Tuesday morning was bleak and
cold-almost ice-and our people
were shivering and respondent be-
cause the visitors had caught a
blizzard down here where they ex
pecied balmy sunshine. They
laughed at us, however, and didn't
think it was cold Some of them
had come from six inches of snow
and hard frozen ground. The
gloomy day had much to do with
keeping farmers away from town,
although there was a goodly num-
Der here.
At 10 o'clock the visitors and
people assembled in the chancery
court room where several farmers
had brought specimens of corn, po-
tatoes, apples, ETC., and spread
them out. Although the exhibit
was very limited, the visitors ex-
amined them very closely. They
knew that these things would tell
better than words the strength of
our soil and the advantages of eli
mate. They were greatly pleased
too. Che meeting was called to or
der by Hon. Jno. G. Lester, repre-
senting Mayor Allen who was ne
cessarily absent trying a lawsuit,
who made a neat speech welcoming
the visitors and extending to them
the Inequalities of the town. He
introduced Hon. T. B Harwell who
spoke in behalf of the farmers as
sociation, delivering an appropriate
and excellently conceived address,
warmly welcoming the visitors and
reciting the prime advantages of
our climate and soil and the prin-
cipal institutions of which we claim
the right to boast.
Col. Gates next spoke, represent
ing both the visitors and the PEG
pie, and gave many important facts
and suggestions looking to the
practical carrying out of the de-
signs of the movement. He was
followed by Or. r. B. Crawford of
Wayne, Neb., a distinguished look
ing gentleman and man of con
siderable means, who expressed
warmest appreciation of the kind
ness and welcome extended. He
was earnest in his praises of our
climate and agricultural advanta-
ges. He was followed by Mr.. Paris
Henderson of Republic City, Kan
sas, who was particularly felicitous
in expressing his good opinion of
our country and its good advanta-
ges over his own. An hour was
spent in mixing and getting ac-
quainted, and then the visitors were
assigned to farmers to carry them
out through the country and show
them the inside of farm life in
Tennessee. All who desired were
carried into the country in different
directions, remaining scattered and
busily examining the country until
10 o'clock yesterday morning when
they took the train for Columbia.
We heard many private express
sions from them and they were all
earnest in saying that this was a
splendid country. Mr.. Jno. Z. Cor
lett, representing four newspapers
appears to be the leading spirit. He
is a rich farmer and has lived in
Nebraska "a years and raised q
large family, and now he says that
this country can raise every thing
that his can and more and that the
soil and climate combined make ii
the most desirable be knows of.
The seeds are sown for good work
in this matter. Mr.. s. p, White
was untiring in his efforts to show
them what the country is. He tool
several to his farm and they were
shown exactly what they might d.
in seeing what he had done here
He will through his agency and eff
forts be a mighty factor in consum
mating the work just begun.
The visitors before they left me
and prepared this
