At public meeting ia Athens,

resolutions were adopted:
Resolved by the people of McMinn
county 10 Convention assembled /;
that
Whereas, The greatest benefits
would result from the building of this
hne of road from Marietta, Ga, by
Ducktown in the direction of Gin
cinnati iatersecting the E. 7, Va.
& Ga, railroad, at or near Athens,
Tenn, and terminating at or near
Sulphur Spriogs by intersecting the
Cincinnati Southern; and,
Whereas, Its construction is both
practicable and feasible, being not
only of direct benefit to the counties
of Gilmer and Fannin, OF Georgia,
and Polk, McMlnn, Meigs, Rhea and
Rnane of Tennessee, but also a good
Investment to Stockholders and,
Whereas, The right of way has
already been granted to such line
through said counties in Tennessee /;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the said counties
severaIly be requested to meet in
Convention at their respective seals
and appoint ten delegates from each
county TO convene in general con
veniion at Athens on the first Mon
day of May ensuing, and that these
delegates be authorised and instruct

pRoTIT 1N LITTLE THrNas.

Southern planters have thought
that no crop but cotton could be
turned into money. They have,
heretofore, paid no attention to the
minor products eggs, butter, honey,
chickens, hides, tallow, etc, and
even wheat, barley, oats, and othe,
crops of similar Importance have
been NEGLECTED. The last session
has somewhat changed this opinion
in q majority of theJ farmers In
Arkansas county the Patrons made
an arrangement last spring with a
certain merchant, to take in payment
for merchandise anything marketa-
bic that the farmers might bring
Money was scarce and another crop
was uncertain, while many little ar
ticlss, of the nature above stated,
were either wasted or unnecessarily
consumed, that in large cities 20
which there was ready access, would
find an eager sale. The result Of
this arrangement was, that in the
first six or seven months of the year
1875 there had been shipped and
sold from the county $4,000 worth
Of products not before deemed worthy
IF sale. But for this happy fore
thought of the Patrons, many farm,
ers oond not have sustained them,
selves through spring they would
have had nothing to live on while
they made a crop the merchants be
ing unable TO credit them, and they
having no money to pay for what
they needed. This should teach a
lesson to all who neglect the seeming
trihes Of farm Everything should
be utilized. Merchants should buy
every product of the farm, whether
there is money in it or not; the goods
they generally give 10 exchange will
pay profit enough. Thus will his
sales be increased and the country
become more prosperous.

The base covered eleven acres. -
The stones are about sixty feet in

SOME time ago, says the Norris
town. pa J Herald Jacob Kiinck,
farmer near Fox Chase, was saws
ing down a large chestnut tree, when
the teeth Of the saw came IN contact
with some metallic substance. Fear
ing something explosive, he directed
the workmen to saw on the other
side Of the tree. They did So
After the tree had been feIled a gold
watch, two gold pencil cases and
gold chain were found imbedded in
the wood, eighteen inches from the
surface, They were wrapped in
soiled sock, the tree was sawed off
very close to the ground, and they
had evidently BEEN hidden at the
junction of two roots, and the wood
had grown over and inclosed them.
The watch was old fashioned, having
case which could be detached, aud
was inscribed with the date l740.-
One Of the pencil cases was provided
with pen. The other had only a
pencil, and was intended to pass
around the neck Of the wearer-
There was also gold watch-key,
which, however, did not fl: the

great age, being about six feet in
diameter An old mansion once
stood near by, and it is supposed
thai the articles in question were

FALLACIOUs AND TRUE REASON.
ING

When viewed in a practical light,
any one can see that the sum of fifty
dollars a year is small outlay to
give tone and vitality to business
of ten thousand. Go where we will,
it will always be seen that these busi-
ness men Of town, who having a
good newspaper in their midst, pat
rouizing the same steadily and liber-
ally, willimprove their trade steadily
and place it on sound footing. If
times are hard, trade will drop off
some of course, but then, the same
ratio over neighboring towns will be
maintained, gradually but surely will
flow TO that town that, all things be
ing equal, advertises the best, and
what is very important, the SfeddteSt,
Some merchants have an idea that
steady advertising is no account;
that the effect is better if it is done
of a sudden, uncertain manner, rush
ing out with a great light to day and
then leaving the people in utter dark
ness to morrow. This view is ops
posed to the experience of every
noted advertiser All the men Of eX-
perience agree that the effect is
gained only by steady and persis~
tent effort. In the sharp rivalries
and competitions between different
towns but few realize how important
an adjunct to the prosperity of trade
is good newspaper and its adj
vertieius pages. - y aakesha wis. }

SWINDLING, &C.

All men, says the New York SnR,
ought to have found ont by this time
that it is never safe, either for a pub
lie functionary or private individual,
to do wrong. It is never safe to in
duIge in swindling, cheating or bride
taking 1t is never safe to practice
corruption, sny kind or degree of it.
1t is never sale to indulge in fase>
hood, any sort of it. 1t is never safe
to do anything which would bring
shau to the door by being revealed
One may fancy his misdeeds cant
be found out, or have been covered
up. or can be so covered or that
they can be denied or explained
away SO that people will be deceived
about them; but yet it remains true
that there can be no safety for the
wrong doer, and no security against
his exposure. Though this looks
hard to some people, it is neverthe
less in accordance with the fixed aud
irreversble moral law of things and
of being. The only safety for man,
or for woman, is in refraining from
wrong and in doing right Even in
old times. at the very beginning of
human history, it was said, "Be sure
your sins will find YOU out"
