Sheen Raising.

We rotice from our papers that
the raising of sheep seems to be at
present al all important subject with
Western and Eastern farmers and
that a great many blooded sheep are
being sold in the country. Car loads
are, being imported from Europe
only to find ready buyers here.
Maury County is sadly behind in
this important and remunerative
live stock industry, and yet there is
no county under the SUI that is so
well adapted for the rearing If fine
flocks a. the Middle Basiu of Ten
ness e. Nor do we believe the dog
is as yrCat a nuisance as many say;
we bel eve that in many instances
where sheep have been destroyed BY
dogs it may be traced to a
lack of proper care of their t1Ocks,
aud the proper housing or peDning
of the same, on the part of the owner
OF the fiOcks. We do not mean to say
that dogs do not de stroy many
fiocks; but we do mean to say that
much If this destruction might have
been stopped hal proper diligence
been used. Many farmers have an
idea that She should still be at
tended to as they we've in the days
of Abraham, " herein an abundance
of latitude was the chief considera
lion; and in this is probably the
cause If 80 many flOcks being de-
stroyed by rowing dogs. To be prof.
table u flock must bs watched and at
tended to like herd or cows or any
other live stock. But little COM
plant comes from England on ac-
count of dogs, says Iowa Turf.

was less Colonies aud more prlVAtes.
In every battle the privates were re-
duced in numbers and the Colohels
were multiplied. When seven or
eight or ten regiments were consoli-

in fact, then all the balance OF the
commissioned officers from fourth
Lieutenant up, were commissioned
Colonies, and when the War ended
everybody was surprised to find out
how many Colonies there were III the
army who commanded regiments?
when the truth is, il every post
bellum Colonel had commanded
regiment of half q dozen privates
" it'll mus Ike t., we would have whipped
the Yankees world without end.
Lee surrendered about hVe thou
sand privates at Appomat OK. All
the balance of his once grand army

Johnston did not even surrender,
he lust quit, because all of his army
had got to be Colonies and there
were no priva.es to do the fighting

were consolidated into one brigade

TROTWOOD'S TALK.
Continued from First Pago)
Are Farmers a Thinking Glass!

To Mr.. John Moore Jr: In an
swer to the above question, say no,
Why? Because they Jump at con-
illusions and then adhere to them in
spite of all arguments to the contrary !;
when few moments in concentrated
thought will convince them of their
error. They claim that locust post,
put in the ground while green will
last as long as one seasoned before
setting and claim that an old dry
cedar Will last as long as green one
filled with the resins and oil. They
will from time to time go into the
woods and cut beech trees which
produce valuable crop and leave a
sugar or elm standing which never
producers any mast. The sugar con-
teammates the pasture with growing
seed in the spring time, makes a
dense shade and never increases in
value. But the most thOughtless
thing that many are guilty of IL
thinking they should vote for the
Third party ticket because they be-
long to the Alliances. l am afraid ali
such parties have gotten into the
knights of Labor Union and gotten
the creeds mixed; you had better
think again before you quote ALI
auce as an excuse for voting the
Third party ticket.

An Absurd Proposition.

1t is of interest just now, WHEEL
Nancy Hanks is undisputed queen OF
the trotting turf, to note the frantic
eff Irts that are being made in certain
quarters to argue that her record,
which was made to pneumatic sui
KY and which Is 2:074 on an oval
track aud 2:05A on a KITE, is not as
good as the 2:0S34 Of Maud 5. made to
an old fashioned sulky. 1t will be
remembered that Maud 5. trotted her
great mile at Cleveland and Ito the
establishment of everybody except
perhaps themselveA) certain people
are prating about the difference be-
tween the Cleveland track and oth"r
tracks, the difference between the
pneumatic hu.ky and an old fash
toned one, and uLtering lot OF other
baiderdssh that is simply childish.
One man even goes so far as to sug-
gest that the Kentucky TrO5tiag-
Horse Breeders Association give y
nurse for Nancy Hanks to II OF against
ihe record of Maud S., 2:OS34, hitched
&c an Ol1-fashiOned Eulky. lhrre Il
very little doubt that in case the
Kentucky association offers Mr..
| DuDle enough money he will drive
Nancy II al ks for them to an Old
rash.0 sulky, just as Mr.. Schaefei
would be willing, If anybody PAID
! him literally for his time, to play
! billiards on an Old-fashioned table
with six pockets and a wooden bed
However, most people would assume
that the man who paid Schaefer for
playIng BILLIARDS on a wooden bed
table and put up large purse to SET
| Nancy Hanks trOt to al Old-fashioneo
sulky was, to say the least, foolishlJ
liberal with his money. These peo'
pie who are keeping up such scalp
dance about the old-fashiOned sulky
the Cleveland track, and "similal
conditiOns,p are making those who
are obliged to resd their productions
very weary. They seem to forge
that only twelve months ago, On'
wear back, in 1891, Nancy Hanks an(
every other trotter in tue world Were
going to an ordinary sulky aud tina
under precisely less favorable con
ditions than prevailed when Maud :

The meaning of d j this l., that the

combine on candidates TO run against
Jones and Ricke is; but that they
could not agree on candidates Tor

MR.. EDrroR,-As the 9Th of No
vember draws nearer, political &C
tIvity will increase. Our Democratic
friends should remember that they
have alert and schemIng enemies TO
defeat and that the main strength
and reliance of these enemies is in
the country. 1t is in the rural dis
tricts that they are making their
great efforts TO defeat the Democratic
party. 1t il there they are sowing
the seed of discomfort and corruption
and it Is there that we must prove
that none but sound Democratic
seeds can terminate and ripen.
The minds OF the people are open
to conviction. Many good men,
whose minds are being poisoned by
the lies OF demagOgues, are remote
nom pOstOifices and have no means
VI informing themselves on pubiic
questions. Others are unable to
read and must rely on Information
received at second hand. these are
the peoile into whose ears the p0liti-
cal foe is pouring his poison thu
distilled and if not cOunteracted by the
pure remedy of Democracy, many a
good Democrat may be mIsled by the
Republicans and Third party Jesuit -.
The Executive committee can not

that the interest in trotting races Is

structed on the same model as the
one used by Nancy Hanks when che
trotted to her wonderful records,

Is the opinion OF the English driver
that the small wheels with pneumatic
tires are far superior to those that
have the largest wheels.
