GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 81, rs.
MessrS. Wdter McC0Dab & Co.,
CgarksUiELe, Tenn. Gentlemen: Last
spring we recommended the use of
the "Anchor Brandt 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
tilizer would be a great benefit to
our planting community, and there
fore called 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 a 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 gratifed 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 oar planters VIII 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 a vigorous growth, and
partly perhaps from its odor, driving
the fly from the bed. The bulk Of
the tobacco crop OF 1874 was lost fol
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 toyoq on their quail
ity when they appear upon oul
market. We are,
Yours truly,
MH. CLARK & BRO.

1t must not be forgotten that the Teachers
Association holds its meeting here on the
25th and Goth inst. Prof Brooks has the
management of the programme, which, we
presume, will be soon announced, and we
learn that he is already in correspondence
with the following gentlemen! Mr., Leon
Trousdale and Prof Caldwell, the State Su-
perintendent and City Superintendent OF
Nashville and with Superintendent Carney
of this county, who will probably be
present. Superintendent Carney is also
requested to make such arrangements as
that the teachers throughout the country
can attend. It is not, we trust, necessary
for us to urge the importance of these meet
ings, as the whole community is now salts
fed of the paramount importance of our
public school system, and every one inter
ested In its success.

Col. BAILEY has been making 9
learned argument in the Senate
against the admission of Mr.. Bell,
of New Hampshire, to seat in the
Senate. 1t is worthy of notice that
now for the first time since the war
has a question of this sort been
argued purely as q question of law.
Mr.. Bell is Republican neverthe-
less Messrs. Bayard and Thurman
argued in favor of his admission,
and Mr.. Carpenter against it. While
the Republican party bore sway in
the Senate, elections were always
decided by a strict party vote.

CHRONIC AILMENTS.
gae proper treatment of chronic cases of disease
requires thorough knowledge of physiology and
pathology. Such knowledge is not attained by
study alone but by years of experience. We have
in this city physician who has, during the last
four or five years, made many remarkable cures
and those treated say that for all forms of chronic
disease no doctor in Baltimore is more competent
and universally successful than DIR. UNDER
WOOD, of No. 1BG w. Fayette street. He cures
cancers without the use of the knife, and removes
tumors by electriolyss. His electrical instruments
are of the latest improvements, in fact one he has
had manufactured with some improvements ac-
cordng to his own device. The doctor is a physi-
clan and a gentleman, and any one calling on him
can depend on his Judgment and skll.-Ff0m Sat

began work. IL struck him that he'd better put

Mrs. Bowerman has been at IL just seven days

looked down upon her IN awful contempt. "rye
