Tbe subject of establishing a Female Col lego at Athens, la being agitated by some of our more substantial citizens, and we leurn tbut several thousand dollars bave nlicndy been secured lor the purpose. All things con. sldered, no more dosiruble location for sucb an Institution could be found, and we hope those who have tbe mutter In band will per cvero until success crowns their efforts. Allien. Tbe work on the residences of Messrs. llli zard, McQuughey and Gregg Is progressing rapidly, and thoy will all bo ready for occu pancy In a short time. Wo have heard of a half dozen other new dwelling", which will be commenced early In tbe spring. There U life in the old place yet; much of the buslncs that bad been diverted to other points Is re turning, and In a few years Athens will be the thriftiest towu on the railroad from Knox, vllle to Atlanta. There are more evidences of Improvement and gn.nheudutivoness nlioul it now than at any time since the building of the railroad. We have been telling those peo ple for a good while that there was a better time aboud. li imiii llle. We tender our thanks to tbo patrons of the Post at Knoxville for tlio prompt and satis factory manner In which they responded to tbe necessities of (he occasion during our recent visit. The wholesale houses appear lo have a largo business, and there has been a decided Improvement tn ilio retail trade In ttt hmI month. 1'rniliiro inllir dull. We didn't hear much said In regard to tbe Senatorial succession, but think ex-Prcsldent Johnson Is not as great a favorite with tbe Knoxvilllans as foimerly, and tbat there Is Krowlng feeling In favor of Governor John C Brown. And this growing feeling is not con fined altogether to Knox county, but seems to be affecting some other portions of East Ten. nessce. Nnow NiiiikeM. The Spartn Index wants to know what "snow snuke" Is. He's a vicious littlo cuss, of a pale, delicate color, and rarely ever ex coeds ten Inches In length. Tbe snow snake rem si us dormant through the hot month, and never puts in an appearance until after the third frost. They are peculiar to the higher mountain gorges, where they may be frequently seen In tbo winter gilding about over the snow. Tbe bite I always fatal, and when one has punctured a fellow, be it never so slightly, be may at once draw the gentle drapery of his couch about him and com mence saying "now I lay mo down to sleep." There I no escnpo. And tbat all we know about tho snow snnko, bis nature, habit, life nd pursuits. The Wheat Field. Wheat, all along the lino from Allien to Knoxville, look belter than wo have ever ttocolt at this season. On most of the farms tho breadth sown la larger than usual, and ha been put In well. ' Indeed, there Is a inarkou improvement In tbo appearance of many of tbe farms, more evidences of system, thrift and substantial comfort than ever be fore. TJie truth is, thu average farmer of East Tennesseo Is a good deal further removed from poverty and bard limes Iban ho generally be lieves ho Is. If he would only adopt the plan of selling hi surplus on the first market, and pursuo It from ycai to year, ho would never be bard pressed for money to pay his taxes or for other purpotes. The loss to the farmer of Eatt Tenucstco this year by holding their wheat from harvest till Christmas, even in the cvsnt of an appreciable rise In price after tbe latter date, will not aggregate loss than one buudred and fifty thousand dollars. Tbe broadth town thl Fall I at least one-fourth larger than In '73, and wo are confident that the plant at this time looks fully 20 per cent more promising.
