country, and we have the promise of an
abundant yield of both peaches and apples.
The wheat was never more promising at
this season Of the year, and our farmers are
all at work, vigorously pushing forward
the work.-Moriaowa Gazette, April 20.

abundance OF fruit this season. The peach
trees, the apple trees, the pear trees, the

by cold weather, and we can look forward
to almost certain yield of an abundance

The First National Bank OF Knoxville,
having complied with the provisions of
! the late revenue law passed by the Legis-
lature Of Tennessee, has been designated
by the Comptroller as a depository Of State
| revenue for East Tennessee, and Collectors
Of Revenue are ordered to make their de-
| posts accordingly.
The WEATHER have had an abuu-
dance of rain within the last four or five
days-in fact entirely too much for farming
purposes. We fear that we have had too
much rain this spring for the wheat crop
it will make it so full of sap that it will
render it liable to rust later in the season.
The crop looks promising now.-CleUsland
Banner, AprH 80.
KNOXVILLE lRPRovNG.-Those who
doubt the growth and prosperity of Knox
vile, are invited to pay our town a visit
and see for Themselves. 1t is estimated
that six or eight hundred houses will 60
up this season of one kind and another.
The only trouble is about lumber, brick,
and workmen. House builders, and all
manner of building materials are in de-
mand, at even high cash prices.-KnOrUijIe

extending to the Kentucky line, were put

parties: Ed McLovern, J. T. Offutt & Co.,
b. F. Vaughn, III. F. Bib & Co., Thomas
Rosser, j. B. Nicely & Co., Frank Shofen,
Bridge Masonry, Gardner & Martin, Bridge
Masonry. This secures the completion Of
the road. And if Kentucky don't hurry
up we shall be at the State line first.-Rnor-
siae Wing, Apra 20.
BRUTAL.-We learn that, in removing
the earth thrown out of well dug by Mr.
Akin, at his new hotel, last week, which
well was dug last winter, the dead body Of
an infant was found. The man who dis
covered the body is said to have thrown il
10 his cart, hauled it of, and deposited il
with earth that he was removing, without
making any attempt at giving it Christian
burial. This act is more in keeping with
the instincts of heather than of civilized
man, living in an enlightened community.
-Knorville Wing, april 90.
A most beautiful water fowl was recent
ly captured on the premises Of Mr.. Kin
chen Jones, who resides on Buzzard creek,
in this county. 1t is said to be quite Gu
frosty, and decidedly a stranger in these
parts. No one has yet been able to call its
name. The bird, as represented, is about
the size Of goose; its bill is eight inches
long, perfectly round and sharp; large
webbed feet; very short, thin, broad legs
its neck and wing butts are a beautiful
green color, and its other features Of vari-
GUS colors, mostly black and white when
put in water it appears as much at home
as the fnny tribe.-Springfeld Register,
