IN the Real Estate, Insurance and

Dow, who will succeed to the same
under the title of " CENTRAL AGENCYu
of Real Estate, General Insurance and
Collection Business, | will retire from
the bushes of the office, January LIST,
1876.
Mr.. T., Dean Dow. who becomes my
successor, and who is well and favora-
bly, known in this community, | most
heartily recommend To my patrons, in
the fullest confidence that he will give
each and all entire satisfaction, i'm con-
Quoting any business committed to his
CAFE.
To section Of country like East
ennessee-teem ming with natural
wealth, and only requiring for its de-
velopment capital and skilled labor
Real Estate Agency, that dissent
mates reliable Information and in
PRODUCES from time 10 time new popu-
lation, accomplishes very much for
the common prosperity, and should
have the generous support and encour-
agement OF the whole community. L
would, therefore, bespeak for my sue.
cessor the fullest cooperation of the
community in facilitating this branch
of his Agency.
To my extensive list of correspond
ents throughout the United States and
abroad, | can ,unhesitatingly say, that
full confidence may be placed in the
representations of my successor, with
regard to this beautiful section of the
south, 50 appropriately termed, 1.-THE

In reference to the Insurance Com
panies which Mr.. Dow will con-
tinue to represent, it is but proper
and right that l should say,
that they comprise some of
the Oldest and best American and
English Companies, having combined
assets of over twenty-three million
dollars. With these Companies prompt
settlements are made in case of fire,
direct with home offices, without the
complications of General or Adjust
ing Agent.
In severing my connection with the
business of this Agency, desire to
extend my grateful acknowledgements
ty my numerous patrons for over ten
years past. 1t is with a sense of deep
regret that / feel it my duty, from
personal considerations, to leave East

So long exerted whatever energies l
possess in its development, to engage
in business elsewhere.

FARMING.


70 tie Editors Of the Chronicle:
" Farming don't pay" that Il, some
kinds don't. 1t don't pay to pillow SO
shallow That the rains Will carry of
the soil, and the sun dry up The roots
that can only skim the surface. 1t
don't pay TO let weeds and sprouts have
free play, only mutilaling them occa-
sionally, until filling the ground is
like the boys combing his head once "A
week-he had an awful time of it. 1t
don't pay to crop the land forty or fifty
years, without grass or fertilizers Of
some sort, till all the nutriuye ele.
ments are used up, and so have to cul-
tivate ten acres to raise what ought to
be obtained on one. 1t don't pay to
let grass stand until it il dead ripe,
then cut it and let it stand in fiat hay
cocks till weather-beaten and rotten,
so that it is not as good as poor straw.
1t don't pay, to let grain stand in the
shock after 1t is fit TO 20 in, and have
the rains spoil it, As it did last sum-
mer. i knew man last year, some
where between Chattanooga and Bris-
tol, who scratched over an old sedge-
field with bull-tongue, drawn by n
poor horse, and sowed wheat. Last
harvest he cut it and put it in shocks,
and let it stand till the sprouts grew a
foot long, while he picked black ber-
ries. | knew another man with
in the same district, who
planted and sowed d field
until the ragweed sedge and briers
drove him out, and last season he let
the briers have it, and sold the black
berries, delivered on the bushes. Query:
Should such ever have families, or
have guardian, or go to the Asylum
for those who are non cOmpus mentis 4?
When l see such management it
makes me feel as Fanny Fern said she
did CatamOunty.
1t don't pay to feed hay and ruff fod-
der under foot, and' grain unground,
when ground and the fodder cut, would
save one-fourth or more. 1t don't pay
TO winter horses and cattle out OF doors,
or In stables with all outdoors blow
Ing through them and, with twice the
feed necessary, come out spring poor.
1t don't pay TO keep a lot of hungry
hogs in the road TO prey upon the
neighbors, get mutilated by dogs or
stray off and get lost. IL don't pay to
keep pack of hungry dogs to kill the
neighbOrs, sheep, while the children
grow up Ignorant paupers. The Minis
tiers Of the Gospel can not draw a nickle
from them. There. Messrs. Editors,

Early yesterday morning Chatta-
nooga was thrown into great excite
ment over report that man had
committed suicide in the city, aud up
on investigation II was found to be
true.
Some TWO weeks ago n gentleman by
the name of J.. b. Tufts, from New
Jersey, registered al the Reed House,
and bad passed the most OF the time
in reading newspapers, never speaking
to any one except when spoken TO.
On yesterday morning about half
past six o'clock he came down from
his room and passed out through the
hall, aud proceeding to the new Catho-
lie Church, which is being erected by
the Priest, he deliberately went in and
pulled Off his coat aud vest and placed
them in one corner of the building;
then placing a pistol, which was . sin.
gle barrel, to his left breast, fired, the
ball passing through the heart. At
the report of the pistol several persons
rushcr in and found the dying man
lying ru his back with the pistol by
his ~ p. He was taken up and carried
INTO the Van Horn House, when med
dical AID was administered, but to no
effect, IA he lived but about ten min
utes after reaching the hotel. a cor.
oner'S Try was summoned and render
ed u ve,dict in accordance with the
above facts. They then proceeded to
his room in the Read House and open
ed his trunks, but could find nothing
that would throw any light on the
mysterious affair. He was well sup
piled with clothing, having several
fine suits, and great many
other little tricks, such as brushes,
combs, &c. No money was found
either on his person or in his room
and it was thought that was the cause
of this rash act. The deceased was
about siXty-five years OF age, and was
the very picture OF health.

ABOUT SHEEP.KILLING DOGS
4 suggestIon from Roy" worthy o
Attention.

4 suggestIon from Roy worthy of
Attention.
PowELL's STATION, Dec. 8, 1875.
10 the Editors Of the Chronicle:
The dogs still kill n sheep occasion
ally. The material interests % the
State are being logged " at des-
! perate rate. l have inquired Of men
in different parts of the country, and
find that sheep-killiug dogs are to I've
found in almost every community. In
this connection let me make public
some ideas gained from old citizens Oh
this sheep-killlng question. When
dog takes to killing sheep, 1t becomes
mania with him, and he hardly ever
stops 1t, Dogs have been known to
follow this practice for years; and
when dog becomes old and cunning,
to avoid detection, he will often travel
several miles fFom home to satisfy his
cravings for sheep blood. One of our
citizens instanced "a case where two
dogs travelled nine miles, killed a flock
of sheep, and returned home before
day. They were tracked in the snow.
Wash. Price, of our district, tracked a
dog two miles, year ago, and killed 1t,
but not until 1t had killed thirty
lambs. j have not found where ever
a dog has been broken of sheep killing.
When once taken TO il the habit be-
comes o mania, and nothing but pow
der and lead will ever effect q cure.
As take 1t, this dog question demands
more attention than 1t receives. Give
us law forbidding the privilege of
more than one dog tn family,Or either
tax each dog az the law is and make
this lax dog fund, and when farm
er lous's sheep let him call in his
nrighhOrs to assess his damages and
then let him draw on the dog fund for
the amount of the value of his sheep.
The present law, which brings more
than a hundred thousand dollars into
the treasury of the State, all OF which
comes of the poor people, and with
out comforting much benefit on sheep
growing, is wrongly based. If this
hundr, thousand dollars was put aside
to make the farmers safe when they
buy valuable sheep, we would have a
new era in our prosperity. The best
men We have are despairing Of ever
receiving the protection they could have
in this matter. With land naturally
adapted to grass and a climate free
from the vigor of hard winter weather
etc, East Tennessee could make suflir
cient surplus to pay her public debt /
| protected in this one industry. Why
! don tour legislators 90 to Pennsylvania
add adopt her dog-sheep law. As
matter of dollars and cents it will pay.
We need never expect to prosper when
our hands are tied. Just az well pass
a law forbidding sheep growing, as to
fail to pass one protecting it. 4 real
efficient law will cost us no more than
this present falsefaced affair passed by
our last lunatic asylum. Roy.

GRASSY VALLEY, Dec. :, 1875.
To the Editors of the Chronicle.
The grass is still green in the valley,
and If the weather continues warm and
the showers descend, we expectto have
pasturage for our cattle and sheep in
abundance, but for all this we have to
pay, by tramping through the deepest
mud. The wheat fields are beginning
to look green, while the forest and hill
tops assume a lurid aspect that re-
minds one of an approaching winter.
Only few of our farmers have killed
their hogs, the weather having been
too unfavOrable. The supply of hogs
for the butcher in this vicinity is about
an average one, while great droves
pass by from Union, Claiborne, and
Granger counties.
The subject of graded schools has
been agitated in this district within the
last mouth, with considerable alacrity,
and the prupriety of erecting suitable
building, at Fancy Hill, discussed, but
We eau not tell yet what the result
will be.
We have considerabl. supply of irish
potatoes, for market, in this valley, but
we have concluded to hold them for
better price than 40 cents per bushel.
The marketable hay in this vicinity is
very limited, as two thirds of the en-
tire crop was badly damaged by the
rains that fell last harvest. About the
only resource we have recourse 10 in
the surplus of wheat, which has not all
been disposed Of.

A Man Drowned at Chattanooga.

Monday Mr.. VIM. Benson, a me-
chanic at Smiths Cross Roads, with
Mr.. d. r. McClelland, started from
Bells landing for Chattanooga in q
skiff. They reached the point where
the Cincinnati Southern Railway
bridge is being constructed in the
night. A rope stretched between the
Golfer dams, which was not observed,
caught the boat and upset it, throwing
out both occupants. The current
being very swift the boat was carried
away, leaving both men clinging to
the rope. From some cause Mr.. Nc
Clelland was sweptaway and drowned.
Mr.. Benson succeeded in retaining his
hold, but was unable to advance either
way along the rope. Finally some
persons hearing Mr.. BensOn's calls,
came in a skiff and rescued him. The
body of Mr.. McClelland has not yet
been found.

Of new work, from the House Of Rob.
ert Clark & Co.. Cincinnati, entitled
History of the Army OF the Cum
berland, by Thos. p. Van Horne, Of

out doubt one Of the most valuable
contributions to the true history of the
late war that has been written. IL is
highly recommended by the press, as
being book Of intense interest. fhp
Army of the Cumberland, under the
command of General George II q.
Thomas, passed through some
of the most exciting scenes Of
the war, participating in some
of the bloOdiest engagements, on
the hardest fought fields of that eXcit-
ing period. The author was u Chap
lain in the army, and Is gentleman
Of the highest chat acter, consequently
what he writes may be relied upon AS
true. His facilities for gathering in
formation have been excellent, so that
the work will be thorough and COM
plete.
Thee are thousands Of persons all
over East Tennessee that served on
either side during the war, who will
peruse this work with thrilling
interest. In addition to its well
written matter, the work contains
elegant maps OF the territory over
which the Army of the Cumberland
operated. We commend the work to
the thousands of px-Federal aud ex
Confederate soldiers in East Tennes-
see, as one Of the very deepest interest
to them.
