THE decision in a case recently before
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts will
be of interest to all who have to do with
newspapers. A petition was filed for the
disbarring of a Mr.. Cowley, and the Bos-

him. He brought suit for libel, and the
defense was that it was privileged pub
lication. The Superior Court sustained
this view, but the Supreme Court now re-
jects it, saying that only the reports of
cases actually on trial and the decisions
of courts are privileged publications. The
eI pdrte papers on file are in no sense
privileged matter, and by the publication
of them a newspaper makes itself liable to
a suit for libel,

Temperance Reading.
TIE GRoe-SELLER,s pREAM

A correspondent of the New York Observer
some weeks since asked for piece with the
ABOVE title, which was published in the early
days OF the Temperance reform. That paper
has received the following copy in the form of
handful. 1t bears the name of DR.. JeWett
as author: 1888
The Grog-seller sat by his bar-room fire,
With his feet rs high as his head, or higher,
Watching the smoke, as he puffed it out,
That in spiral columns curled about
yelling his face in its tleecy fold,
As lazily up from his lips it rolled,
While doubtful scent and twilight gloom
Were slowly gathering to I'LL the room.
To their drunken slumbers, one by one,
Foolish and fuddled, his friends were gone,
To wake in the morn to the drunkard's pain,
With a bloodshot eye and a reeling brain.
Dr0wSily rang the Waterman s cry:

Yet the host sat wakeful STILL and shook
His head, and winked, with knowing look.

The fools have guzZled my brandy aud vino:
Much good may do them-the cash is mineI'
And he winked again, with knowing look,
And from his cigar the ashes shook.
" He, hel the yonlers are in my net;
have them safe and III fleece them yet. -
There's Brown, what a jolly dog is he;
And he swills the way like to see.
Let him dash for awhile at this reckless rate
And his farm is mine, as sure as fate

FLOWING FOR OATS.

Our object being to improve the
land, we are now turning under with a
No. 3 Blount plow green coat of
clover and weeds, which the pillow thor
oughly covers up. In this condition,
we will allow it to remain uDdisturbed
with plow Or harrow until February.
Then we will cross pillow, apply 100
pounds of Homestead Fertilizer per
acre, after putting on all the barnyard
manure we can on the poorest places
will thoroughly harrow in the oats
with an Acme, SOW ] of bushel of
clover seed per acre and roll.
When the oats begin to turn, we
will NOW them for hay and allow the
clover a chance to grow. The clover
and weeds turned under now will hold
the soil from washing during the fall
and winter.

THE WORLDS EXPOSITION.

Having been commissioned by the
Hon. A. j. McWhirter, commissioner
for Tennessee, as assistant commission
er for Warren county, to the Worlds
Industrial Exposition to be held in
New Orleans, La, from Dec. LIST, 1884
to May 31st, 1885, we respectfully re.
quest that the citizens of Warren
county take lively interest in pre-
pairing and contributing of their vari.
Gus products of the field, garden, orr
chards, vineyards, forests, mines and
works of art, including those of the
ladies, so as to aid Tennessee in max
ing grand display of her great and
wonderful resources in the Worlds
Exposition,
The office was rendered us without
solicitation, or even a knowledge of
the same, until commission was re-
ceived. At first we felt unable and
entirely incompetent to give the mat
ter that attention and work necessary
to make it success, and came very
nearly the position. But
feeling that ev,. ""ty and every
individual in the State should assist
Com. McWhirter in his untiring efforts
to place Tennessee in the front rank of
the States, we have determined to do
what we can to facilitate the important
work. We all feel, or should feel a
State and County pride in this matter.
This generation may not again have an
opportunity like this to bring so prom
inently before the world our natural
advantages as States and counties.
Warren, in many respects, claims, and
Justly too, to be one OF the Leading
counties in the State, and we hope to
see her so in the coming great Worlds
Exposition at New Orleans.
Such information as is necessary will
be furnished fer the preparation and
transportation Of all articles intended
for the Exposition. With the hope
that every citizen in the county will
become interested in the work and
lend helping hand, we accept the po
sition and will do what we can to make
both State and County favorably con-
spicuous in the Worlds great show.
Respectfully,
