of the Knox county cypress: 80 XXI
This paper, which is one of the organs. OF
the AbOlitionists in this county, was sold at
Sheriff's sale on Tuesday, to Mr. Hiram H.
Little, the plaintiff in the suit and we be-
lieve one of the dozen former Proprietors OF
the paper, for Jne sum of one thousand dol

the demands of other creditors. Ourpious

dred dollars, which, we think, in view of the
large amount of dirty work the.paper has
done for him, should be marked satisfied"
What the future of the paper is to be we
have not learned, and certainly donot care.
