Ancient Newspapers.

At tie coming Centennial Newspa-
per Exhibition at Philadelphia it has
been decided to display copies of an
tique journals and other curiosities of
newspaper literature. To this interest
ing collection all persons havinganclent
quaint, or curious specimens are invi>
ted to contribute; and should the res
ponse be as hea:ty and general as we
hope to find it, this gathering of time
womspublications will prove to be not
only leading trait of the Newspaper
Department, but also one of the sal
lent attractions of the Exhibition as a
whole. All having the ability and the
will to aid on the project should trans
nit their consignments without delay
to the Pavilion of the Centennial
Newspaper Exhibition, Paramount
Park, Philadelphia, addressed to the
care Of Mr. Geo 7. Rowe.l, who has
IilG nldttCi III C'tSuRC.
While on view, these exhibits will
have attached to them labels designa-
ting by whom they are contributed,
and all consistent care will be taken
to preserve them from damage. After
the close of the Exhibition they will
be again at the service OF their owns
cts, or, in the absence of different in
strucIions, will be transferred to some
historical society or museum.
During the late war there were ma
ny newspapers issued which illustrated
the straits in which their publishers
found themselves. Pink, blue, and
yellow sheets, wrapping paper, and
many other substitutes were pressed
into service. Specimens Of these now
possess a curious interest.
The advantages to the public Of such
a gathering are manifest TO a degree
which renders elucidation unnecessary,
and the opportunity to do very use>
full act is placed within easy reach. A
single copy of some senile brvadsheet
may not be of much worth to its pro
prietor, vet in conjunction with Others
it will make up a worthy collection.
Many people there are who, having
preserve such curiosities for years,
can turn them to little Or no practical
account, and it is not too much to hope
that the response given by such will
be ready and general. Without loss
to themselves, they can materially
benefit visitors to the Great Centenni-
al Exhibition and appreciabiyadvance
patriotic movement.

In illustrating the advantages Of a
proper cultivation of the soil, Maj.
Sykes related Il conversation he heard
not long since between Mr. Cecil, a
model farmer, who moved from Ken
lucky to Maury county about thirty
years ago, and the late l.. ID. Myers,
Of Columbia, himself full of energy,
enterprise and public spirit, whose
death will be a great loss to Maury
county. Mr. Myers asked Mr. Cecil
ifhis land produced as much as it did
when he purchased it MIR Cecil re-
piled that it now produced OH an az
erage twice as much per acre as it
then did, and the cause was, he had
ploughed deeply, >owed clover freely,
and had used without stint the fertil-
izers gathered from his lots and sta
bles. What has been done by Mr.
Cecil can be done by any farmer in
West Tennessee.

The wealth Of the Candidates

On the Democratic side, if the nom.
nation be OF one-of the five principal
candidates, a poor man will not be
taken. IiIden is probably the veal,
thiest of the FIVE. He is put down at
100000 or $4,000, 900. Judge
Davis is the possessor Of more than
81 LOCO, 600 and Thurman is very rich.
Bayard is well-to-do, although not a
millionaire. Hancock has some prop
erty it is said. OF the Republicans
who are prominent candidates, Morton
Is said to be the poorest and Blaine is
undoubtedly the richest Of all. Conk-
ling is possessed of something over
100000, partof which he, like Blaine,
has made in railroad speculations. He
is also largely paid by several wealthy
corporations. Bristow and Hayes are
both "well OFT" The former has prob
ably 100000, and his wife has receiv-
ed a legacy of $3.50, 900 within year.
Hayes is richer than Bristow. 1t is
doubtful whether Mr. Wheeler, of
New York, is much richer than Nor
ton,
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1876-05-11

To show the necessity Of immigra-
ton to West Tennessee, Maj. Sykes
gave some striking facts. 1t appears
from the Comptroller's report Of 1873
that there are in West Tennessee g.
CSC, 100 acres Of land. There are in
West Tennessee s., 400 voters. Ifeach
of these cultivates ten acres of land
a liberal estimate-the amount in cul-
tiyation would be so, 600 acres; this
taken from the whole number of acres
would leave 1882, 400 acres not pre-
tended TO be cultivated. Suppose we
could double the number of laborers,
and put in cultivation 1,7O6,0 600
acres; this would still leave 1873, 400
not in cultivation. What would be
the result of this increase of lab0rers
or small farmers? Our productions
would be doubled and our wealth
would be more than doubled, As
population becomesmore dense, school
and church advantages increase, the
lands are better cultivated and the
country becomes generally more pros
porous, and what is now thought by
many to be an oppressive public debt
would become comparatively light,
because We would have more people,
more wealth and more means of pay
ment. To this We should direct our
attention ard bend our energies, for
nothing can be done without effort
determined, persistent effort.
