The Great Floods of 1883.

The present year will be memorable
as the witness of some of the most re-
markable foods of modern times. For
weeks past the principal river regions
both Of Europe and the United States
have been the scene of unparalleled
dfJwRd6tsTa and 1SSSdd sr Sf S!sssses have
been inundated, cattle, buildings, and
products, the accumulations of years Of
industrious toll, have been swept away,
many lives lost, thousands of people
rendered homeless and reduced to pow
erty. Financially the losses are to be
measured by millions of dollors.
In this country the valleys of the
Ohio ard Mississippi Rivers, with many
of their tributaries, have been converted
into vast inland lakes; the ancient time,
when the Father of Waters, from the
Gulf Of Mexico to the mouth of the
Ohio, had an average width of ffty
miles, seems almost to have returned.
We might fill many columns with the
details of extraordinary occurrences
pertaining to the present foods; but the
following, as a general example, must
suffice: Memphis, Tenn, March 7,
1883: The nearest point of land to Tip
tonville, Tenn, is ten miles distant.
The towns in the midst of great lake.
Two-thirds of the country in which it
is situated is deeply flooded, and
nearly every farmer in the overAowed
district has lost his corn, hogs, and cot
ton Fences have been swept away
as we'll as outhouseS and many dwell
lings. Hardly farmhouse has been
left along Reelfoot Lake, which is
now rushing like torrent through
Obion and Deer Rivers and into the
Mississippi.

The. First General Assembly.


We CLEAN the following interesting
scraps of history from the volume,
Life AS 1t Is" noticed in another
column:
On Monday, the 2Sth day of March,
1896, a little more than 81 years ago,
the first General Assembly of Tennes.
see convened at Knoxville. 1t con-
tinued in session for 26 days, and
passed 80 laws. The first speaker of
the Senate was James Winchester,
and the first speaker of the House was
James Stewart. Gen. John Sewer
was inaugurated Governor and VIM.
Maclin chosen Secretary of State.
We note difference in the salaries of
members and other State officers then
and at present. The members of the
Assembly received $1.75 per day, and
the same for every % miles travel, 90.
ing and returning. The salary of the
Governor was $3.50. At that time the
circulating medium of the country was
gold and silver.
On the 26th of Nov. 1907 the Nash.
vile Bank was chartered by the Legis
lature, capital 100000. On the Goth
of November, 1911, the Bank of the
State of Tennessee, at Knoxville. was
chartered, with capital of 100000
These banks were organized and soon
went into operation.
Many of the laws enacted after our
State government was formed were
similar to those of North Carolina.
The latter State enacted a law in 1886
providing that all persons convicted
of horse stealing, should be branded
with red.hot iron on the right cheek
with the letter II, and on the left with
the letter I, stand in the pillory one
hour, be publicly whipped on his bare
back with thirty.nine lashes, and at
the same time have both of his or their
ears nailed to the pillory and cut off"
This law was enacted in Tennessee,
and we are told many persons convict
ed and punished accordingly. This
seemingly very cruel and inhuman law
was repealed both in N. Carolina and
Tennessee, and in its stead was enacted
a law inhicting death by hanging upon
persons guilty of horse stealing. This
was the law in both North Corolina
and Tennessee. In 1907, however,
the legislature thought proper to re.
peal this severe penalty, and substituted
in its stead, punishment by whipping,
branding in the hand, standing in the
pillory and imprisonment. This law
remained in force until 1929, when the
penitentiary system was adopted.

Thoughts for Farmers.

We fearful that a majority of the
farmers Of this country do not study as
carefully as they should the kinds of
crops to grow to yield them the greatest
profit. The business of farming re-
cures just as much careful thought and
iudy as any other business. We be.
iieve large majority of the farmers in
his country,and especially in Tennessee,
plant their crops without thinking
what the demand will be for the same
when produced. Not only so, but
.hese same kind of crops are produced
rom year to year without studying
ne character of the soil or the effects
produced on their lands by constantly
growing wheat and corn.
The object of every business man is,
Or should be, TO 50 study and conduct
his business as to make living, and at
the same time not only take care of his
''rpital hut add more to it every year
80 it should be with the farmer. For
number of years the prices of grain
and cotton have been lower in proper.
lion to the cost of production than almost
any DINER farm product. Why lis this? If
ve think little we can readily under
Ntand why it is so. The productions
pl cotton, wheat and corn are in excess
ct the demand, and consequently com,
mand less prices in proportion to the cost
If production than other products. So
long as this continues we should cease to
make these exhaustive crops in Ten
nessee, only for home supply. We can
grow cotton, and we can grow wheat
and corn, but at the present prices we
can not compete with the South in pro-
tlucing cotton, nor with the west in
making corn and wheat. Tennessee is
better adapted to the growth Of fine,
fat cattle, sheep, hogs, mules, poultry
and the various kinds Of fruits and
vegetables. These latter are the pro,
ducts that will pay the majority of
Tennessee farmers better than cotton or
grain so long as these great staples are
produced in excess Of the demand.
We must SOW our lands in grasses and
then we can produce fine fat cattle and
mules and all other kinds of fine stock
for which there is now, and will always
be, demand. These are things for
the wise and prudent farmer to think
about if he would succeed well in his

Our Irish tato Crop.

To thOse who have faith to plant an
Irish potato crop for croft, we desire
10 give few words of encouragement

vlSes us to save plenty of the first crop

growing demand for second crop both
North and South for early market

we hope Mr.. Calendar may favor us
frequently with information concerning
the welfare of the crop.
