clarksville Tobacco in Louisville.

There must be a lunatic loose some
where in this county, and his friends
ought to hunt him up and have a
guardian appointed. Any farmer
who will send a hogshead of black
wrapper to Louisvillecan very easily
be convicted of lunacy, and such a
thing, it seems, has been done. The
Courier. Journal of the 18th accounts
for one, and we don't believe that
the great CD. would lie for one hogs
head of dark tobacco. One, how
ever, seems to be all that has shown
up on the wild and woody breaks of
Louisville, and the boys make as
much of it as if they had found a
mares nest. The Courier Journal,
speaking of the circumstance, re
marks: "Darks were very strong
to-day. For a hogshead of Tennes
see dark leaf Zoe was paid, which is
the highest price for darks this sea
son. 1t was of a Wrappery charac
ter and shows the strength of the
Louisville market for GAINESVILLE
wrappers" Now if there was any
quantity of this kind of tobacco SELL
ing at Louisville it would be a splen-
did opening for pin-hooking, but
alas there are not many crazy farm
ers in this State. Loose dealers are
jumping at such tobacco for ten cents.
Leaf and Tugs, all round, and very
common wrappers, are selling on the
board for IL, II, 123 and 10 cents-no
selections. We heard a country deal
er speaking of a crop for which he
paid ten cents round, which had
been inspected by foreign agent,
who remarked that the leaf was
worth twenty cents, and if it didn't
bring that he ought to roll it into the
river.

THE COUNTY JAIL.
The Condition OF This Institution as
Found by the Grand Jury.

The grand jury has made the fol-
lowing report to the judge of the
criminal court on the condition ofthe
county Jail:
"The grand jury inspected the
county Jail in body on Feb. II and
found it in good condition. The
prisoners seem to be healthy and
well provided with food and cloth
ing necessary to comfort.
"We would suggest that the court
call the jaiIor's attention to the ne
cessity of keeping a more dilligent
watch over the prisoners in view OF
the recent several attempts to break
Jail.
"We also recommend that the old
portion of the Jail building be better
lighted and ventilated, and think
that if the walls be newly white
washed it would add much TO the
sanitary condition of the premises"
The report is signed by w. A..
Shelby, foreman of the grand jury,
and is now on file in the circuit
court clerks office.
The report of Sheriff Station made
at the same time shows that there
were then confined in the Jail thirty
three prisoners. Eighteen of them
are State prisoners and fifteen belong
to the county.

WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

For eight long months College
street has been torn up and impassa-
BILE from the river to University
avenue. There is said to be treason
10 all things;' but after careful con-
sderation we fail to find il in this
kind of management. When the
sewer was laid on Commerce street
the mayor, then Capt. Crusman, and
the street committee made a con-
tract by which only one block should
be torn up al a time, and that that
block should be entirely completed
before another could be touched by
pick and spade. Should not the same
consideration have been shown the
College street property owners? In
case of fire they are entirely helpless.
And is it unreasonable that at the
end of eight months of this kind Of
thing they should raise dismal
howl and, with a wicked frOwn, de-
clare the whole sewer business, city
fathers and street committee, so far
as the rights Of the people are con-
cerned, a delicious delusion" and
fascinating fraud?"

The recent rise ia the river has
been the cause of bringing up sew
eral suggestions in regard to bridg-
ing Cumberland river. 1t is a well
established fact that during high
water GAINESVILLE merchants suffer
from a contraction OF business, but
bridging Cumberland river would
not relieve matters much. In the
first place where would you put the
bridge? And in the second place
where would the money come from
to build it? Edmondson's ferry is
the most central point, but thi-
would not be satisfactory to the peo-
pie living about this point. They
would have to go all round creation
to get to it in time of high water
over rough roads that can hardly be
travelled in the summer, much less
the winter. They could do nothing
hauling their produce to market, for
the very simple reason that by the
time they could make the trip
around to GAINESVILLE night would
catch them. Then the people living
below Edmondson's ferry would b.
in the same fix as those above. The
only people the bridge built at this
point would benefit are the ones
living Immediately on Edmondson's
ferry road, and those living in Dick
son county. Just as soon as
the Mineral road is completed the
Dickson county people will have
means of reaching GAINESVILLE any
way and will not need the bridge.
The only remedy for the existing
evil is a good system of levees and
better ferry boats. Levees could be
built, at a comparatively small cost,
that would put the road beds above
high water mark.

MORE TEXAS FRtIr NEEDED.

Farm and Ranch says the amount Of
money sent out of the state for fruits, that
ought TO be raised in Texas, is enormous.
The demand is increasing faster than the
supply. Apples from Arkansas, Kansas
and elsewhere are pulled into every con-
siderable town in the state by the carload,
and each carload costs an average of about
of about fifteen bales of cotton. While this
is going on Texas has large area Of mag
nifcent apple-producing country in the
eastern and middle section of the state, and
along Red river and its tributaries. Peaches,
grapes, pears and plums from California,
New Mexico and the centratWestern states
are for sale on every street, and money
made by raising cotton, or money made
some other way. must go beyond our bor-
ders to pay for these articles which have
become an everyday necessity. 1t is just
such economy as this that wounds our peo-
pie in tender place. 1t gives them, and it
gives TO all Texas, what may be
called adynamy of the pocket whatever
that is), which has become chronic and calls
loudly for cure. A few philosophical
ing their level best to show the people what
they ought to do about it. E. w. kirkpat-
rick Of Mckinney, Texas, is the leader,
closely followed by number OF frst-class
men, who know what the matter is. They
have organized a number Of local societies
and state society for the purpose Of en-
couraging, by wise precept and practical
example, the growing of fruits to supply
our home markets; and they go so far as to
say that Texas ought to raise fruit for ship
ment, especially very early and very late
varieties, to places where the growing sea-
son is shorter. Farm and Ranch fully
agrees with these men. They ought
to be encouraged, for the are doing a good
work for the state, and people who sympa-
thize with their objects should help them in
every way possible-by joining the horticul-
tural associations, and by needing this sal
utary advice.

we have hay, straw or something Of the
food. This is particularly SO in the case Of
sheep.
There is growing demand in this coun-
try for good mutton, says Mr.. Harris. For
long time mutton did not figure with US as
q generally popular meat. Beef and pork
commanded higher price. Now mutton is
generally higher than beef, and judging
from English experience this will continue
to be the case. The demand for good lambs
is phenomenal. Is seems almost impossible
to fully supply the demand. Lamb is not
only intrinsically good and nutritious
food, but it is easier to keep in our hot
climate than beef. Lamb may not be SO
profitable to raise as the mature mutton,
but it will always be profitable enough to
justify its production. Some writers men
ton lamb production as a losing business
by this they mean that keeping the lamb to
ma turity would be- more profitable than
selling the lamb, but not that there is no
profit in selling lambs.
Sheep is among the easiest stock to raise
under favorable conditions, but to make
success of it everything must be caused to
work out just right. The ewes must be
healthy, strong and thrifty. If there is to
be any rough usage whatever the merino
should be the main, dependence, as that
breed will stand rough usage much better
than the fine English breeds. 1t will not
do to expect profit from the fine English
bre eds under half starvation.

HARRIS ON SHEEP.

The well known Joseph Harris contrib
utes an article to the American Agricul-
turist, in which he says in substance that
sheep, hogs and poultry are of more impor-
lance to the farmer than too many farmers
are apt to consider without due weighing
of all the pros and cons in the matter. To
certain extent they are the scavengers of
the farm, SO to speak: that is, they gather
and convert into values very much that
without their work would be wasted. But,
Of course, these gatherings are Lot enough
for them-they must have something more
TO make them entirely profitable, especially
If we handle them on scale large enough
TO render them Of special Importance. But
we can often buy an advantage food, such
as cotton seed meal, malt sprouts, bran and
SO on, that will fill up the local deficiency
and make taem very profitable, provided
