For the Citizen.
East Tennessee Letter.

l send Post Office order and yor
will please send the CITIZEN to me
at Union Depot, Sullivan CO.. Tenn
Union Depot is a small town or
the E. T. V. d G. R. r., clever
miles west of Bristol and near the
centre of Sullivan county, and
some efforts are being made tc
have the Court House in this place
as Blountville is seven miles from
the railroad. The lands of Sullivan
are productive, growing corn and
wheat TO perfection and, some to-
bacco has been grown in the last
few years, and its culture Is increas-
ing. The prices for the tobacco
grown here do not range with other
localities, owing, some say, to i'm
proper handling, while others at
tribute it to the soil. Stock raising
is said to De the most profitable
business, and quite number OF
cattle are bought up by Virgin
ians and driven to that State for
pasturage. The grass is said to be
very fine among the mountains and
the raising of sheep could be made
to pay a handsome profit. The
wheat crop was very promising
until the last few days. The rust
has taken many fields and great
fears are lelt and many believe there
will be a decided failure; as yet it
is confined to the blades but as it
has come so early farmers are dis
couraged. There is but little ex-
citement about politics. The coun-
ty convention met last Monday and
appointed delegates TO the district
convention. The vote l am told is
close in this judicial district and
several aspirants in each party.
This county is democratic by large
majority, and is called little South
Carolina by the opposite party.
The people are divided in regard to
the settlement of the State debt.
Some few are in favor of repudia-
ton, others for 80 or 40 cents and
l believe the majority are in favor
of an honorable adjustment upon
the terms offered by the creditors,
so that the honor of the State may
be vindicated and her credit saved.
l believe it is generally understood
that East Tennessee is entitled to the
but in case no agreement
or choice can be made for this sec
ton, believe they would support
good man from some other portion
of the State. Low taxes would be
acceptable, but l do not believe the
good people of East Tennessee
could be misled TO throw away their
votes upon a dlsorganizer. Many
say that plans and promises only
answer for campaign land
after election there is no material
change, that Office is sought after
for gain and popularity, and the
general interest of the people neg
Iected. 1 am gratified to see the
name of Judge L. M. Jones placed
for the supreme Judgeship.
There is no man in Tennessee who
would preside with more dignity
and honesty of purpose, and as to
qualifications they are well known
throughout the State. j. H. E.

ers if they could find employment,
but these grow desperate at the
sight OF their balf-starved families.
If. an idle head is the DEVILS work
shop, an empty stomach is a regu-
lar storehouse for treason. If Con-
gress would rise to the supreme de
mands of the hour, and supply lsnd
or labor to the discontinued multi
tudes, nine-tenths of them would
greedily seize the chance, and the
idle demagogues who seek to up
turn and overtnrn our whole social
system, in order to feast upon the
plumber of a resolution, would sink
out of sight and outof mind. This
would be cheaper than volleys of
grape shot. j. l.. L.

It will not be long before the
city people will be seeking summer
resorts. 1t is well known that Pu-
laski is the healthiest place in the
State and that it enjoys a wide rep
utation for the hospitality and cul-
tivation of its people. Hitherto it
has been deficient in hotel accom-
modations, and pleasure seekers
have been forced to pass us by.
Now the thing is different. We
have two new hotels second to none
in their appointments and accom-
modations, and pleasure seekers
will find here all the facilities for
real enjoyment during the summer,
and at the same time secure the in
estimable boon of health.

THE WHISTLER.

Frogs have their time to eroak and owls to
boot,
The patient futist hath his time to toot;
The fiddler fddieth when his work is done,
But thou, o bore, hast no set time-ah, none,
To whistle.
We know when Bangs viii play his horn Of
brass,
And Dingleby his lageolet, alas;
We know when comes the dulcet fish horns
But, hang it, thou hast all times for thine
own,
o whistlerl
When old pianos have worn out an air,
And voices crude have worn it very bare,
Thy puckered mouth doth still emit the
strain,
But-all our prayers that thou shouldst cease
are vain,
o whistler
Long after honest folks have gone to bed,
W carried with toiling for their daily bread,
Then thou, o lazy ,long-eared, midnight bird,
Mid many impreeations still art heard
" histling.
l call theebird-one of the shrill-voiced sort,
For tits quite plain that music is not thy
forte,
Thou shouldst be feathered as the vultures
are
You get the feathers, I'll produce the tar,
o whistler.
