A trip through the lower end of
old Hamblen last Sunday convinced us
of the fact that it is one of the richest
grain-growing districts, not only of
this county, but Of East Tennessee. We
saw wheat that would measure fully
four feet, part of which was nearly ma
tured. Corn, though needing rain very
badly, is looking fine, and there will
doubtless be one of the largest crops
yielded for years. The Farmers are all
jubilant over the European war and the
good time coming, and so are we.

To School Teachers.
RUssELLvILLE, May, q, 1877.
To the Editor of the Aforristown Gazette
I wish through the columns of the
GAZETTE, to notify the teachers of
HambIen county that the first Institute
for the year will be held at Morristown
on Friday and Saturday, 18th and 10th
June. All persons who intend teaching
in the public schools of the county are
expected to attend. 1t is impossible to
make a success of these Institutes I'M
less teachers feel sufficient interest to
attend and engage with a will in the
work. Let every teacher in the county
come, and come with the determination
to do his part toward making the In
stitute success. No one has the power
under the law to compel the attendance
of teachers, but every possible prefer
ence will be shown those who do attend
and strive to improve themselves. We
desire teachers of private schools to at
tend and lend US helping hand. Friends
of education generally are invited.
