We call special attention to the
petition in this issue of the Nou
ght for a charter for the Jumbo
Gold Alining Co. The organiza
tion of this company means much
for the people of this section.
We are personally acquainted
with most of the gentlemen ap
plying for the charter. They are
to the manor born, and men of the
highest character. Tlioy are
amongst the best known, success
ful practical miners in the state.
They were raised in the gold
mines and are well acquainted
with the formation of the gold-
bearing lodes in this field. Judge
Stone of Denver, Colorado, has
been a regular reader of the Nug
get for some years—that fact is
largely in his favor. We under
stand that lie is a pioneer miner
in Colorado, and still largely in
terested in mines in the west. By
reading the Nitgget he became
deeply impressed with the possi
bilities of this section as a gold
country, and through his friend,
Judge W. W. Murray, became in
terested in the Jumbo Mine. He
which relate to agriculture. His
residence is at Rogersville, Tenn.,
near which place lie was reared on
a farm. Prof. Davis is hi years
of age—is married and has four
children. For two years he was a
professor at the AIcMinn Military
School at Rogersville, and has
been engaged in the work of touch
ing since his graduation. Ho is
recommended by the ablest col
lege men of Tennessee, and is in
the prime of life. With Ilia learn
ing, enthusiasm, and zeal, which
.lie possesses in a high degree, we
fee*! sure that Prof. Davis will
bring the Agricultural department
of our college to the highest usel u I-
ness. This cannot be done in a
few months nor in a year, but
within a reasonable time ho will
cause his department to vie with
that of any similar institution ou
the land. Our general Assembly
desires to do a good part by the
sons of the farmers, and the Board
of Trustees of the College are
leaving “no stone unturned to
meet the reasonable expectations
of our Jaw makers,
The Board, lias also, employed
Mr. John R. Byers, a graduate of
the N. G. A. College, (this year),
as a tutor in the Preparatory De
partment, which will greatly re
lievo other professors. It is a
well known fact that may students
enter this college who have not
received the best elementary train
ing, and are not as well equipped
for higher studies as they should
be. Air. Byers is quite competent
to perform the work to which ho
has been chosen.
