CIarksViNe Tobacco Market,
OFFICE OF THE CHRONICLE,

Our receipts are steadily increasing in a
small way, and are composed entirely of the
new crop. Our offerings this week were 81
hogsheads. The order was good generally
but the quality rather poor. One fine hogs
head offered, which was pushed up to SIC 70.
Prices, however, were without material
change. There seems to be more movement
in the loose tobacco market at perhaps about
form or nrices We ouota.

The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1877-07-11

To the Editor Of the MorRastown 6aEstte
Does Miss Eva Williams intend her
article as sweeping criticism against
modern systems of education and men
in general, or is it wall that comes up
from the heart of SO many hundreds OF
women in this country who long for a
broader field of useful laborY
have been In deep sympathy with all
the young women who have a compare
lively liberal education, and are desir-
Gus of active work that will elevate and
ennoble their fellow-beings; but do
believe that all who win earnestly and
peFglstently labor can find much to do.
Two things are, nevertheless, nscas-
sary. ALI real workers must not sOatt for
OCCASIONS to do something great, but
must be content to labor, it may be q

sphere.

JUSTICE At LAST.

In the last number of Harper's
Weekly is an editorial headed Two
Sides of the Question" from which
we draw much comfort. It may ap-
pear strange to some Of our readers,
who know how bitter toward the
South some Of the editorials of that
paper. during the past few years, have
been, that we would draw comfort
from anything ema mating from that
quarter; but it should be remem-
bered that q great many editors have
not been bitter from hatred. but
from ignorance Of the real condition
of the South and from a fanatical
sympathy for the colored people.
The article referred to takes the
utterances of Gov. Hampton, Ben.
Hill, and such papers as the Angus
Ia Chronicle and ConstiutionaEist to
be honest, and rejecting the will Of
the masses Of the real people Of the
South.
The editor would not give heed to
the stories originating from seusa-
tional Republican correspondents,
nor would he pay any attention to
the occasional foolish illusions Of
comparatively obscure Bourbon
newspapers of the South. The tone
Of the article clearly indicates the
drift of thought in the North, and
from that drift we ought to draw
good conclusions. The South is
acting nobly. The North, outside of
political rings, is coming to the
point that will finally result in jus
tice to the Southern people. Let US.
then, be willing to do justice to them.

Winter Oats VS.. Spring Oats

BEAN STATION, July 2, 1877.
To the Editor Of the Morr3stown Gazette:
The loss that our East Tennessee
farmers must sustain the present year on
spring oats is exceedingly great The
crop is almost total failure, in fact we
haven't had a good spring oat crop for
some years, and owing to the irregular
ity of our seasons for the past few years,
Judging the future by the past), it would
be well enough for our farmers to en-
tirely do away with spring oats and Gull
tivate the winter oats.
Unfortunately farmers generally in
East Tennessee, have made but little
progress in the way of getting out of the
old ruts-still running their lands in
corn, wheat and spring oats--With but
little grass and great many stock, and
the result is that We have to substitute
oats for grass and hay to great extent.
A great many farmers in our county will
actually lose from fifty to seventy-five
dollars on the spring sown oats, to say
nothing of tax and interest on land. /
do not know of hut one good oat crop
in our section of country, and they are
being grown by a new conner, who
moved into our county last fall, bring
ing with him thirty bushels OF winter
oats. He says ne sowed them in October,
should have been sown last of August
or first to middle of September. Not
withdrawing the late sowing, dry fall,
hard winter and drought this spring, his
oats are fine, averaging at least four feet
in hight, and are now nearly ripe, July
2nd.)
1t is quite reasonable to any philosO-
phical mind or to any experimental
farmer that the length of time In which
fall soWn oats have to mature-gives
them much better chance to escape in
jury by rust, drought, etc., from the
fact that they have more time to gather
from the soil and atmosphere, inOrganise
matter that is essential to healthy and
vigorous growth, which the spring sown
oats cannot have without incessant
showers of rain. I must simmer down,
Mr.. Editor, for fear you might conclude
that you get too many long wheat, Data
and corn (s) talks.
Respectfully,
CIOD HOPPER

THE CAIN HOUSE.

Brother Charlton, of the Tribune.
ran up to see as a few days since.
He has SO long lived in city he
has become cosmopolitan in taste
and judgment. So far as words can
convey ideas. he does our prince Of
hotel-keepers justice still, one must
come, see, eat, and enjoy before he
can fully take in what constitutes q
first-class hotel. Hear what Charl-
ton says:
MORRIsTOWE.-We spent few hours
very pleasantly at Morristown on the
29th ult., and was glad to note its con
tinued improvement, notwithstanding
the hard times. We were particularly
struck with the marked Improvement of
the Cain House, formerly Turley House
Since our last visit to the place, a pur-
chase was made of it by that prince of
clever gentlemen, Mr.. Thomas Cain,
who has completely renovated il from
top TO bottom, giving il fresh coat of
paint, papering the roomS putting down
new carpets, filling it with nice furni-
ture--in word, making it one of the
cleanest and neatest hotels between
Bristol and Chattanooga. In addition
10 this, he has enclosed the premises
with neat palings, planted shade trees
and covered the front yard with a luxu-
RANT growth of blue grass This is a
most striking improvement, as all will
remember who knew anything of the
condition of the yard before IL was
made Mr.. Cain has displayed in this
the highest taste, and has shown his re-
gard for the taste, as well as comfort of
his guests. No man Is better fitted for
the hotel business than he. Nature has
made him a landlord. He is polite,
affable, genial and accommodating, and
is unceasing in his attentions to his
guests. He knows, too, just how to ca
ter 20 their appetites, as his well filed
table will show. And by the way, his
house is crowded every night, and he is
forced to turn off, now and then, his
customers, much to his regret. Long
may he prosper.

The soap manufactured by the Knox
vile Soap Company has been used in
our family sufficiently long to justify us
in commencing it as superior product
for laundry and domestic purposes. The
enterprise deserves, and we hope will
receive. the patronage of our merchants
and people generally. Home enterprise
should be fostered and encouraged by
all OF US, especially in the manufacture
of the necessities of life. Thousands of
dollars go out of East Tennessee annu-
ally for articles that could and ought to
be produced in our midst. The Knox
viii Soap Company is competent to sup
ply a large demand, and we trust its pro-
prietors will AOt be disappointed in their
expectations.

John Bigelow, Secretary of State of
New York, refused to attend banquet
given at Albany in honor of Secretary
Evarts, on the ground that he was not
disposed to recognize any person con-
nected with the Administration of Pres

stance, his son, John Bigelow, Jr., has
just graduated at West Point, and
assigned to Second Lieutenancy in the
Tenth Regiment of Cavalry, negro
regiment stationed on the Rio Grande,
to which Lient. Flipper, the colored
West Point cadet, is also assigned.
