last I contributed anything to your
columns. Your ivell-known modesty
and mine as well, would forbid mak-
incr mention the various words of
praise your efforts have elicited.
The people of this favored section
and adjacent territory have reached
a new era of development. Judging
from indications it will soon rush
forward to the very van of civiliza
tion and advancement.
Brasstown is turning out a large
number of teichers, doctors and
preachers, most of whom possess the
highest order of talent. As legisla
tors, some of her sons have sat with
the Solons of North Carolina with
out discredit to any one. In fact,
they have reflected honor on the
State.
Our farmers, m point of intelli
gence, will compare favorably with
any in the State. They are begin
ning to recognize the fact that a
much smaller boundary of laud en
riched and well cultivated will pro
duce more than a much larger boun-
darv of poor land half cultivated.
This is the secret of and the key to
successful farming. They are also
beginning' to appreciate .their inde
pendence, and recognize the fact
that theva.ro tlicjlnrds And not the
i minions of any class. The man

on muscular power".a!one will always
be a servant of . others. Let this
force be controled by brain power,
and success is almost inevitable.
The tobacco business is attracting
considerable interest, and will soon
assume immense proportions in this
section. In this immediate vicinity
there :has been raised this vear 35
barns of tobacco. From all indica
tions, next year there will be ten
times that amount, which will yield
about 100,000 pounds of tobacco.
Placing the modest estimate of 10
cents on the pound, it will yield the
nice little sum of $10,000. All this
in a radius of five miles, and no
"gasing." Of course this, like all
othercrops, is subject to accidents,
but these are modest figures: 'Tis
the intention pot to let this crop in
terfere with other crops, as it will
come in before and after the other
crops are made.
This is one of the best farming
sections in the State, if men will go
to farming right; Health! Why
to he sick here is something strange,
and scarcely ever a death, except
old persons.
We have marble enough to sup
ply a large demand, and other min
erals in prospect.
We have two schools conducted
under the anspieces of Miss Blanche
Moore-an Mrs & JaVtin4 Sjbon we
hope to see the Spires of twopeauti
ful churches pointing the inhabitants
to the Giver of gifts. '
To-day I attended an old-fashioned
corn husking at Sir Robert Harper's.
There were men and maids and ma
trons there. 'Squire Moore, who is
somewhat of a poetical turn, laid
aeide his magisterial robe, and doubt
less forgetting but that he was a boy,
sung some old Scotch and Irish
melodies, and other ditties, for the
"bonnie lassies." If we had had
music, I expect we would have seen
him "change corners and swing part-
ners" with some of them. I guess
when his wife heard of k, a few
"curtain lectures" will follow, and
'Squire Daniel will assume his judic
ial robes.
Our valJies, hills and mountains
have been exquisitely beautiful for
sometime, but are fading. .Nature's
great artist has dressed them off in
all imaginable colors, apparently in
bridal attire. You,wbo have gone
over the world to see sights, come to
Western North Carolina and you can
see them. Come and I will show
you mountains eternal mountains
pyramids grander than those of the
valley of the Nile, wlose uncovered
head have held sweet converse with
the stars, 'around whom the wild
lightnings have theil home and the
untamed winds tluir eyrie, and
where tme thnnderft e'cho back to
their cavierns! Come,
iu , 1 I - J
and I
will show you pvramida

perhaps, since the morning stars
sang together and the birds first
sang in Eden's sunny bowers !

Texas,'at the present, is as dry as

Water is scarce, and stoek will suf

Corn is worth 50 cents per bushel.
The crop was cut short by a six

Cotton picking is progressing rap

I am well pleased with the "Lone

I was surprised the other day by

SHOOTING AFFRAY IN GRAHAM.
, On the 27th ult., a serious acci
dent, and one that may jrpve fatal,
occurred at a logging camp on the
Tennessee river, this county, in
which a young man by the name of
Quiet, of Calhoun, Tenn .was sht
by-Alex. Jens,-! thiJ county.
It seems, from what ; we can learn
of the particulars, that Jenkins had
been book-keeper for Mr. Sherman,
the man who had charge of the log
ging contract, and in settling with
Sherman claimed $3 more than Shei
man thought was right. The differ
ence soon brought on hot words, and
finally Sherman struck Jenkins with
his fist, whereupon Jenkins drew his
pistol and fired at Sherman, the ball
glancing his ear and striking Quiet
in the breast, ranging toward the
left shoulder. Jenkins is still at
large. Whisky had a great deal to
wun tne row. r. M.
Mrs. W. B. Nelson writes us that
a meeting conducted by Revs. Corn

long remembered by tne people. It
has reunited the church and awaken
