A Word 20 Farmers.

We invite attention to the new adverts
Of Geo. Brown, who offers to the farmers of
East Tennessee rare inducements in his line of
business. Judge Brown gives his own personal
attention to the operations of the establishment
and having abundant capital and enlarged
business capacity, he is enabled to offer agrcul-
'tural machinery and seeds of every kind at
lowest rates. His seeds are purchased by the
car load for cash. and he is therefore able to get
the best kinds and sell them low. He has SUI
perior means for preserving his seeds, and in
this department. presents advantages superior to
any other house. We advise our friends to give
his establishment visit and see for themselves
before trading elsewhere.

We are satisfied that the appropriation for the
construction of n bridge across the Holston at
Knoxville is ample, and that the committee
appointed by the Court to superintend the build

strated, in n circular issued July 18th, to the

VIII Knoxville be benefited by the bridge ?

reaching 1t are increased But does the i'm
provemcnt of Knoxville benefit the country {?
II does for the sand, lime, cement, lum Der and
almost everything that is used in the coDsruc-

sides the buildings which will be and are now
being erected are to be occupied; the occu-
pants are to be fed and must get their supplies

Co., and others that equal it in elegance Though
not SO arge) will impress any one at once with
the idea that the grounds on which they are
erected and tho adjacent lots are increased in
value. This increased valuation will go into
the common treasury, helping to defray the
expenses of the county, while it will lessen the
amount to be raised from our friends in the
country.
viii the income from the bridge be applied
for the benefit of the people? We think it will
from the fact that the county has entire control
of the bridge There are lorty-four magistrates

been selected by the different districts as good
