The cellular tissue is perhaps the
most important of all the elemen-
tary organs of plants, because it is
the principal agent in their addltio-
nal development. In fact, what is
called growth, is rapid increase
of the cells, and the whole process
of growth in plants consists in its
essential elements in continuous
propagation of cells of this kind;
whence the number of cells becomes
multiplied beyond calculation, nay,
almost beyond credibility. The eel
lular tissue of plants has been COM
pared to the flesh of animals. The
functions of the woody tissue of
plants are to give strength to the
vegetable fabric, and to serve as a
medium for the passage of fluid from
the upper to the lower extremities.
The functions of the roots are to
fix plants in the earth, ard to alb

issue, Was Somewhat surprised to
see that the Democrats of this coun =
ty had held a convention. As no
notice was received, this part of the
County was not represented
SO far as the appointment of
Williams and Wilson, colored Demo :
Gratis, on the subcommittee is con-
cerned, we heartily agree with the
convention: and their being the
same men, who were driven fro IN
the polls in 1884 with threats Of
hanging, and not allowed to vote
makes it the more appropriate.
l am not posted as to who the
County committee or the Chairman
were at that time, but we hope the
present ones will make little more
effort to procure tickets, SO tina
Democrats, wishing to vote, will moi
have to write their ballots, as they
had to in 1884.
Yours truly,

NOTES AND COMMENTS

On Tuesday last the largest and
most representative Republican
Convention ever held in the State
was convened in the hall of the
House of Representatives at Nash
vile at noon. The Convention was
called to order by Samuel Watson,
Chairman of the State Republican
Executive Committee, and Thomas
II. Reeves, of Washington County,
was made temporary, and after
wards permanent, Chairman.
A discussion as to whether
straight ticket of five or two be
nominated for the Supreme Bench
ended in favor of a straight-out he
publican ticket, and the following
persons we're put in nomination:
VIM. Baxter, Samuel Watson, j..
A. Warder, Noble Smithson, W. w.
Murray, W. Marshall, W. Randolph
John Ruhm, Hugh Kyle, L. Brown,
John Walker and G. Andrews.
The following were nominated:
w. M. Baxter, Knoxville; j. A. War
der, Shelbyville; Samuel Watson,
Nashville; w. W. Murray, Hunting
ton; W. w. Randolph, Memphis.
All the nominees are men OF abb
lily and popularity. 1t is regarded
as the strongest possible ticket that
could have been selected, and the
Democratic candidates will have t.
lock to their laurels. The distrlbu
ton of candidates over the mos
porulous cities and districts in tn
State is also considered extremel
favorable to the Republican noml
nees. Baxter has served for lengt
of time as attorney for the EaS
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgi
Railway. Warder is U. S. Dlstrl(
Attorney at Nashville Watson is a
ex-State Senator. Murray is an eA
State Representative, while Rar

The other evening we were talk

advantages of the Ell Paso railroad
One of the gentlemen said he had
given the road and its prospective
route considerable attention and
study. BY measurements, he thought
the road would be fully $50 miles
shorter to Kansas City and the east
and would run through one of the
richest stock countries in the west
1T will save no little sum in freight
and shrinkage, by this $50 miles,
said the speaker, "and will be big
benefit in several ways"
Another one of the three spoke
up, upon our asking what it cost pei
head to ship to Kansas City frJn
their ranges, and about what the
shrinkagc was: "It costs between
six and seven dollars around to shiE
stock east under the present circum
stances, and beeves leaving the
ranch in good order will shrink fully
200 pounds. Of course, you mus
understand this 200 pounds is off tn,

from the ranges to Bernal, the ship

Fall-SowinE AMI Its Man. Advantages
Practical Directions.

HE0CtaS0i DhCStsonAs
I have for years past adopted fall
sowing as in every way preferable to
spring sowing, and the seed is sown
alone and without any foster crop to
rob it of food. light and air in return
for the very questionable shelter af.
torded. Shelter is required only when
the seed is scattered on the surface and
not covered with soil, and the weak
rootlets are sprawling on the ground
IN the effort to find place to enter,
and the tender seed leaves are waiting
for the roots to get into the soil to feed
them. Then one days hot sunshine
upon the unprotected rootlets kills
them, or few dry days cause them tc
perish, and the disappointed farmer
finds '.the seed has failed to catch.'
On the other hand, when the seed is
properly covered in the fine rich, mel
low soil. the roots find their way to
their food at once. and being well sup
oiled with moisture, dry weather and
not sun don't hurt them.
An oat or rye stubble may be pre-.

is first we'll dressed with manure, pre-
pared for it, made fine and partly de-
composed. This is plowed in by lap
burrows. set at an angle of forty-five
degrees and not turned over flat. The
blowing should be eight inches deep. il
the soil is well enriched to that depth:
and if it is not it is better not to try to
put down the land to permanent grass
at present, until it is adequately fertile.
As soon as the land is plowed and
while it is moist and pulverulent it is
thoroughly narrowed, first along the
burrows and then diagonally across
them, until the field has been covered.
This method secures thorough mix
ing of the soil and the manures, and
gives three separate workings, which
bring the land to fine mellow and yet
compact texture. well adapted to the
reception of the very fine seeds of the
various grasses.
The ground is made ready by tn.
first of August when the seed is sown
alone; or if it is thought better to give
some shade and projection, a pound
per acre of turnip seed is sown with it.
The seed is covered in with light
harrow having short teeth not over
three inches long, sloping back at an
angle of sixty degrees. A harrow so
made passes over the surface smoothly,
tearing g up nothing from under it; and
as the teeth sink in the soil the frame
Of the harrow is dragged over the
surface. smoothing it and covering
the seed perfectly to a sufficient
depth and no more. From
great many experiments with grass
seed, l have concluded that one inch is
the best depth to have it covered. At
this depth the roots are well developed
before the spire appears, like hair.
almost invisible on the surface, and dry
weather has no injurious effect upon
them. This is the great advantage of
this method of seeding-Henry Stew.
