Our Messy Creek Letter.
Messy CREEK, March 8, 7

NOISY CREEK, March 8, ~.
Mr.. EDITOR: Thinking tina
many of your readers are Away
pleased to read a letter from our lit
tie village, 1 will offer you a shor
communication.
The farmers around town have
been improving their time during
this beautiful weather. They an
ticipate a rich harvest, if We are
to judge of their expectations by
their work.
Mr.. McCanless has moved his
fence so as to keep the boys of the
College in the right path. Accord
ing to the compromise between Mr..
Branner and the Trustees of the
College, the former gave a road of
ten feet through the center of his
field, but as the old way is a little
nearer, it was somewhat difficult to
turn them into the new path. With
the disadvantage Of climbing two or
three ten-rail fences, it is thought
that no one will persist in keeping
the old trail warm.
1t was our pleasure to visit the
hall of the Columbian Society last
night. AS it was the time of their
annual election for public speakers,
etc., their little hail was crowded,
and the windows were very useful in
seating a portion of the mem
bers. The election resulted in the
election of H. NJ. Madden,
of Knox; G. Nc. Henderson, Of
Sewer, and W. L. VinSon, of Cooke
county, as first, second and third
speakers, respectively. E. Z. De-
vault was elected as representative,
and r. L. Watkins and A. Nc
Gown, marshals. Ill. M. Madden,
G. Nc. Henderson and w. L. Vim
son, who had been appointed as a
committee to confer with the Trus-
tees and Faculty of the College in
regard to more commodious hall,
that the Society could oc-
cupy the College parlor as its hall
in the future, provided the Society
would carpet it, furnish it with fur
niture suitable to such a hall, and
build up their library. The Society
passed an unanimous vote Of thanks
to the committee for their effective
labor, and the Columbian heart was
made to rejoice at the future pros
poets Of the Society. The Column
bans will solicit subscriptions from
the friends and patrons of the in
stituti0n to enable them to meet
the contract. Let every one who
wishes them success, and wishes to
build up good library for the de-
go to work and help |
them.
The prospects of the college are
looking up every day, and this will |
only be one of the auxIlieries that
will help to dispel ignorance and
lnloyalty from our country, and
make us happy and prosperous
people. We know that the denom-
nation will respond with usual liz
erality. How many will send them
rom one to five dollars? Send
your donations to H. NJ. Madden,
Chairman of Committee on Ways

SuDscrib ior 6 Good, Reliable News
paper.

WEEKLY WHIG AND CHRONICLE
will be kept up during the yea
1879 to their usual high standard
By enterprise, accurateness, anC
close attention to the wants of oul
readers, we hope to merit a contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION Of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years We have battled for Re-
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our Geographic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number Of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub-
ican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
Of the DAILY CHRONICLE and |
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, We have decided |
to reduce the price Of the WEEKLQ |
WHIG AND CHRONICLE to suit the
lines. In the future we will send |
our weekly paper to subscribers on
he following.

The MYSTERIOUS Mourner.

Not long since there died in this city
a young man whose future seemed very
bright and full of promise. He was
known to and esteemed by a large circle
of friends, and his untimely death was
widely mourned. At the funeral were
assembled representatives from many of
Boston's best known families, and the
services were conducted by a pastor
whose name has been a household word
in this city for years. The last prayer
had been said, and the more immediate
relatives had been led from the room,
when those present became aware Of the
presence of one who had not been seen
until that moment-a young lady of
about 20 years, neatly yet richly dressed
and closely veiled-who approached the
casket, kissed the cold forehead, placed
a little bunch of violets in the ~lifeless
hand, sobbed convulsively, and was gone.
Inquiring glances were exchanged, but
it was evident that she was unknown to
any one present. When the grave was
reached, a wreath of virlets was found
at its head, and there were those who saw
hurrying away through a secluded path
the form of her who. had so mysterious
ly appeared and disappeared at the
house. Hers was a grief so sacred and
tender that no one sought to discover her
identity, but an accident and the pecu-
liar character of her offerings revealed
it. She is the idol of her parents, a very
queen in social circles, and seems to have
everything which heart can wish. But
there are those who know the grief that
weighs upon her. And her name is
Violet.-Bos'on Transcript.

farm use. Fresh, undecomposed organic
substances, especially dung, contain the
most valuable ingredient Of plant-food,
nitrogen, in its simple form; but it is
very soon changed into ammonia, which
in turn unites at once with carbonic
acid. Then when lime is brought in
contact with the mass, it at once com.
bines with the carbonic acid, and the
valuable ammonia escapes and is lost.
When, however, the lime is applied be-
fore the amonia is formed, the nitro
gen is oxydized to nitric acid, which
unites with the lime to produce nitrate
of lime, and the nitrogen is saved.
Therefore, lime may be used in stables
and house privies, or in composing
carcases of dead animals, to advantage:
but If mixed with manure q day OF two
old, the result is a loss of valuable ma
terial. The above also shows why, when
lime is put into a compost, it has such
beneficial action in fastening decom.
position, and why it is necessary to use
plenty of fresh earth to absorb the es-
Gaping ammonia.-American Agricalt"r-
