Dogs VS.. Sheep.

To the Standard.
Statistics show that Tennessee has
100000 worthless dogs. What each
dog eats would make 100 pounds of
bacon, which in the aggregate is 3d.
100000 pounds of bacon. This would
abundantly furnish meat for 100000
able-bodied labprers for the entire year.
At ten cents per pound the bacon is
worth 100000, which is equal to
1877, 800 pounds of silver dollars.
This would make "a two-horse loads,
and make wagon train more than
half mile long.
These worthless whelps prevent us
from raising 100000 of sheep, the
mutton and wool of which are worth
100000. Thus our blessed dogs
cost us really S9,OOO,OOO, counting
sheep killed, while we spend not more
than 100000 to educate our chill.
dren. Thus it is three dollars for dogs
and one dollar for children Keep it
before the people: three millions for
dogs and one for children. Throw up
your hats and shout when you think Of
it, 1t is not the beautiful voice of the
turtle that is heard in the land; it is
the triumphant howl of the whelp i'm.
periously demanding more and better
mutton. E. l.. GARDENHIRE.

The Lowell of the South.

Asa Faulkner has purchased half in
terest in the east side of Caney Fork
Falls, and is now joint owner with w.
B. Hill, Esq, in that valuable tract,
including the water power on the east
side. There is no estimating the value
of this fine mill site until once har-
messed and utilized. Mr.. Faulkner
has recently had competent engineer
from Boston to make a correct and &C.
curate estimate of the power of these
falls, which he finds to be equal to
2,4O0 horse power, all the season, sufli-
cient to propel any machinery. Mr..
Faulkner thinks these Falls, with their
natural advantages for manufacturing,
have gone idle long enough and isgoing
ahead with the work of building pre-
paratory to putting in machinery. He
has given out contract for 100000
more brick to be made this summer
ready to begin to build. We wish Mr..
Faulkner and his important enterprise
success. He deserves it. We would
be glad to see sufficient capital come tt
his assistance to make his enterprise
what it should be, "the Lowell of thu
South"

this be as it has always been, a union

friends buried in the church yard. Let
the church not belong to one or two
or even few individuals, but let all
have and feel an interest in the church
and then the building will be kept re-
paired and perpetuated.
We hope to see the building COM
pleted this fall and the grounds around
the church, including the cemetery, en-
closed with good substantial fence.

old and leading families Of that vicinity.
Many of the first settlers of Warren
county and the State, with their fami-
lies to the second and third generation,
are buried there. Let neat house
be built, and the grounds nicely en-
closed and otherwise made nice and at.
tractive. The whole work will cost
but little when equally distributed
among all interested. Let the com'
mittee push their work, and let every
citizen, especially those whose friend;
are buried there, take lively interest
in the work and aid the committee

On THE night of the 18th inst, the
bank ledger Of ex>treasurer Polk was
stolen from the treasurers Office in the
capitol at Nashville. A reward of
$4,000 was offered for the book by
treasurer Thomas. On the morning of
the 10th Judge Pitkin g. Wright
found the book at his door with the
following note: "Pitkin Wright: Give
the book to Mr.. Washington and make
your own terms" The book was re.
turned to its place in the treasurer'
office, and it is said no alterations OF
erasures were made in it during the
time it was out of place. 1t is said tc
contain important evidence in the

HUBBELL
REVERSIBLE PLOW
It is the Best Plow made in
the United States,
For THE FOIInWING RFAsnNs.

FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
l. 1t is the simplest pillow made for the amount and
kind of work it will do.
2. 1t has no parts that will get out of ORDER any
more than common side-hill plow
g. 1t has no pieces than a common pillow.
L. The plow be landed when in use as well as
when not in use.
g. Do not have to leave the handles at all to change
the amount that it will run to land
G. Do not have use the wrench or any tool to
set, or change the width of furrow.
I. Can be changed instantly. to cut any width of
furrow.
s. Can be set instantly to cut any width of furrow.
g. Can be run to the land more or less, running
either way while in motion. (AIl farmers know that
it great point be able to cut the same width of
furrow running both ways without regard to the team
crowding off or in the furrow. and the Hubben Pillow
will do it every time; and this cannot be done with
any other plow)
10. 1t works as well on level land as side-hil.
IL. 1t has a movable cutter attached in such
manner that by merely drawing the plow back it will
free itself from sticks and 1t also keers the
pillow from getting of the ground by stones getting
between the pillow and cutter. In such case the
cutter will fly up and free itself and not throw the
pillow out of the ground.
IL. 1t is the easiest draft pillow made.
Is. 1t leaves the soil in the very best of shape to
harrow in. namely. pulverized and light.
a. 1t holds easier than any other side-hil plow.
l5 Points are chilled the whole length of the cut.
l6. 1t has shoe or bottom that be replaced
when worn. by any farmer.
II. All our plows ground smooth and are ready
to work when they leave the shop.
More than one hundred of these plows have been
from the shop within the last year and we have
| never heard a word of complaint about enc of Them
but have lots of the best testimonials in their favor

UNDER the law the new board of
education will organize tonight by
electing Its officers for the ensuing
year. The amended act passed by
the Legislature authorizes the election
by the board of a superintendent of
public schools for the term of three
years. In our opinion, and we believe
we express the sentiment of the
patrons of the public schools In Oma-
ha, the board could do no better than
to elect Professor James for three
years at this meeting. Everyone con-
cedes his fitness for the position,
and he has now become attached to
Omaha and Is doubtless willing to set.
tie down for life among us. To leave
this matter open will pave the way for
intrigue and impair the usefulness OF
the superintendent by holding over
his head the constant menace that he
may be obliged to look out for another
place.
