Wednesday, February 4, 1874,
CONSOLIDATED.

The agency of the Cincinnati, Cnna-
berland Gap and Charleston railroad,
at this place, has been transferred to
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Company, and from SHnday
last all the business of the former
road will hereafter he transacted at
the f. T., Va. & Ga, depot by the
freight and ticket agent Of that
company, Mr.. ]. B. Leach.
This consolidation, we learn from
the late President of the c.. @. G, &
G. road, was brought about as
means Ofretrenching expenses alone.
uereteGOre the business has required
the attention of = President. Secre-
tary and Treasurer and Freight and
Ticket agent, at an expense of from
$1,000 to $500 per year. There has
been no complaint or fault found
with the discontinued officers of the
road. On the contrary, they are re-
garded as faithful and competent
men and have so managed the road
as TO make it pay surplus over run
ming expenses, during the past year.
The change, as we have said, was
purely a method of retrenching
what was considered an unnecessary
expenditure by the company, and it
will be hailed as a good omen by the
stockholders and the people. The
sum of $1,000 or $500 per year, it is
true, is q small amount to an institu-
ton dealing in thousands and mil
lions, but it is these small sums that
aggregate the large ones, and the
people will praise and sustain rail-
road officials who vigilantly watch
and keep down unnecessary eXpen-
ses Of every character. And this, it
is TO be hoped, is another evidence
that reforms will be kept up. The
terrible incubus of dead head tickets
is matter the public feel a growing
interest in and it may be the compa-
ny will next join with its western
connections in abolishing this out
rage upon the stockholders pockets
and unprecedented annoyance to the
officers of the company. That it
be next in Orde- the people pray.

Red Fox, we will not give currency
to the idea that Butler will do any
thing so generous for the friend.
The Carter county man says:
The gentleman whom we alInde
to is Major A. II. Pettibone, who
is we'll and so favorably known
throughout East Tennessee as one
Of her most able. unsulhed and dis
tinguished citizens. In all the walks
of life. which he has from time to
time pursued with URerring step.
Major Pettibone presents naught
but bright and spotless record /;
and if the Republican party of this
District should suffer wisdom and
foresight to govern their actions,
when they are called upon to select
staUdard-bearer in the next Con-
gressienal contest, they will be al
most intuitively constrained to give
to him their decided preference.

HOW TO GET GOOD Tobacco
PLANTS.

II you arc going to plant tobacco
this year, you ought to take the first
pretty spell this month to SOW your
seed.
Find a rich piece of new land clear
of stone. Grub it thoroughly. Rake
off everything to the clean soil; lay
poles across it three or four feet
apart. Upon these lay good dry
wood, split to about the size of large
fence rails, till the entire bed is
covered one stick deep. Then gath
er up bark, brush, &c, and put upon
this in sufficient quantity to burn up
the wood. After it is burned and
the fire all gone, take your rake and
rake off all the Goals, leaving the
ashes. Then with your mattock
chop the soil and ashes to the depth
of four or five inches thoroughly and
in such a manner as to leave the top
soil on top.
Rake till the top is thoroughly pull.
verified and level.
Mix your seed we'll in sifted ash.
es, putting one tablespoonful Of seed
to 100 square yards, SOW evenly;
and then tramp with the feet every
part Of the bed so as to pack it thor
oughly and leave it smooth. With
your pocket knife cut off every little
root that is to be seen. 1t may be
well to give the bed light covering
with pine or cedar brush; but keep
the dry leaves of. Do not burn
when tue ground is wet. Sow three
times as much as you think you will
need. Yellow orinoco and white
stem are considered the best varie-
ties of tobacco. advise new be-
ginners to get the white stem, as it
is so much easier to keep clear of
horn worms. j. e. HODGES.

TITANKs,-We are greatly indebt.
ed to friends in several places for
evidences of their efforts to enlarge
the circulation of the GAZETTE. Dur.
ing the last week we have added 81
new subscribers from eleven differ
ent Post Offices. To DIR. J. Il. Rob-
ertson, of this place, who has just
returned from brief visit to Hawk
ms county, we are largely indebted
for the substantial encouragement of
this footing up. A few such friends
as the Doctor and our list would
reach two thousand before the eighth
volume is begun. Let each one
of our subscribers send us new
one. There is no trouble in doing
this, if you only try. Now try.

Is. The schedule Of taxpayer IS
not complete wfthoat the OATH. The
law prescribcs it, a8ad know OF no
construction which can abrogate it
or by which il can be evaded. Those
who fail or refuse to take the oath,
subject themselves to assessment by
the assessor and the penalties pre-
scribed by section "a. BY section
572 of the Code, the taxpayer was
required to ''give in to the assessor
a complete list Of his property sub
ject to taxation of every description,
describing his land so as to identify
1t > and by section 578 the payer,
If he failed to give list, was to be
assessed a double tax upon the as
sessment of his property made by
the Assessor. BY section 573 the
tax payer was required to swear that
his list contained ''all and every
item of his taxable property.
Under section % of the act the
Chairman or Judge of the County
Court, the Clerk of the County
Court, the County Trustee, Sheriff
or Tax Collector, shall cite any per-
son who has not been assessed as
contemplated by law, or who has
been assessed an inadequate amount,
TO appear before hin. to be assessed
according to law, and such officer Is
authorized to make a proper as
sessment. Should it appear that
said person did connive at or evade
a proper assessment, said officer
shall correct the assessment and add
fifty per cent to the amount.
10. Under section 80 all clerks, clerks
and masters, receivers and commits
sioners, are required to make a re-
turn of the property, moneys, credits
and effects held by them in either of
said capacities. separate from their
individual returns. Blank schedules
should be furnished to these, and to
all executors. administrators, guar
dams, and all others acting in any
fiduciary character whatever, and
they should be required to report
under the penalties of the law. The
agents and attorneys mentioned in
that section are the agents and at
torneys of non-residents of or alb
sentees from the State.
20. Should the County Courts
allow compensation to the Assessors
additional to that allowed by Section
48. | shall not prevent nor interfere.
The Assessors are not, nor is the
Comptroller responsible for the law.
Their duty is to see to it's enforce
mcnt in such manner as will most
promote the interests of the State,
without doing injustice tie any class
of the people. To those who do
not comprehend the requirements Of
the act, every admissible indulgence
should be extended. Those who
openly defy the law that they may
continue to screen from taxation
that portion Of their wealth which
has heretofore been invisible to the
public eye and thereby avoided the
payment ef its share of the eXpen-
ses of the State, deserve no sympa
thy from officials nor from those who
honestly contribute their proportion
of the taxes which go to the support
of the government.

medicines, and there can be no doubt but that
many of them unworthy of public confidence
but because some are worthless it does not follow
