Our community is at peace ; every
one is busily at work ; no time for
loafers. The farmers have gathered
most of their cotton and are now
sowing largely of wheat, which we
think is the only way to redeem our
people from starvation or suffering.
If you would watch our merchants
seeking with a longing eye after every
bale of cotton they see, and wondering
if they are going to get it for goods
they sold this summer, and watch the
farmers as they drive ou with their
cotton to some point where they do
not owe all of it, and sell, put the
money in their pockets etc.; if you
could tee the merchant then, with his
long face, you would think he needed
money now." But he must grin and
endure it and hope lor better times.
We are not much politicians since
our troubles, but when Wise A. Cooper
was speaking last Saturday to our
citizens we thought we would vote for
him and the straight ticket.
Times are dull, money scarce, and
provisions high, but E. II. James &
Co. have a large stock of goods at
panic prices cheap according to hard
tunes.
The farmers expect to start a sealed
car loaded with cotton for Savannah
or Liverpool, where they can get three
fourths of what it is worth advanced
to them immediately, with the privi
lege of holding it as long a3 they see
proper. This movement is gotten up
by the Grangers, and we hope it may
prove a blessing and ready relief to
the farmers, so they will not be com
pelled to put their cotton on the pres
ent low market. E.

port :
That the subject of direct trade

introduced and passed by that body
endorsing the direct trade association
of Georgia, and the members of the
different councils pledged more or less
cotton to the association for shipment.
They further endorsed the establish
ing of reliable agencies and pledged
themselves to support them.
' The Grange t"hen adjourned to
meet at eight o'clock at night.
EIGHT P. M.
The Grange met pursuant to ad
journment; the orthy Master was
present and presiding.
The minutes of the afternoon ses
sion were read and approved.
The committee on direct trade
made the following report :
Your committee on Direct Euro
pean Trade having had this subject
under consideration beg leave to re
port that the more the subject is in
vestigated the more is its importance
impressed upon them ; and our in
vestigations have developed that there
is a "Direct Trade Union" of Geor
gia, with headquarters at Atlanta,
that has a real existence, being
regularly chartered by the Legisla
ture of Georgia and now fairy -organized
and ready to ship direct to
the foreign ports any and all pro
ducts of the farm as well as to im
port goods to our countrv, and it is
establishing agencies to solicit pat
ronage and stock to establish it upon
a firm basis ; and the board, we learn,
officially has appointed W. Maxwell,
Worthy Master of the State Grange
of Tennessee, as soliciting agent, both
for stock and business, authorizing
him to open books in Tennessee for
receiving subscriptions for Stock and
empowering him to select and appoint
agents in the State to solicit business
and stock subscription to the shares,
(ten dollars being a share,) said agents
to report and pay said stock subscrip-
tions over to the said W. MaxwelL
The stock received is for the benefit
of the business of said Direet Trade
Union in the State of Tennessee.
This corapanr gives the assurance
that when $&,000 Is subscribed in
stock to the Direct Trade Union in
Tennessee and ten per cent, paid in,
thai Tennessee shall have a director
udgb the Board f Directors of the
association. Your committee would
therefore recommend the encourage
ment of 6aid Direct Trade Union,
so far as lo encourage the shipment
of eotton and other produce by them
in such sufficient quantities to test it
jtbiiity to serve our order to profit,
wliich we are impressed to believe it
can and will do, and we further re
eommend that stock be taken in
shares and paid to the Board's gen
eral agent in Tennessee, as provided
lor in the first part of this rejiort, t. e.
to Wm. Maxwell, Master of the
Siaie Grange of Tennessee.
Patrons of Husbandry only, are
allowed to take stock or hold stock in
the Direet Trade Union, but any one
may ship produce by said association.
All of whicJa is respectfully submitted.

Committee,
The report wa rcMved end adop
ted. Bro. Tillman offered the following:
Whereas, The permanent estab
lishing and sustaining of our agents,
systems of trade aud manufactories is
of paraiuouii interest to the success
and piosperity of our order, believ
ing them, from past experience in
their buines- transactions, to be
every way worthy of our confidence
and patronage, and,
Whereas, The Direct Trade Union,
(if Georgia, from evidence before us,
seems to embody every element nec
essary to success and the ability to
carry into eflect the objects set forth
in their charter, and by their pro
posed system of advancing three
fourths of the worth of cotton ou ar
rival ut their agency at Savannah.

ing the rise ia the spring, which is
sure to come, and only pay a mere
nominal sum, compared to the pres
ent system of advance storage, inter
est, vc.
Therefore he. it Hewlrfd, That we
suggest, urge and must impress upon
the suljonlinate Granges, the impor
tance of the agencies by their patror.
:rre and confidence and the Direct
Trade Union, by each Grange mak
ing a shipment at the earliest day
possible of one or more bales of cot
ton iroui each Grange or member, as
they may elc. t, to test and jmyve the
ability and trust-worthiness of the
same, thereby solving the problem of
preseut and immediate relief.
Adopted.
Bro. Tillman offered the following:
Whereas,' Diversified crops and
products are essential to the success
and prosperity of our interest ; There
fore be it
Resolved, That we recommend and
urge upon the members of our order
in West Tennessee, to sow largely of
wheat, grasses, &c, plant largely of
the crops necessary for food for loth
man and beast, and that we are will
ing aud more than anxious to cut
down our cotton crops one half in
J acreage, thereby giving rest and im
i provement to our lands, and produce
I ample provisions for home consump-
tion, and at the same time producing
a crop or cotton that will yield as
much in value as heretofore, and for
the accomplishment of this we earn
estly solicit the co-operation of all cot
ton growing States, by bringing this
proposition before their subordinate
Granges, and take such steps as will
lead to a convention of said States to
establish and set on foot a system
that may secure a hearty co-operation
that these ends may be accomplished.
Adopted.
Bro. Buford, of Shelby, offered the
following :
Eemh-eA, That the Worthy Mas
ter be requested to issue an address
to all the subordinate Granges in
West Tennessee, and that the reso
lutions on direct trade and on the
diversity of crops accompany said ad
dress. Adopted.
The Secretary offered the follow
ing: Resolved, That the members of
this Grange tender their thanks to
Humboldt Grange No. 7, and to the
citizens of the town and vicinity for
the hospitable manner in which they
have treated the members of this
body while in their midst. And also
the proprietor of Shaw's Hall and of
the city hotels end to the different
railroad officials for their kindness.
Adopted.
Bro. B. Simmons offered the
lollowing :
Iledi;cd, That the Secretary of
the V est Tennessee Grange shall en
roll on his books the member of each
suliordinate Grange represented, and
where delegates represent a county
council or in part, he or they shall
bring the member of each subordi
nate Grange so represented as well
the county council, and when any
j county council is only represented in
part ne or they shall give the mem
ber of the granges represented.
2d. That we further urge subordi
nate granges to unite themselves as
soon 3 organized to county councils,
and in such counties where no coun
cils exist we recommend the forma
tion of such.
Adopted.
Humboldt was then selected as the
place for the next meeting of this

charged with passing counterfeit
money. As the young man is respec
tably connected, we withhold his
name.
We learn that Mr Green McCaclin,
residing four miles west of this place,
while carelessly hand ing a pistol ves-
terday morning, accidentally sliot him
self, the ball taking effect in his thigh,
iiiflictinrr a verv serious wound.
We regret to learn of the death of
Mr Allen Bowden, an old citizen of
this county, which occurred on last
Monday. Mr Bowden was among
the first settlers f this- county, and
btre an irreproachable name and left
many friends behind him. lie was a
good citzrn and a true christian, firm
and unyielding in the advocacy of
what he esteemed the right. In Lis
death his family, relatives and the en
tire community sustain an irreparable
loss.
The Republicans in this county will
leave no means untried to elect their
candidate for Representative. Tiey
already know that the electien of a Re
publican to the office of Governor,
member of Congress, State t?enaor,
or Floater, is a moral impossibility;
not so, however, with the election of
Representative, for two years ago Mr
Brooks was elected by a handsome
majority, and to effect his re-election
they will Ie willing to throw off ou
Maynard and Muse. If the Demo
crats and Conservatives of Carroll do
not desire to see the county again
represented by a Republican in the
State Legislature, they must to a man
support the nominee. It is fortunate
for the party that in the person of W.
E. Curtis we have a candidate to whom
no objection can be properly urged.
He is a man of extensive information
as to the wants and necessities of the
people; of a high standard of moral
and tif unbounded personal popularity
among his fellow citizens where he is
best known. In ioint of talent, his
election would Ik? an immense im
provement upon our last Representa
tive, as lie would at once take hs place
among the active, working and inllu
ential members of the Legislature.
Smokers, go to Deshong's.
Another Rlrbsnaad.
Dr J. W. Harwood, of At wood,
Carroll county, has announced him
self, in a circular, as an independent
candidate for the State Senate. He
says Carroll id entitled to the Senator
and thinks he ought to have it. This
is rather thin. He is a Radical candi
date, put out to try to cause a distur
bance in the anti-Administration
ranks. We don't beleive any lover of
law and order in Carroll county will
vote for Tiim. Beware of tricks, vo
ters of Carroll. Gibson will not know
him in the race.
