A NO.FENCE LAW.

We heartily endorse the following.
and hope our farmer friends will care
fully consider it. 1t is much cheaper
to fence in the stock than to enclose
the fields, and the farmers in Georgia
and other states have found it out, to
their profit:
Tennessee is all broken up over a
proposed dog.tax law and no>fence
law. The fence law is mainly inter-
esting to farmers.--Paducah News.
The dog>owners outnumber the
sheep.owners and have it all their
own way. The sheep>owners have no
chance. But the tillers of land out,
number the owners of vagrant stock,
and why they should be taxed mill
ions of dollars for fencing their fields
against the depredating vagrant cat
tie and hogs is what no fellow can
find out.-Memphis Avalanche.
If the farmers of Tennessee want
a no. fence law the Tobacco Leaf has
pointed out the way they can procure
the enactment of such law. The
farmers alone are interested in this
question. There is state organiza-
ton of farmers in Tennessee and a
separate organization in nearly every
county. If these organizations pro.
duce no practical results they are
worthless. Let them take hold OF
these practical questions affecting their
interest. and in such cases as this
there can exist no reason why the far
mer can not control the question:

The State Farmers Association
assembled in convention in Nashville
last Tuesday, when permanent or
ganization was effected by the cleo
tion of B. f. Cockrill, of Davidson,
chairman; vice-president for Middle
Tennessee, g. H. Slaughter, of Mont>
gomery; lce-president from East
Tennessee, II. B. Yearwood; vice.
president from West Tennessee, Hon.
J. H. Mcdowell, of Obion; perma~
nent secretary, B. M. Hoard; assists
ant secretary, Jno. M. Meeks, of
East Tennessee, and Robert Gates,
OF West Tennessee; E. d. Hicks,
of Davidson treasurer.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, that the association re.
quest the commissioner of agriculture
of the state of Tennessee to obtain
from the census bureau at Washing
ton a statement in detail of the acre.
age and yield of the more important
crops of the state for the year 1879
for each county of this state; also of
the number and owner of the several
classes of live stock in each county
Of the state for the same year, to be
placed in the hands of each of the
statistical correspondents of the bu-
reau Of agriculture, and that the
commission shall direct that such sta
tistical correspondents shall, in .heir
monthly reports to the bureau, make
comparison of acreage, yield and
condition of crops, number, condi-
ton and value of live stock, in per>
centages Of the census figures of
1879.
Resolved, that we demand that the
study of the elementary principles of
scientific agriculture shall be pursued
in our public schools, and that we
urge upon the superintendent of pub
lie instruction that he take the proper
steps to have it introduced into them
at once.
Resolved that we believe the chief
work of the University of Tennessee,
the state agricultural college, is to
prepare the young men of our state
for agricultmal.and mechanical pur.
suits. This we believe to be in &C,
cordamce with the spirit of the organ
ic act, and certainly for the best inter-
est of those engaged in agriculture.
That, as is the case with law, med
ical and theological schools, the state
college shall be so organized as to add
init to its course pupils who have
completed common school branches,
and should give instruction in studies
relating to agriculture and mechanic
al arts, from the time of the students
entrance until the completion of such
courses.
Resolved, that we hereby call upon
the officers of the college, especially
the governor and other trustees, who
see and acknowledge its special mis-
sion, to do all in their power, or that
can he legally done, to remove all
persons and methods, if there by any,
that stand in the way of its usefulness
to farmers and mechanics. and that
we, pledge our hearty cooperation in
whatever may be necessary to cons
form the institution to the conception
of the duties as herein presented.
We note that only theee from West
Tennessee were present, and they
were not all farmers. Few, if any,
were recorded from East Tennessee.

The Northern Pacific National Park
branch is expected to be in operation
by October lst.
The average rate of speed over the
Denver d Rio Grande will be twenty

It is believed that the general short

followed by a reduction of fares.

branch of the Northern Pacific pro-
crosses at the rate of half a mile per
day.
The Union Pacific company are now
taking their emierant cars over the road
attached to the first-class train.
The Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany has reduced the fare from Helena

first class $50, second class $48.
The third rail on the Denver d Rio
Grande between Salt Lake and Ogden,
means that the Central Pacific passen-

Two THOUSAND When
the census was taken in 1880, Dayton
had population of 996. Today, ac-
eording to assessor Hunter, who has Just
finished assessing, it has population of
1900. This ia about 25 per cent. in
crease since last year. Is there another
town in the Territory, not under the in
fiuence of boom, that can show as good
a growth? The population of the coun-
ty is not far from 6,000. In less than
eighteen months Dayton will have 1900
inhabitants; in less than three years she

How the Nose is Snubbed.

No part of the face divine has been
so neglected, ill-treated, and snubbed
as the nose. What lover ever wrote a
sonnet to his mistress nose? Poets
have written of hyacinthine locks and
ebon tresses, of ringlets, light and
brown, of floating auburn curls, OF
glossy hair, clustered DER a brow, OF
pouting lips whose color mocks the
rose. Yet that great lantern of every
face none have seen the beauties OF.
Volumes have been told of eyes that
melted in love and kindled in war,
from the wild sparkle Of Lara's to the
fatal glance of Kate kearney. Dis
dain and scorn sparkled in some; others
outshone the radiant beams that gild
the passing shower. Some were the
starlight of soft midnight, and others
looked love to eyes that spoke again
Bright black eyes, melting blue, cold
gray, and sparkling hazel have each
had their adorers. Yet that seat OF
refinement. Hazlett's rudder of the
