adopted, to-wit:
Whereas, The democratic party of
the state OF Tennessee is unfortunately
divided upon the mode of settlement
of the state debt; and,
Whereas, We believe if the party
remains divided until the election in
November it will assure the success of
the republican party, and that the
republican, party is not in sympathy
with the people of Tennessee, and
would not iegislate for their interest
were they in power and,,,
Whereas, We believe all good dem.
ocrats are in favor Ct an honest and
Just settlement of the state debt
Therefore, be it
Resolved, l. That we, tie farmers
Of Shelby county, deplore the division
in the democratic party, and earnestly
and cordially invite the cooperation
of all men in preventing the threat
ened disaster.

the people.
Resolved, B. That we cordially in
vie the farmers and all good men in
each and every county in the state to

resolutions similar to the above.
Resolved. 4. That so soon as suf-
fieient number ofcounties throughout
the state shall have held meetings
enough to enable the committees tc

of the majority, that the two demo
cratic state executive committees be
respectfully requested to meet in joint
session and withdraw one Of the can
didates for governor, after pledgint
the other to obey the instructions o.
the people. :,
Resolved, 5. That we respectfully
ask a fair proportion of farmers as
representatives in the next legisla

tions, to unite with us in the choiel

I. s 4 ri fSr j
rail-, H tRgrg s'f is M ifficulty in making
them live, but this may be done, even
in dry weather bNa little care. Make
holes in the rows with a dibble, about
tour inches deep, pQlir gill Of water
in the holes and insert the slip, press
ing the earth firmly around about it,
and covering the surface with dry
earth. Nine out Of ten will live.
Do not water them afterwards.
But before planting, the soil must
be well prepared. This is done by
breaking up the ground deeply and
thoroughly; lay off the rows three
and a halt feet, open the furrow well
and in this strew stable manure mixed
with acid phosphate at the rate OF
800 pounds to the acre-and then
make the bed with turn plow.
Prepare the beds Immediately before
planting-and then plant the slips
eighteen inches in the drill as above
directed. The first working is given
with the turn pillow, running two fur
rows to the row, the bed next TO
the vines, followed with the hoe for
the purpose OF cleaning the vines
carefully Of all young grass. AT the
next working, lay all the vines care
fully on the row so as to avoid cover
ing the ends with the plow; then run
two round shovel burrows to the
row, and toilow with the hoes,
drawing the earth up to the vines.
Never mind re-adjusting the vines.
They Will soon begin to run, and IN
about three weeks will have pretty
well stretched across the rows. Give
them one more working, taking care,
as before, not to cover the ends OF
The vines, and this time avoid break
ing the bed, the only object OF this
working being 10 scrape the surface
After this working place the vines as
evenly er.the ground as possible
and In little while they will have
SO completely covered the rows That
the grass cannot grow. This COM
pletes the operation.
Perhaps l may have something 10
say, hereafter, about digging ana
saving the crop.
