L. W. Stockwell, of Sparta, Tenn., under date of May 29th sent a renewal for The Republican, and wrote: “We can not do without your paper; it is like two big letters each week from back home. It has been seventeen years since I came to Tennessee and I still love the dear old Jasper county people of whom I see so much in your paper. I like the country where I am but can not give it so much of a boost as Brother Halstead did Mississippi. I want to pay him a -visit this summer as he only lives about 100 miles southwest of here. The spring has been late and corn is not all planted yet There is a fine prospect for fruit, wheat, oats and grass. I wish yon and your readers and all my old friends much success in their various fields of labor.” Mr. Stockwell is proprietor of the Town Creek Mills at Sparta. —\
