CANE RIDGE.
Crop, Matrimonial and News Notes
from VanBuren County.

Cane Ridge, Tenn, Sept. lO.-Poli-
tics is the exciting and all absorbing
theme of the day.
Revival meetings are in vogue and
splendid results are reported.
The continued rain is preventing
much fodder from being saved by
our farmers; and we note that much
larger per cent of the corn crop is be-
ing cut and shocked than usual in
this vicinity. Corn, though general
ly good, is not so good as was expect
ed few weeks since. 1t was also
damaged considerably by the late
wind storm. Fruits of all kinds are
exceedingly fine and until the present
unfavorable weather, were being ex-
tensively dried. Winter apples, and
especially wine saps, are worth spec
ial notice; the quality is fine and crop
unusually large.
Some few weeks since we had
three RUNAWAY" weddings in this
locality the same week, since then
cupid has either been asleep, stunned,
or on deadlock; or has become dis
couraged and left us to our fate, for
we have not had single wedding;
nor is there any prospect for one
soon. .u
III. G. Gotten, our worthy mer-
chant of this place, while sojourning
on Cumberland mountain the other
week, succeeding in capturing alive
three large rattlesnakes; and has
them on exhibition. They form
subject of curiosity and general COM
ment for all who see them. Henry,
we learn, has been offered consider
able sum of money, by the "young
braves, who could sum up courage
enough to fight a rattlesnake-if
they had him confined-for the privi-
lege OF killing his snakes. But no,
he is going into the snake breeding
business and cannot have themkilled
for any sum (?) lr.,t.
Our free schools will, in a few
weeks, close for the present term,
having lasted from 2 to 3 months this
year. Our public schools, both with
regard to teachers employed and
length Of term are anything but satis-
factory. But the amount of public
money will not warrant our directors
in employing first-class teachers, who,
of course, demand very large salary.
Could not our school laws be so mod
ified as to give us more school mon
ey? REPORTER.

To the Teachers Of Warren County

Our State Superintendent has been
visiting several parts of the State, and
he reports that most of the schools
are doing well, and that there seems
to be more interest manifested con-
cerning their prosperity than we usu-
ally see among people who patronize
no other than free schools.
In many counties teachers are
holding county meetings, and teach
ers who are young and inexperienced
are benefited by listening to the in
structions of those who are older.
Warren county ought not to be be-
hind other counties. People expect
that our free schools will accom-
plish a great deal, and do vast
amount of good.
The people will not be disappoint-
ed if our teachers do their duty.
In order to assist our young teach
ers, and our old ones also, teach
ers' meeting will be held in the High
School building in McMinnville, or
Saturday, Sept. %, 1888, commencing
at $3.50 p. m.
Every teacher is requested to bring
to the meeting Rays Arithmetic
third part, Pinneo's Grammar anC

The object of the meeting is to tall
freely about the best manner of get
ting pupils interested in their studies

The Fog Problem.

Our Cane Ridge correspondent
writes that he has not yet found the
solution to the egg problem submit.
ted last week. The problem was as
follows: ~
Three farmers bring eggs to town; (;
A has 10 d.zen, b 80 dozen, and G
80 dozen. They all sell out at the
same rate per dozen, and each one re-
allies the same amount Of money for
his eggs. How much did each get,
and what was the rate per dozen?
Now for the solution. While they
sold at the same rate per dozen, OF
course it must beunderstood that they
did not sell in the same proportions.
The first sales were made at one
seventh Of one cent per dozen. At
this rate A sold I dozen, realizing l
cent, B % dozen for 4 cents, and C 40
dozen for cents. When these sales
had been made the price of eggs adj
vanced to cents per dozen. A then
sold his remaining dozen for 9 cents,
B 2 dozen for cents, and c l dozen
for 8 cents. Add these to the figures
realized on the first sales, and it will
be seen that each farmer realized the
same amount, viz: 10 cents.

To the Sth cavalry it will be one of

These figures represent the popula-
ton strictly inside the corporation
limits. The cotton factory and other
suburban settlements which really
constitute part of the town, would
run the figures up to something over
1900. In 1870 the population of Nc
Minnville was 1172, and in 1880 it
was 1244, an increase of only u in
ten years, while in the last eight
years we have gained 419, being an
increase ola fraction over thirty-three
and one-third per cent in that time.
This is quite healthy growth, and
all the indications are favorable for
still greater gains in future. We
think it more than probable that our
population will climb to 5000 inside
of the next ten years.
