Rev. Joseph Myers.

Franklin County News.
Rev. Joseph Myers, of the Metho>
dist church, now on the Salem circuit,
preached on that circuit some forty
years ago, when part of his congrega-
ton were Indians on Grow creek. He
began preaching at that time with a
tolerable good suit of clotes, but could
do no good until he had the sisters to
spin and weave him homespun suit,
with striped vest of blue and butter
nut color, and which some country
tailor caused to be fearfully and won
derfully made. b t,na
In that suit he carried the gospel
over the hills and mountains with
great success.
He is now carrying the same old
gospel, and we hope under better cir.
cumstances. i..

THE BUTTER WE EAT.
Valuable Suggestion to Tennessee Far
mers.---How the Gilt Edge"
Article is Made in New
York State.
McMinnville Nov. 26, 1883.

c. w. Charlton in Knoxville Chronicle.
ANY one with half an eye can see
that Knoxville is poor butter mar
ket. Today it is exceedingly dull at
twenty cents per pound, when it ought
to be not less than twenty-five cents.
Indeed a 6rst-class article ought to
bring thirty cents. From indications
the market can be glutted with a CON-
paratively small quantity. 1t don't
seem to be the fault of the quality of
the butter, for in looking over the sup
ply furnished it looks well, has rich,
yellow color, and no doubt palatable.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
butter makers should begin to look out
for another market where they can
command more satisfactory prices. In
doing this they must put their butter
in proper condition for shipping.
Much depends on this--indeed every.
thing. 1t won't do to send it of in

more beautiful than the orange tree
loaded with fruit, but as to the trees
being ever bearing it must be a mis-
take. 1t is the opinion among many
who have not been in the orange re-

everbearing-that is, blooms and bear:
all the year, and so do some lemons

An Old Democrats Opinion.

Cor. American.
Our people are considerably set back
by the reported decision Of the court
on the subject of liquors manufactured
of the products OF the soil of Tennessee.
Article 2, section 80, of the Constitu.
ton of Tennessee, says no article manu-.
featured of the produce of this State
shall be taxed otherwise than to pay
inspection fees. "iH
The revenue law passed by the last
Legislature in naming the things ex-
empt from taxation, on page 104 of the
last acts, says that all growing crops of
whatever description that are products
of the soil in the hands of the producer
and his immediate vendee, and manu-.
featured articles from the products of
this State are exempt from taxation.
How can the brandy manufactured
from the orchards of Tennessee be sub
jected to privilege tax by our Consti-
tuition and laws? Or does the decision
of the court include the manufacturers
of brandy in the decision? These are
questions that are daily asked and are
causing some uneasiness and anxiety.
Warren county is very much stirred on
this subject just now, and we hope for
favorable explanation shortly. am
not manufacturer Of either brandy or
whisky-never have been, but have a
sympathy with many of our good citi>
zens who are small fruit growers and
brandy manufacturers, who will be en-
tirely ruined if they have to pay the
tax of wholesale dealers for the year
1880 and up to now.
