EDITOR CHRONICLE: / see in the
Tobacco Leaf of a week or two past
an article headed elbow to grow
and cultivate White Burley tobac-
co, in which they say, in speaking of
how to SOW the beds, "Sow about
two large tablespoonful to the hum
dred square feet" Now, / am sur
prised to see such advice as this in
a paper which pretends to have such
profound knowledge upon the sub
ject of tobacco and its culture. Ev-
cry good farmer knows that this is
about ten times too much seed to
sow 'to the hundred square feet"
and that if he should SOW his beds
as directed, he would not have a
plant fit for setting. Why, sir, the
ordinary quantity of seed is about
two tablespoonful to the hundred
square yards.
] repeat, it seems to me that this
is mighty queer advice to give to
the farmers Of a county whose chief
crop is tobacco. But perhaps these
White Burley seed are as large as
peas. If so, I'll take back all I've
said. A TOBACCO PLANTER.

Meeting of the ClarksyiIIe BIbI,
Society.

Meeting of the GAINESVILLE Bible
Society.
The GAINESVILLE Bible Society met
in its regular annual session at the
Baptist church last Sunday night.
The night was rainy and disagree
able, and the attendance was not so
large as it would otherwise have
been. The Hon. ID. n. Kennedy,
president, presided. Owing to the
absence of Mr.. r. f. McCulloch,
who could not be present, the min
utes of the last meeting were not
read, bat Mr.. Kennedy stated the
substance of what was done. The
reports of the treasurer and depos-
itary were then read, giving a full
account of the noble work of the
society for the past year, which was
very encouraging. The society is
out of debt, with a balance in the
treasury.
Mr.. w. j. Ely was, upon motion,
elected temporary secretary.
Rev. A. d. Sears was made
member of the American Bible So
ciety, being the first member of the
local society who has ever been
made member of the parent soci-
ety.
Subscriptions were taken up for
the current yearly expenses of the
society, amounting TO a good sum.
Thefollowing officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President
Hon. d. n. Kennedy. Vice-presi-
dents-Revs. j. d. Barbee, L. J.
Spencer, P. A. Fits, John r. Good
pasture, J. w. Lupton, A. D. Sears.
Seeretary-R. E. McCulloch. Treas
urer-Polk g. johnson. Deposita-
ries-Pitman d Lewis.
The same executive committee as
last year was reelected, with the
exception of Capt. Tom Smith and
Mr.. w. ]. Ely, in whose stead were
elected Messrs. Chas. Baker and
Fred. Fox.
Some very appropriate remarks
were then made by Revs. John r.
Goodpasture and I. J. Spencer, and
the society adjourned.
The next meeting will be held at
the Methodist church the first Sun
day night in December, 1881.

We notice some bills have been
introduced into the legislature to
repeal the fish law. We wish to
enter our protest against this UNI
wise measure. Some few whole
sale destroyers Of the ''speckIed
Beauties" who fish for profit, and
like the cook, who has no relish for
her own dishes, never feed upon
their own catch, and consequently
suffer from diininution of brain
matter, may, no doubt:do, desire an
abolition of these sensible laws;
but the right thinking and public
spirited citizens, who are in large
majority, not only earnestly desire
that the present laws upon the sub
iect may be maintained, but that
they be more general and stricter.
This is not question of different in-
terests between the poor man and
the rich angler who whites away
his leisure hours with rod and line,
but is one of broader interests-of
food supply for the future. 1t is
foolish for any one to say that the
law will do no good. just let him
recur to the years Immediately sue
ceeding the war-during which,
there were no seins, nets, traps,
gigs, bows and spikes in oar streams
to destroy fish by wholesale, and
then come down to the years imme-
diately proceeding the passage of
this law, when every stream aboun-
ded with these destructive traps,
and note the difference.
Immediately after the war, our
streams were alive with as fine fish
as were ever drawn from any
stream, but after the terrible rava-
ges made upon them by seins and
trappers, one might spend the en-
tire day, even with those applian-
ces, and not catch a mess. We I'M
derstand that since the enactment
of the fish law two years ago, there
has been very decided improve
ment in the growth of fish in our
county streams. It is a poor argu-
rnent to say that the law will not
and cannot be enforced. It can.
We believe there are plenty of the
devoted deciples of Seth Green in
every county in the state, to see
that it is strictly enforced.

THE CHRONICLE man has
scratched all the hair off of the top OF
his head trying to find an idea on
White Burley tobacco. If any fel-
low doubts this, just let him raise
CampbelPs hat and see. There is
not enough genuine fertilizer left in
that region to even sprout White
Burnley seed.-106acco Leaf.
1t can hardly be surprising that
the hair should fall from any fell
lows head who should be crazy
enough to endeavor to find se'ast-
Die idea on White Burley. We are
only surprised that the Hyperion
curls have not fallen from the bulg-
ing brow of brother Riley in this
vain hunt.

THE members of the Christian
church at Washington, of which
the incoming administration is a
communicate, and where heS has
always attended church during his
residence at the capital, when en-
gagged in his official duties, have
issued a circular letter to its fellow
churches throughout the country
asking subscriptions to help build a
new church. 1t takes a very large
building to accommodate the crowd
that always fioeks to the place
where the President and family
worship. The present church is a
frame and will only seat about four
hundred people. 1t is proposed to
build the new one to be the finest
church in Washington. It's spire
will reach to the clouds and the
peals of its organ will be heard for
squares.

peDusxIvaDia LegisIature.

The deadlock in the Pennsylva-
MIA legislature remains mistaken.
The twenty-first ballot for Z. S.
senator resulted as follows : Oliver
20, Wallace 70, Grow 80, Wolfe u,
McVeagh 4, with Ii votes scattering.
The votes for Wolfe came from dem
ocrats, while the scattering votes
were from republicans. 1t seems as
if dark horse would win yet.

but she has no popular representa-
ton in her Parliament founded on
the people. 1t was left for usher
colinies-a century ago, in this new
hampshire, and in written consti-
tuition, to erect monument, high
and splendid, around the temple of
our liberty, and guard it, with a
unity and force which the division
and variety made by mountain and
river, and the strong passion of hos
tile armies, could not sever. By it
our composite society is assured of
protection, stability and progress.
In rearing this imminent every
one has builded over against his
own house as in the days of disman-
tied Jerusalam so that by the,
whole mass of our living people,
freedom broadens decennially, not
from precedent to precedent, but
expands and strengthens like the
boIes of the oak, by its inner growth
drawn from the soil, sun, and sky,
into an intense robust life which,
thanks to kind God, has defied the
tempests of the past century, and
under His guidance will defy the
storms of centuries to come!

management have for the last month or
TWO been exceedingly unfortunate in
losing their bridge over the Trinity
river four times, by which they
have been by power beyond the
control of any human agency detained
IN their construction, and in reaching
Cleburne as soon as they anticipated. We
have heard il intimated that a few of the
citizens who have subscribed in aid Of this
enterprise are disposed to take possible
advantage of this possible failure
Of the road to reach Clebume at
the time stipulated in the proposition, in
aid OF the road by this city, but we believe
and hope that no intelligent business man
will be governed by this short-sighted policy.
II our people will take the time to consider
they will recognize the fact that this com
pany have already expended thousands OF
dollars in our midst, and that millions are
yet to come. To business man especially
this would be very short-sighted policy,
for it will be presumed that the manage
ment will look after the interests of their
friends and those who will endesvor to
take any measures toavoid their obligations
will certainly not pave the way for any
extended patronage on the part of the
company, Under she able management
of Mr., j. t. Odell, the very efficient super
intendent, the road is pushing rapidly TO
completion. Mr.. Odell is thoroughly rail-
road man, and familiar with all the details
of the construction of a road, and will reach
Cleburne carly in January if not by the first.
Let us help and encourage the enterprise in
every way possible.

It's comparatively but few days now
until the races, under the auspices of the
Dallas Jockey Club, will commence. The
date is the 9th proximo and the races will
continue four days, during which time
there will be two match races, one trotting,
and the other a half mile DASH running.
The trotting match is between two gentle
men of this city, and the running between
a gentleman of Dallas and another from q
neighboring county. There are number
of trotting and running stables on the
ground daily taking exercise and being
worked in readiness for the event.
All of the running stables are
thoroughbred animals, principally of Tex
as raising, and us rich, blue blood courses
their veins as ever thrilled the equine being
of even the most noted courser of this or
any.other age. The trotting stables .are
good ones, and sometime animals will show
their PAGES during the meet. The track is
receiving all the attention requisite to the
putting Fit in first-class order and every
preparation to make the meeting an emf
nent success is being made. II is trusted
that the citizens of Dallas will give the en-
terprise adequate encouragement to lead to
its permanent success in the future, for il
is the intention of the management to de-
velop il into that perfection that will re-
dound to the credit, the honor and the adj
vantage generally of Dallas.

Mrs, Snooks-Oh, / am ever so much
obliged to you Mrs. Suiflles, and shall al
ways trade there in the future. Won't you

cussed this boss meat and game market
