Wonder if people will waste the
great corn crop, or rush it off to market
at nominal price as was done in 1883.
1t will be remembered that in that year
of Wonderful-year-corn it sold from
twelve to fifteen cents a bushel up to
March 1, 1890. Railroads were block
ed with the enormous loads of it.
Emergency rates were made in order
to get it to market. Warehouses over
flowed in all the grain centers so that
word was sent out to ship no more.
There was craze to sell; and yet be-
fore corn grew again the price was
forty to fifty cents bushel. Farmers
should remember that lesson and rs
member the two past years OF failure.
Store the corn in good dry cribs. Don't
rush it off at sacrifice rate such as is
liable to prevail in the next six months,

HANGED IN EFFlsy
Was Governor Peter Turnsy by East
Tennesseans, =.

The people of Unicoi county, ii
tie eastern part Of Tennessee,
hanged and burned Governor Tur-
ney in efiigy at Erwin, the county
seat, on the 10Th inst. The people
.of Unicoi feel particularly indig-
nant, because the investigating
committee threw out 10 out Of IL
districts in, that county, three
fourths of the vote of the county
being for Evans. As a method of
showing their disapproval of the
proceedings, and their contempt of
Turney, they decided to burn him
in efigy.
A gallows was erected at Erwin,
and a dummy was procured and
dressed as much after the fashion
of the governor as possible, and the
ceremony of hanging him in ehigy
was gone through with, the sheriff
of the county officiating. After
the drop fell the efigy was satu-
