Tompkins, last Wednesday morn

the washing of 80 or 60 pieces CON-
menced about o'clock. The fabrics
washed consisted of heavy bed cloth
ing and all sorts of wearing apparel,
washed, rinsed, bluedand rinsed, starch
ed and hung on the line to dry in one
hour and three quarters. Several COM
petent lady judges were present, who
examined the clothes, and pronounced
them white and clean. andin excellent,
smooth condition for ironing. All
spoke in the highest terms Of the great
susperiority of this machine over all
others IN use, and two we're spoken for
to be delivered at once.
Mr.. Smith, of the Tobacco Leaf,
was to be on hand. to witness the trial,
but as he failed to appear, the ladies
decided to invite him over the next
day to do the ironing. We think ii
fortunate for the machine however,
that the Squire was not there, as it was
not properly adjusted for washing light
fabrics.
These machines will be put up out
of native material, in our own city, by
G. B. Wilson 4 Co., and all the money
aecruing from this enterprise will thus
be kept in circulation at home, instead
of patronizing foreign markets, as is
the case with most inventions. MIR.

TOBACCO BOARD OF TRADE.

At an adjourned meeting of the To-
bscco Board of Trade Of GAINESVILLE,
Tennessee, held this day at the Elk
change Rooms, the following resolu-
tons were offered and adopted. n
Resolved, That as the State law ex.
pressly forbids any warehouse pro-
prietor, or his employees, undera named
penalty for its violation from buying
or selling, either directly or indirectly,
any tobacco at his own warehouse, this
Board of Trade assumes that mere
knowledge Of this Law will deter all
of our honorable warehouse proprie-
tors from q known violation Of the
same. As = A@
End. That this, and other pertinent
sections of the State law be printed and
copies Be furnished to the Secretary
for distribution, and that the same be
paid for by order of the Secretary,
drawn on the Treasurer of this Board.
Sd. That this Board requests of the
warehouse proprietors a strict COM
pliance with the agreement entered
into By them with the buyers, that they
(thc warehouse proprietors) would not
make any demand on the original owner
of any hogshead of tobacco ON which
reclamations had been assessed and
paid BY them to the buyers for any part
Of the whole of such reclamation,
upless it can be shown that such hogs
head of tobacco was falsely packed or
nested.
18th, That q compliance with the
shirt Of these resolutions be accepted
as friendly settlement of all existing
disagreements between the warehouse
proprietors and the buyers affecting
the interest of both as well as that of
the planter. sr~ ~vr-s -
18th. That the Secretary request both
Of our city papers topublish these pro-
ceedings, that planters may know that
our Trade will deal justly and fairly
with them, and that buyers, whether
home or foreign, may feel safe and free
to bid the full value of every sample
of tobacco drawn here, whether offered
at our home Board or elsewhere.

TURNpIKE.-We are reliably in
formed that the people living on the
lima Of road from this city to Stokes
store on the southside Of Cumberland
river, are canvassing in their minds
the propriety of building turnpike
road, so as to secure q substantial
thoroughfare for the transportation of
their produce to and from our market.
They desire to bring it in this direc-
ton to connect with Greenwood Ave-
nue. pike at Greenwood Cemetery.
Our informant states that one en-
terprisipg gentleman proposes to build
two miles of said road, and several
others on the route express willing
ness to build such parts as will pass
by their farms, and he is also of the
opinion that many Others will do like
wise. IF this is the spirit that actu-
ates the citizens of that portion Of the
county, we can see no good reason
why the important work may not be
commenced at once. 1t would be of
vast importance to both town and
country. Most Of the farmers over
there already send their tobacco and
other produce here for sale, and with
such facilities as good turnpike would
offer, much more trade from that sec
ton may be secured. Good turnpikes
reaching out in every direction, would
do more to build up our city and the
surrounding country than does the
railroad, for railroads carry out much
more than they bring in, whilst the
bulk OF everything transported to US
by turnpike is sold in our midst. We
intend, at present. to merely throw out
a few suggestions upon this important
proposition, and hope the subject may
be carefully pondered by our people,
and that some decisive steps may be
taken in short time in regard to it.
We sre of opinion that the project
will meet with hearty response from
our citizens, for it certainly requires
no logical argument TO prove the great
value of such an enterprise to the bus
mess Of our city.
We would be gratifed to hear from
some one on the proposed line of road,
and will cheerfully give their eommu-
nica.ions place in our columns, SO
that facts and figures may be arrived
at. Who will respond +?
