Up to Snuff.

The Lebanon Herald reports that
the Legislature has passed a law
making it misdemeanor, punishable
by fine and imprisonment, for any
person to "manufacture, buy, sell, lend,
borrow, give away, receive or use, or
who shall have in his or her possession
within four miles of any institution Of
learning for the education of females,
whether incorporated or not, ANY Scotch,
maccoboy, rappee, or any other grade,
kind, brand or quality of snuff"
The bill further provides "that any
dealer in snuff, or any other person,
&hg@s ypFFe GSSe RhOQ ieF nd tG 2.J sell
snufer, any kind, quality or grade OF
snuff, after having been notified in
writing by the husband of said female
or the father Of any such female if un.
married or the guardian of any such
female who may be an orphan, or any
male relative of such female, not to dc
SO, shall be guilty of misdemeanor,
and, on conviction, shall be punished
as provided in the first section of this
act"
This may be a very good law, but
sits poor rule that won't work both
ways" and "sauce for the goose should
be sauce for the gander," and the"lords
of creation" who compose the Tennessee
legislature, in their craze for reform,
should have been magnanimous, un.
selfish and selfsacrifcing enough tc

plus andnOOther market but the South.
We have a market at home for all orr
surplus corn to feed it to stock, and it
will pay better to feed it to young hogs
or mules than to take less than 80 cents.
If shippers everywhere would encour-
age the farmers to hold a little while
we believe we would soon obtain better
prices. When prices are high it is bet
ter for both producer and shipper. But
these thoughts are given as our own,
individually, for both the producer and
the shipper to think about and must
be received for no more than they are
worth, if worth anything at all.

Tennessee Corn Six to Eight Cents
Below it's Value.

We cannot understand why Tennes.
see corn should be from 6 to 5 cents
below Western corn in value unless it
is because we choose to sell it for less
than it is worth. If our corn was in
ferior in quality there might be some
excuse for it; but Tennessee corn is of
very fine quality. 1t is sound, plump,
heavy white corn, and should command
the very highest prices. But for some
reason we are told we must sell for less.
We can find a market for all we have
but we are told we must sell for at
least 6 to s cents below what our
Southern brethren can buy from the
West. We do not find fault of the
Southern people for wanting their corn
cheap, but We cannot see any good
sense in our Tennessee farmers and
shippers selling their corn for less than
it is worth, Some of them have been
and are now offering corn too cheap, as
we believe, from letters we have seen
from grain dealers South. AS is known
to some of our readers, we are as.
ISOLATED with Mead, Gray & Co., grain
dealers at this place, and as such are
compelled to watch the markets closely.
We offered a few cars of corn a few
days ago to u house South at very
small advance on cost, and received in
reply, "You are too high we are buy.
ing corn at stations on your road at less
value" From this and otlRr similar
answers, we infer that some shippers
along our line are Offering and selling
corn at fully 6 cents below its actual
value. 1t is true there has been a ma
terial decline both in the West and
East in grain, and necessarily caused a
weakening in the South, but we can
still see see no just reason why, we
should sell our corn below its value
We are not going to say that farmers
should hold or sell their corn. They
must be their own judges as to when
TO sell, but we do believe that corn is
now being shipped to the Southern
markets at prices that neither pays for
producing, or the shipper reasonable
margin for the risk and use of his
money. AS a dealer, we desire to han
die grain. but not at prices that will
not compensate the farmer, or pay the
dealer at least some margin for the risk
and use of his money.
The South is not hungry yet. They
still have some corn of their own pro-
duction in many localities. together
with what they are getting from Ten
nessee at less than its value, to furnish
them for the present. They have an
erroneous idea about the Tennessee
crop. They think we have a large sur

Vegetable and Fruit Growers
Association.

A few weeks ago we suggested the
Importance of some kind of association
Of the farmers, to bring them together
that they might consult together as to
the best crops to plant, how and when
20 plant, the best modes of cultivation
and marketing when made. In our
opinion, every county should have
farmers organization, and the sooner
fol med the better it will be for the
majority of the farmers. We have al
ways advocated the doctrine, that il
the farmers and laboring classes are
prosperous, all other business will be
&C in the same ratio. Then we should
all feel interested in trying to advance
the interests of the producing classes.
Make your producers prosperous, and
every other honorable and legitimate
business will be prosperous. We are
soon to realize the fact that no State in
the union has greater natural advan'
tages as an agricultural and manufacture
ing State than has Tennessee. While
we may not compete with our sister
States west in producing grain, or our
ncighboring States South i'll producing
cotton, we can nevertheless excel them
all in producing fruits and vegetables,
and fine stock of almost every variety.
The stock growing business of Tennes
zee, if we will but prepare our lands
by sowing large areas in grasses, viii
soon become very profitable. To this
add the cultivation of fruits and vege
tables which Tennessee grows to per
lection, and our farmers can and vii
soon become very prosperous. The
Irish potato crop, we believe, is sool
to become very profitable in Tennessee
The fact that we can grow two crop
from the same seed on the same lanC
in one year, gives us a great advantage
over other States. Diversified crop
are generally the most profitable ant
Tennessee can produce them almost t
perfection. But to determine the bes
paying crops to grow, requires stud,
and experience. To better succeed
farmers should cooperate with eacl
other, and there is no better way thai

Don't swat for the Wagon

1t has been suggested as reason why
wagon factories have not been put in
operation in Tennessee, except to
limited extent, that our mechanics can
not compete with the convict labor
employed in making the Tennessee
Wagon by the lessees of the peniten-
tiary. If this is valid objection, why
is it that wagon factories in Ohio and
Indiana, not run by convict labor, can
compete with it, after buying our ma
terial and paying freight both ways,
selling their product here as cheap as
the penitentiary wagon of the same
quality is offered? All we need is the
capital and energy necessary to start
such an enterprise. -Tullahoma Guar
dian.
McMinnville has the capital and nee
essary energy, so all that is lacking is
the penetration to see that in manu-
featuring lies the future greatness and
prosperity of the country. We have
every natural advantage that a manu-
facturer could wish, and in addition to
the necessary capital our people have
the ability and energy to push anything
they undertake to success-what We
most need is little more enterprise
and public spirit.

he did not recover.

quite feeble yet.
