The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1870-06-16
Knoxville.


On Saturday informing last we left our
l quiet aud peaceful little city to visit the
gay and festive" and business city Of
X knoxville, aed upon our arrival there We
9 a number OF our friends who gave us
a hearty welcome,
We visited the Agricultural Ware
House of McCorkle & Co., where We found
Agricultural implements IN abundance
aud "Mack" "all sitting up" at his post,
receiving aud filling orders for labor-say-
ing machines. This company understands
their calling, and can furnish the farmer
any kind of implement used on the farm.
McClung Il Bettersons' are still in the
Wholesale Liquor bushes, on Gay street,
and as slack" says they keep the best
wines aud liquors, country dealers, no
doubt, will find it to their advantage to
purchase from this firm,
We dropped in at the Wing Office and
found the editorial corps and printers all
at their posts, and we must say that new
err since we have been in the newspaper
business have We received such high COM
pIlment as was gwen las by the editors of
the Wing, in their Sunday issue. Gentle
men We return you our thanks, ana hope
that you will, at an early day "illuminate"
our sanctum by your presence, and rest
assured that you will receive a hearty
welcome.
We also visited the office Of the Daily
Cronicle, and received from its editors
a personal notice which was highly COM
plimeptary indeed, and for which we re-
turn them our thanks, aud as the editors
are gentlemen possessing a vast amount Of
'tallout" we hope they will yet be found
in the ranks of the great Conservative par
ty of Tennessee.
We then visited the Advertiser Office
and found its editor, Mr.. Hughes, engaged
in preparing his paper for the press, and
was pleased to learn that it was in a
hourishing condition, and with the as
s~istanee of j. II. Bean, formerly Of this
place, as composition, the paper was bound
to succeed. We will here state, for the
information of his relatives and many
friends at this place, that $40" has a good
situation, and if nothing happens will
make a name that will be an honor to
himself and the community where he was
raised.
In our perambulationa on Gay street
we dropped in at that large Wholesale
House carried on by Cowan, Nc
Chung & Co., where the employees we're
engaged in filling bills and shipping goods
to different points. This house is one of
the largest iu the city, and country mer-
chants in East Tennessee, North Carolina,
North Georgia and Alabama would prof
it by sending their orders to this firm, as
they keep a full stock, and will duplicate
any New York bills that are presented,
The Bell House, kept by Maj. Ross, is
well furnished, and the Major being an
experienced motel keeper understands
how to entertain his guests. The tables
are furnished with the best the country
affords, and we ask for the Bell House a
liberal patronage, with assurance Of mod
crate prices, plenty to eat and good beds.
We could say a great deal more of
Knoxville, its institutions, and many Of
our friends whom we met during our stay
in the city, but we have neither time nor
space to do so. Suffice it to say, Knox
vile is a business place and bids fair to
be one of the most h~ourishing and largest
cities in Tennessee.
