A NICE PREsENT.-0n Monday Gov. Brownlow
the recipient OF wagon load of Coal from
Chamberlain, Richards & Co. This was from the
first load Of coal brought that great enter
prise the Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad. For
taking the initatory step in working the inezhaus-
tible coal banks on the line Of the Knoxville and
Kentucky road, Chamberlain, Richards & Co. de-
serve great credit. They pubc-spirited, enter
prising men, and deserve the encouragement Of all
classes Of our people In their note 10 the Cover
nor accompanying the present, for which he takes
this medium to return his thanks, these gentlemen
say:
For the successful opening up Of this enterprise,
We feel ourselves indebted to the liberaty Of the
State and 70 the public spirit and energy OF isof-
Gals; also 10 the President and managers of the
Knoxville aud Kentucky Railroad.
And we hope this is ouly the forerunner Of other
projects which shall increase and developthe wealth
and resources of our State.

LIFE INsURANcE-By reference TO our advertis-
ing columns, it wiz be seea that Hu. L. McClung,
well known to the people Of this community, is the
General Agent for East Tennessee for the Carolina
Life Insurance Company of Memphis. Col. Nc
Chung is man in every wsy reliable, and withAl q
man Of fine business qualifications. As for his in
tegrity, honesty and business capacity il is however
unnecessary for us TO speak. The Knowledge the
people Of East Tennessee have Of him makes this
unnecessary. These having business in his line will
do well to call upon him.

SUBSTANTIAL FRIENDs.-A few days ago one Of
our distinguished friends stepped into the Tailoring
establishment Of Messrs. Hope & Wedekind, and
ordered at his expense the best suit Of clothes
that they could manufacture, to be presented to
Governor Brownlow.
A few days subsequent 70 this, the same firm re-
oeived similar order from a gentleman in Middle
Tennessee. 1t is unnecessary to say anything rels
tive to their quality. The fact that they we're made
up at Hope & Wedekind's is sufficient evidence Of
their superiority. Did ever any man have such
friends or such enemies as Governor Brownlow p
The names Of the donors are and will remain IN
known to the Governor.
