Indian Corn in Hills or Drills

"a great many, ifnot majority of farmers
here, now recognize that planting corn in
hills is great mistake, and that when the
crop is made in drills four feet apart, and the
seed so planted that the stalks will he from
nine to twelve inches apart, the yield will be
from ten TO fifteen bushels more per acre thnn
when the land is check rowed and three or
four stalks stand in punches three and a.haIt
or four feet apart each way This, with
notifications caused by the size of the corn
and the richness of the soil, is the true doe
trine of corn culture, as has also been demon.

that they commit no deprcdations upon the

Good News from Roane.

WHEAT, RoANE COUNTY, Tenn, Oct. 10.
MIR. EDITOR: You may tell your readers
that my county, The ever-loyal Roane, is
going to do good days work for Captain
Rule on the day of the election. 1 think
majority of US are il favor of sending him to
Congress, and he is gaining every day.
Right here will state, that while on my
way to Knoxville, the 21st of August, got
i'll company with aouk man, and while
talking about the excitement about the two
candidates, he remarked that there was a
few fools III the 18th district of Knox County
that had gone wild over Rule, and was doing
all they could against Houk, but they would
find out in November that Rule would have
very few friends, but l can inform my
friend that there is a grand army of that
kind of fools, and we are going to prove it
to him on the day of the election. On that
day we expect to do days work that will
place Houk on the retired list of Congress
men in the second district of Tennessee.
VI will quote short piece from the Re
publican, of the 18th of September: 1.-THE
Republicans of the second district are Join
ing the regular army with great unanimity
The guerrillas and bushwhackers may annoy
our TANKS and pick off few stragglers, but
can no more retard the advance of our
grand army than the Southerners could stop
Sherman in his grand march to the sea- +"
Mr. Gibson failed to tell who was the
commander of that grand army, but we will
not fall out with Mr.. Gibson for that We
will fill out that little blank with pleasure,
by saying that we have nominated the Hon.
VIM. Rule to head that grand army, and We
have no fear but what he will lead it on to
victory. y.

III ouk in Campbell.

Mr.. EDITOR L. g. Houk spoke at Wal
nut Grove, Campbell County, to-day it
consisted in personal abuse of Capt. Rule,
calling him a bolter, street loafer; said
he was trying to destroy the Republican
party, and then tried to prejudice the PEG
pie against Capt. Rule by telling what the
Coopers had done in this Congressional
district, and that he (Houk) had had them
had put Capt. Rule out of the post-office
And then he tried with all the eloquence he
had to get those who had got pensions and
those who expected to get to believe that he
had secured the payment of every pension
that had been paid to the ex-Federal SOL
diers in this Congressional district, and that
nobody else could do what he had done !;
that is the impression he tried to make on
the minds of his hearers. Said he did not
read that dirty sheet, the CHRONICLE Said
it was not fit to be in decent mans house.
He was escorted from Jacksboro by few
men. among whom was Jim Ray. Now,
we all know Jim; he is a better man
than Houk. He drinks his dram,
deny it. But how about Houk? He used
to be Methodist preacher, and swore the
best sermon he ever preached that he was
half drunk; he has made temperance
speeches, he has been bolter, he has been
drunk while on the judges bench, poisoned
at Washington, drunk at Nashville, drunk
at Knoxville, and now he has the i'm
pudence to ask the good people of this dis
trict to send him back to Congress to dis
grace them for the next two years to come.
He said he had said many hard sayings
about the Democrats, but had the advantage
of Captain Rule-he had not printed them
He acknowledged that he said he was op-
posed to rebels and negroes voting. The
judge will not get his ten-elevenths of the
Republicans, as he thinks, i'll the second
civil district of Campbell County. He will
not get more than third of them. |
reckon that good speech the Judge is going
to have published was the one he made in
the convention. That dirty sheet he talked
about is in hundreds of as good homes, yea
thousands, as there ale in East Tennessee
We have plenty of men here who served
with Captain Rule in the war; some of
whom are now living i'll this community,
who have more influence than Gibson's
organ. At the close of Houk's speech,
some one said, 1--WE will now give three
cheers for Houk" Then Nathan of old,
who had been paid to halloo, and DR.. j.
j., who, like Houk, was one Baptist,
and then Methodist preacher and God
only knows what he will be next, took off
their hats and hallooed for Houk Some
of the Houk men turned their backs to the
yell and remarked that it was entirely ''too
thin" And with that the cowd dispersed.
Yours A TISTENER

MARYvILLE, October 10, /

MARYvLLE, October 10, 1882.
Mr.. EDITOR Captain Rule passed
through town this morning on his way to
Louisville. He is bright as dollar and in
the very best of spirits. From what in
formation we can gain, he has reason to be
IN good spirits. All through Sewer County
ne was met by large crowds and had atten-
tive audiences, and November the 7th will
tell tale III that county that will surprise
not only the opposition, but the friends of
Rule themselves will find them
selves stronger than was thought
for. In Tuckaleechee he had a
large crowd, and his many friends were
made warmer and stronger friends than
ever. From a reliable gentleman lust
from that place, we learn that some
prominent men who have been hold
ing on to Houk, and some who have
been rather nOn-committal have come
out strong and firm for Rule. When they
see the farmer boy they like him; when
they hear him they are impressed with his
strong and patriotic utterances.
LAST night he spoke at Porter Academy
and the house could not hold his hearers
the audience was so large. His vote in that
locality will be strong
Rev. James A. Ruble also passed through
Maryville on his return from Sevierville
where he met Judge Temple by his proxy,
h. w. Austin, and discussed the questions
OF the Congressional contest. He reports
the crowd, which was a large one, as two
thirds for Rule.
What Judge Temple said in person
Ia hnoxville two years ago about
ha b1
sevierville last Monday. 1t is really
cruel in Judge Houk to demand such ser
vice of SO good and sensitive man as
Judge Temple as to appear in public, either
personally or proxibly, to uphold and de-
fend the drunkenness of a person in high
official position. But if Judge Temple
don't do 1t, and Houk could possibly be re
elected, Temple had just as well set his old
shoes on the outside of the door for Yardley
to get into them. Yardley's equal to the
occasion. W.

THERE was statesman named Campbell,
Who concluded to go on ramble,
So one Sunday morn he took a stiff horn,
And was eager for fight or scramble.
He swore, and he howled, and he hallooed,

And in such plight, Leonidas, tight,
Was by policeman collared.

'Let go Of me (hic), if you please, sir;
'Why sir, I'm an NJ. G. from East Ten

But with curses loud, he distinctly

He would have his captor beheaded
