Twas glorious evening in autumn,
And In pillows Of crimson and gold
The rid, western sun slow sinking
Each CLEAN didst fresh splendor unfold;
Aud earth seemed to have caught all the radi.n..
That the bright sunset clouds threw down
For the forests and meadows were clothed
In scarlet, and gold and brown.
The spring of that year had been blighted
The lowering shrubs and trees
Had budded and bloseomed, when winter
Returned with its Sorrows and killed these
And the summer that followed was scorchin,
The burnt fields, and hot, dry-bedded stream.
Gave no promise, nor hope Of a harvest,
Tho radiant the suns golden beams
A. gazed on the gloriOns sunset,
From a hill top all bathed in light,
On that calm, lovely evening in autumn
When all was wond rously bright

By the gentle. soft south. winds were swept
Ny heart caught glad inspiration,
And smile TO my pale lips there crept
For likened lie TO these seasons.

feet each way and plant hut one grain,
or allow but one stalk to each hill.
This is we believe preferable to the
old way Of laying of four feet each
way and leaving two stalks to each
hill. We planted poor land last spring,
laid of three feet each way, one stalk
to the hill, and made satisfactory
crop. Now is the time II discuss these
questions and decide upon the best
modes of planting before the time
comes to plant. We would be glad to
hear from Thos. S. Myres, G. M.
Smart, Sam McRamspy, and any
other farmers of experience who
have tested the best ways Of planting
for successful crop. Let US have the
advise ami experience of the best
farmers that we may follow and profit
by their experience. We have now had
two good corn crops in succession and il
is mnre than probable that we may he
less fortunate the coming season, which
makes it still more important that we
not only take care Of the present
crop just harvested, lest we should
need it, but prepare our lands well and
plant in the best possible way and in
due time to make good crops. In
making any crop our success depends
largely upon the way it is planted and
the manner of its cultivation. We
shall be glad to have this question
thoroughly discussed through the cnl>
umns Of the STANDARD, by our best
aud most successful farmers of this
and other counties. We believe all
will agree that now is the time to be
gin to pillow for all kinds of spring
crops, 50 as to expose the soil to the
action of the atmosphere.

DISSATISFIED.

From the Worlds special, Tracy
City, December 10th, we learn the
question of moving the county site of
Grundy county to Tracy City or some
point between that place and Altamont,
is again being agitated. The eleventh
district, in the event of failure to
move the site, will make an effort to
cut loose and attach itself to Marion.
The alledged reason for this is the in.
convenience of getting to the courts at
Altamont, and the difficulty of getting
convictions of criminals. Are we to
infer from this that criminals cannot be
convicted in AltamOnt Circuit Court 4?
Certainly Grundy county has good
men from whom jury can be selected
that will maintain the dignity and SUI.
premacy of the law. 1t seems to us
that AltamoDt is much more conyen.
lent to Tracy than Jasper would be,
besides the Inconvenience of going up
and down the mountain. 1t may be
the eleventh:d would like to have
a little county of its own.
The special says as follows: "The
building of a new Courthouse is the
most important question before the
people. We are obliged to build, we
all agree to that; SO do we agree to
the kind. Every one says let us build
good one, practically re.proof, either
of stone or brick, with fre-proof vaults
for all the countY's books and papers.
A competent committee has been
appointed to get up plans and specif-
cations and to report at the next term of
the court. The committee will doubt
less decide on stone building with
fire-proof vaults-a building that will
cost about SO, 900 or $4,000.
The county is out of debt, and the
great loss to the people in the burning
Of the Registers books, and the litiga-
ton growing out of the loss Of papers,
have rendered the people ready and
willing to pay for place of security
for all important papers of record"
The above correspondent has cor.
rect ideas of the value of fre.prooi
vaults. Every county should have a
strong 6re.proof vault, sufficiently
large 10 hold all the public records,
books, and papers of Importance per-
tanning to public business. The ex.
pense Of making the vault would be
small when compared with the loss and
inconvenience Of losing a county's pub
lie records.

WINTER FLOWING FOR CORN.

There seems to be but little rest for
the successful farmer. Now that he is
done fall seeding and gathering in his
corn crop, it is time to begin prepare
tions for the spring crops, one of the
most important Of which is corn. Every
farmer knows, or should know, the
value OF fall and winter blowing for
corn, especially sod and stubble lands.
As rule, corn crops should not sue
coed each other on the same land. By
early winter blowing we not only ex>
pose the cut worms and other trouble
some insects to the freezes, and thus
destroy many of them, but expose the
soil to the chemical influences of the
atmosphere, from which the soil abb
serbs the fertilizing gases and other
productive elements requisite to good
crops. A certain degree of moisture is
essential to the production of good
crops. If the land is reasonably good
and is well plowed in winter in time to
have the benefit of much freezing, so
as to absorb the winter SHOWS and rains
it will be full of moisture and in condi>
ton to stand drouth if kept well
stirred at regular intervals. Lands
that are thoroughly broken in winter.
and are exposed to the frosts, are
generally light and loose through the
whole season and are neither hard nor
stiff to work.
AS to the best varieties of corn to
plant, how much to the hill, or how
far the rows and hills should be
apart, are questions to determine be.
fore the time comes to plant. Some OF
our best farmers, among whom is ThOs.
5. Myers, Esq, of this county, are OF
opinion that the best way to plant
corn for a large yield, and Of the best
quality, is to make your rows three

TENNESSEE CORN AND ITS Flu.
TURE.

While there is marked depression
in the corn markets South and prices
are very low in consequence of too
much new corn thrown on the market,
we believe prices will materially i'm
prove in the early future. Slight i'm
pr0vements are indicated in the West.
ern markets, caused perhaps from short
crops in many sections, made so by the
damage from early frosts. Should
there be any material and permanent
advance in the West there will be as
certainly a similar advance in the
South. In fact the South has made
less corn this than last year, and will
require larger quantity to supply the
efficiency. A better demand may be
expected from that direction. Another
good indication, the recent sharp ad.
vance in the price Of fat hogs means
something. The hog crop West is
shorter than at first anticipated, no
doubt IN consequence of shorter corn
crops May we not reasonably expect
corn to advance in proportion to the
advance in pork ? Another reason
Tennessee has not SO much surplus corn
from the present as last years crop.
Last year our crop was large with but
little stock Of any kind to eat it. This
year we have more stock and less corn.
With these facts before US, would it
not be advisable for farmers to hold
their surplus at least until sufficiently
dry to be safe from spelling, and I'M
til the present over>supply shall have
been exhausted =? We make the sug>
gestions for what they are worth, be-
lieving that we are correct as to the
future of Tennessee corn; but as cur
opinion: are no better than Others, every
farmer should act and think for him
self, and determine when to sell his
surplus products. Certainly corn can
not 60 any lower than it is at present.

from Camp near Richmond, New
Mexico. We left camp April 2S, at
night having news that a party of about
twenty-five Apaches were seen in camp
about forty miles from here, at Horse
shoe canyon. Four white and six In
dian scouts, Scout Bennett in charge, a
troop Of cavalry and l had a hard trip
for the first five days, going down into
Los Animos Valley, travelling about 2l5
miles, and at Nachita river we lost the
trail. Camped two days and started
back. At camp, about twenty miles
from Stearn's pass the cavalry left us,
going a direct route, while we were to
follow up the mountains. Three days
before we arrived in camp We had a
high old time with a regular double
action cycloUe. About / o'clock in the
afternoon, April 10. We heard a low

they guessed We would have a tornado.
