THE KNOXVILLE AND NASHVILLE
Railway COMPANY.

Another step mas been made to-
wards the construction of what is
commonly known as the "Fentress
County Railroad" and there is little
doubt that before many weeks are
over we shall see a line commenced,
that will eventually tend largely to
develop the resources of the Cum
'berland Plateau.
The preliminary organization of
the Nashville and Knoxville Rail-
way Company" has been completed,
and its charter filed in the Office OF
the Secretary of State, as provided
by law. The object Of the Company
is to construct a railway from the
most convenient point on the Gin
oinnati Southern Railway in Scott
or Morgan county, to the Cumber-
land river,at or near Carthage, Tenn,
with a branch from its main line
northerly to the Kentucky State
line; also a branch southerly to
Sparta, Tenn.
The corporators named in the
charter are Cyrus Clarke, w. Scott
Allen, Charles G. Schenck, VIM. G.
Currie and Claiborne Beatty. Mr..
A. Crawford, of Pennsylvania, and
other well-known and prominent
railroad men from the North, are
interested in the construction of this
road and its branches, doubtless
with a view to develop the large field
ofbituminous coal inFentress county
which for quality, quantity ano
availability is not excelled, if, indeed
equalled in Tennessee, or any othel
Southern State.

that Section.
EDS RECORD UNION: Being an atten-
tive reader of your valuable paper, and a
pioneer of northern California, am much
pleased to see the interest taken by you in
bringing this portion of our State into
notice, and sincerely hope the efforts Of the
immigration Association will meet the
success which they deserve. Nodoc county,
as your readers are aware, lies in the ex-
IRENE northeastern corner Of the State, and
the chief industry is stock-raising. Most of
the county consists of high table lands,
covered with the finest bunch grass, and
capable of supporting ten times the num-
Der of cattle horses and sheep now ranging
on them. Water is abundant everywhere,
and it would be hard to find place where
there are not either springs or running
water within two or three miles.
The hay and grain lands lie in the valleys
of Surprise, Goose Lake, Pit River and Big
Valley, and although most claimed, are not
nearly all cultivated not onc-tenth the grain
and hay being produced that might be if
there was market for it; and were the
country stocked as it should be there would
be market.
All vegetables and fruits except those OF
a semi-tropical nature are produced in
abundance, apples and small fruits being
exceptionally good, both in size and flavor.
With railroad communication with the out
side world, the country would be rapidly fill
ed up but we can do without that very well if
we had more stock -raisers. and there is no
business which will yield larger returns.
Cattle, horses and sheep always sell read
lily, and the market is right at home Num-
bers of stock-buycrs come here every year
from the lower country, and are glad to
pay remunerative prices right at the ranch
er's corral for beef cattle or large horses.
Hay land is cheap and hay can be put up
at an expense of about s. per ton, and it is
usually considered that, one year with an
other, one ton will winter one COW or horse.

Az HoxEsr COMPASSIONATE following

Az HONEST CoNFEssIoN.-The following
is from an editorial in the Stockton Herald
of Friday last. Coming from city, the
papers of which have so persistently mis-
represented the State Fair, and sneered at
and ma!igned it, it is an example OF re-

evening to an audience of about one hun
dred very few of whom were farmers vet
this is called an agricultural fair. The4act
is, it is not an agricultural fair in any just
sense of the word The farmers OF this
county care nothing for the fair and
neither bring their products TO it or attend
il themselves. There is one thing certain.
and that is, rlore attention must be paid to
horticulture, viticulturc, agriculture and
the mechanic arts before the fair can be
made a success. The experience of the
State Fair this year shows that there are
