A POSSIBLE VISITOR.

In another column we copy an
item from the Mitchell Mail dat
ed August 18th but really should
be Sept. 18th. We expect Col.
Melcher will visit Sequachee as
his daughter Miss ANNA R.
Melcber Is a stakeholder of this
Company, and although we do
not know it, We believe he comes
with the party to locate them
here if they are satisfied with
the conditions.
Col. MelCher is a brother OF
Mr. W. L. Melcber, but as his
history shows has led a more ac-
tive lie, we'll evidenced by the
fact of his undertaking UGH a
long journey at this time.
We shall be delighted to well
come the old veteran, for veter~
an he was, and we ask everyone,
when his party reaches here to
accord him and his party all the
attention in their power.
Dacotah as a home ls not ap.
! preciated on account of the hard
tuck settlers have had there
Here is a place wuioh is at least
more congenial and where crops
can be depended on. Ifw can
get any amount OF he kind Of
people Col, Malcher and his
family represent, we shall be
very fC rtunate.

Apples and = OtatOes.

Corn is not the only agricultural
product that has broken the crop
record this year, Our crop of app
pies is expected to exceed 100000
bushels, and according to some es-
Inmates it will exceed 100000
bushels, or about 100000 more
than the largest number ever, hereto
fore, produced in a single year.
Potatoes, too, have broken the
recork this year. SO says the New
York Press, an authority on the sub
ject. The largest crop, heretofore
was that of 1891, estimated at 225,
100000 bushels. The smallest since
1885 was that of 1879 little over
1916 90, 600 bushels. The average
for the nine years is 173,0OO,OOO
or about 100000 more than last
years crop. This years will probab-
ly exceed 23O,OOO,OOO bushels st.

The Tennessee Centennial Elk

started. The vote OF the people
of Nashville to authorize the sub
scription of 100000 stock on
Thursday virtually removing any
doubt as to the financial resour-
ces for it's construction and the
selection of don. j. w. Thomas
as its president. will guarantee
it's good management.
We have no doubt but that
It will be a success, in fact it
must be, for the honor and credS
it Of the state. 1t 10 true that
Nashville will be the greatest
gamer in a speculative point OF
view.
But Nashville 1t not the whole
state, therefore it becomes the
duty of the citizens of every
county to make the best exhibit
of the resources within their
limits that they possibly can
but it rank nonsense to expect
the smaller counties to tax the
people to do it.

WHAT AND WHERE rs
SEQUACHEE?

This was the question over
heard the other DAY by the Ed
tier Of the South Pittsburg
Statesman as expressed in the
following paragraph.
"a few days ago the editor
heard a Chattanooga.ite a k.
"Where and what is Sequachee
anyhow" Promptly came the
answer; "Sequachee is the centre
of the industrial south and the
garden spot OF East Tennessee"
Right for once, brave and no.

fair, sweet Sequachee it has al
ways been, and it proposes to be
even more so in the future As a
matter of geographical location
it is As miles from Chattanooga

Sequachee, please-but in reality
it Is ouly % miles 'as the crow
flies, which is u lucky thing for
the crow, Sequachee ships all
manner of good things in to the
people of Chattanooga to con-
lsume at THEN election banquets,
and in return gets empty egg
cases, credit memOTandums,
worn out due bills, and worthless
checks. oequachee has also "a
! fountain from which seven beau>
tiful jets of water play. Chats
,anoogA has a horror known as
the 'Fire~man's Fountain, or
some other equally as barbarlc
name, which is u perfect delirium
of green, yellow and red.
Sometime i'll the near future
we will begin to ship coal to
Chattanooga. We have only
lO8 OOO,O tons Of it packed
way in our war, house in the rear
OF tie town, which Chattanooga
can't produce the like, aud pa
per that don't send off and ask
the Editor of the New York Sun
how he likes it.
We are so well fixed IN the
matter OF pure water that we de-
not have to get beer to drink,
We suspect that if we offered .
Chattaucoga-ite a glass of our
ice cold spring water, he would

MUTILATION OF DOGS.
Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operation
 Known "Worming."

Ear and Tail Cropping and the Operation
 Known ''Worming."
 The fashionable mutilatiOns to which the dog has been subjected are three in number-ear and tail cropping. and tho strange operation known as "worm- ing" Though the law prohibits tha performance of the operations which lead to these mutilaticns. yet at least two of them are still carried ont surrep- titiously, and tho third, "wormin:. may also bs practiced. At any rate have seen it done in my young days. It and tho tail cropping can boast of venerable antiquity. and they also had their raison d'strs in q superstitious bs- lief in their efficacy in preventing mad ness or rabios. So long as the time of Columolla. the Roman writer on agri- culture, the mutilation of the dogs tail was q popul1r and favOrite procedure As he tells us in his De Re Rustica" that tho shepherds believe that if. on tho fortieth day after the birth of a pup, the last bono of its tail were bitten off, the SineW believed to bo a worm) would follow tho piece, after this the tail would not grow and the dog could not become rabid.
 This superstitious notion has prevailed for ages, and may still be entertained in certain quarters. However this may be, the fashion of removing a portion of the tail of many breeds of dogs is quite common. and if it is dono with view to the prevention of madness. it is at any rate considered most desirable for these animals to have a short, blunt tail, because it improves their appearance. Some dogs have scarcely any tail left. have seen Erooms and dog fanciers bite o1 puppies tails as q matter of busi- ness, and some of these people have shown me q fragment of sinow attached to the AmputAtsd portion as tho worm in the tail. '
 Itshould bs noted, in speaking of this fashion, that . monSrel dog has been termed a "eur" CLatin curtus. or crop tailed, because it usually had tho tail shortened, and according to ancient for est laws . man who had no right to the privilege of the chase was obliged to cut off tho tall of his dog. on tho plea that, if dog has no tail to act as 6 Fudder, he cannot hunt game, Mine. teanth Century
