Keep the Farm and Home Tidy.

Like other good things, the follow
ing good advice comes to the surface
occasionally, and will bear repeating:
If you get moment to spare spruce
up; put the gate on its hinges; put a
little paint on the picket fence you
built last year; trim up the door yard,
make it costly 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, it will mar
your peace, wound your self.respect,
and impair your credit. Then by all
means spruce up a little at odd times,
and even times, too, for that matter.
1t will make you feel vastly better,
and, may be, a trifie prouder of your
pretty homestead. Your wife and
children will be made happier for it
your neighbors will be enriched, beau
lifted and blessed by it, and your farm
will be worth more money in the mar
ket, and of greater value to you a
home, if you spruce up a little no"
and then.

4" Sheep Raising"
MARYvILLE, Tenn, July 8, lS7'

MARYvILLE, Tenn, July 8, 1919.
To the Editors Of the Chronicle:
Your remarks on the importance Of
raising sheep, leads me to say some
thing on the subject:
You say, eff our farmers were only
convinced that that business Would
prove profitable, they would certainly
engage in it," Your statement is true.
1 am extensively acquainted in Knox
and Blount counties, and l find many
are convinced that il pays 20 raise
sheep, if the dogs Were only ont OF the
way. I know farmer who could
keep a thousand sheep, but he IS so
discouraged 10y the dogs that he has
quit keeping sheep altogether. But
this j. not all. The other night Nv"
hungry dogs came aud attacked his
calves, aud while they were engaged
in killing one, he ran upon them and
discharged two pistol balls before they
were aware of his presence. since
this the dogs have killed his neighbor's
sheen. not only sucking their blood,
but eating their necks and heads oil,
something they seldom do unless very
hungry.
There are over two thousand dogs in
the county, and they must ue ted IT
they are not killed. The owners VIII
neither kill them nor allow others to
do il for them. Two years ago farm
er was fined $50 for killing a notable
sheep-killing dog. The justice Of the
peace who imposed that fine ought to
be made to wear dog skin clothing all
his days and never see wool as long as
he lives. 1t is amazing how some men
like dog hair better than line wool
Such men are crying out against the
Dog Law, that il is unconstitutional
and must be repealed. They are great
for adhering to the constitution. But
constitutional or unconstitutional the
Dog Law is the first thing we have had
in this country to check dogs and TO
encourage sheep raising. II the law
is not constitutional, let us make 1t so
rather than turn the dogs loose again.
Since the passing of this law, more
dogs have been killed than ever before,
in as short a time. The best men OF
the country say, let the Lar stand.
Some say that if the dogs are killed,
We will be devoured with wolves, fox
es, &c. l do not believe this. Dogs
are more worthless than we suppose.
The hen roOst of a farmer in Knox
county was robbed by fox. None OF
the dogs of the neighborhood could
catch it. A pack of hounds from dis
lance was brought and put after It,.
But soon they left the fox chase and
ran into the field and killed severa!
sheep and were driven off by the own
er. The old farmer never got rid OF
the fox till he gave him dose fstrych-
nine Valuable dogs were they.

The Crops.

It is now generally conceded that the
European crop OF cereals will not Doe as
abundant as it promised q month ago.
The prospects Of the wheat crop Of this
country are excellent. What with the
surplus left over from last year the crop
will be an ayeOage one, and a the South
win probably make enough for its own
use, there will be the greater quantity
for export. The cotton crop promises
unusually well, and the South bids fair TO
take long step forward this year. The
fruit crops are everywhere abundant, and
Providence smiles on all the labOrs Of the
fields. May it be the happy omen OF re-
turning prosperity.

This is the tenth day of continuous
rain at this hour, O'Clock p. NJ, it is
falling heavily. About four-ffths of
the wheat crop of this county is stand
ing in the fields in shocks, uncapped.
If it should cease to rain to-day, it
will be full week before it will be in
a condition to thresh. BY that time
at least one-half will be spoiled, the
remainder damaged If this rain is
general throughout Middle Tennessee,

Beware of Them.

Women should not wear striped stock
ings as they value their precious legs, for
the aniline dyes used in producing certain
colors are poisonous, and cause the worst
kind Of malignant sores-and of all nuisan-
ces sore legs must be the worst and most
destructive of beauty Strength, grace,
and good looks are walked away on such
legs. A great genious, the late Mr.. Haw-
thorne, has said that whitestocking is in
fnitely more effective that black one
and. certainly, white stockings and little,
low black shoes form a chauSSure that has
no equal for feminine feet and legs, and
that is far superior to one that has all the
colors of the rainbow. Striped stocking;
on women are as much out of place as strip
ed shoes would be on men.

We learned yesterday that Mr.. Jim
johnson, of Trundle's Y Roads, has
discovered silver on his farm in con-
siderable quantity. There are quanti-
ties of a particular stone on his and
adjoinidg farms, and Mr.. Johnson, en-.
tertaining an idea that they contained
silver, smelted one about the size OF
his fist in blacksmith shop, and re-
ceived of the precious metal to the
amount, in value, of 81. We under
stand he had the metal tested yester-
day by competent judges. who pro-
nounced it silver. If the facts are as
we learned them yesterday, not alone
Mr.. johnson, but several other families
in that neighborhood possess a rich
treasure, and will be independent in
the future.

The Christian Advocate on the Han
ner Investigation.

In this weeks Christian AdUocdte
appear the following editorial remarks
concerning the arraignment and sus-
pension of Rev. DR.. John w. Hammer:
We can not express our deep sor-
row for what has taken place in con-
nectiOn with the distinguished minis
ter whose name stands at the head of
this article. We had heard of the sad
case several days before it was known
to the public, but we never breathed a
word Of it to any person till we were
approached on the subject. Indeed,
we are not disposed to say much on
it now, as anything that might be said ,
in our position, is liable to be misun-
derstood and misrepresented, to the
injury of all concerned. We shall
therefore, be as concise as circumstances
will allow.
"Three ministers of the Murfrees-
| boro' District, of which DIR. Hammer
was Presiding Elder-we do not know
their names-reported the case to
Bishop McTyeire, who had an inter
view with DIR. Hammer, and also with
the young lady in question and her
brothers. He then summoned COM
mittee ofinvestigation TO meet at Muir
freesboro', July 8. He selected five
! judicious brethren from four Districts
to-wit: DR.. r.. II. Rivers, from Col
umbia District; l.. G. Bryan, Muir
| freesboro' District; w. II. Hughes,
Lebanon District; J. r. Plummer,
GAINESVILLE District; J. D. Barbee,
Murfreesboro' District. The commit
tee were in session a day and half
with c:osed doors, of course. Bishop
McTyeire managed the difficult bust.
ness with great prudence and ability
"At the present writing we have
not seen him or any of the members
of the committee since the investiga.
ton, except DR.. Rivers, whose hand
we grasped as we got out of the car on
our return from the springs, Monday
evening, but we had no opportunity
to converse with him. We have al
this time nothing to say in regard t.
the unfortunate affair, save this, thai
we have seen and heard of no one tha
does not deeply regret it, both on ac
count of DIR. Hammer himself and the
church OF which he has so long beer
distinguished minister; and we wOulC
add that as an Investigation is not {
trial we would counsel reticence
not only by the press, which in these
paINa is not ulspOSeu 10 zeal largely III
matters ofthis sort, but also by people
in general, especially our ministers
. We heartily wish the case would bC
entirely ignored until the session O
the Tennessee Conference i'm October
when the trial will take place. This
much we are quite sure we may ado
with perfect propriety, that as the &C
cused minister is i'm deep atlliction
overwhelmed with sorrow for whaI
has taken place, we should offer tC
God our sincere and earnest prayers
ON his behalf that He might resIor,
unto him the joy Of His salvation an,
/ uphold him with His free Spirit, ant
at the same time so override this sac
I occurrence as that it shall not result
In the injury OF the church which hr
has loved so well, and at whose altar
he has 80 long ministered.'
