Three Men Drowned.

We learn that on Friday last, two white
men named Robt. and William Brewer,
and a negro man named Henry Rice, EN-.
ployed by MeSsrs. Christian q Co., of
London, we're drowned, about one mile
above the city in tho Tennessee River.
The men had been sent up the river after
a raft of logs and attempted to cross the
river in a small skif. The high wind
turned the boat over and the men sunk
at once. We have received the following
particulars Of this melancholy affair
through the Loudon Journal. That pa
per says
As we go to press this Friday evening"
we are called upon to choniclc the death
by drowning of Robert Brewer, William
Brewer, white, and Henry Rice, col. The
three men were employees at the Steam
Saw Mill, and had heen sent two miles up
the river to bring down a raft of logs, and
instead of taking the skiff up the river
they crossed at the ferry and walked
across the bottom to a point opposite the
"Notch in the Hill," where they again
took shipping in a very rickety craft, and
after two unsuccessful attempts to cross,
while in the third effort their frail bark
went down. The two white men could
swim and had it not been for wind and
wave would have saved themselves, but
being overcome blythe waves when within
some 20 or so feet from shore they sank
to rise no mere. The colored man could
not swim and failing to take hold of the
sunken craft to support himself wentdown
and was seen no more. Two Of the I'M
fortunate men leave families to mourn
their untimely loss. They were all in the
vigor of manhood. Diligent search is be-
ing made by our citizenSIO or their bodies,
but to no effect when we go to press.
We learn from Mr.. W. C. Cleveland
who visited Loudon, on Saturday last,
that the bodies of the two white men were
recovered Saturday morning, within
twelve feet of the bank. The boat hav.
ing capsized in the middle of the river
they had a good distance to swim, and
consequently gave out before reaching the
bank.
The body of the negro was recovered
on Monday.

DEAR CHARLIE: As my stay in Upper

you a line. am often delayed awaiting
transportation, and put in my leisure
hours, orsths most of them talking poll
tics. The Gubernatorial race is about to
fade out Of sight, as Governor Brown is
not likely to have al opponent. All the
talk here, among Democrats, is on the
subject of the race for Congrsss in the Sc
cond district. As Maynard has been re-
commended AZ Vice to Grant, both parties
are casting about for a suitable candidate.
ASH am not in fellowship with the Grant
party, / know nothing Of their map. The
Democratic party in this district have
several prominent men. Since Col. Fleming
has declined the race, his friends appear
to chime in with the friends OF c.. ".

courteous manner Of meeting men, andhis
acknowledged ability. tOgether' with his

HiWaSSee College.


The closing exercises % this School
took place on the 18th inst,
The day was very inClemcnt, not a fay-
Orable time by any means, for a school
exhibition. Yet the attendance was very
good. Many of the friends and patrons
of the Institution were present to give
encouragement to the preceptOr, and cheer
the students in the pursuit OF mental cul-
ture. The exercises were opened with
prayer by the Rev. j. II. Drummer. The
audience was then entertained by decla.
nations and OratiOns from the members
of the school, all of whom did credit to
themselves and instructor. Without de-
traction to any members Of the school,
we cannot refrain mentioning the names
of some, whose subjects very torcibly
| struck us, viz Mr. l. V Bennett, subject,
sour Country aud its Defender, Robt q
Lee" Mr. W B Stradley, "Vanity Of
Human Grandeur" Mr. W d Hunt,
"Ambition." Mr. r J Padelford, "Hang
Your Banner on the outer Wall" These
are a fsw. of the members that one day,
will hold an astonished world in suspense,
listening to their strains of elOquence.
The articulation, delivery and easy man
ner in which they spoke, shows that Prof.
Grace understands his business. After
the students of the school had spoken, the
Rev. W. W. Bays delivered an address
to the school, which was quite a literary
treat. 1t was such u discourse as is cal
culated to arouse the latent energies Of
our people, and awake to u sense Of duty,
those persons, that have long embraced
ignorance and considered it a bliss.
The exercises of the day, taken as i
whole, was a complete success, for which
both teacher and students deserve the
highest encomium. We are very sorry to
learn that Prof. Grace has resigned and
gone to his Southern home in Alabama,
He intends there TO establish a High

best wishes of bis many friends in Tenn

help the County Fair, which is to be held
near jacksonville, in the fall. But in
time, will m preparing for a fair
to be held here in the fall of 1873. 1t is
important that our County Fair should
receive the hearty cooperation Of the peo-
pie of this section, and next year, the peo-
pie of jacksonville and the upper end of
the county will aid US in a fair near this
place. Let Us all give encouragement and
assistance to the fair already established
in our county. We know We can't get
things our own way, every time, conse-
quently, we should give our assistance to
all enterprises set on foot that will bene.
fit the people of the county. Let good
feeling exist between the people Of this
and the upper end of the county, and we
may hope TO have better times. We are
decidedly in favor of the Fair, let it be
held where it may. t.s'
