"A little stroll along the outer
edge of town last Sunday surprised
us with the evidences of growth.
The rdvages of winter have fearful
ly demoralized appearances, but
growth is to be seen everywhere.
The new NJ. L. Church of the color
ed people adds greatly to that por-
ton of the town in which il is loca-
ted, while below the old Farms
worth mill there seems to be a new
village springing up.
We direct attention to the
advertisement of Mrs. Warfeld's
novels appearing on this page. The
fact that these novels are the pro-
duction of a Southern lady's pen
should recommend them to our
people. Her writings are of the
most fascinating kind and those
who appreciate fiction should OBJ
tain them.
We learn that a large amount
of bad butter has of late been sold
to the merchants of the county -
They complain that it is owe
weighted with salt, rendering the
butter unfit for use. Much Of this
butter is sent off without the adul-
teration being detected, and the re-
suit is that East Tennessee butter
is rapidly growing into disfavor
with the consumers and fthe thing
is not stopped forthwith there will
soon be no market whatever for
Greene county butter, as the com
mission merchants South will make
it a rule to refuse all consignments
from this county. East Tennessee
butter has heretofore enjoyed high
favor, and it has consequently be-
come a source Of considerable reve-
nue. to our people. But this salt
trick promises to cut it off totally.
Stop it %stop--stop it right now.
