One of the best signs of the times
is the interest manifested by the
farmers throughout the South, but
particularly in Tennessee, in farm
organizing for social and business
assistance. When the farmer is
prosperous everybody is doing well.
The farmer is at the foundation of
business and development, and while
there is no class of people who are
more benefited by combinations and
associations there is none who seem
less able to maintain such; they
start well enough, but soon fall into
the hands of the smooth talking,
curb-stone farmers and self-cOnsti-
tuted leaders, and the last state is
worse than the irst.-AHisaa,

Nasty in the South
TOUR OF OBSERVATION IN
THE SOUTH.

MR.. d. r. LOCKE (Nasby), the editor Of
the TOLEDO BLADE. and MR.. ROBINSON
LOCKE, will make tour Of the Southern
States, commencing on or about October 18th,
1883, and continuing during the Autumn and
Winter, the object being series Of letters de-
scriptive Of the whole South.
These letters, which will appear weekly.
will be entirely non political, their object be-
ing to place before the people of the whole
country, especially the half million readers of
the BLADE, such facts as are necessary to
proper comprehension of the resources Of the
| South.
| The great South is entering upon an era of
development that in the course OF few years
will work wonderful changes in population and
general wealth. What the Southern States
need, more than anything else, is that its ad-
vantages in soil, climate, forest and mineral
wealth be known and understood, to the end
OF dlverting thither its proper proportion of
the millions OF people coming into the country,
and the millions more from the North who are
seeking new homes. In the North, more is
known Of Germany and France than Of the
southern States.
The TOLEDO WEEKLY BLADE has the largest
circulation Of any paper published in the
United States, and these letters will appear
regularly in its columns. In fact, the letters
from the South will be its great feature for the
coming year. The Importance to the South Of
a work like this can hardly be over estimated.
The letters will not be confined to the regu-
lar tourists routes, nor to description Of
what the regular tourist writes about. Messrs
Locke will visit interior points, remote from
the much -frequented lines Of travel, they wll
investigate, personally, soil, water-powers
forests and mines, business facilities and adj
vantages. the progress made and making, rail.
roads. public buildings and works, everything
in short pertaining to the material develop
ment Of the vast country south Of the Ohio ant
Potomac.
Those who have followed the work Of tn
NJ ssrs. Locke in their two years and e half il
Europe, will understand their method OF get
ting information, and their manner df treat
lnent.
These LETTERS FROM THE
SOUTH" will commence in the ToLEp
WEEKLY BLADE about November LIST, and wi
continue probably year--at least until tn
subject is exhausted.

EDUCATION AND THE SOUTH.

Vuc Ooutu Is utCollllllS CLoIouSHly
aroused on the subject of education.
Heretofore she has made compare
lively little effort in that direction,
except in certain localities where its
beneficial effects are plainly felt.
1t is true the Southern States have
several fine colleges and schools
but these are as a general thing
accessible only to the wealthy, the
poorer classes having no facilities
worth speaking of for giving their
children good, practical education.
These are the ones for whom good
schools should be provided. In ev-
cry country the working classes, the
bone and sinew of the land, should
be educated, and elevated from the
condition of mere serfs, to that of
an intelligent, thinking people. The
lives and property of all will thus be
rendered mere secure, the laws will
be more rigidly enforced, and a
more peaceful and prosperous state
of things will exist.
There are in the South, 4,l54,125
males over twenty-one years of age.
Of this number, 4lO,55O whites and
944, 424 blacks cannot read. 1t is
no wonder that the intelligent peo-
of the South are getting worked up
on this question when they see what
an obstacle such large number of
illiterate persons are to the progress
of the country as we'll as hindrance
to all good government.
The South has a brilliant pros
I, pect before her; every day large
iron and coal mines are being opened
up, railroads built and factories
D started. A diversity of labor i.
thus being brought about. without
which no country can ever becom,
y really prosperous. The great secre
e of the rapid growth and develop
IS ment ofthe North is the varied in
dustries of her people and her gooe
e schools. The South is beginning t.
te realize this and is Fastening to fol
: low her example.
m All these things cannot be brough
: about in day; it takes both tim
and money to accomplish them
it is very foolish to oppose Fedora
}. aid to education for fear of cen
: Trailing tendency. The govern
: ment need not run the schools.

 Here in Nire mia, we are as peculiarly situated as regards weather dis,uI bances as we were during the late war, when the forces of one side or thc other occupied our territory and influenced our destinies.

Now, Virginia has no ambition whatever to influence the weather of other states or coun,rles-she only asks tha, hers be let alone and if she is to be con- tinually subjected to these outside climatic influences, the question might be ap,ly put: Has Virginia climate of her own Anyhow. had we TO, as we'll give up what we call our climate. as we did our State Rights. to the general government, and ie, II worry over 1t in the future.
