Good Butter Cows.


F. M. Smith, Esq, informs us that
he has two COWS, Jennie and Rose, the
former Jersey and the latter three,
fourths Alderney, from which his good
wife, on an average, is making 4pounds
of butter per day. This is 2S pounds
per week for both, or an average of IA
pounds from each. We beheye Mr..
Smith thinks Rose, the three.fourths
Alderney, is the better butter COW of
the two. This is certainly a good rec
ord, especially when we consider the
fact that they are fed on dry feed.
They are not for sale.

A Deserved Compliment.

Chattanooga Times.
"The Nashville & Chattanooga rail-
road hes always enjoyed the reputation
of making the best connections of any
road in the South. People along the
line of this road set their watches by the
passenger trains. The officials of the
road yesterday received notice from
the postofice department in Washing>
ton that their road had the second best
record for good connections for the
past year, of all the roads in the Uni
ted States. The line which stands
first is road only eighty miles long in

New sawmill.

Asa Faulkner, Esq, who owns the
west side, and an interest in the east
side of the great water power, Caney
Fork Fails, among other Improvements,
has just finished putting in splendid
Sawmill at that place, with capacity
of about 10000 feet per day. This is
fine locality for sawmill, there
being an abundance of fine timber con-
venient, and the mill near the railroad.
This is one of the finest water powers
in the State, and Esq. Faulkner has
prepared the way for some enterprising
company of capitalists who may desire
to manufacture.
Mr.. Faulkner is man of much ex.
perience and great enterprise. If he
could call back 10 or Is years, Che is
now 82), he would build up such man
ufacturing interests at Caney Fork
Falls as would give employment to
many hands and much capital and
prove great blessing to the people Of
this and other counties. We natural-
ly feel great interest in its ultimate
success.

The Other Side of Texas.

A gentleman writing from Green
vile, Texas, to a real estate firm of
this place, has the following to say Of
the Lone Star State:
81 have fully resolved to leave
Texas, and have decided to go to War
ren county, Tennessee. l left South
western Virginia two years ago. 1t
may seem somewhat strange for man
to emigrate from Texas to Tennessee,
yet it is true. | do not claim this a
good farming country aside from cot
ton, and frequently the boil worm is
very fatal to that. Of course portions
of Texas, and more especially the
frontier, is fine stock country. But
parties with small means, halfway
honest, will be bankrupt in two years
stock stolen out, strayed out and
died out. So regard it not the poor,
but the rich, mans country. Many
are misled and deceived as to the ad.
vantages offered to the poor man in
the West, even to those of fair means.
A few, Of course, grow rich, or are
successful, and from these the great re.
ports of the West are made; but they
will never tell you how many come
with means and fail because of bad
crops, sickness and various mistortunes.
1t is true, Texas gives liberal home.
stead, but that does not give credit
or money, for many own only a small
part of the exemption. If man is
poor here he must mortgage his crop
before it grows before he gets anything
to live on. Then he is forced to sell
on the first market, which is low-con-
trolled by the mortgage men, the mer-
chants. | see more forced sales here,
ten to one, than l ever saw East, and
things are sold far below their actual
value.
Legal rate of interest is s per cent
and may be extended to 12; but am
creditably informed IS to 25 per cent
is often exacted and paid.
"New emigrants are often deceived
and made to believe they can accom-,
plish certain things by expanding their
business. The consequence is failure,
as often in farming as in anything else;
the result-sheriff sale, and all is lost.
i knew one poor man, last spring, who
had but one milch COW. He wanted
to make cotton crop. A cultivator
is very essential for making cotton.
He mortgaged his COW, then worth $50.
Cow and cultivator both sold only paid
for cultivator. This is only a short
sketch Of Western life. l write for
the benefit of poor pen at home in the
East. j. w. RICHMOND"
