H7TN "

1t win be seen from the following
letter that MAJ A. J. Mountcastle
proposes to get up a premium Of
$500 to be paid at the Z. d. Fair in
1875, for the best acre of wheat, to
be raised in East Tennessee in 1876 +:
Messy CREEK, Aug. %, 1876.
Dir. ED1ToR: This being the season
to prepare and SOW wheat, wish
tArough your paper, land hope it may
be copied in all East Tennessee papers.
to propose to be one of five hundred, or
more, that will give one dollar, or one
bushel of wheat, as premiums for the
best acre of wheat. to be raised in 1876
only such fertilizers to be used as is
made on the farm.
would suggest for the best acre $500;
second best $3.50; third best acre
500; fourth best $50. Open to all East
Tennessee.
will also make one of three hundred
or more, for Jefferson county. Parties
wishing to subscribe to the jefferson
county proposition will please report to
Geo. =. zoe, Secretary of Jefferson
County Agricultural and Mechanical
Association, at Messy Creek Those to
the East Tennessee proposition, to G..
w. Charlton, Knoxville.
Respectfully,
A. j . MOUNTcAsTLE,
We cali the especial attention OF
our farmers to this proposition, and
pronounce it move in the right di-
rection.
Let every farmer who expects to
raise wheat in 1876 try for this hand
some premium. 1t is money made
if you fail to getth premium. Break
up and subsoil your acre of land
fertilize it thoroughly, by the use of
lime. ashes, well rotted manure, any
thing that vii make it rich; select
pure, sound wheat, and screen out
the largest grains for seed put the
land in thorough filth, and sow the
wheat in good time. The result will
be: 1st, Thirty, forty or fifty BUSH
els of excellent wheat, at less cost
per bushel than if the land only pro
duted six bushels per acre. End. An
acre of land that will produce i'm
mense crops of anything in which it
is cultivated for years to come, and,
Sd, farmer, and perhaps a whole
neighborhood, thoroughly convinced
that wheat is more cheaply raised by
high fertilizing and thorough culture
than in any other way.

This is our humble advice to the
people of our state who have just
emerged from tho slough of Des-
pond. Let us not become intoxi-
Gated in our joy, but rather let us be
temperate and sober minded. In
our Civilizations, let us not stoop to
bitterness and seek out objects for
punishment. Let us show to the
world that we can not only mani
fest powers of endurance. but that
we can forgive those who subjected
us to all manner of tyranny and
oppression, and that when great and
important interests are inyolv ed
and are to be determined for our
good, by sober aud conservative
course, we can lift ourselves above
small and pitiful prcjudices and dis
likes. We have gained II glorious
victory, far greater ono than the
most hopeful had predicted. Our
aim and study now should be to
hold fast to it. lie; Us make no
step backward. Tho Democratic
party has como into power in this
state under pledges of reform and
rctrenchment 1t has plighted its
faith, its honor to the masses, fr,es-
pcctIve of race or color. Lot that
faith be unbrokcn-lct that honor
lie unsullied.

We have, as a party, announced
to tine world that we have no SYM
pathy with peculation and dishon-
est rule. This has been the watch
word, the battle cry of the Demo-
cratic party. Now that the victory
is ours, let US act up to our profess
SONS, not only in our state affairs,
but in our county and municipal.
Stop the drainage on our treasures
in the way of sinecure Offices, exor-
bitant fees, retainers, etc. When
ever and wherever legal or clerical
services are needed, give the par
lies employed fair compensation,
such compensation as is just to the
hirer and hireling-no moro and no
less. Let us discountenance tho
spirit that is cropping out already,
the greed for Office. If we have Of
fees to bestow, let them be given to
the best and most deserving men.
We can find plenty such men out
side of the ranks of that class who
seek after Office. Let US seek the
men for Offices and turn our backs
upon those who seek after them.

What our county and state need

What our county and state need
now that we have got rid of the op-
pressive and intolerant rule of the
carpet Dagger, Is the full develope-
ment of our native talent and re-
sources. It has been set down to
our credit that we are strictly an
agricultural people, that our wealth
and dependence arc in our fertile
soil and its m unificent and varied
crops. Our people have been con-
tent to accept this, and few have
claimed tor US anything more. We
have made little or no effort at man
nfacturing. It is true, here and in
other sections of our state cotton
mills have been projected with no
success, except in ono or two in
stances. These instances are, in
themselves, conclusive proofs that
cotton manufacturing, when proper
~ managed, can be made profitable.
The failure o. our cotton factory to
reach completion and to be put in
running order does not prove that il
It had been completed and equipped
It would not have been operated
profitably.
But cotton manufacturing is not
che only enterprise that should COM
1nand our attention, and that will
pay if properly managed. Wagon
factories, chair factories, in fact
half a dozen or moro branches of
manufactures from wood might be
made profitable, and at the same
time furnish rcmunerative occupa-
ton to large class of our people.
So with broom factories, match fac
tories, paper box factories, paper
collar factories, and an endless num-
Der of smaller trades, all of which
are carried on North and East.
What we want Is to get started
right; this is half the battle. Let
one or two factories start and get
well under way and others will
spring up right around them. We
hope soon to see move made in
this direction, for when the buzz of
the spindle and saw arc heard, then
will begin the era of our prosperity.
