WASHINGTON COUNTY

This is the Oldest County in the State,
and Jonesboru', the county seat, was its
first capitol. The county is one of the
steppes of the Appalachian Range and pre-
sents some of its %loftiest attitudes. The
climate OF this section is mild, genial and
transcendantly lovely. Italy is its twin
in fair skies. beautiful air, winter mild
ness and summer s%oftness. The AeneaS
of each have the same cardinal. No tropic
fervor nor arctic rigor is known, Here
the %antipodal zones meet in perfect
friendliness, the magnolia of the South
blooming side by side, with the Alpine
flower. The CLINT of every sunbeam is a
blessing and iullharvestS bear the fruitage
Of the genial cline.
The topography Of the country is an in
tormingling of wooded hills, magnificent
mountains and fertile %vallies. The
Holston and N~olachucky rivers roll their
silver. FURNISHED waters alorg the North
ern and Southern boundaries, with many
large streams immediate. The lands
along these water>courses are as fertile as
the far>famea regions ofthe Nile, The gen.
eral character OF sill is alluvium and clay
resting on a limestone formation, The soil
is susceptible of the highest degree OF
culture and retentive Of fertilizers. The
soil is adapted to the raising of all kinds
of cereai-Wheat, Oats, Corn and Bar
ley. The county may be said to be the
native home of the potato-every kind
growing and maturing to the richest per-
lection. The culture of tobacco woul1
be q renumerative investment. We have Q
certain character of soil not surpassed by
the pine fields o. Eastern Virginia for the
production Of the weed. Every kind o.
vegetables flourish here and attain the
richest maturity, Water-power is abun
dant.' On every stream, from river tt
%riyulet, manufactures could be established
run by water. There are ffty-two flour
ing mills in the county, aud their pro
ducts sell for the highest price IN tn
leading markets of the country, Goo.
schools are abundant and that other eyl
dence offs refined civilization-the Churc|
is to be found in every n~eighborh'od
The kindness and hospitality of the peopl
are 50 marked snd unvarying as to hav'

belong to the family of virtues that mar.

Editor Herald and TriJune We
the Grand Jurors of Washington County
beg leave to enter through your paper,
our solemn protest against the action of a
portion of the Magistrates composing our
County Court at its April term 1875, III
relation to re>districting the County.
l. The Law requires that two thirds of
the acting Justice of the Peace shall be
present, to change the boundary of any
district, make a new district or re.district
a county. Said law was not complied with
by the Court, there being forty Justices
of the Peace in the County and only
t~wenty>threc present and voting, twelve
for and eleven against said obnoxious
measure
2. 1t is entirely unnecessary and un>
called for, and will prove detrimental to
the already overl urdened taxpayers, aud
will not i'll our opinion in any way iacili.
tate the Public school interest, for which
purpose said measure purports to have
been enacted.
8. Said measure, according to our es.
timation, will not cost less llau a thOhS.
and dollars, which is no small item con
sid1ring the financial EMBELLISHMENTS Vi
our county.
4. We are fully satisfied, that said ac,
ton of the Court does not meet with the
approval and appreciation of niue>tenth,
Of the tax payers Of the County, but il
condemned and denounced by them as al
iniquitoLs aid unjust meaeu e.
We hope that the committee appointed
to carry out said measure, will take n,
action in the premises. until after til,
July term of the Court, IN order .ha
there may be a fair and full expression
Of the whole Court, believing Ii they d,
that they will be acting i'll a capacity
wholly unauthorized by law and will To-
be compensated for such action:

JEFF DAVIS FOR PRESIDENT.

Some Of the democrats up north are
becoming alarmed fearing that jeff
Davis will force himself on the Demo-
cratic party as the next candidate for
President. ravis and his admirers
constitute the majority of that party
and if they should take a notion to
put him on the ticket northern Democ,
racy will certainly have to cat that
kind of fowl, and while they make hor-
ible faces about it now, we guess they
can stand it when the time come. The
capacity of the average Democratic
stomach is immense.

TAIN'T POPULAR.

Too many men we fear, are afraid to
advocate what they believe to be right,
because public opinion may not approve
it. Public opinion right or wrong is the
highest standard to which we may appeal.
If a measure be popular, no odds how
.odioui or initui Gus, it will have suppor>
tiers. A certain class is to be found in
every community which is ever on tie
watch for the popular side of a question.
The cunning fox is not more careful to
guard the approach of an enemy than
is this class to scent the popular side. 1t
is unfortunate that men of this class fill
importan. positions in society. They are
ever ready to leap on the side that counts
the larger number. Such men are more
tickle than the uncertain wind. They
have no settled opinions Of their own, but
yibrate from one. extreme to the other
and gravilate finally to the weaker side.
Tain't popular! Is it right? Is it
just, and does the public welfare demand
it? We say stand up for the right. II
may be popular or 1t may be unpopular.
What does popularity amount to any
Ask those who have worshiped at its
shrine. 1t is the embodiment of tickle.
rcss, aud its heart-broken worshipers are
lodged on all the wrecks that lie along
lifcs uneven ways.
