These mills, built and managed by the
Rock City Paper Manufacturing Company,
are now in full operation, and visit to
them shows that they combine very COM
plete establishment. The original mills
comprised only a ''cyhnder machine,
which was run in wooden building, sup
piled with water from Browns Greek.
These have given place to an elegant brick
building, large enough for their very ex-
teusive machinery, with iron roofing, a
new and improved FourdenhieT machine,
with three sets of calenders, two superior
steam engines, of one hundred and twenty
five horse power respectively, and an
abundant supply of pure spring water,
from Trimbls spring. These improve
ments make the Rock City Mills equal to
any in the Southern country, and will en-
able them to compete with any OF the
North in the quality and price OF their
papers. They are making wrapping, man
lila, plotting, news and book pspers, using
the best material and producing excellent
articles of all grades Already they are
selling blotting papers in the New York
and Boston markets, which is held there
as better and cheaper than can be had
nearer home.

under the Presidency of Sam. III. Scott, a
resident of this city for nearly thirty years,
and we'll known for great portion of the

THE GERMAN EMPIRE.
The inaugural of Emperor William

The Anaus urah Oh EHAPcEoE "hAAh'
LONDON, Jan. 1s.-King William has
issued the following proclamation at Yer
sailles on the occasion of his assumption
of the imperial crown. He says:
In consequence of the appeal of Ger
man princes and free towns for us TO re-
store the German empire, after lapse of
sixty years, we announce that we con-
slider it our duty to Fatherland to accept
the imperial dignity. Henceforth we and
our successors will bring to the title
Emperor of Germany and hope that God
will vouchsafe a blissful future to
Fatherland, and that under our auspices
its ancient splendor may be restored. We
partake of the dignity conscious of our
duty to preserve with German fidelity the
rights of the empire and the rights of its
members; to maintain peace; to support
and strengthen Germany in the hope of
the German people will reap in lasting
peace within our boundaries the fruits of
their bloody battles and be safe against
a renewal of French attacks. God grant
that we and our successors may protect
the Empire, not by warlike conquests but
by works of peace, freedom, and civil
zation.
There was great military pageant at
Versailles in honor of the restoration of
the German Empire.
BERLIN, Jan. 18.-To-day, exactly 179
years after the coronation of the first
King of Prussia, King William accepts
the title of Emperor of Germany. The

stresmers, and is tonight Illuminated.
VERSAILLES, Jan. 19.-William of
Prussia was to-day proclaimed Emperor

LAmENTABLE DEATH.

Death of the Rev. Neri Lowe, of
Wilson County, by DrOWning.He
Leaves His Home on Thursday,
Goes to the River and Deltbers
ately Jumps In.
Intelligence was received here yesterday
of the death of Rev. Ner Lowe, residing
on his farm near Hunts Ferry, in Wilson
county, on Thursday, by drowning. 1t
appears, from the information We could
gather, that for some time pre-
Yious to the sad occurrence, Mr..
loves mind had been somewhat
affected and had been gradually becoming
worse until it eliminated in self destruc-
ton. He is said to have taken his hat and
cIook, and making some commonplace re-
mark as to his going out for short time,
walked directly to the Cumberland river,
not far from his residence, and jumped in
and sank to rise no more. His body had
not been recovered at last accounts. Mr..
Lowe was q gentleman about sixty
years of age, and was one Of
the most eminently estimable
men of Wilson county, and most exem-
plsry Christian gentleman, beloved by all
who knew him. We learn that he was
originally from Rutherford county, and
was one of the principal spirits in the
founding of the celebrated Union Univer-
sity in that county. The sad occurrence
has cast gloom of sorrow over the entire
community in which he resided and was
g. , well and favorably known.

that discourages such movements.
Several other gentlemen addressed the

What the Erankfng Privilege Costs

The Postmaster General has communi-
Gated to the Senate q statement in relation
to free matter passing through the mails.
1t appears that in December, 1869, each
Postmaster was instructed to take an
average monthly account of all franked
or free matter deposited at their respect
i've offices for mailing for the period of
six months, commencing Jan. ! and end
ing June 80, 1870. The total number of
Offices from which reports were due was
%, 492, but the number from which full
or partial reports were received was only
8, 5SS, nearly 20, COG wholly failing to
report. The returns of the 1858 re-
porting Offices show that within the six
months there were transmitted 5,140, 796
franked letters, the postage upon which,
at the established rate, amounted to
1856, 548, and 2,047, 81 pounds of other
frsnked matter, such as printed docu-
ments and seeds, upon which the postage
at established rates amounted to $3.50, S4S,
making altogether, for six months, for
postage on free matter, the snm of $780,
396. At fair rate of estimate for the
nearly 20, 900 non-reporting Post Offices,

The Joneeboro Herald and Tribune
saws: Some of the citizens living near
the base of the tall and rugged mountains
bordering on the Southeastern portion
of this county, have been most terribly
excited by a huge serpent, or we might
perhaps say animal, that has been making
his mark in that immediate settlement,
during the late snow. 1t is not often that
serpents leave their dens during the cold
weather, but this one is certainly an ex-
ception to all others. 1t seems that an
honest mountafneer whose flock of geese,
six in number, which had their rOOsting
plsce near their masters's domicil, were
all missing one morning about fortnight
since. Search was made to find the var
NIT that had carried off the fowls, but
no tracks could be found. 1t was after
wards discovered that the depradations
had been committed by large snake,
who was tracked to his den in ledge of
rocks.

INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.
Meeting of the Board of Managers
Last Night.

A meeting Of the managers Of the forth
coming Industrial Exposition was held last
night at the Office of I. II. Jones & Co,
President Weskley in the chair, and Mr..
L. 81, Jones, acting as Secretary pro tenn,
Secretary Masse1gale being absent on &C
count of sickness in his family.
The Secretary read the minutes of the
last meeting which were adopted as read.
The report of the Committee on Publ
cation being called for, I. H. Jones, from
that committee, arose and said that they
had found, upon investigation, that the
number of names of manufacturers in
Tennessee would reach to near 5, 900. He
made several other minor statements, but
simply wished to report progress, and that
the committee would require further time
In preparing their written report.
Mr.. Hensley thought that manufacturers
sending articles here for exhibition, should
receive diplomas; that they might have
something TO show that they had been re-
presented in the Industrial Exposition,
and as a lasting evidence of the merit of
their several articles and products, and as
an advertisement for the same, and there
by be on an equal, In this respect, with the
manufactures Of Nashville, etc.
of diplomas, and many thought it decid-
eddy best to issue diplomas, and be gov
erned in the issuance of duplicates by sim
liar rules adopted by the Cincinnati Assr-
citation.
President Weskley thought that the di-
ploms business was productive of evil
results in the end, giving his views there
on somewhat at length, and illustrating by
many instances known to himself and
others, where the awarding of diplomas
was the cause of much dissatisfaction, and
thought, on the whole, that the Tennessee
Industrial Exposition had better not issue
premiums or diplomas.
After a very lengthy discussion it was
resolved to abide the decision of the last
meeting, l. e., not to issue diplomas or
premiums-the reasons for this determina-
ton to be published In connection with
the circular soon to be sent out by the
Committee on Publication.
The Committee on Finance made
verbal report indicating progress.
Mr.. Hensley offered the following reso-
luton which was adopted:
Resolved, That In order to facilitate the
contribution of articles to the Exposition,
from the various sections of the State, the
President be instructed to appoint one
leading manufacturer in each town or city
of any note in the State, as a member Of
the Board, and that said appointee be
earnestly requested to urge upon the at
tention of his especial community the i'm
portanoe of the exposition to the various
mechanical and mineral interests Of the
State and solicit contributions both Of
manufactures and minerals afforded by his
particular locality for exhibition.
The Board then adjourned till Friday
evening next-the regular meeting nigh

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-On the arrival
