondI District of Tennessee .
1t seems that the time has arrived
for us to take steps tending to our
own political interests and welfare,
and it is eminently proper, as we
think, that we should meet in con-
vention to discuss measures tending
to promote our prosperity, together
with the prosperity of our other fell
Iow-citizens. Not that we believe
that our welfare or our interests are
in the least antagonistic to our white
peoples interests, and welfare, but
believing that we are sufficiently nu-
merous in this district to warrant us
making a suggestion as to our pref
erence in political matters, and es-
.pecially in regard to the various can
didates who seek to obtain our suf-
frage at the various elections. We
do not propose to array ourselves
against the white citizens of the
State, or of this section; but, it
seems to us both prudent and wise
that we should have a voice in Sc
leeting the candidates who aspire to
hold the various offices both State
and National. wherein we are called
upon to cast our vote. 1t is not
right, it is not in accordance with
the dignity of freemen, nor in keep
ing with the spirit of American in
situations that we should vote for
any man or set of men who deign
not to notice us except when they
want our suffrages. tits high time
that we should be up and doing
that we should look about US and see
who are our friends. and who does
most in our respective counties and
towns, to advance our social inter
ests and our welfare as citizens and
we know of no way this end can be
attained better than by meeting in
common council. and giving our
views, observations and personal ex-
perience. 1t is not proposed that
we shall, as unit. support any man
or any party regardless of our indi-
yiduaI preferences and sympathies,
but to act in every instance in local
and county elections, where we are

TO THE PEOPLE OF NORRIS
TOWN.


Your Board of Mayor and Aldermen have been
at a loss to know what course to pursue to insure
the necessary cleanliness of the town during the
spring and summer months We had thought of
passing an ordinance enfol cling the cleansing of
every premise within the Corporate limits. But a
people, taught by the melancholy history of our
sister towns and villages during last summer and
by the sad memories of Cholera in our own midst,
win surely need no compulsion to force them to
perform duty known and acknowledged by all.
An ordinance has been passed establishing a
Board of Health for cur town and, in accordance
with its provisions, men of undoubted medical
ability have been appointed who are ready and
willing to do all in their power to secure the great
end in view. It becomes then, as prudent
people, to heartily cooperate with this Board !;
and, at all times, to heed their necessary and
wholesome advice and instruction.
Let each citizen for himself, that his premises
are thoroughly cleansed of all excrements, filth,
and dec0mp posing matter of whatever description,
calculated in their very nature, to breed disease
contagion and death. Let us be wise and evert. il
possible, the terrible scourge that will ruthessly

THE UNION PRAYER MEET
ING.


As announced last week. the pray.
er meeting was kept up daring the
week, at the Presbyterian church.
The attendance was good and the
meetings peculiarly solemn. The
special objects of prqyer-the youth
of the land and the temperance re-
form-were the burden of every
prayer. At the same time, the
thought has been constantly brought
forward that other sins and other
vices should be remembered at a
throne of grace.
The series Of exercises has had q
favorable Impression upon all classes
IN the community. Those who would
probably have openly opposed an
ordinary temperance movement,
struck with the earnestness and so
lemnity of these meetings, either
endorse them or hold their peace.
The friends of the cause have pre-
pared a paper containing pledge,
binding the signer to labor for the
enactment Of an ''optlon law" and
''total abstinence pledge, arranged
as follows a1a3 s3A pn
WE, the undersigned, do pledge ourselves to use
our influence, in all prudent ways, to secure the
enactment Of an option Law, by the next Legisla-
ture Of Tennessee, prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of ardent spirits to be used beverage
unless auth rzed by majority of the legal voters
of the corporation, district county wherein il
may be proposed to manufacture or sell the same.
We do, specially, pledge ourselves to work for
the suppression Of the liquor traffic in our imne-
date vicinity.

KNOWLEDGE OF ONK's BUSINESS In a
late address before one Of our Dairymen's
Associations, the following truths were
uttered: 1T is one of the greatest mis-
takes of our farmers that, as a rule, they
suffer the buyer to know more about the
quality and value Of farm products than Is
known by those whose labor makes them.
The buyer has tests which the farmer does
not have. l notice that when the wool
buyer comes around he takes out his glass
and sees at glance the structure of the
article In hand. and knows more about it
than he who has toi!ed year in It's pro-
duction. The same theory Is true of seeds.
The magnifier Is applied To pork TO see IT
1t is infested with strichina. l think /. is
true. As a rule. that buyers of farm pro-
ducts know more about them than the
producers. The man who knows the most
always gets the best Of the bargain. 1t is
certain that knowledge is power in making
a trade. 1t can safely be put down as a
rule that man, who for natural or artifi-
cial reasons, can see hundred times as
much as his neighbors, will know the mar
kets.''

An INTELLIGENT FARMER.-The follow
ing story Is told by the New Bedford.
(Mass.,) Mercury: Not many years ago,
q physician who lives no, thousand miles
of, was summoned in haste to attend a
patient at Naushon. On arriving at the
island and inquiring for a conveyance to
the house he wished TO visit, he was di.
rected to . farmhouse near By. Here the
doctor found man. whom he requested

interest OF his patient, desiring him TO be
lively. The man pleasantly and promptly
complied, harnessed the team and was
speedily driving over the road at a good
rate. The doctor en- route discussed farm
ing, and was struck with the general in
formation and conversational powers OF
his driver. On arriving at the house q
half-dollar was rendered 10 the man but
was gratefully declined. What Is the
name Of your intelligent farmer said the
doctor, after he had finished his profession

How TO MAKE A LAwN.-F. r. Elliot,
An undoubted authority upon this matt err.
recommends, in the Gardeners Monthly,
the following plan for seeding down q
lawn; Let us just say . word touching
the fact that good, deep soil, thoroughly
trenehed, eighteen inches deep, raked
down, with every stone removed, and
seeded per acre with Ave bushels OF what
is generally termed lawn grass-seed. in
the mrs: requisite. The mixture l would
make should be twenty-eight pounds OF
clear Kentucky blue grass, the same Of
red-top, twelve pounds of white clover,
and ten pounds of creeping bent-grass TO
the acre. In sowing this seed do il three
several times, /. C.. divide 1t into three par.
cells. Sow first east and west, then rake
the ground lightly; then SOW north and
south, rake again lightly, not over half an
inch deep, with light steel rake, then
sow again the last third Of the seed east
and west, aud roll it-rake no more. but
roll it, first east and west, then north and
south, and then again east and west. |

SPRUCE UP.-we do not know where
this bit OF good advice originated. but it is
worthy OF note: =
II you get a moment to spare, spruce
up; put the gate on its hinges; put little
paint or the picket fence you built last
year; trim up the door yard; make 1t coy
and inviting. Do not say you can find no
time to attend to these things. The fact is
you have no right to be slovenly. 1t can
do you no good. but on the contrary II will
mar your peace, wound your self respect
and impair your credit. Then, by all
means, spruce up a little. at odd times,
and at even times too. for that matter. II
will make you feel vastly better. and, may
be, tribe proud of your pretty homestead.
Your wife and children will be made hap
pier for IL; your neighbors will be enrich
ed, beautified and blessed by it; and your
farm will be worth more money in the
market, and Of greater value to you at
home, If you spruce up little now and
then.

BREED From The BKsr.-This should
be the motto Of every farmer whether in
raising cattle, horses. sheep, or any 9TH
er domestic animals. 1t costs no more.
after the investment, TO raise an improved
animal than an inferior one, whereas the
former will oftep sell for double or triple
what the latter will bring. In breeding
cattle, for example. the payment of few
dollars for the services OF al improved
male will generally pay largely-not unfre-
quently from ten to Ely fold. Those who
would heed this suggestion need no, be re-
minded that now is the season for proper
