About This Section of Country and Its
Wonderful Possibilities.
West Tennessee is the natural
country for small fruits and vege-
tables, and more attention should
be given this industry in Benton
County. A few have given a part
of their attention to vegetables, and
inevery instaucethey havereceived
better returns for their labor than
they did from their corn, cotton and
peanuts. Lands near Camden are
well watered and what is said Of
this locality can be said of the en-
tire county. Good land can be
bought for from $40 to S25 per acre.
Fine timbered land can be bought
for from $5 to SIS per acre.
Wherever proper effort has been
made these lands have proven to be
very productive, convincing even
the most skeptical that no business
in the world is so remunerative as
good farm conducted on scientific
principles. Let every farmer raise
enough Of all kinds Of products to
supply his family and stock, and
raise fruit, vegetables and livestock
for the money crop. Diversified
farming is economical, because it
supplies your family with all that
soil will produce, and it improves
your farm all the time. If the far
mers from the North and Northwest
who are coming among us will ac-
complish the same amount Of work
and use the same methods Of far
ming they do there, their returns
will discount any III that country
of billiards and cyclones.

One result Of the recent wide
spread advertising Of the Tennessee
centennial came in the shape Of a
letteraddressed to Director General
Wills from a prominent party at
Mill Greek, Huntington County,
Pa, asking for a site for a colony.
He says he prefers timber land, but
of course, no poor soil, and that the
proposed colony will lconsistofprob-
ably one hundred families, averag-
ing at least $1,000 to the family.
He says the colony is already made
up and want to make an early start
to Tennessee, preferring this loea-
ton.

Following the meeting of the
general assembly, the corporation
question has loomed up again here,
and it seems to be the general topic
for discussion. A line to include
that part of town which it is pro-
posed to incorporate has been run
off this weak. Those who had the
matter in hand seem to have been
very generous in locating the linn
its of the line, which was run to in
clude the station on the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis Rail-
road aud the vast area Of territory
intervening between the town and
railroad station. 1t is the opinion
Of many who favor the corporation
idea that in their enthusiasm and
magnanimity Of heart and mind the
promoters Of the line have injured
the cause by embracing too much
territory, and it might be we'll to
count the cost as we go along.

one comes from Texas. A gentle

ten white horses tandem through

leader is to carry a banner with a

WHAT co.oPERATIoN DoEs.

The people of Big Sandy are
rapidly realizing that cooperation
can be had in every community,
and that a progressive town is
known by its enterprise and wide
awake business men. The old and
true saying that Gin unity there is
strength is going to be put to the
tests by the business men of that
place and in a manner that speaks
we'll for their enterprise and chal-
lenges standardization Of their pluck
and industry.
Arrangements have about been
completed to establish large tan
merry there, and in short time the
new enterprise will be a fact A
stock company will probably be or
ganizedb spring to build a canning
factory in time to utilize soma Of
the summer fruits aud vegetables.
A great deal Of building has been
done there the past year, and con-
tracts are being made for more
buildings to be erected this year.
Alarge number of immigrants from
the North and Northwest have lo-
Gated in and around Big Sandy,
and agents are making arrange
ments for others to follow.
Big Sandy always has name OF
which she has reason to be proud.
Drawing trade as she does from
communities which legitimately be-
long to other towns and from some
Of the finest farm lands in Tennes-
see, her business men are making
a record second to none in the State
for the size of the town. This is
being accomplished by hearty co
operation. Thepeople have joined
forcesas a acommunityand arework-
ing together for the upbuilding OF
their town and the northern part
of Benton County, and we shall see
it bud and blossom as the beautiful
rose.

PLAIN POINTERS.

WRITTEN FOR THE LIGHT. BY OBSERVED.
There is nothing so cowardly and
contemplate as to use blackmail
to down a rival.
Let every man attend to his du-
ties faithfully and the world will
be moving along smoothly, so that
even the chronic kickers will have
no grounds to howl.
1t is to be regretted that so many
dark deeds are committed in the
name of religion in this enlight-
ened age.
1t sounds funny to hear some
parents reprimanding their child
rem for misdeeds of which they are
guilty themselves.
A "large" newspaper is not ne
cessarily a "great" paper. Some
of the modern journals are stuffing
their bulky issues with "trash."
The agitators of the Sunday law
who wish everybody to keep "dry"
on Sabbath day should bear in
mind that we are already afflicted
with dry sermons, which rob us of
our rest.
Self conceit seems to be modern
malady with which the human
race is afflicted. 1t is constantly
on the increase.
If the office is to seek the man,
as some reformers, propose, it
would surely get lost among the
immense multitude of aspirants.

A genuine aristOcrat is a gentle
man, without affectation, assump-
ton, and superciliousness, but
scrub, suddenly grown rich, re-
mains scrub, and constantly adj
yertises the lowness of his origin
and his vulgarity by a pretentious
and fussy atfectation of sublimat-

rich scrub makes himself supreme

Want of congeniality of temper,
taste, and disposition is the prime
cause of conjugal unhapqiness,
since it prevents anything like
harmony between such i'll
matched couples. But the
chief cause of domestic I'M
happiness lies much deeper and
this is that so many husbands and
wives have no conception of the
sacredness of the married relation
and of the duties which that rela-
ton imposes on them. Trivial
differences become grounds of an
CRY contention and estrangement,
where the rule of "bear and for
bear" would prevent all contention
and discord. Marriage is not a
failure in itself, but a good many
husbands and wives are absolute
failures.

the plea of concurrent jurisdiction

Monometallis.s Losing Their Temper
Over "Coin'. Financial School," b.
From the Memphis Commerciai-Appeai.
The Chattanoo1a Times, like good
many other monometallist newspapers,
has lost its temper because of the wide
circulation of a little book entitled "Coin's
Financial School," which 1t describes as
''sorry twaddie," and wrathfully declares
that "if it could be safely done, such book 3
ought to be burned by the hangman, and
the authors stood in the stocks" We
fear, however, that it cannot be safely
DONE" Revolutions never go backward.
The people, the plain people, the ignorant
plebs, the uncouth hoi polii. have enjoyed
their liberty SO long that any attempt TO
prescribe their literature and regulate
their opinions by the civilized and intel
lectual process OF standing them on the
stocks" might be resented. That many
headed beast" called the people is a
dangerous animal in his moods. The
learned editor of the Times doubtless
knows something of his nature and
habits, and wisely suggests a doubt as to
whether it would be safe to undertake to
cage him after he has been allowed to run
wild so long. This burning of literature
by the hangman and standing heretical
in vogue some centuries ago; the eafned
editor of the Times knows as well assapy
man just how eff cacious such measures
proved inchecking thespread of "herpsy.''
There is always some Luther bold epoush
to nail a script even upon the door OF the
church. The literature of the connnaon
people is read by the light of the Hames
kinded for its destruction. and liberty is
never more effectively preached than rom
the stocks, the scaffold, or the stake.
Even if the Times could bring back the
good old days and the good old ways they
would not avail. No "hangman," not
even he of Buffalo, can strangle the Free
dom of speech, and no fire can consume
the spirit of liberty. Let the VENERABLE
editor of the Times therefore cease to sigh
for what he can never get, and what would
do him and his orthodox creed no good il
he could get il. We assure him that the
putting of financial heretics in the stocks
could not be ssafely DONE" The people
have a prejudice against. that sort oi
thing. The common hangman will never
be popular schoolmaster in this age ant

in which he says that the coming game is

cedes TO Spokane the selection OF one of
the II cid officers in the game, who will In

Enclosed in the letter was a list of the
names of the Butte team as they lined up
against the Helena and Omaha teams OF
last year, the team this year being practi-
caIly the same as that of last year. Their
weights range from 135 to 211 pounds, the
teams average being lbs. Spokane's
team will outweigh the Butte boys, their
average being a fraction less than 1853
pounds. tg.st
"a week from to-day the Spokane boys
will start for Butte and they will also
carry a handsome banner with them to be
placed side by side with the banner of the
Butte team. The banner is now being
made by one of Spokane's society ladies
and it will be beauty. Manager Cough
says that his team will not only bring
back their banner but will also carry back
the banner of the Pastime Athletic club
as a trophy of their coming victory. The
boys are practicing daily and are in fine
condition and anxious for the fray"
