The course Mr.. Haigh should have
pursued was to have gone out of the
hotel, and entered a suit against the
Board for damages, His chances then
of being the upper man in the fight
would have been much greater, pro-
vided, however the violation of the
"pledge contract did not annul later
arrangements, which the court at Wart-
burg, unfortunately for Mr.. Haigh,
ruled did "makc of none effect" sub
sequent contracts, Mr.. Haigh is
scarcely to be congratulated upon his
legal advisers, nor is anyone to be con
graduated upon the extraordinary and
unsatisfactory state of the law relating
to contracts.

The Fourth of July passed off very
unhistorically in Rugby, the one hun

old days "when George the Third was

sons why British tea was once thrown
into Boston harbor, so long as plums
were to be found in the cake of last

We have had a pleasant call from Mr.
John V. Shepherd of Bingham town
ship, who has just returned from the
land he purchased of Messrs. Allardt
Il Co., in Fentress County, Tennessee.
He showed us some very fine specimens
of timothy, clover, potato vines, onions,
squashes, Strawberries, plants, native
grasses, wild flowers, etc, all extremely
luxuriant, and equal to anything grown
in the north. He, states that the new
potatoes, which have been in use there
several weeks, are in every way equa
to the best northern potatoes, and all
kinds of garden truck is extremely
luxuriant He saw rye from six t.
seven feet high, grown OH ground JUS

that can be produced in Michigan, no
excepting wheat, and will return in th

Mr.. HAIGH has lost his appeal, and
the Board of Aid have again maintained
their case, and we do not see how it
could be otherwise.
MIR. Haigh claimed contract he
held, drawn up and signed by MIR. W..
Hastings Hughes on the part of the
Board, gave him claim on the Board,
as manager of the Tabard Hotel, up
till one day in June last, and that it
annulled any previous arrangement or
contract entered into by him. On the
other hand the Board contcnded shat a
prior contract stipulating MIR. Haigh
should not touch alcoholic liquors while
manager of the hotel, being broken by
MIR. Haigh, made null and void all
other and later contracts, and termlna-
ted Mr.. Haigh's management, which
was that of an employe, and not of Q
tenant.
Mr.. Haigh determined to " hold thu
fort" however, and the Board proceeded
against him on January 3lst, the cas'
resulting in Justice Young ruling MIR

WARTBURG.

Morgan County Circuit Court opened
here on Monday. The only case of
interest to residents of Rugby was the
cause of the Board of Aid as. j. R.
Haigh which was an appeal, by Mr.
Haigh, to the Circuit Court, of suit of
Forcible Detainer of the Hotel Tabard,
tried before Andy Young, Esq, at
Rugby, on January 3lst last. In the
absence of Judge Young, who was only
able to appear for few minutes on
account of sickness, Judge Sewer was
on the bench. Mr.. Templeton, and Mr..
Henderson, of Knoxville, appeared for
the Board of Aid, and Mr. McGufey,
Of Chattanooga, and Mr.. S. f. Young,
of Sweetwater, for Mr.. Halgh. The
case occupied two whole days, ending
with a verdict for the Board Mr..
Haigh applied for new trial, which
the Judge refused.
We believe Mr. Haigh intends taking
action against the Board for damages
on account of being elected from The
hotel, as manager, before the time he
claims his contract with them termin

THE production of pig iron in the
United States is largely over 100000
tons, worth more than eighty millions
of money, and while our population is
doubling every twenty-five or thirty
years the iron product consumed per
capita is much greater; indeed taking
the past growth of iron making in the
United States as the criterion, and i'll
ten years more our pig iron production
will be doubled and we will be making
from one hundred and fifty to one hun
dred and sixty million dollars worth of
iron-indeed there is no telling what
this increase is going to be, since in
the last two years we have discovered
the fact, that, here in the South, where
we have the ore, coal and limestone in
close proximity, We can make iron as
cheaply as they make it in England,
less the difference in the cost of labor.

God Bless the Young Men

Thus prayed the pastor of the Nj.
nights since, when the superin
tendent of the Sunday school had
taken hts seat after having made a
favorable report of the attendance of
the young men of Pulaski upon
the services of the same. The
Young men of this town, and of the
whole country ought, as many of
them do, to feel a reverential pride
in the fact that they are the objects
of such profound interest as is at all
times manifested in their behalf by
the good and great of the genera
ton preceding them. AS men are
by nature more prone than women
to wander, so do those who have
their best interests at heart feel a
greater anxiety as to their course
through life. Perhaps tue dis
arrangement is in a measure ac-
counted for from the fact that men
are exposed to numerous tempta-
tions from which women,as a rule, are
shielded by a supreme jealousy for
their purity mate in the human
breast. But, especially is it pleas
ing in the sight of the wise and
good, to see an upright and righteous
young man. He, who in the years
of his youth resists the multiplied
allurements to err that fashion and
folly consolidate and bring to bear
upon all at this stage of life, is 4
blessing to society; and his fellows
and his God will bless him, not only
for his own integrity, but for his eX-
ample and influence. He is an
honor to his race and to his country /;
and into the hands of such will the
reins of government fall, as those
now in power pass from their labors.
From among this class the church
will choose her leaders, when such
divines as he whose language is
quoted above have received their
reward. Young men, the eyes of
the world are upon you. You must
take the helm of church and of state,
and great preparation is required If
you perform the duties we'll Then
strive to merit, as you do ever re-
ceive, the blessings of the fathers,
and you are sure to realize a gra-
cious answer to what is the fervent
prayer of all pure and honest hearts
"God bless the young men.

Southern Crops.

Reports received at Washington
by the agricultural department up
to Saturday last show a very hope
full prospect for food crops in the
south. There is a general increase
in acreage of winter and spring
wheat and oats, and a slight de
crease in cotton. The increase in
food crops is as follows:
Tennessee-Thirty per cent in
wheat and 40 per cent. in oats.
North Carolina-Wheat % per
cent, oats 80 per cent.
Congratulated 20 per cent. oats
33 per cent
South Carolina-Wheat % pei
cent, oats so per cent.
Arkansas-Wheat 10 per cent,
oats 3 per cent.
In all these states there is re-
ported a decrease in the purchase OF
commercial fertilizers. amounting
in the estimated aggregate to 81
100000. Alabama reported that
owing to the very short crop Of
corn last year, on account of the
drought, the sowing Of winter
wheat and oats was fully fifty pei
cent. greater than ever before, while
preparations for corn are increased
in as great a ratio. With a gooc
season food crops will be enough
