judicious advertising the counties, char

SOUTHERN LAND EXCURSIONS.

West Tennessee is now on boom of
no inconsiderable proportions. The
first of series of land excursions from
the North, under the management of
Gen. j. F. Merry, general passenger
agent of the Illinois Central Railway,
reached jackson some two or three
weeks since, bringing number of
sturdy, progressive farmers who have
purchased and will purchase land in
that section and make their homes
there. The rigors of the long, severe
winters of the North and Northwest
are driving these people out of their
old homes, and they are seeking the
sunny cline and fertile lands of our
western counties in large numbers. 1t
is not that West Tennessee is more
highly favored in climate, soil and pro-
ductive capacity than other portions of
the State that the majority of these
excurtiOnists are settling in that section,
but it is from the simple fact that the
people of West Tennessee are alive to
the Importance of securing this popula-
ton, and are offering every inducement
and using every facility to secure it,
The farmers and business men of West
Tennessee are zealously and literally
advertising their section to these excur-
sionists, and are using both time and
money in bringing that section of the
State prominently into notice. That
all this will result in great and lasting
good for West Tennessee, no one for a
moment can doubt.
The majority of these excursionists
are thrifty, well.to-do farmers, who
understand the science of farming for
profit, and are fully imbued with the
system of intensive farming" which
means thorough and complete cultiva-

ing the failure of the corn crop, and
considerable excitement was caused by
the fear of a scarcity. This fear was
made available by unprincipled men to
influence the market, and in all the
grain centers of this country the short
age was estimated at 150,000,000
bushels. The department of agricul,
ture has just completed its report upon
the yield of corn the present season,
and shows that the crop of 1883 is the
largest ever grown in the country with
the solitary exception of 1890. 1t
places the crop at 1921, 100000 BUSH

produced in 1880. The following is a
tabulated statement of the yield of
each State.

OUR FRUIT TRADE.

Chattanooga claims to be great
dried fruit center, and so it is. One
of its dealers has handled 100000
pounds this season. Chattanooga is a
city favorably situated in the very lap
of East Tennessee with river and rail-
road facilities from every direction.
McMinnville is an interior town of less
than 1000 inhabitants, and makes no
great pretentions to being fast bust
ness place, yet as fruit center, will
compare favoraly with even Chatta.
nooga. One firm in McMinnvilIe has
handled over 10000 pounds of dried
fruit this season, and that too, without
a travelling agent, besides large guam
tites of green apples. Other houses,
and individuals have handled consid-
cradle quantities of both Areen and
dried fruits. We believe that it would
be safe to say that Warren and its ad-
Joining counties, Coffee, Cannon,
DeKalb, White, Van Buren, and
Grundy, have produced this season,
with their half crop, not less than one
and half million pounds of dried
fruits. From these same counties
there has been, and will be shipped and
hauled away not much less, if any,
than 100000 barrels of green apples,
besides large quantities that have been
and will be distilled into brandy or
account of a want of convenience to
market. With the aid of evaporator;
and cheap transportation, Warren anC
her adjoining counties will become the
center of attraction for both green anC
dried fruits. We have the soil and The
climate, and with proper care and at
tention, can make Tennessee one of thu
best and most profitable fruit growing
States in the Union. Warren is per
haps the banner fruit growing county
in the State, and with proper care thu
business can be made very profitable

In another column will be found a
letter from Gen. j. F. Merry, Of Man
chester, Iowa, to Commissioner A. j.
McWhirter, on the subject of cream
cries. This letter will be found as APP
plicable to our section of the State as
to West Tennessee, and our section is
perhaps far better adapted to creameries
than West Tennessee. If the conven-
ton which Gen. Merry suggests should
be held, as it doubtless will, it would
be capital idea for all the counties in
East and Middle Tennessee to send del
egates to it. They could carry with
them a two.toh mission, that of adver,

of which Warren forms the center is
particularly favored for the develop,
ment of this industry, for both as a

THOUSANDS FOR SHOWS, MOTH
ING FOR ROADS, p

AT a reasonable estimate, Barretts
show, which recently visited McMinn-
vile, took Of the peoples money, not
much less than SIS, 900. Thesh proper
must have received $4,000 and the
sharpers and swindlers not less than
81 600 more. One man, good clever
hard working old man, lost $3.50. He
was told, and made to believe by
stranger, dressed as common county
citizen, that with the use Of $3.50 he
could make 500 ont of the show be-
fore night. His talk was so pretty and
plausible that the old man went to the
Peoples Bank and borrowed $3.50 for
the sharper to operate with. The old
man lost his money of course. This was
one instance of swindling. There were
many others of less importance prac,
ticed on our unsuspecting people. The
people not only spent their money and
time and felt the humiliation of being
badly humbugged, but the demoralz
ing influence on the community was
even worse than the loss of time and
money.
We suggest as a remedy and pro,
lection against shows in future that our
county and city authorities place the
taxes on shows so high that they can
not come. If the present laws are not
sufficient to give county and corporate
authorities power tC tax high enough,
the next Legislature should so amend
as to give such power that they may
protect The people against such stupen>
dous humbugs. The money and time
spent at the last show would build one
good road from the county site to the
county line. Good roads are greatly
needed in this county aud ought to be
made; talk to the people about build
ing them and they are mum. Plenty
Of money for shows but none for roads.
The year 1883 will soon pass away and
the year 1884 begin. We would be glad
to see our County court levy a tax suf
ficient to encourage the making OF
good roads all over the county. A
system of taxation may be adopted
that the people can pay without feeling
it, and within two years we can have
good roads and bridges without oppres
sing any citizens. We must have bet
ter roads and we must have tax tC
make them. Let our authorities see
that we do not spend our money t.
shows, at least until we have guoC
roads and bridges in every direction
We must have them, and the peopl,
must and will cheerfully consent to b.
taxed to build them, if our COUNTY
Court will have the courage to wall
up to the full measure of their dut,
and begin judicious system of taxa
ton fol that purpose. Let the worl
begin with the new year, and neve
stop until we have good roads an,
bridges wherever needed,
