THE CATTLE BUSINESS.

Cattle interests in this County
seem to be growing. There is good
money in cattle growing and stock
raising generally and the success of
Bledsoo county should he an incen-
tive to our people. The amount of
money brought annually into that
county by the cattle men is big
item and if the people of Marion
push the business it will add much to
the wealth OF the county. THE
NEWS has long been advocating
cattle growing and its efforts seem to
be rewarded by the increased atten-
ton which is now being given TO it.
More people are embarking in the
business and more will. The fine,
succulent grasses of our mountain
plateaus are practically unlimited,
and we can remember last year to
have seen it growing a foot high and
extending as far as the eye could
reach. If this grass can grow SC
well in the primeval woodland, what
would be the result if it were assist
ed by human agency? A little ju
dicioub clearing away of brush anC
underground would soon make GU
mountain tops look like the blu
grass section of Kentucky, wher
trees and grass grow together
Our mountain road, too, is playinl
an important part in the fostering q
this growing industry, affording, a
it does the best, the easiest, and tn
only way to get onto the mountain
With the cattle industry develop
ed, colonists imported, and fruit ran
ing extended, there will soon be

IN. Dayton's population in 1890 was
271S, which was its high tide in pop
ulahon. If 1877 people were arrest

WHAT A FISH LAW!

In the Acts and Resolves of the
Fiftieth General Assembly of tins
State, 1897, may be found the follow
unique law. 1t is called can Act to
allow people residing in the counties
of Hardin, Gibson, Crockett, Upton,
Fayette, Franklin, Grundy and Ma
rion to catch fish in any waters in
these counties in any way except by
poison, dynamite, or wing net' and
it reads as follows:
SECTION BE it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Tennessee, That the residents of the
counties of Hardin, Gibson, Crockett,
Upton, Fayette, Franklin, Grundy
and Marion, in this State, may catch
fish, except from the first day of
April to the first day of June of each
year, in any of the waters in SAID
counties, by any means, except by
poison, dynamite, or wing net across
any stream"

Shorty, By watching the motions Of the

to the grip this time, and get it exactly.
He expressed himself satisfied, and as the

HEMHAIMED REEE -

There can be no longer any doubt
that considerable portion of the canned
beef issued to our troops during the war
was bad-very bad-and that crime
of the first magnitude was committed in
its preparation and sale to the Govern
ment. And it is not difficult matter
to trace this crime directly to those re-
sponsible for it. The cans containing
the beef showed its origin, and this
must be corroborated by the books OF
the War Department giving the names of
the men from whom the beef was Dur.
chased, and by whom it was purchased.
There is every facility for fixing the re.
sponsibility, and a multitude of wit
nesses can be had at every step from the
abbattoirs in Chicago to the issue of the
cans by the company Commissary-Ser-
geants. The Government has now an i'm.
perative duty to perform. This is not
only to punish past wrong-doing of
the most reprehensible character, but to
prevent it in the future. Not only must
there be exemplary punishment for the
crime already committed, but it must be
made sure that in the future our armies
rushing into the field shall not be
scourged by the criminal greed of ras.
cally purveyors. Still farther, the
health and money of the people of the
United States must be protected. The
81 me men who furnished rotten meat 70
the Army, sell it to the people. Every
body in the Commissary Department,
from Gen. Eagan down, is now on the
defensive. They must be sternly made
to answer why they bought and issued
such beef Then every man who sold
canned meats 10 the Army must be put
or the rack, and when found guilty
sent to the penitentiary. No guilty
man Should be allowed to escape con-
vict;on and punishment.
