Celery 0nltnre.

The demand for celery increases every
year. Lately the demand has been
greater than the supply in all parts of
the country. The past season was
most unfavorable one for this crop.
The spring was cold and wet and the
summer hot and dry. The leaves were
generally small and were often ill-shap-
en-. The culture of this plant has been
greatly simplifed during the past few
years. The system ofplantihg in trench
es has been abandoned by nearly all
market gardeners. This effects great
saving Of labor The plan of starting
the plants in hot-beds has also been
given up by most persons. The seed is
sown in well-prepared beds in the open
ground, but great care is taken to pre-
pare the soil for the growth of the tend
er young plants. Some burn the soil as
they do when preparing the seed-beds
for tobacco, SO as to have no trouble
with weeds. The seed is sown in rows
about eight or ten inches apart and the
soil between them frequently stirred to
hasten the growth of the plants to pre-
vent the springing up of weeds. The
young plants are rendered stocky by
shearing off the tops two or three times
before they are put in the rows where
they are to mature. In June and July,
they are placed in rows three feet apart
and six inches in the row.. AS soon as
they become established, the soil is kept
well supplied with water Unless there
are seasonable rains, water is supplied
by means Of pipes or rubber hose. Some
have located celery plantations on the
banks of streams or the side of lakes, so
that the water may be easily supplied.
Gardeners have been slow in finding out
that celery is bynature an aquatic plant,
and they are now treating it to all tho
water it wants.

A late Washington dispatch says:
If any Tennessee Democrats remain

however, and got badly sat down in the

with the help of Houk and Pettibone a
tremendous effort was made to have

successful but for the vigorous and de.

letter from a Low-Taxer.
Editor Home Journal:

Editor Home Journal:
I sec through the columns Of your
paper that the chairmen Of the Execu-
tive Committees of the two wings OF
the Democratic party of this county
have united in calling convention Of
the Democracy to meet in Winchester
the first Monday in June, to select del
egates to represent our county in the
State Democratic Convention which is
called to assemble in Nashville the goth
of June. / understand that the State
Convention is called by joint action of
the Executive Committees representing
the two wings of the Democratic party
of the State.
Now, in regard to the action of the
committees, both State and county, l
and every Democrat in the State should
be proud to know it. l am glad, as o
lover Of good old Democratic principles,
to see the action taken by the chairmen
of the two committees of our county,
and l do hope that every Democrat that
attends that convention may go there
with good intentions and mature delib-
Grafton, and that spirit of perfect har-
mony may prevail.
We have seen the folly of split in
the Democratic ranks, and if we repeat
it, and let the Republicans get full con-
troll of the State, it will perhaps be
years to come before that power can be
wrested from their hands They are
now watching with great anxiety the
action of the Democratic party. They
are now "quaking" and trembling in
their boots, fearing that the Democratic
party will harmonic and thus cut off
and defeat their expectations next No
vember.
The Democratic party, since the
war, is composed Of both good Old Line
Wings and Democrats, and certainly
there cannot be prejudice existing be-
tween the two as to cause any good Old
Line Wing, or Democrat either, to lop
off from the Democratic party and vote
with the Republicans, for we all have
felt the effects of their "ron rule" while
they held the power in our State.
| am no politician, and never dab
bled in politics publicly, but as one who
has been identified with the low.tax
wing of the Democratic party simply
give this as my feelings in the matter,
hoping that harmony may prevail in our
ranks, and that the much agtated State
debt question may be forever settled
and blotted from the books of remem-
brance. w. w. M.

rHE RossER's CAVE.
Discovery Of the Haunt Of
the James Brothers.

The Gallatin Tennesseean gives cur.
rency to story about the discovery Of
a cave on the farm Of Col. James AL
exander, in Sumner county, near the
Tennessee boundary line, which has for
years been the haunt of the James
brothers. We extract from the story
as follows:
The farm upon which the cave is sit.
uated was rented by Il man giving his
name as F. j. Howard, who was
scarcely ever at home, and the only
person to be seen about the house was
an old colored woman aud her husband,
who appeared to manage the farm and
the few mead Of cattle that gazed in the
pasture field
The cave is located in an isolated
spot upon the farm and is surrounded
by a dense underground, and the en-.
trance to it il mere sink-hole, into
which water from the earth's surface
flows, forming in the cave beautiful
stream Of water as clear as crystal.
The entrance, however, is large enough
to admit the passage of man on horse.

quently carrolod there for days and
nights together, while their masters
rolled themselves up in their blankets
and enjoyed such sweet and refreshing
sleep as only a sense of perfect security
could give them.
The farm was occupied by Howard
until the day the killing of Jesse James
was reported, when the occupants dis.
appeared. carrying away the household
goods. The owner Of the farm soon of.
ter received a letter signed Frank
James, alias F. j. Howard, stating that
he had vacated the premises forever,
adding, "Visit the cave on your farm
and you will find something to interest
you. shall avenge the death of my
brother or die in the attempt"
The receipt of this letter greatly as.
tonished Col. Alexander, who called
about him select number of friends to
whom he read the document, and who
we're as equally astonished. Keeping
the matter secret, they left the same
evening for visit to the cave, and en-
tering the same with torches, a strange,
weird sight met their view. First, the
skeletons of four horses, evidently left
there by the robbers on their last raid,
as they still emit an unpleasant odor.
Blankets and mattresses were strewn
about promiscuously, together with
cooking utensils and few pieces of fur.
niture. This portion of the cave is per-
fectly dry, and afforded a comfortable
abode for the bandits. In niche in
one of the chambers was found a half
bushel measure, such as is used by farm.
ers, and in it was found a miscellaneous
assortment Of valuables evidently placed
there and forgotten by the robbers.
Among the assortment were found 4
diamong rings, 2 diamond necklaces, s
diamond pins, Supposed to be diamond)

The Davis Murderers.
From the McMinnville New Era.1


Last Wednesday evening, while a ne.
gro woman, living near where CAPT.
james NJ. Davis was recently assassina.
ted, was in the woods near where the
murder took place gathering ginseng,
she found a large-sized navy pistol,
with all the chambers loaded. The wo.
man brought the pistol home and deliv-
cred it to Mr.. Phelps, on whose place
she was living. Last Friday night, two
days after the pistol was found, eight
masked men went to her cabin and de-
mand I'd the pistol; she told them that
she did not have it. They then de.
manded, with threats, to know where
the pistol was; she told them Mr..
Phelps had 1t. They repaired to the
house of Phelps, and calling him up to
the window, demanded the pistol found
by the negro woman, which de deliver.
ed to them through the window. 1t is
very natural to suppose that the party
demanding the pistol were engaged in
or were in possession of facts concerning
the killing of Davis, and we're appre.
hensive the pistol might be an agent in
ferring them out, and hence their deter.
mination to regain it. 1t might have
been fortunate for the ends Of justice
had MIR Phelps at once delivered the
pistol into the hands of the authorities !;
but having it in his possession it is
more than likely any of us would have
acceded to the demands made upon him
for its possession. But even the finding
of the pistol, and its subsequent recov.
cry by its owner, may yet furnish a
clue to the perpetrators of the murder.
We believe it will yet out
