MGMINNVILLE PRODUCE MARKET.
Corrected weekly by Mead & Ritchey.

McMinnville, July IS, 1884,
Not much change since last report
in the country produce market. The
grain market is almost lifeless, there
being but little demand for corn and
still less for wheat. Enough new
wheat has already been shipped to over
supply the Southern mills, and they
are not wanting it even at low price
in its unseasoned condition. If our
farmers would consult their best inter-
ests, they would put their wheat away
clean and dry and keep it SO until there
is market for it. The South must
have bread, and so long as they devote
all their time and energy TO the grow.
ing of cotton to the exclusion of bread
stuffs, they must look to Tennessee and
other States for their supplies. But
while they will need and want our
wheat and corn, they will not pay the
cost of production if we continue to
over supply the demand. Put your
wheat in condition and keep it 30, and
if it is not wanted at something like
the cost of production this year, it will
be all right and ready for the next
year. If you cannot sell for the cost
of production, keep and plant but lit
tie the coming fall and plant that little
we'll. Turn your attention to the
grasses and grow less grain and more
stock. So long as the farmer is cons
PEELED by sharp competition to sell his
products for less than they cost to
make them, he had better let his land
lie idle, and hire himself out to saw
wood or work at something else to sup
port his family.
Corn is yet dull, but possibly little
better demand exists than week ago.
Farmers are not generally compelled tc
sacrifice their little surplus, and they
ought not to do it.
The dried fruit market is not YET
established. 1t may be low in conse'
quence of large crops, but will com
mand fair price if well handled
Eggs are lower, the weather is too
warm to handle them. Other produce

at the breakfast table / give every
one his orders, including my hus-
band, who ne er objects to my do
ing the thinking for the family.
My first advice to men who con-
template going into the saw mill
business is-don't do it, for one in
20 of you has the ability to succeed.
If, however, you are determined to
try it, be careful that you get the
machinery strong and heavy
enough to stand the bad treatment
Of ackward hands. Buy the most
durable belts, no matter what they
cost, for half the failures in our
backwoods mills are caused by con
stant breakage of belts. And
when a complete outfit is secured,
locate where you can get timber
and sell lumber. Keep your ma
chimes in good order, taking spe-
cial caresof those parts out of sight.
Pay your hands in cash, not in
promises, for they work for
the money, and not for any love
they have for you or your
business. When you can't pay,
shut down, stack your lumber and
discharge all hands. Your mill
will neither eat, drink nor wear any
thing while standing still. But
when you do run, work every ything
to its full capacity.

Girls in Odd Stockings.

"Scarlet stockings? Yes, they're
all the CO." said a Chestnut street
hosiery dealer yesterday. "But
this isn't the latest craze by any
means.
"What is the latest fashion then?'
"Why on Saturday morning 1
had three young lady customers
who came in and bought three
pairs of red and three pairs of black
hose. 1 was somewhat surprised
and asked the object. In each case
I was told that it was not consid-
cred the proper caper to wear two
red stockings now, any more than
it was to wear two black ones"
"Well, what on earth were they
going TO doP'
"Wear one of each kinda scar
let stocking on one foot, and a
black one on the other. It's the
fact, l assure you. And the fash
ion is gaining ground, for this morn
ing 1 have had several customers
on the same errand. Black and red
are striking and at the same time
becoming contrasts"

AN OLD MANS ADVICE.

1t is only an old mans advice,
You may take it or not,a AS you choose,
But those who are anxious TO gain
Must also be willing to lose;
And he who is stingy and mean
Can ne'er De expected to find
That others will be unto him
More generous, n oblc or kind.
If Tove be the god that we crave,
Each hour and each moment we learn
The truly afectionate heart
Receives ample wealth in return.
So if you would gain new friend,
Your friendliness Geek to display,
For the nearest and dearest you'll find,
Are those you meet more than half way.
If fortune alone be the prize
You covet, its price must be paid,
And often the gain is much less,
Alas than the sacrifice made.
Yet greedily seeking for wealth,
We eagerly press toward The goal,
So bent upon winning the world
We rashly imperil the soul.
Whatever the race that we run,
Whatever the ,urse that we choose,
We must make up our mind at the start
How much we dare venture to lose.
Or else We may happen to find
That what we have sought for with zest
Was really no gain, but loss,
Of all that was dearest and best.

people of the state and of tbe whole
republic, sold out TO Blaine wber-
ever by doing all they could to make
majo-ities for themselves. This is
what the rail cad representatives
did in Tennessee 1Lav swanned
votes to sN amp the democratic nom
inees for RAILROAD mmissiopers
and in this year ah.ye all others
have put the demoors'ic party in a
position of decalrne an ! decline
that does not represent It's rell con
dition."
The inference, of cpuraa. is that
all who opposed the Savage com
mission were in the pay or in some
manner under the control Of the
railroads. The same thing was
frequently said by unprinclpled
newspapers and demagogues dur
ing the campaign and not deemed
worthy OF notice, hat when the
Memphis Appeal attempts to cast
such bowlder from its christine
habitation. we can but marvel at
that journals gigantic effrontery.
The charge that the anti com
mission men "made n dear' with
the republicans is without warrant
or foundation. IT, is absurdly false
from the fact that the republican
commissioners ran behind their
ticket. 1t is as silly as it is untrue.
The same editorial from which
the above extract was taken laws
down the following remarkable as
sertion:
mo man calling himself a demo
crat has any right to select for his
endorsement and approval part of
the ticket nominated or part of the
platform adopted by state conven-
ton.
This is the doctrine which the
ringsters and bosses attempt to en-
force and the substance of the va
poring drivel of the one-horse pol
iticians who act under their direc.
tion."
No party is a close corporation
and the right of the free American
citizen to scratch whensoever
@AN "HOhSOSNSL uC pled56S can
not be called in question. The
only safeguard against ring rule
and the control of cliques is the in
voter, in other words, the
discreet scratcher. Parties have no
right to do more than promulgate
their established principles and
this thing of dragooning voters into
the support of pet schemes and side
issues that are entirely foreign to
such principles will corrupt any
political organization that attempts
it. Men vote as they please in this
country and the average citizen
will not brook having his right to
do so called in question.
While the Appeal was going
to New York to find para
lei for those democratic voters
in Tennessee who refused to be
tricked and bulldozed into the sup
port of John Savage and his rail-
road commission, the Independent
republicans who rebelled against
Blaine and Blaineism would have
afforded a better comparison than
the one offered. The Appeal has
never suggested that Curtis and
Schurz had no right to reject the
ticket nominated by their party

Jsfferson's Ten Rules.

Thomas Jefferson's ten rules,
says a correspondent, are worth
reproducing for the benefit of the
rising generation. They are:
l. Never put off till to morrow
what you can do to- day.
2. Never trouble others for what
you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money be-
fore you have it.
4. Never buy what you do not
want because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs us more than hun
ger, thirst, or cold.
+. We never repent of having
eaten too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that
we do willingly.
s. How much pain have those
evils cost us which never happened?
9. Take things always by their
smooth handles.
10. When angry, count ten before
you speak; when very angry, count
a hundred

EN- VOYAGE.
HARRIET SMITH.

Whichever way the wind doth blow,
Somo heart is glad to have it so;
Then blow it east or blow it west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best.
My little craft is not alone;
a thousand fleets from every zone
Are out upon thousand seas;
W hat blows for one favoring breezs
Might dash another, with the shock
Of doom, upon some hidden rock.
And so do not care to pray
For winds to watt me on my way,
But leave it to Higher will
To stay or speed me, trusting still
That all is we'll, Gnd sure that He
Who launched my baik will sail with De,
Through storm and calm and will not fail,
Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me, every peril past,
Within his sheltering heaven at last.
Then, whatsoever wind doth blow,
Ny heart is glad to have it so;
And blow 1t east or blow it west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best.

A Long Ride on steerback.

Oxen can be readily trained to be
governed by bride and TO carry
rider. When a boy we had an OK
broken thus as well as a horse.
This was of course done for tho nov
city of it, as there was plenty of
saddle horses on tho farm. The
Fort Worth Texas Gazette gives the
following: "An old man named
Jones rode from Oak Grove, fifteen
miles from here, to a neighborhood
As miles south Of here, ON " ednes-
day to notify his daughter that her
mother was dangerously i'll. He
did not ride a wild and untamed
horse Of the pampas, nor ride in a
chariot, but mounting the hurricane
deck of a two-year old steer made
the trip of sixty miles in sixteen
hours. He started on his return
this morning before the sun was up,
his daughter accompanying him,
riding a pony, while the old gentle
man contented himself with his
faithful bovine. The party arrived
at Fort Worth at Z o'clock last
night, and after some simple re-
freshments and a little rest pro-
ceeded on their way, intending to
make the remainder of the journey
by midnight, thus accomplishing
120 miles in forty-eight hours on
steerback, a feat never before per-
formed. d."-[St. Louis Republican.
The Lebonon Register is naming
Col. A. S. Colyar for a cabinet posi-
ton pays just and well 'merited
tribute to his sterling ability and
answering integrity. He is un-
questionably a reformer and de-
serves recognition. The Register
says:
Among the distinguished sons of
Tennessee none are more thorough
ly and wisely conservative and
freer from the infection of bourbon
ism than Col. A. S. Colyar. If re-
form which has been the battle cry
of the democracy in this contest is
to be made effective, the life of no
man can furnish more ample guar
anty of its achievement than that
of Col. Colyar. Twice has he pu-
rifed the city government Of Nash
vile, and freed it from the worst Of
rings and placed the city govern
ment in better condition than it ev-
er has been. The rout Of the gam
blers was due more to the efforts of
Col. Colyar than any other man in
the state. He has always met all
public questions fairly and square
ly, and the democracy of the south
never had wiser, bolder, yet more
discreetly conservative champion
than he. And yet if Col. Colyar
was made postmaster general for
four years, at least the postal de-
partment would be conducted as it
was in the "purer and better days
of the republic" There would be
no more star route thieying, but
the department would be honestly
and faithfully and efficiently con-
Quoted. While the democrats, who
have labored zealously for the sue
cess of the party, are too numerous
to reward them by official position,
vet could that be a test none are
worthier or more deserving than the
distinguished gentleman whom we
have named.
