Bny Won u Home.

Every MAJ should buy himself q town lot,
get that paid for, and then work to make the
necessary improvements. A little here and q
your own, and place you out of the landlords
grasp. Remember that one hundred dollars
year saved in rent will, in a few years, pay for
your home, and the money it costs you to move
and shift about without any loss of furniture
and time, pays the interest on five hundred
dollar judgment against your property until
you can gradually reduce it to nothing. You
can all buy that way-why do you not risk it?

many others which will start you in business.

NOTES FROM THE LITTLE ORGAN.

The little organ" sends congratulations this
morning to the Greeley organ" and with
great concern asks about that bargain and
sale The Republicans of Knox county don't
care about the bargain" but are interested to
know how cheap sale could be consummated
with the Knoxville ring for their broken
down organ
THE RESULT OF BAD ADVICE.
The radicals followed the Press and
Herold'S advice and voted "straight ticket"
in response to " Maynards war cry
CLEVER MAN" oyERwHELMEp.
Capt JAS Boyd was faithful, capable and
honest officer and is uuquest0nably the
strongest man Of the Democratic party in Knox
county but even he could not bear up under
the terrible weight of the adventurous crew
that control the Greeley organ and assume to
manipulate Knox county.
THE CoLoREp VOTE ANSWER. SUMNER.
The Press and HcraH did a good things in
circulating those Extras containing Summers
letter and their frantic appeals to the colored
vote. The colored people of Knox county an
swer sumner in the emphatic vote they gave
yesterday. They prefer Grant, Wilson, Gerritt
Smith, Fred Douglass, Garrison and Beccher TO
Greeley. Sumner, Tweed Seymour, Wade
Hampton & Co
THE MATTER EXPLAINED.
The editor of the Press and Herald has been
much concerned lately about the management
of the CHRONICLE. He has been free to give
his advice to Republicans to get somebody to
manage it that knew something Of Knox county
politics. He has been exercised over the little
;nogul and his myrmidons the county
committee. For example of what the little
mogup and his "myrmidons - know about
Knox county politics we refer him to the re-
turns Of yesterdays election.
EXPLANATIONS IN ORDER.
This morning will be good time for explain
ations. The Greeley organ" will have one,
we know. 1t will probably say APATHY" has
caused the defeat 1t may say offices are for
those who work for them and not those who ask
for them. All this will do very we'll to cover
up the bad management of the Greeley organ
and the follies of the Knoxville clique" LIS
foolish and desperate appeals yesterday morn
ing for straight tickets show the organ knew
of the terrible defeat awaiting it. 1t bad policy
on the eve of defeat to make sue h frantic strug-
giles. We pity the big org an" The men
whom it has started up salt r liver will avoid its
leadership hereafter. Such Waterloo def eats
demand change of leaders. Even Knoxville,
the Democratic stronghold, went Radical.
What commentary on the generaship of the
! great political strategst who assumes to control
not only county but.State politics.

Looking Cool,

How is it that women manage to look so cool
in warm weather. A man will go tapping
along with open vest, handkerchief in hand, hat
on the back of his head, hugging narrow strip
of shade on the sidewalk with logged desper-
alton, that projecting stoops, cellar doors and
wheelbarrows well nigh heightened to insanity
and making show of himself like boiled
carrot steaming from the pot while woman
a youpg woman-will turn out in streaked
dress, put on some kind of hy-net around her
waist, little frilling, some blue ribbon, and a
lace collar and sail along under MONDAY sun,
looking as cool and as graceful as Norway
pine ON its native hills. Why is it?

The fire was discovered by Mrs. Dawson, who
