things especially. Pulverize your
ground deep and thoroughly before
planting. After planting, it is only
necessary to keep a few inches of the
surface soil well stirred.
When we cultivate corn with deep
blowing, we often disturb the roots
and do it great harm. When your
corn is laid by, the ground should be
as nearly level as possible to prevent
washing, When the land is thus pre-.
pared, and thus cultivated, if the land
and seed are reasonably good, you can
hardly fail to make some corn, even if
the season is droughty. The value of
one stalk to the hill is best known to
those who practice this plan. When
only one stalk, that stalk frequently
has two good ears, always one, while
not always two ears when more than
one stalk in the hill. Some of the
most successful corn growers in this
county haYe found the one stalk three
feet apart to make more corn than two
stalks planted four feet apart each way.
Every farmer should make his own
corn unless he can grow something
else more profitable; but no farmer
should attempt to grow corn for mar
ket on poor land. 1t is question of
some doubt whether he should attempt
to grow his bread on very poor land.
He had better make an acre or two
good if he can, and plant no more, and
depend on hiring out for bread than to
plant land that will not pay for cult
waiting. 1t is much better to let such
lands be idle.
But any farmer with any pluck and
energy, even if his land is poor, can
manage to make an acre or two rich
every year. 1t is certainly poor poll
cy to cultivate any crop that will not
pay expense of cultivation. Farmers
should see to it, that they make at
least enough to pay expense.

In Memoriam.

Flora Virginia Cain was born in
McMinnville, Tenn, Sept. 80, 1851,
and died at her home in this place
June 18th, 1884, aged 80 years, 8
months and Is days. June 7th, 1873,
she was united in marriage to George
S. Chapman, who died May 7th, 1881.
She was educated at Cumberland Fe-
male College, McMinnville, Wards
Seminary and Hume's High School,
Nashville. In the fall of 1865, at the
age of IA years, she made profession of
faith in Christ and united with the
First Cumberland Presbyterian church
in Nashville. When she gave her
heart to God she gave her all to Him,
especially her musical talent, which
she possessed in an eminent degree.
For some years after her profession she
was organlt of the church at Nashville,
and for more than twelve years she
held this position in the church in this
place, and was ever faithful in the per.
formance of the duties of this trust.
In token of affectionate remembrance
of duty faithfully performed, the organ
of the G. P. Church in this place was
draped In mourning on the day of her
funeral, fitting tribute, since the keys
of the instrument will respond no more
to her faithful fingers.
She fell victim to that insidious
and fattering destroyer of human life,
consumption. Her nervous system was
a complete wreck, her mind at times
unsettled, and her suferings were in
tense during the whole of her illness,
which extended over a period of more
than six months.
In reference to her spiritual condi.
ton, she ever expressed herself as at
peace with God, and that death had nc
terrors whatever for her-even more,
that she was anxious to depart and be
with Christ. Her death was very
calm and peaceful.
She leaves an aged and afflicted ia
Their, one sister, one brother and two
little children to mourn her loss, all o.
whom have the profound sympathy o.
this community. G. T. s.

ships of the campaign, DIR Lindsey
has sought and obtained from the war
Department at Washington, where
they have been carefully preserved,
over $500 confederate muster rolls,
from which he has been able to give
an account of those who fell in the
service-where they fell and where
buried. The work will also be inter-
spersed with numerous and appropri.

tainly prove very interesting to those
who had friends as we'll as those who
participated in the war. We are not
advised when the book will be ready,
but so soon as it is, notice will be given
that all who desire can procure copy.
We bespeak for the work a success
commensurate with its merit.

CONFEDERATE HISTORY.

AS is well known to many of our
readers, DR.. j. Berrien Lindsey OF
Nashville is, and has been for more
than two years, engaged in collecting
and writing history of the part taken
by the Tennessee troops in the late
war between the States. We are
informed that DR.. Lindsey has spared
neither labor nor expense in the prepa>
ration Of his great work, and when
completed will be very valuable and
interesting as part of the history OF
Tennessee. 1t will contain many in
teresting sketches from and of promi'
nent officers and men who took part
in that bloody and disastrous struggle
for the independence of the South, a
cause they honestly and concientiously
believed to be just, and for which
thousands of the most noble and gallant
young men of the south sacrificed their
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1884-06-21
JUDGE ALLEN.

The bold and fearless manner in
which Judge Allen, OF the Nashville
Criminal Court, has so faithfully dis.
charged his duty in suppressing crime
in his district by enforcing the law, is
really refreshing to a moral and law
abiding people. The recent endorse
ment of Judge Aliens efficient service
by an almost unanimous nomination
for second term is not only well
merited compliment, but speaks we'll
for the morals of the city of Nashville.
If every officer, and especially the cus>
todians of the law, would know and
dare to do their duty, the good and
law abiding citizens would sustain them
in their efforts to suppress crime and
immortality so alarming in many of our
towns and cities. The laws are for the
protection of the good and the punish
ment of the bad. 1t is the sworn duty
of the officers of the courts to execute
and enforce the law, and he who has
not the courage to do this should re-
sign the duty to some one who has.
The safety and happiness of the people,
as well as the perpetuity of the civil
government, depends upon the enforce
ment of good and just laws. Give us
more men like Allen, Mcconnell, Can
trell, and others, who know and dare
to do their duty, and evil doors will be
brought to grief and punishment.

SEED WHEAT.

Wheat, to succeed well, requires not
only good land thoroughly prepared,
sown early and put in well, but the
seed should be of good quality. We
are led to believe that some of our
farmers are not always as careful as
they should be in the selection of their
seed. We have recently heard farms
ers say their wheat was not good this
year on account of not sowing good
seed. Last year our wheat was not
good in quantity or quality, and con-
sequently too much poor wheat was
used for seed. 1t is good rule to
grind or sell your wheat when not
good and buy your seed. Don't risk
any inferior article, Harvest is at
hand and now is the time to select your
seed. Let it be free from cheat,
cookie and other filth you wish to avoid,
before cutting. When thus made
clean, cut and thresh and keep separate
from your other wheat. To do this
will cost you little extra trouble, but
you will be amply repaid in succeeding
crops. When you have thus selected
your seed, put away carefully where it
will keep dry and free from the rats,
and you will thus avoid the evil conse-
quences of sowing poor seed. If you
have more of this select seed than you
want to sow, you can always sell for a
good price to your neighbers. By the
practice of this plan you will soon have
your entire crop free from filth and be
able to sell all your crop above the
ordinary price. The same plan will
hold good in many other seeds. 1t is a
law of nature that like begets like, not
only in seeds, but in stock also. By
a little attention to these things we
may elevate the standard Of our pro-
ducts and make farming more profta-

CORN CULTURE.

Corn, like nearly every other species
of vegetation, delights in rich, deep,
mellow soil. To grow corn successful
ly, the land should be reasonably good
and thoroughly plowed in the late fall
or early winter with good pillow, fols
lowed by subsoiler.
There are two good reasons at least,
in favor of subsoiling. The deeper
you pulverize your land, the less likely
it is to wash away. 1t will also hold
more moisture, and in case of drowth
will stand the same much better than
when shallow plowed. Sod land, (no
other should be used for corn except
new ground) should be plowed in the
late fall or early winter, so as to expose
the soil and cut worms to the severe
frosts of winter. 1t not only destroys
the worms, but the land is bettered by
freezing and exposure to the atmos-
phere. After blowing and subsoiling
deep and well, leaving exposed to the
winter frosts, cross~break we'll in the
early spring, when neither too wet nor
too dry, harrow well with an "Acme"
harrow, allowing the harrow to 60 deep
so as to thoroughly pulverize and mix
the soil. At the proper time lay off
three feet each way and plant with
good seed. About the time the, corn
is ready to come up, take alight, sharp
toothed harrow and go over it thorN
oughly, narrowing so as to loosen the
top of the ground and destroy any
young weeds that may have started
After the corn is well up with two
blades, take an "a" harrow, with
front tooth removed, and go over
again. Keep the top of the ground
stirred every ten days with your cult
vators, until the corn begins to tassel.
At the proper time, the corn should be
thinned to one good stalk to each hill.
In cultivating corn remember two

DON'T HURRY TOO FAST.

From recent number of the Broad.
axe, we notice that the prohibition
movement is trying to assume new
phase. In the paper referred to, Maj.
W. j, Sykes is out in long article ad.
vocating constitutional convention to
enact prohibition, and the Broadaxe
seems to favor the scheme. In sup>
port of the proposition it is argued that
we can get prohibition two years sooner
by this method than by the plan of a
simple amendment, and that the money
saved to the State in that length Of
time by prohibition will more than
double the cost of a constitutional
convention. While all this may be
true, yet we very much doubt the wis
dom of such move. Prohibition, to
be efectual, must have the hearty en-.
couragement and support of large
majority of the people. 1t will pro.
duce such a revolution in both business
and social relations that the people
must be educated up to the new idea
before a sufficient majority of them
will give it that support necessary to
the success Of the movement, and the
time required to enact prohibition by
the ordinary process of constitutional
amendment is none too long to devote
to the thorough education of the pop
ular mind up to the new order Of
things. If the matter should be sub
mitted to constitutional convention il
would stand good chance of being
contaminated by the company of politi
cal schemers which would more thar
likely defeat the measure. If the TEN
perance people really desire prohibi'
ton, they had better go slow and sure
hold every foot Of ground they gain
and not be so overly Jealous in theil
anxiety to carry their point as to adop
some measure which will kill the goose
that lays the golden eggs.
