EDITORS TIMES:
I have been a reader of your pa
per from the first number and can
say that I am proud we have such
a paper in Blount County. Being
a farmer 1 have been much inter-
ested and benefited by your articles
on wheat sowing, corn planting,
grass growing and fruit culture. l
am glad to see that many farmers
are profiting by these articles. l
think If you continue them and the
advice is practiced, and the results
given, that Blount County will be
found to have come up in the
amount raised to the acre, as well
as to the benefit resulting to the
soil.

you propose to give us an article on
fish culture. Twas pleased to hear
that, for l have believed that this
branch of business would be profit.

health is duty-so far rs it is in
their power-as much as any other
duty. No woman who suffers from
such disorders is as competent to
manage her household affairs or
bring up her children properly, II
she has any; or to attend to any
other domestic, social or religious

LOuisvillei is said to be having a
boom in business. If she had a
stone road to Maryville thousands
of bushels of grain, hundreds of
horses, cattle and hogs, would go
over it to the South. If she sees
her interests as some others see
them, she will build stone road.
Her old-time prosperity would re-
appear. She has the easiest way to
make her town of any town in the
county.

Wher dissipation, slOth and crime,
Bore undisputed sway.
Can we forget the gray-headed sires,
Who sink by anguish riven,
To see their sons by liquid fire,
To endless ruin driven.
Can we forget the tender wives,
Who'd found an early tomb,
For ah! the partners OF their lives
Had found the drunkard's doom!
Can we forget that noble band
Who feared no creatures frOwn,
And boldly pledged both heart and hand,
To put intemperauce DOWN.
Can we forget the God Of love,
To whom our bliss we owe,
That living water flows above,
And streams Of health below?
And shall that pledge he e'er forgot,
That SO much bliss creates:

some distance from the city, and there
he had complete little printing office, In.
cludlng small job press. Everything ho
wrote was set up in this establishment, aud
the proofs corrected and revised until they
were entirely free from error. Then final
impression was struck of, and this was the
shape In which his "copyn arrived at the

THE CRITIC took tho lead Of all It's
contemporaries in urging the setting
apart of certain days by Congress for
the consideration of local legislation,
and although the allowance of one day
month was far from generous, we
considered the District fortunate IN Sc
curing even this much, and trusted that
our friends at the Capitol would hon
cstly and energetically utilize it in be-
half Of the much-neglectod interests
that awaited their action.
There will be general feeling of
disappointment, however. Mt the out

the District (and we contend that what.
ever concerns the people here is of
equal concern to the District regarded
us the seat of GovernmenD been de-
ferred from time to time, and often on
the most frivolous grounds, but the
session has now arrived so near its
close that much legislation which
should have been disposed of weeks
ago will necessarily have to go over
till probably the heels of next winters
session.
Yesterdays experience was perhaps
the most eXasperating and disappoint-
ing in all the history of District legis-
lation. What was virtually the last
District Day" was in many respects
worse than thrown away. The incor.
poration of the Young Women's Chris
tian Home was a meritorious act, yet
even this, which ought to have been
passed In ten minutes, was allowed to
consume third of the afternoon. The
bill against book-maliing and pool
selling, for which there was no great
public outcry and which might we'll
enough have gone over to make way
for something Of more consequence,
occupied another third; and the rest of
"District Day" (sick) was forcibly cap.
tured by the fllibusters to prevent the
passage of the Cable Railway bill,
which an undoubted majority Of the
House approved aud which majority
of the citizens of Washington would
like to see pass.
The afternoons record, taken al
together, constitutes shameless and
inexcusable waste of opportunities
which the House, by its own solemn
consent, had promised to take up and
improve. 1t must be confessed that
the prospect is not encouraging for our
people. Such a wanton disregard OF
their interests is just cause of com
plant, and shows more plainly thar
ever before the need of new methods ol
