? For private reasons we agree
with the Brownsville States that 1t

We have been negligent in
performing the customary courte.

Republic, a monthly paper, has
been moved from Mississippi to this
county. It is in the editorial

excellent reading and we hope may
survive the change. We see no
reason why a paper of it's class
should not thrive among our paper
taking people.

About time to be Furnishing
up the old jokes about the candi-

ty OF tue ilk seems almost provi-
Dental. 1t is well known that there
are myriads of grasshoppers in our
woods and fields, which threaten
to seriously injure the growing
crops this spring and summer. The
candidates are numerous enough to
beat over almost every foot of land
in the county and if they get to
work early they may destroy many
millions of the pests. Now let us
offer the offices to the men who will
bring in the most grasshopper

We would Call the attention of
all our readers to the articles we
arc constantly publishing on the
subject of tobacco culture We
have no practical knowledge of the
subject, but having possessed our
selves of all obtainable information
on on it, and having given some
study to the adaptability of our own
section to its culture, we are led to
believe that East Tennessee will
yet take the lead in the production
of tobacco, and If we can hasten the
day by the limited means in our
power we shall certainly exert our
selves to the utmost to do so. That
it's culture on a large or general
scale is profitable there is no ques.
ton, while our enterprising farmers
are fast demonstrating our ability
to raise NIL qualities. In selecting
articles on this subject for publica-
ton we exercise every care that
they shall be from reliable sources.
