Mr. llaueher, of Sullivan, tiuiuulit
the subject char to his mind. The

Mr. J. Monroe Meek eoul.li.! see no
trouble about it ut nil. All the Asso
ciation owes is four thousand dollars,
and if the Association accepts the
properly and pays for it as per contract
the creditors will all he paid. There is
but one way to do, either accept or
refuse the proposition.
John M. Meek, of Jellerson, thought
that this Association had not hi on to do

of last year's J'air have n
upon the new Association.
Mr. Nelson, of Washington,) hoiuh' '
they had better open books f.ir sub
scription or conliii" themselves to the I
printed circular, that was to p iy n, ih
in for the limn i id-, leu i uo t he J-'a'r
oneyear.
Mr. llancher tie it;l'.t tlmr the w iy
he understooil the proposition ; ' :ti it
Kicks was lin iiisliimj tl'.em uhh a
mule to work one season; if it works;
well they can pay for it in .the Kail,
hut if they don't like il the property
reverts back to Captain Kicks, the
trustee.
Mr. Turley, of McMinn, stated that
the committee virtually agreed to an
other report, but as it was not written
the chairman was expected to make a
verbal report. He dissented from the
report of the committee. He thought
that tlie old stockholders should sur
render their stock and tHke new stock
at -'i or 50 per cent. Then he was in
favor of paying the old premiums lir-t.
It lias been buirnested tluit Capt. Kicks
couldn't u outside of his trust, but he
thought an nearly all thecreditors were
of Kuoxvillo they would agree to hold
back to let these premiums lie paid.
Mr. Huiluker said that he had ex
amined the house, and thought it un
safe. Mr. Charlton stated that mechanics
had examined the building, and pro
nounced it secure.
Mr. Jones, of Greene, wanted to
know if all this talk was aecorcplish
iuir anything or not.
John M. Meek oil'ered the following
resolution:
lirsolvcd, Jy this meeting, that the
Grangers of Kast Tennessee accept the
Fair Grounds on tlie following terms:
The Grangers agree to take the proper
ty, hold a fair, und if, after paying nil
the necessary expen-es nf uaid fair,
there should i em a in a r pi us of funds,
itshould he piid over ) the old Asso
ciation in liquidation o:' 'he outstand
ing debts; procidi d, iha' the old As
sociation agree to use siid surplus
amount in paying :h" premiums past
due and unpaid.
Mr. Churltoii made some explana
tioi' us to the circular lett.-r, Mid stated
that it was jul as lie undeistood it.
Though he udmitlcd that he preferred
the Association would buy the proper
ty. He thought if the farmers would
do their duty they could pay all the
debts in the first year. He felt satis
lied that tho citizens of Knoxville
would do their full duty. They had
given evidence this day of their wil
lingness to Bustaiii'theui. luey were
honorable men, honorable to u fault.
They had tried the Fair and could not
make it a success, and now want the
farmers to try it, and no body of men
had ever been offered a more golden
onortunitv. If the Order of l'atrous
of Husbandry cau not make a success
of this, her mission, she lias nnsseii
her mission. He thought they could
buy it and pay every dollar ot it,
Mr. Keller, of Knox county, thought
all they could do would be to accept
the proposition originally mane, rney
were not authorized to purchase it,
and could only accept the Grounds
run the Fair, and pay over the pro.
ceeds to the old Association.
Capt. Ricks explained to the Con
vention that If tlie gentlemen present
took charge of the ralrUrounds and
run them, unless they did it under the
charter, they would become responsi
ble for every dollar of debt they might
make. But they could take the old
charter, change the name and work
under its provisions. It was carefully
prepared, and was as liberal a charter
as could be gotten up. If the Gran
gers present organized uuder a charter,
they protected themselves from per
sona! responsibility. If they bought
this property under the proposition
made as stockholders, theije would be
no risk as some apprehended. This
large assemblage was proof that your
organization had faith and confidence
in their ability.
Mr. John M. MeeU withdrew Lis
motion, which he had made in lieu of
alt others, and stated that lie believed
that Mr Charlton's view of the matter
was the proper one. lie thought, after
considering the matter, that the only
The honks being opened the loiio .v-

Mr. J. Monroe Meek thought the ac
tion of taking stock was all premature
as the convention had not decided
upon the capital slock or how it
should he paid. The property though
onlv costing them $1,000 was worth
$10,000 and they should make their
shares accordingly.
Mr. Jiai lies thought that there hail
been enough gas und it was time for
work. It would lake money to run,
the Fair, and the way to do it is to take'
the stock and then elect their directors
and they could increase their stock
afterward.
V. C. Dav, of Urudlcy county,
moved that the convention go into tlie
election of directors, one for each
county. He made an able speech in
support of his motion, showing that
such a proceeding alone would enlist
the entire larming communiiy or i-.ast
Tennessee. He presented his views in
such a forcible manner that the motion
carried, and the nomination of direc
tors was declared In orilcr.

On motion the above list were elect-
pit as Directors of the Eastern Division
Fair Association.
Mr. Vearwood stated, if the matters
was lo be relerred to the Granges, a
he was no Granger, he would with'
draw his subscription. He was inform
ed that the referring to tlie Granges
annulled all the subscriptions.
Mr. Dav moved that the Directors
meet in the morning at 8 o'clock, and
elect officers. Carried.
Mr. Reeves made some remarks.
There were but two dangers the Direc
tors would have to guard aga!ust. 1st
to not agree to pay one dollar of the
old stock, and second to exclude no in
teret.t whatever from participating in
tlie fair. - Make it an Eastern Division
Fair and not exclusively Granger
fair.
A resolution of thanks to the rail
roads for courtesies extended was pass
ed unanimously.
On motion, tliu papers were request

without a few words in regard to St.
James' palish, in which the conven
tion met. '1' lie Rev. Will. C. Grav,
:-whose earnest preaching at St. John's
Church last yesr will not soon be for
gotieu, certainly deserves great credit.
He has within the lust six years built
a beautiful brick gotliic church, seat
ing shout odd persons. He has built
St. James' Hall, in which husaeirls'
school uuder the direction of the Rev.
Dr. Mulhollind. It has a capacity for
fifty hoarders, and bus now some
sixty scholars, most of whom
are day scholar.-. In addition to this
a Chapel for the colored people has
been built where I In re are fifteen com
municants ; u d iy school and a regu
lar service on Sunday. All Ibis work
has been done by tlie Rector with u
small hand of helpers, for he has but
a hundred communicants. The whole I
parish is in elegant order and the work
don.) there is only an instance of what
a self denying hard working man can
do aided by nn earnest congregation.
The number of delegates present was
forty-three. The next place of mcet

Many fanners cut wheat too

Wheat intended for seed ought to be
fully ripe before it is cut ; hut, that which

manv acres lo harvest, it is dillictilt to
nvoid cutting soini; a little too carle, or a
great deal too late.
So soon as the straw is sutllcii'iitlv

of wheat straw for forage need not com

not so common as they ought to be, and
no fanner who has the means to make
