Two or three more good rains
week apart win insure us good
corn crop.
Wheat rye, oats and grass are
good. Meadows slightly damaged
by the drought of last summer, but
the quality of hay is good. Irish
potatoes are fine
The question is now, whether
we will profit by the lessons Of the

care of our cereals, learn 10 plant
early crops, cultivate them well, and
thank the Lord for his mcrcics and
take courage; or will we waste our
grain and run in the old. groovee2

Where to Educate Young Ladies.

We have on the table the annual
register of the Martin Female Col
lege located in Pulaski, Giles coun-
ty, Tenn. The institution is well
manned by Prof. w. X. Jones, and
a full and competent corps of as
sistants. One hundred and forty
six pupils matriculated during the
last session, seven graduated. The
buildings are commOdious, beauti-
fully situated and present an i'm
posing appearance. The college
has permanent endowment of $50
600 bequeathed by the late Thomas
Martin, after whom it is named.
The campus includes seven acres of
ground, affording ample space for
the young ladies in their prone
nades to take sufficient exercise for
all sanitary and physical purposes.
The government is SUI geaeriS, and
the suggestions made by the prin-
cipal, if carried out by parents and
guardians, would tend much to IA
cilitate proper regulations and edu-
catiOnal advancement Prof. Jones
evinced good sense in having his
register printed at home and the
CITIZEN office did good and neat
job in getting it out Unlike some
other college presidents and
churches that we know, he did not
send to Memphis, Cincinnati,
Richmond or any foreign printing
establishment-he patronizes those
who patronize him and no other
practice would be a correct one.

The CITIZEN has been unjustly
credited with driving, or attempt
ing to drive, certain gentlemen out
of the democratic party. We did
not have the gentlemen in mind
when we wrote the paragraph and
there is no way to torture our Ian
guage so as to justify the accusa-
ton. Here is the paragraph ger
6atim:
1--WE have heard some objection to
the convention because they say
some of the delegates have not been
good democrats. What of that?
The question is, are you a good
democrat? If they propose to fall
in with us it does not hurt the
cause. As well say you will quit
eating because some who are not
democrats persist in eating. Let
the majority rule. That is good
democracy. If others help to ac-
complish a good purpose, it does
not affect the purpose, but only con
tributes to the strength of it. p"
We fail to see how this can be
construed into opposition to out
siders acting with the democracy.
On the contrary, it reproved such
sentiment expressed by others. The
CITIZEN and its editor are in favor
Of opening wide the democratic
arms and embracing all who choose
to act in harmony with her in de
feating republicanism, reputation,
high taxes, monopolies, demagogy
and all other isms opposed to good
government and democracy We
only insist that it must be done in
the party and not outside of it, and
all men have right there and are
welcome who will assist in carrying
out its policies.

The meeting commenced under
the most gloomy surroundings, no
one seeming to have perfected any
plans. After the first motion, dis
cussion followed and the interest
commenced to be awakened and
finally developed into great zeal.
People commenced to drop in from
the country and the crowd grew
larger and it soon dawned upon
every mans mind that the people
were awake and determined to build
the pike. Mr.. Bugg, a member OF
the soliciting committee, at once set
to work, and within fifteen minutes
had over a thousand dollars on his
paper and was at work when we left.
The details of the work are left for
future action and will be fixed in
accordance with the will of the
shareholders. The route is the old
road, with some changes in places
where precipitous hills can be
avoided. The old route is best, for
the reason, as stated by Mr.. McKim-
min, that it is one of the main
arteries of trade and travel and will
always remain so, and if the pike is
taken by some other circuitous and
longer route the gates can and will
be avoided by travel taking the old
road.
Messrs. Buford and Gordon were
at work in Pulaski before 8 o'clock
Monday morning and were meeting
with reasonable success. The
other members of the committee are
also at work and the amounts al
ready subscribed reach away up to-
wards the total amount required.
The total amount necessary cannot
be definitely determined until a
survey is made, but from the liberal
responses of those who have been
approached, it is considered abso
lutely certain that the amount will
be easily realized.

people along the line were gratified

Mr.. L. ID. MCCoRD, CITIZEN OF

among the best of our magnates,
lit becomes my painful duty to
inform you of a great wrong about
to be perpetrated on an unsuspect-
ing and probably slumbering com
munity, that you may with that
mighty lever, the press, with your
devil to aid in the good work, warn
the public to be on their guard,
whereby the wall Of hungry chill
dren and the soothing strains that
would flow in cadence sweet from
irate danes may not be heard in
our goodly city.
Nortu propriO, George Woodring
informs me that he wishes to en-
plov hands to dig his Irish pota-
tatoes, that he planted a peck of
peragrating potatoes in the dark
of the moon, and they must be
dug in some stage of that luIni-
nary. A popularity he claims for
tbrm is the pollen flying from the
stalk will produce potatoes in gar
deus and fields n half mile distant,
and he expects to gather in his crop
from the square to the north corpo-
rate limits and then not to realize in
full for his outlay.
