There are some people in this ^country so prejudiced against Air Cleveland they sneer at everything lie does and says, .and persistently misconstrue his motives. These prejudiced folk are now charging the president with a mean pur¬ pose of boosting himself for a third term in sending in Jus lues* sage on the Venezuelan matter. /They have absolutely no ground or excuse for imputing such un¬ worthy motives to Air. Cleveland. His course in public life gives the lie to all such imputations. The most notable characteristics of .the man are nis independence of t hought and action and his disre¬ gard of the ordinary precautions and office-seeking expediments of Hie politician* He lias never been a trimmer. Instead of truckling to the patry parties that be and fawning and trimming to get in the popular current, he has not hesitated to boldly declare his convictions, even when such decla¬ rations were supposed to be coun¬ ter to the popular sentiment of jiis party and seemed to preclude his chance for party preference. Several thugs he lias by the utter¬ ance of clear-cut opinions upon public questions raised a howl up- 11 poll a part of the politicians who had been accustomed to control the party machinery, and jjood will and support were regar¬ ded as essential to the party sup¬ port. He has been the staunch and potent champion of civil ser¬ vice reform, and has time after time squarely antagonized the spoilsmen who turn the science of politics into an adroit art of office getting.

The territory in dispute is about the size of the State of Maine. British Guinn was acquired by England through treaty in 1814. In 189?* the amount of gold mined in Venezuela was 47,900 ounces. Slavery in the republic was abol¬ ished by the degree of March 24, 1854. Venezuela’s export trade with New York reaches $5,000,000 a year. Difficulties between Venezuela and Great Britain first arose in 1830. It is estimated that seventy-five revolutions have occurred since the establishment of the republic. An absolute separation of church and state has been effected; civil marriage is insisted on, and other admirable and progressive insti¬ tutions have been established. Previously to I860 her public school systsm was very unimpor¬ tant. only 1,312 pupils being in attendance at the public schools in the year mentioned. Now the attendance exceeds 100,000. The constitution makes presi¬ dents ineligble for re-election,and it is the earnest endeavor of Ven¬ ezuelan statesmen to establish the” politics of the country on a firm footing of peace and order. The financial system of Yonezu- ell? is the admiration and envy of all South American boundaries, the single gold standard being in force, and the public debt of quite insignificant proportions. United States minister, Ala. Pile of Virginia, once ventured t/R present himself to the- president on one occasion minus a necktie. President Blanco very sharply re¬ minded him of his forgetfulness of cCquetto, and shortly after¬ wards sent him about his busi- ness. -WP- --- BLOUNTSVILLE LOCALS, Our gi^Jhmity mourns the deatli^^^^^Beeti 3 a®|tfi_chris> • ( V£R 1?: PI TEAM rU * nfordvilek.

I earnestly invite all classes of our citizens that-are directly or indirectly interested in protect- ing the values of our main com¬ modify—cotton—to join with us in our deliberations. The invita¬ tion is extended to all agricultural societies, alliances, granges, cot¬ ton exchanges, commission mer¬ chants, factors, associations, etc. The movement is strictly non- polideal, but essentially industri- al; therefore no man should say us nay on account of political af¬ filiations. 1 respectfully invoke the aid of the press. Recognizing the de¬ mand for heroic action and the disaster Hint is to follow without it, I appeal to all patiotic people to join in this struggle to emanei- pate our is people from a. bondage that as oppressive and ignomi- nious as was ever inflicted by the czar upon a serfdom. No j ! on gar can we live prosper¬ ously and happily under so tyr- anical a system, The demand of the occasion is for honest, ea r- nest men who have the intelli¬ gence to appreciate prevaling con¬ ditions and the courage to “take arms against a great soa of trouIr¬ 108 ami 1 by opposing, end them.

I Question 1.—What grases caH on a wet bottom for a winter ] Answer 1.—There are no cultivated grasses that will tl V wet bottom. (I suppose you ij wet bottom one on which wuj\ \\ most of the time). Some of swamp grasses of your section, ' well on such land, but they 0 Id pasturage, as a rule. Tho best plan is to thoronglL the wot bottom, and then it o- &1100 in perfection anything tn gr-.AV on tin - \ngb land. For g. pasture you might sow n few •». ■ evvlot rloyr-v, ab n:t tho /list' f in six to eight vnx-ks (if y pr-T.<-iiy) y;m a.u begin aboufcG to « s if, and keep it up until stocWr first March. Then take your and the clover will make you a goo^crop of hay, and in time to make a cry after the hay is gathered. In addiAn, tho roots of the clover will supply your | land with nitrogen: Of cours\ yon could not pasture die land while wit, as that would ruin tho clover and iiVuro the laud. Tlio vetch is another a>od plant to furnish a winter pasturojn your section. Question 3.—Do you think it will pay to haul cottonseed Id miles and cs:- change for meal and hulls, where I can got for 000 pounds of cottonseed 300 pounds of meal and 000 pounds of hulls? Answer 3.—The 800 pounds of meal would bo worth say $3.00. The 000 pounds of hulls $100. Thus you would | got $3.00 for 30 bushels of cottonseed j after hauling them 12 miles, Tho hire of tho driver and team you must cornier ut least §!.<*», so yon will have left $3.50 in meal and hulls for 30 bushels of cottonseed. Don’t do it; don’t sell it at 13, or even 15 cents a bn hel, but ur.o it on your farm, in in- ereasiu# tho fertility of your land, and in this way making it worth more to you than you can possibly sell it for.
