is usually quite a full attendance, and the
fact that the gentlemen comprising the

voucher for the fact that they aim to
carefully conserve the best interests of

bad are in their charge.

this is already subscribed. This
road is a great necessity, giving an

To the People Of Tennessee.


The subject of our public high
way system, and the best method
for improving it, has commanded
my most careful consideration since
the first day Of my appointment as
your commissioner of agriculture,
etc.
That the public highway or road
law is defective, the most casual
observer will admit; and, believing
that the least expensive and the
most effective method for correc-
ting one of the apparent evils of the
system is that of educating the
road commissioners to a proper
standard of civil engineering, more
especially in that branch which
involves the principles of roadmak-
ing, the materials most suitable,
the manner Of making and main
tanning repairs, and that regard
(which Commodore Vanderbilt
evinced through life and which
crowned his every undertaking
with unparalleled success) for the
economical adaptation of "the
means to the end"
Most OPPORTUNITY has Chancellor
Garland and Professor Landreth,
of Vanderbilt University, of Nash
vile, come to the assistance of your
commissioner with a free-will offer
ing which, if accepted and carried
out by the county courts OF Tennes-
see, will rebound alike advantage
ously to the farmer by afording him
improved highways for the trans
portation of county commerce, and
to the magnificent generosity of the
already famous university which
bestowed it.
trust that every justice of the
peace, judge and chairman of a
county court in the state of Ten
nessee will address himself to this
most important subject at once, and
provide the ways and means, if
practicable, for placing his road
commissioners at the Vanderbilt
University the next session in
roads, which will be organized on
October 1st next, and continue I'M
til November 18th; and also, if
practicable, for county surveyors
and their assistants or deputies,
present at the next session of
''Land and Typographical Survey
ing" which will be arranged Sep
TENDER l and continued until Jan
uary 1, 1884. All lectures and in
struction will be given free of
charge.
The farmers of the state, particu-
larly where there is an abundance
of limestone or gravel, should keep
step with the progress of the age
and convert the primitive, rough
and impossible highways over
which their less favored but pa
tient ancestors drew their scanty
surplus to market, into thorough
fares uas smooth as a Belgian pave
ment, enabling them, with an or
binary team, to perform more
work in one day than they did in
three. Most respectfully.

kerson. Their school days in af-
ter years will be remembered as the
happiest they ever experienced, and
yet how impatiently they await the
ending? School days as they are
passing sometimes seem dreary and
dull and the lessons are often dry
and hard to commit, and all who
have reached the point in their ed
ucation now attained by these
young ladies can recall frequent
wishes for the time to come when
they could quit school and enter
upon what then seemed the real en-
joyments Of life. Youth looks to
the future for happiness, but in ma
ture years we realize that youth it
self is happiness. These graduates
are passing from youth to another
happy period in life, young woman
hood, and pleasures of a different
character will crowd upon them,
but the cares must come, and then
tits that they will find most need for
the application of the training they
have received at school. May their
cares be light and borne with res
ignation, and may their joys be
many and lasting.

movement in different states, show
ing the practicable and permanent
results of cooperative stores and
urging the farmers to do something
to keep pace with the impetus the
grange had given us in days gone
by. He was followed by Capt.
Blackburn, who said that he had
labored increasingly for the grange
because he thought it was the chan
mel through which redress could best
be had for the oppressed tillers of
the soil, that its teachings as a
whole were beneficial to the com
mon people, and while the four
mile law had done much to lessen
he believed that the
grange had been the prime cause Of
this falling off of cases on our civil
