Morrison read a letter from the County Agent’s office addressed to Mrs. Nethery as President of the Garden Club inviting her to attend a meeting at the Dade High Lunch Room for the purpose of discussing and planning for county organization to sponsor community improve¬ ment. Mrs. DeWitt Williams made a motion that Mrs. Nethery go and represent the Club There was a discussion that something might be done to pre¬ vent people from gathering hon¬ eysuckle, dogwood, rhododen¬ dron, etc. from along the Tren- ton-LaFayette highway, perhaps ask the property owners to post signs. Mrs. Nethery agreed tc take this up at the community improvement meeting. Mrs. Nethery also requested tha 1 the Club cooperate in the Bap¬ tist Cemetery clean up campaign, prior to Decoration Day on May 30. Mrs. W. H. Brock inquired a- bout the whereabouts of the first Memory Book and since no one seemed to know, Mrs. Nethery suggested that we ask our Pub¬ licity Chairman, to run a little ad in the paper hoping thereby to locate the book. Mrs. Nethery suggested that she thought it would be nice for the Club to plant Memorial trees for those who died in service. A Flower Day committee was appointed to collect flowers to be taken to the hospital with Mrs. S. J. Hale, Chairman and Mesdames S. L. Sells, F. N. Belk. A L.

C. Guinn’s spring near this place. About 9 o’clock the school assembled at the Church and headed by the Fur¬ nace string band marched over to the spring, a distance of one mile. The day was extremely warm, the heat being a halt dozen paper collars and' two palm leaf fans in the shade. The school was called together by the superintendent, Rev.J. J. Hen in, about ten o’clock and addressed by Mr. Wesley Thur¬ man. Mr. Thurman made a good, sound talk, which was well received. Mr. Lucius Braswell, was n_x. cahcd upon and re¬ sponded in a very appropriate address by showing the import¬ ance of a Sunday 'school. Mr. Herrin was the next to follow, and after a very few interesting remarks announced dinner. The table contained the very richest viands the country affords, and suffice to say that it was prepar¬ ed with the utmost skill and taste,which could not have been excelled by any people. It is not necesstry for us to say anything more in regard to the dinner, for the good people of the Fur¬ nace know how to provide foi just such occasions. After dinn¬ er the crowd indulged in swing¬ ing and other harmless amuse¬ ment until a late hour in the .ifternoon, when all dispersed to their several homes. The suc¬ cess of the occasion is due to its manager who exerted every possible means for the enjoy¬ ment of the crowd. Owing to Ihe limited time invitations could not be extended to neigh¬ boring Sunday Schools, and con¬ sequently the people did not turn out as well as they other¬ wise would have done. In con¬ clusion we would say the day will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to be present. Furnace Dots, July 8, 1881 DADE HIGH 4-H CLUB MEETS The Dade High 4-H Club met Monday in the school auditori¬ um. Curtis Forester, President, conducted the meeting. The meeting opened with a reading from th Bible, a prayer and the 4-H Club pledge. The Secretary, Beatrice Williams, called the roll and read the min¬ utes of the last meeting. Many new members had joined at the last meeting and they were asked to stand. Mrs. W. H. Pullen and Mrs. Catherine Morri¬ son, Advisers, were present and made a few remarks. The meeting was then turned over to Mr. Adams, Mr. Ayers and Miss Boswell. Mr. Adams asked if there were enough children who lived near enough and who would like to continue the Club through the summer. There were and the notices will be sent out when and where the next meeting will be. The boys and girls then split up into two groups and Miss Bos¬ well talked to the girls and Mr. Ayers to the boys about the dif¬ ferent projects being worked on. Books were distributed to keep The records of these projects. Decoration - Memorial — AT — Byrd’s Chapel Sunday May 16,10:30 A. M, Last Tuesday's wind storm was short but played havoc with the trees. We hear one was blown across the Newsom road up Lookout Mountain and many fruit trees in the valley were | uprooted. branches Many large limbs and : were torn off the trees in the valley. The following is another ar¬ ticle on agriculture w'ritten by one of the Seniors at Dade High School. AGRICULTURE By Charlotte Sullivan The farmer is a modern Atlas bearing the world on his shoul¬ ders. To him we ail look for our daily bread. If he were to lay down his burdens all other in¬ dustries would stop and mankind would immediately go back to primitive conditions. Although agriculture, the art or science of the production of crops and livestock, has been practiced since the late Stone Age, more progress has been made in the last two centuries than in alt the thousands of years preceeding. If a farmer in the days of George Washing¬ ton could visit an up to date larm today, he would be aston¬ ished by the changes. With the wonderful labor saving inven¬ tions at his command, the farm¬ er of today can cultivate 750 acres as easily as Washington’s father cultivated 50, or as easi¬ ly as the primitive farmer cul¬ tivated one. This improvement in food pro¬ duction was essential to our modern industry’s development. A stick was the first hand tool used to scratch the surface of the ground before planting, and x forked stick, held in the ground by the plowman while the oxen dragged it ahead, was the first plow. Improvements were very slow, and after thousands of years farmers were still using clumsy wooden implements. The first settlers in America found the natives practicing a rude sort of agriculture. When the oak leaves had be¬ come the size of a mouse’s ear, the planting season began. The women scratched the ground with a sharpened stick or with the shoulder-bone of a deer, and planted their corn, beans and squash. When the corn was a nand’s-breadth above the ground they began the cultivation, keep¬ ing the soil loosened and free of weeds. The European methods with which the colonies were famil¬ iar were ill suited to conditions in the new world. If the Indian had not come to the help of the white man, he would have un¬ doubtedly have starved in a land of plenty. In time, however, American methods of farming came to be a combination of European and native Indian practices. A few far seeing men however, saw the need of agri¬ culture and the political upheav¬ al which was sure to come if the farmers could not be assured of sufficient return for their work. Local and state associations were formed to study the problems of farming and to seek means of improvement. Conditions in Europe were investigated: papers and books were issued and some slight beginnings of agriculture education were instituted. Then came the ‘‘era of internal improvements,” with the build¬ ing of roads, the coming of the canal and the appearance of the steamboat on western rivers. This brought a new life to the larmers of the central states. When the railroads finally link¬ ed these states with the east, national unity was assured and a new spirit of enterprise stir¬ red the w'hole land. The mid west farmers could not market their, crops profit¬ ably; but more important t.hey were stimulated by the contacts with the east and a new social and political consciousness ap¬ peared. The west made itself felt in national affairs ; Henry Clay, Andrew Jackson and other westerners were national leaders Even the general public in the cities was made to realize sharp¬ ly the need of promoting the interests of the farmers.. Con¬ gress provided funds for a sur¬ vey of conditions and schools were established for teaching the principles of farming. It was seen that a permanent progress¬ ive agricultural program was es¬ sential to the welfare of the na¬ tion. The United States became a leader not only in agriculture education but also in the inven¬ tion and use of farm machinery. The first settlers farmed mostly oy hand. In 1636, it is said there v'ere but 30 plows in the whole of Mass Bay Colony; most of the work tvas done with a hoe which only scratched the surface. But when the great stretches of fer¬ tile land were opened to settle¬ ment, the scarcity of man power made machinery necessary. The invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793 brought in¬ creased prosperity to the South. Charles Nehold in 1797 patented Ed. Gazette—On last Thursday ..light daring the storm one ol the men, a bright mulatto, who came here to work stoie a valu¬ able horse from Mr. James Campbell, who lives on the Mountain in Walker County. It seems that some of the men became dissatisfied after theii arrival here and he and one ol his companions started on foot to Chattanooga and separated on the mountain—he going one vay and his companion tht uther. Mr. Campbell went out to the stable and found the door open and started out in pursuit and found his horse tied out in front of the Baptist Church, and cn the inside his man asleep He was carried before ’Squire Kilgore for preliminary examin¬ ation and was commited to the Walker County jail to await triai at the next term of th Superior Court, where he will nc doubt, be sent around the moun¬ tain for at least ten years.

In 1819 Jethro Tull patented a plow with re- placable parts. Jail Nourse im¬ proved the cast iron plow and in 1825 James Oliver began his ex¬ periments with chilled iron plows. Soft scouring steel walk¬ ing plows, the first that success¬ fully cut the sticky prairie soil were made by John Lane in 1833 and by John Deere in 1837. Planting and reaping machin¬ ery were developed slowly. For reaping the early American settlers used . the hand scythe, equipped with a hole to hold the cut grain. Crude horse rakes were used as early as 1812 and threshing machine driven by hand power had been introduced by 1802. The cultivater began to replace hoes abbut 1820. Mowing oy machinery came even more slowly. The vast reaches of the west could not turn into wheat fields until about 1850, when Cyrus McCor¬ mick began the large scale pro¬ duction of the reaping machine lie had invented in 1831. Mc¬ Cormick’s reaper by stimulating the rapid development of the northwest and bringing the pro¬ duction of a flood of grain was a powerful factor in the defeat of the south in the Civil War. The improved reaper of today the marvelous combine drawn by powerful tractors, cutting on 8 ft., swath, reaps threshes and sacks the grain from 2‘/ 2 acres in an hour ; the largest size with a 35 ft cutter bar is capable of harvesting 10 acres an hour. The machinery of now can help one man do the work of fifteen. The animals and plants have all been improved.
