boxes and front seats were occupied by
relatives and friends of the murdered
man. Only few persons in addition
were admitted.
Before the trap was sprung the negro
confessed that he fred the shot which
killed Singley, and warned members of

Bristol, Dec. lS-Bristol parties own

rapidly becoming one of the most pop.
ular courses in the university.
The practical character of the short
course in agriculture may be shown
best by description of typical day,
Take the course in agronomy as an ex-
ample. AT o'clock the professor OF
agronomy meets the class for a discus
sion of soils, their structure, compost,
ton and tillage, and the kinds of soil
best suited TO the various field crops,
The next two hours are spent with
other professors on diseases and insect
enemies of plants and the best ways of
overcoming them. During the follow
inging hour the professor OF agronOmy
gives lecture on corn. Soil, prepara-
ton of seed bed, fertilizers, tillage,
harvesting and corn improvement are
taken up The afternoon is spent in
laboratory work and corn judging.
This is but a sample day. Alternat-
ing with the course in agronomy is an
equally practical course in animal hus-
bandry, running through January. In
February the courses in dairying and
horticulture occur,
AS far as the subject will permit, ev-
cry lecture is illustrated by work on
the part of the student practical eXer-
cises in corn judging; milk testing;
butter and cheese making; the judging
of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs; Or
chard pruning and spraying, grating
and budding-the student passes from
one practical exercise TO another. There
is little textbook work. The teachers
know the conditions of agriculture in
every part of the state, and are thor
oughly qualified to help in the solution
of the farm problems of today.
No better expenditure could be made
by the farmers of Tennessee than is
involved in attendance at the short
course in agriculture the coming Janu-
ary and February An illustrated cir
cular of information will be sent to any
one upon application to the college of
agriculture, Knoxville, Tenn.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 15.-Hon.

TO o. &. Barton, chairman of the indie

resigning from that organization, Civ
ing as his reason that he was not in

"Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 10, 19ll.-
Hon. D. G. Barton, chairman of the

suming that my continued absence

81 am greatly interested in demo-
cratic success next year, and especially
| am interested in party harmony in

pathy with the administration of the
present governor of our state, and real
ize that continued agitation of har-
mony propositions at this time be-
tween the two democratic committees
can, in my judgment, only serve to
widen the breach between the factions
and thereby generate strength for the
republicans thing perhaps desired
by some members of the committee
must decline to longer serve as as COM
mitteeman, even in a passive way.
81 have been lifelong democrat,
but the conditions made it necessary
for me to affiliate last year with those
democrats who were not in accord
with the regular democratic organiza-
tion. / am not satisfied to keep up
the fight longer, as there seems to be
no valid reason why this should be
done. / have regarded the work of the
committee as long since finished and
can, therefore, see no need for its fur
ther existence.
II am impressed with the idea OF
permitting tue people themselves to
bring about lasting harmony, and be-
lieve that time and the absence of fac
tional controversy between the two
democratic committees is all that is
needed to reach this result in the end.
81 base this view upon the harnoni-
