Christmas Is Coming,

And the young people of Swoetwatcr,
should be taking some steps toward cclo-
brating the holidays in a manner that
would be pleasing to all-both old and
young.
A Christmas tree for the Sabbath School
would be worry nice, and would, no doubt,
meet the approval of all. Besides, it
would encourage and build up the School
to a considerable extent. We would also
suggest that we have a tableau entertain
ment, which would be, if gotten up in
style, q great treat to the old and young.
BY all means we must have a Sabbath
School Christmas tree, if nothing else.
Who will take hold of this? We merely
make the suggestion, at present, but if we
can get the cooperation of others we will
do all we can to get them up.

Groceries, Clothing, &C., as any

Lively Times.


Our town has been quite lively for the
past week. The streets have been crowd
ed with wagons from the country, many
of them from North Carolina, loaded with
produce, all Of which brought fair prices,
and is still in demand. The wagons on
their return, were heavily laden with
general merchandise. We ask the far
mers to continue to bring their produce
to this market, as you can get as good, and
in some instances better prices for it than
in any other market on the railroad, and
can buy what goods you may want as cheap
as to be had anywhere. Come along.

tried them can, no doubt, testify to this
fact. Those who desire the Doctors pro.

that they should all go to one office.

improvements.

Swectwator is fast improving, more so
than any other town on the road from
Chattanooga to Knoxville, New build
iugs are rapidly going up, and her popu-
lation gradually increasing, but, we regret
to have it to say, she is almost destitute of
sidewalks, and those that we have, with
the exception of the one leading from the
Depot to Childress' Store, are in a most de-
plorablo condition. No exertions are be-
ing put forth to make our streets passable
in wet weather. A few dollars expend-
ed by each one of our citizens would
place the sidewalks in such a condition
as to render locomotion much less difficult,
and decidedly more pleasant. Our Church's
are almost inaccessible, on this account,
and those who wear shoes have to see that
they are securely tied upon their feet be-
fore v%enturing out, else they might leave
them as ornaments in the mud. This does
not speak we'll for the place, but it is, new
ertheless, true. Now, who will be the
first to make their mark in this important
matter? All that is necessary, is for some
one to put the ball in motion, and we are
of opinion, that the rest will keep it a 60
ing. If this is done, it will not be long
before we will be enabled to keep our feet
out of the miro and the clay, and the la
dies can then unhouse themselves and at
tend church, do their own shopping, and
promenade the streets with some degree
of pleasure, and without fear of soiling
their dresses. Commence this improve
ment at once, and then hurry its compile
tion.

If any inquiries should be made as to
how this can be done, we can inform all
that the initiatory step in that direction,
is to pay, in advance, the subscription
price for at least one year. This is easily
done when two dollars is all that is asked
for an entire twslve-month. Two dollars
is a small amount, and two from all would
help us a great deal, Let every one take

men should be farmers, or even gardeners, but

of money OF stocks or mortgages is an absolute
safeguard against disaster and consequent WANT
but the thrifty, wealthy, busy citizen who has
bought O snug homestead and had IL properly

We urge every one who has means to secure
