THE M

1t is thought by business men gen.
orally that money matters in this sec,
ton will improve some within the next
sixty days. AS yet our farmers have
SOLD but little of their wheat, they have
plenty of horses and mules for sale,
and some have hogs and cattle. When
all the surplus is placed upon the
market we feel sure that money matters
will greatly improve in IL county.
The farmers are using more economy
now than formerly. They are not 60.
ins in debt as they did a few years ago.
Taking every thing into consideration
we think the prospect for the future is
much better than it was some months
since.

To the Public.

The continued success of the
Washington County Fair, is INT of
the strongest, ano most desirable
features Of the institution. TO per.
petuate this feature from year to
year, it Is only necessary that the
fricqds Of the enterprise rally to its
support, not only in person, but with
some article,o or product of the House,
Shop, or Farm to place on Exhibi.
ton.
While II Premium List is quite
liberal, every dollar of which when
awarded will be promptly paid in
cash, it is hoped that the patrons of
the Fair for 1875, will bring in any
and all other articles in any way cal.
culated to increase the display and
thereby the interest in the Exhibi.
ton.
In this way the friends ofthe Fair
can make 1t more attractive from
time to time than can possibly be
done should VIC confne ourselves to
only the articles upon which premi.
ums are offered.
There are hundreds of interesting
articles in the possession of the
people Of Upper East Tennessee that
would add immensely to the attrac-
tions of the Fair, and VIC hope thcy
will bring all such to the Fair for
Exhibition, whether a premium be
offered for the same or not.
Come II and all, and let us make
the Fair Of 1875 the pride Of our
section.

Our Carter Comfy Letter.

Mr.. Editor, l will intrude upon POUR
generosity enough to ask you to publish
a little more from nay allow moving pom,
which | hope may prove interesting, not.
withstanding the uncouth style in which
tho facts Are set forth.
On Saturday tho 9TH irst., a boy BY
the name Of Tim Arrants living in Dennis
Cove in this county, was bitten by a
rattle,snake, while he aud his brother
we're coming down the mountain side,
toward their homo at its foot. They
saw some birds fsttering around iu a
confused and excited manner, and was
throwing some rocks at them. when the
snake bit him on the top of the right foot
and cntwincd itself around bis log. lie
went home and corded his leg, but as it
swelled but little, it was taken off in a
short tir,e. lie suffered but very slight
pain until next day, when be suddenly
turned sick, and bad a parOxysm, in
which he acted as much like a snake as it
is possible to initiate that reptile. Since
then he has taken these spells every few
hours, every time acting in the same
manner. He is described as FIRST gong
off IN a stupor, and lie arousos suddenly
and looks furiously and fixes his eyes on
those about him, ticks out his tongue
like a snake, springs at those around him
with mouth open, snaps at them and
grinds his teeth together, so that he can
be heard some distance. His foo. will
culver in imitation of the snakes tail,
while, with his mouth, he makes that PEI
culiar singing noise which the r~attlesnake
makes with its ~rattles. Then whe1 the
paroxysm ceases, he becomes conscious
and perfectly rational, but has no knowl.
edge OF what has occurred during the
time he was suffering. Between the
paroxysms. he remains perfectly rational
in mental condition. DR.. James Alex>
auder is treating him, and gave the full
detail. as have given it. 1t is strange
but true.
Some boys were recently fishing on
the bank of Watauga River, near David
Hess, about five miles from this place,
when they discovered seine bones, made
bare by the last fresbet, which on ex-
animation proved to be human bones, and
after searching a little further they found
four human skeletons, apparently LAYING
been buried lopg years ago. Some
broken pottery, pieces of broken fints, an
arrow head and s)me burnt lime we're
found in the graves with them, and with
one Of them was found the skeleton of
a dog, which shows that they must have
been Indians. The bones of the human aud
those of the dog lay side by side in their
long resting place. which confirms the
old tradition, that the custom of the
Aborigines, who inhabited this country,
was to bury with the hunter who died his
dog and implements for hunting. under
the belief that the Great Spirit would
transport him from this to a more beauti.
fal, and & better hunting ground, where
his enjoyment wonld be greater, and hi,
game more abundant. These were
human beings, and yet like millions OIL
our race they went down to death. "un'

THE QUESTION,

The Democratic party at best is moth
ing moro than an agglomeration Of gross
inconsistencies. Uhce its corner stone was
African slavery,and its creed was the per-
petual cnslavement Of the colored race.
Th" war came aud with the general wreck
OF the Democracy, the institution was
swept away. After the conclusion of the
war the Democracy ''acquiesced' in its
results, aud according to their holding
wcro tho only friends Of the colored man
whilst those who fought for his emanci>
patton were his direst enemies.
Hitherto the Democratic party has
gloried in the advocacy Of a bard money
currency. The ringing click of coin was
music to its ears. The leaders Of this
party denounced the government, even
during tho war, for paying its soldiers
and purchasing its supplies with what they
were pleased to term rags" They
deuominated grceubacks, legal tenders
aud all other kinds of government money
as 'national lies" and the emblems Of
iegalised fraud. But now what a change /!
They have taken to a sudden disgust at
stamped metal, and want nothing better
than rags and national lies.' And the
spectacle is presented to the country of
a set Of men, who have demonstrated
their incapscity to manage their owip
financial affairs, debating a currency pot.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

We call the attention Of those officers
to the importance of looking earthly
after the schools. Too many schools
should not be opened in the districts.
Debts must not be contracted unless
there be some assurance that they can be
paid with reasonable p~romptness. No
teachers should be employed in the pubs
lie schools without a contract batween
him and the directors. Much depends
upon the activity and good management
of these officers.
