The readers OF The Union Signal
who had the pleasure Of making the
acquaintance Of Mrs. Pearson and lis
tening to her addresses during her
visit to the States, will be glad to know
that she safely reached her home in
Nottingham, England, on Christmas
eve.
In re-entering upon her work al
home she has had some brilliant and
enthusiastic receptions. The Noting
ham British WOmens Temperance
Association gave their president a most
cordial welcome in real English fash
ion. The officers and members gath.
cred in strong force for tea, after which
there was the usual speech making
and congratulatory addresses.
Mrs. Pearson in her reply gave a
very graphic account of the grand
work which is being accomplished by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union in the States, of the assembly
in convention at st. Louis, and spoke
in very feeling terms Of the great es-
TEEN and love felt for Miss Frances
Willard, president of the union.
"The Christian Womens Temper,
ance Union of America" said Mrs
Pearson, lis one of the grandest and
most wonderful institutions ever or.
ganized. To give any thing like an
adequate description of its vast magni-
tude is almost impossible, embracing
as it does large number of depart
ments OF labor, and covering the whole
of the United States like vast net
work of machinery. Among its lead
ers are some of the most wonderful
women in the world, first and foremost
being their beloved president, Miss
Frances Willard.
mo woman perhaps ever yielded
such a powerful influence for good as
does this noble, large hearted president
OF the union, and know of no one
who can better grace such an impor-
tant and responsible position. Miss
Wizards name will be handed down
from generation to generation as one
of the great pioneers of temperance
work in America, and following the
example of herself and her noble co.
workers, | believe the time will come
when the women of all nations shall
look upon her hle's work with sweet
and blessed memories
60 love, Sdlu MIS-. 1earSOn, &c
see the way in which these women
honor one another. Instead of re-
serving their offerings of flowers for
the departed, as is the custom in Eng.
land, they in America pay this loving
tribute to the living and honored ones
amongst their workers, and feel sure
that every workerin the cause at home
will join with me in one prayer, God
bless the Christian Women's Temper
ance Union OF America"
After visiting the several branches
of the association over which she pre-
sides, Mrs. Pearson entered upon mis-
SIGN work in various towns, and has
everywhere been received with the
most mbounded enthusiasm. In
some places the largest hall in the
town has been crowded. After visit
ing Manchester and other cities, Mrs.
Pearson proceeds to London to attend
the annGal conference of the British
Women's Temperance Association,
May q and %, and is one of the speak
ers mt the great annual public meeting
held in connection with the confer
ence.

LIFE is a fountain, fed by thousand
streams that perish if one be dried
1t is a silver chord, twisted with thous-

strange that they escape so long, then
that they almost all perish suddealy
atlast. We are encompaslng with ac-

There are trotters (and good ones)
enough in Tennessee, utterly unknown
and unsupported, to fill big space in
the public eye, if they were only edu-
Gated. Our people are very remiss in
training and developing the horse.
Without that they never can be devel-
oped, but, like the rose, waste their
power on the desert air. Even if they
do not attain great speed, they will
more than repay any attention given
them as roadsters and in an increased
value. An instance of this is Annie
W., who WAS thought to be hard to
pass on the turnpike, but her great
powers were unsupported until her
owner put her in training. 1t would
be so with great many others, and
now and then a fine mover would
emerge from obscurity. 1t costs but
little in comparison with the results.
No purchaser ever objected to the adj
dition of training fees. 1t is to be
hoped our breeders will use all their
endeavors to speed their colts while
young, Many good horse has gone
down to his grave unknown, who
might have shed ustre on his name if
allowed the opportunity-Er.

THE Times-JOurnal was the first
paper in the State to say just after the
election that the result showed clearly
that the party needed leaders, brainy
leaders, and its utterance was endorsed
by all the papers of the party that is
not under machine control. Next
year we have another important cleo
ton and unless the present men run
ming the party are not displaced and
sensible men put in their places, defeat
is the inevitable result. Brainy men
see danger and prepare to avert it by
wise counsel and conduct Our lead
ers who have usurped the place have
not sense enough to see the danger
ahead, or if they do they seem to care
more for holding on than they do for
party success. No sensible man can
doubt for moment that the people,
the voters, are opposed to a commits
sion, they have so shown at the ballot
box, yet our so called leaders are clam
oring for another test at the polls. As
certain as it is put IN the platform, as
certain is defeat in store for us.-IFa-

The recent rains have given assur-
ance of the finest crop of corn ever
grown in Tennessee. 1t is marvellous
indeed. Each farmer who visits us
thinks he has the best crop in the
State, and this fact is evidence of the
general high character of the crop
everywhere. When we planted we
hoped for ten barrels. A month ago,
while yet in the power of drought to
destroy it, yet with magnificent out
look, we began to talk, or rather hint,
at twelve barrels. Now, when we are,
as it were, in sight of the shore, our
feet touching the sands of certainty,
we turn up our noses at our first esti-
mates, and think unless we can do
better than that we are doing poorly
Really and truly, however, the av-
erage will amount up far higher than
ever before. The average heretofore
has been twenty-five to thirty bushels
per acre. This year it will reach at
least twenty bushels beyond the av-
erage year. Some exceptional farms
will reach up in the teens highly,
while few claim right out twenty
barrels. A field belonging to one of
our readers, run in clover three years.
had green crop turned under last
fall. This spring he fairly covered it
with well rotted stable manure-kept
under shelter-so rich in ammonia it
was difficult to spread it. 1t was plant
ed about the 18th of April or sooner,
after being again broken up well. 1t
was we'll cultivated with double-shovel,
well thinned, drilled in furrow, and
now it is amazing to see that corn. If
any other crop of corn will reach one
hundred bushels, this will go beyond
it.-NashUiLe Spirit the Farm.
