EnIToRs CHRONICLEs Having
come to your city a stranger on bus
iness, / do not feel like leaving it
without expressing MY favorable
opinion of its people and its advan-
tages in general. I am gratified to
see the flourishing condition Of its
business and the cheerful appear
ance of the citizens. ClarksviHe
seems a pleasant place indeed in
which to cast ones lot.
am pleased to meet one in your
midst (although a stranger to me
personality with whose reputation
as a scholar and a Christian gentle
man / have long been familiar. !
heartily congratulate the good peo-
pie of GAINESVILLE on having him in
their midst; he is truly public
servant and benefactor. I speak of
Prof. r. A. Broadhurst, of Broad
hurst Institute. His name is a
household word in Kentucky, where
he taught many years. The people
of that far-famed State give him
such praise as is accorded to but
few. He is a man devoted to his
profession and singularly successful
in the discharge of its varied duties.
His pupils have taught all over
Kentucky and are noted for Their
ability and success both in teaching
and governing. His many friends
will gladly welcome him back t
his old home whenever he chooses
to come. Yours respectfully,
VERITAs.

z GAINESVILLE Tenn, Dec. 81, '78.
Messrs. Walter McC0n6 & Co.,
CarkseilLe, Tenn. Gentlemen: Last
spring we recommended the use of
the "Anchor Brand" fertilizer in
the cultivation of the tobacco crop.
We had never before recommend
ed the use of any article for sale,
and were only induced to depart
from our custom by the con-
viction that the free use of this fer
tiIizer would be a great benefit to
our planting community, and there
fore CALEB their attention to it. we
knew some of the members COM
posing the Company which pre-
pares this fertilizer, and we knew
them to- be gentlemen of high in
tegrity, who had sought with much
energy and perseverance to produce
an article which would fill much
needed want in the tobacco growing
sections, and perfecting it, would
keep their brand up to the standard
of merit. We also examined care
fully the reports of prominent Vir-
ginia and North Carolina planters
who had used it, and the reports of
the members of the Virginia tobac-
co trade, who gave their judgement
upon the grade of tobacco made
with its use, and we then gave the
"Anchor Brand" our hearty recon-
mendation, which it well deserved.
We have been much gratified at
the universal good reports received
from its use in our section this past
season. 1t certainly increases the
yield per acre, and enables a good
crop to be raised on even poor land,
and our planters will no doubt find
itan invaluable aid in raising plants,
as it seems to afford full protection
to the beds from the fly, partly by
producing vigorous growth, and
partly perhaps from its odor, driving
the fly from the bed. The bulk of
the tobacco crop of 1874 was lost for
want of plants, which might have
been saved by the use of such aids.
We have not yet seen the crops
raised with the Anchor Brand"
but will report to you on their quail
ftty when they appear upon our
market. We are,
Yours trIliV

The YirainiaDebt.

In letter to State Senator G. T.
Smith, referring to the bill for the
payment of the Virginia debt,
Messrs. r. III. Maury & Co., bank
ers, of Richmond, say: "That the
bondholders will come in and accept
the bill we do not at all doubt. In
deed, we have the very best proof
for so saying, as up to this time we
know not a single bondholder who
says he viii not accept, whilst, on
the other hand, we have letters
daily from correspondents and
friends saying that they will accept,
and asking when to send in their
bonds for exchange, and so forth,
and they all express the hope that
this readiustment is a finally. So
do we, most Feligiously, In our
humble Judgment, nothing could be
more hurtful to the material inter-
ests of our State and people than
the farther harping upon and the
discussion on the hastings of the
State debt, by which in the past we
believe more, very much more, has
been lost to the State and the people
than would have paid the interest
on the present debt"

A MAINE farmer says Were !
to plant an orchard and had two
locations, one III , valley surround
ed by hills except on thesouth side,
and the other high elevation ex-
posed to winds, I would choose the
latter in preference to the former.
The same holds good as regards
peach orchards. A great object is
to keep back the blooming as long
as possible, and this can best be
done in northern exposures without
shelter.n

A Political Fraud.

The editor of the Oklahoma, Miss,
States, who is apparently engaged
in an effort to raise the Confederate
flag anew, is a Yankee from the
Western Reserve of Ohio. He has
been in the South only about two
years, and as his ultra, silly outcries
against the North do not reflect the
sentiments of any portion of the
Southern people il is quite apparent
that he went to Mississippi for the
purpose of giving the Republican
papers something to howl about.
Every issue of his paper affords
them q pretext to raise the cry of
"reb-bils" to their hearts content.

H. Baldwin, of Monroe City,
Ind, writes under date of Dec. Sd,
1877, that his wife used DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription with wonder
full results, 1t effected her entire
cure, after several physicians had
failed, The many similar letters
positively affirming that the Favor
tie Prescription had cured the dis
ease and weakness peculiar to WOO
men, induced DIR. Pierce to sell it
under a guarantee. Ladies need no
longer submit to useless and painful
local treatment, as the FavOrite
Prescription Is safe, sure, and
speedy cure. Hundreds who had
been bed-ridden for years have been
restored to perfect health by its use.

Last night, about 8 O'Clock, when
the air was exceedingly damp on ac-
count of the rain which fell during the
day, a certain saloon keeper ON Six
tenth street built a brisk fire for the
especial benefit Of his patrons. In less
than a half hour afterwards, Cherokee
Bob meandered into the room and bore
upon his c~ountenance the most detected
expression ever seen upon the phiz of
mortal man. He looked as though
every relative, friend and acquaintance
he had in the world had just been car
ried to the tomb. Cherokee looked
wistfully at a row of seven tumblers,
each half full and sitting upon the
counter, while the gentlemen to whom
the drinks belonged were INDUCING in
a chat before drinking. He gazed
around sadly, and as he held a powder
can in his hand, remarked in a plaintive
tone:
Gentlemen, / went into u store this
morning and told the proprietor as this
was Decoration Day 1 would like to
decorate the inner man with a mules
ear full of red-eye, or a square meal.
He handed me this can of powder, and
told me to set 1t on fire and blow my
self up. Gentlemen said Cherokee
mournfully IS he approached the stove
and opened the door, 81 feel so badly
because the procession didn't move and
the orators didn't crate to-day, that
life to me is Il burthen. Besides that,
Pm out of funds and need a drink. l
can't get it. I prefer to die right here
and let Frank Hunter, plant me on the
bank of the classic Crow creek, where
the waters will roll past me forever and
aye. Gentlemen, shall / toss this can
of combustion into the fiery element
and end all Dur woes-yours as well as
mine?'
"Yesl yes.'' shouted several who
had no idea he would do as threatened.
In went the can, and ont went the
crowd pell-mell into the street. The
affrighted men ran half way TO Kabis'
lake without stopping. They heard nc
explosion and ventured back to. the sa,
loon. There sat Cherokee astride the
counter. The EVE glasses wer,
empty, and when he said, Boys Idon,

feel?'' light seemed to break in npor
