Record a bran new 12 page paper
published at Tazewell O. H.
We have been favored with an in?
troduction, this week, to Thomas
Witten, Esq., a promising young
-Lawyer of E din burg, Mo., son of
j Dr. Robert B. Witten, formerly , of
this county. The father of young
Witten and the senior editor of this
paper began life as cotemporAries.
When Dr. Witten left Virginia his
son, our visitor was but a small child.
The cordial reception which young
Witten is receiving will make him re
gi ot that Iiis fathor accepted Horace
Greolny's advice,' to go West.
So much attention has concentrated
on the subject of the two lines of
railway projected through the Coun?
ty, that other interests of equal im?
portance-have been ovorshadowed.?
But the interesting exercises promis?
ed us at tho Tazewell Femelo Semi?
nary, which commences on the 6tb
June, will bo largely attended, and
convince the public that we have tin
institution which is to work out an
easy problem?-where our daughter's
can get tho best advantages at the
lowest rates. This infant institution
is to enjoy a large share of publio at?
tention:' The beautiful grounds and
buildings are an ornament to . the
town, and the quality of instruction
is first class. We predict an attend
anco of one hundred pupils the next
scholastic year.

Tue American Agriculturist ab a
?'Daily."?During tho continuance of
the great Dairy and Cattle Show,
held in New York City in the second
week of May, the American A grind
turist Monthly, issued a daily paper
on the grounds every morning at tea
o'clock, of eighteen pages, describing
the Bcencs and incidents from day to
day, and presenting illustrations . of
the various eat tie and farm , imple?
ments as premiums were awarded
(hem. Ever j number coutained from
thirty to forty engravings of cattle,
etc., etc. It \vas rather of a novelty,
for the Veteran ylr?i?r/ca? Agricid
turist, now not far from its . fiftieth
birthday.
? Col. Wbitcomb,' cheif engineer of
the Virginia Western put iu his nr>
pearance Wednesdaj, looking nftor
the work of his subordinates iu this
locality. Col. Whitcoiub is ono of
the most noted railroad men in the
state?having been connected with
the C. & O. and other roads in Vir?
ginia and the South. Truth is all the
officials connected with the great en?
terprise?the V. W.?are men of large
experience, aud fino character. What
Cols. Buford and Wbitcomb can't do
to inspire confidence, and otherwise
-promote the success of this road need
not bo undertaken by anybody. Let
everybody aid iu carrying out this
mammoth undertaking.
Uuclo Billy Moore gladdened bis
friends by a visit to town on Tues?
day and Wednesday. His exuberence
of spirit, aud social qualitios seem to
grow with his increasing age. His
reminisceiises'and-traditions of early
life in Southwest Virginia are detail?
ed with thrilling vividness.
Recent discoveries on bis lands
have added a new intercut to the
thrilling stories of Abb's Valley, in
ye olden time. Recently, Mr. Oscar
Moore, while plowing in the field un?
covered a htigo skeleton"--evidently
that of an Indian; and as it was
found where another skeleton had
been plowed up four or' fivie years
ago, aud near the stable, where' .tho
Englishman Simpson kept the im?
ported stallion that killed three In?
dians at the time of tho massacre and
capture of the Moore family, these
two skeletons are believed to bo those
of these Indians; Failing to manage
him aud the three Indians being kill?
ed by him, the savages killed the no?
ble auimal by shooting his body f?ll
of arrows. These bones, are well pre?
served, and are on exhibition at Esq.
Moore's. These Indians must have
been monsters, as the jnw bone of
one of them can bo placed over the
jaw of a living man. There are lo
cust rails still in use on the Moore
farm, made and laid up in the life
time of the grand father of Uncle Bil
ly Moore?serving now the fourth
generation. Undo Billy can vault in?
to the saddle with as rauch ease anc
more grace than the young men o
this generation.
RAISING PORK CHEAPLY.
We need more grass and clover,
and less corn, upon which to make
our pork. More grass, and clover
means cheaper growth nnd les9
disease. Just as the great corn and
and pork producing lands have been
developed, has swine disease sprung
up nnd increased, because our swine
are given a monotonous diet of dry,
oily, food, . Grass nnd clover are the
foods of nature, and the swine harvest
them. They require little prepara
ion of the ground for them, and no
cultivation. Wlien pastured they
build up.rather than exhaust,the land;
and it can not be succesfully disput?
ed that they are essential factors in
the production of the cheapest pork.
Let the pigs farrowed In the spring
be put on grass nnd clover as soon as
they are fit to be grazed, nnd kept on
them as long as' they are palatable,
and the result will be a pig not fat,
but in good condition and thrift}',
i that until full has large, henltthy
' boneB nnd muscle a vigorous appetite
for corn. And then It may be fed
corn largely, for this will put fat on
the largo frame the pasture has made,
and the hog is vigorous enough to
digest the corn well; and If the hog
is fatted rapidly and marketed as soon
as fully fat, is the cheapest pork that
can be made?the cheapest, not count?
ing loss from disease. But swine
plague rarely invades the pasture;
its favorite place of appearance is in
the small lot, paved with cobs and
manure. Tho hog Aumraercd on grass
and clover is so vigorous that it rare
ly sickens when being fattened on
corn largely, but also other food, and
in clean quarters pure vt&tcr.-Ameri

THE TENNESSEE MIDLAND
ROAD.
With but three dissenting votes
the city of Jackson, Tonn., has voted
a subscription of (150,000 .to the
Tennessee Midland railroad, by
which, it is proposed t? connect tho
great Southwest with the Baltimoro
and Ohio railroad system in tho Val?
ley of Virginia as well as with the
Shenandonh Valley and Richmond
and Alleghany .roads* Tho business
men of Kuoxville, Tenn., also bold a
mooting, at which the sentiment was
unanimous in favor of making a sub
script ion of $300,000 to the proposed
road, provided Kuoxville is. made a
point on the line. A number of Ten?
nessee counties have alroady made
liboral subscriptions.to tho road, and
other counties will vote in tho. next
ton days. In tho meantime the en?
gineers1 corps, both in Virginia and
Tennessee; are making good pro
gross, and. will bp., shlo in'a short
time to submit estimates of grade,
.vpst of cousU-'uotion-iu'id distance.
THE CO?NThy? $CH?OIj, AND
TlIE FARMER'S. ^OY.
The country school is preeminent?
ly the farmer's school, In it the
great majority of the farm-rs of to?
day received their education, and in
it Um great majority of those of the
next generation will receive the
whole of their schooling.
Is the country school doing what
it should for'the farmer's boy? Is it
giving to the boy who will, remain on
the farm that kind aii education which
will he the best preparation for life's
work?
What is an education/for? Why
should ahoy spend so much time in
the school room? The purpose of a
hoy's education is to. fit him for his
work whatever that may be. The
.education given in a. .country school
ought then to fit the'boy to.be a suc?
cessful farmer, for that is to be the
profession of most country school
boy.
What education does the farmer's
profession demand? The "ability to
read," write, and understand the
English language and to malte readily
all the ordinary numerical calculation
connected with his business?this is
all, some say, that a^farmer-fneeds,
and this is practically all th^t' many
of-the schools supply.4' But/is this
enough? Stiall we set tb'tj eC^^ard^oi*'
education for the farmer ?t .tins very
lowest notch? Shall* ^jn tlij^ j way
say that the poorest.i education is
sufficient for the farmer? We certaln
ly do not think that farming is the
occupation for which tho poorest
education is sufficient. Give the boy
opportunity to become acquainted
with the things around him. Put the
study of soils, plants, animals, etc.,
into your schools. "Ask youf school?
teachers to give instruction of this
kind. Demand of them that they know
enough to give such instrctlon in the
right way. If you will demand only
the bait of teachers for youVxhildrcn,
you can have these things taught to
them; but if you are willing .to take
year by year, the young awl. poorly
prepared teachers, the work' will not
and can not bo done. You will have
to pay roundly for such"..] Efficient
teachers but will it not be the bent
economy in the long run, fo'f'are they
not to instruct your .children for their
whole life's work?? American . Aqri
