TO THE POINT.
Something Must be Done.

1t is we'll known to this community that Wig
orous measures were inaugurated, both by the
business men of Knoxville and the Directors OF
the Eastern Division Fair. quite recently, to IN
crease the capital stock of this institution;
These measures Wree promptly put to work ana
for number Of days active and persistent CT
forts made to induce the citizens to take stock
enough to place the Fair upon solld OASIS.
Upto the present moment, L am sorry to say,
our efforts have not met our reasonable eXpec-
tations.
What is the NATTER Is our Fair of so little
importance that it fails to attract attention? Is
it worth nothing to this active, thriving and in
teligent community? Is it nuisance? lfsO,
let US abandon the grounds, tear down the en-
closures and surrender to the hogs and cattle l
send forth no doubtful utterance when say
that this institution properly organized with
sufficient means to run 1t and to place 1t
out of debt, will be worth thousands upon
thousands of dollars to the city of Knoxville, and
will do more towards developing the industrial
resources and industries of our section than al
most anything else of which we have any con-
ception.
Men aud brethren, what say you? What
have you concluded to do? In the name OF our
great section, and in behalf of our agricultural
interests, which, to us, are of incalculable
value, l appeal to you to know It 1t Is your
purpose to fold your arms and let This stupen-
dous work go down with crash No, thou
sand times, NO !! Let US be men,. strong, and
courageous men, who never falter in the hour
of extremity. Let us band together as one man
in the upbuilding of this imperishable work.
Let US put the cqp-stone upon it We can do
it. See how our young city is growing, widen
ing and expanding. Look at her magnificent
and pallatial buildings Stand upon Gay street
and behold the mighty change which is going
on Will we turn our backs upon that noble
momemont of our industry and enterprise just
outside the limits of our city? Tell it not IN
Gath nor publish it in the streets of Askelon

The Market HOuse.

Within the past few days considerable i'm
provementS have been made in the Market
House, in the increased number of stalls and
tables and new arrangement Ct the same, which
will work alike to the interest Of buyers and
sellers There are fifteen stalls, eight on the
east and seven on the west side, one stall at the
south end exclusively for butter and two long
tables for fish at the north end. Down the CEN
tro of the building are two rows of vegetable
stands with divisions to keep each variety sep
arate. These are for the use of the country
people exclusively, and no charge is made for
selling at these stands This arrangement fur
nishes double the room for display and for ex-
animation by purchasers, as can be readily seen
on examination.
The stalls have been newly fitted up and show
that the Committee on Market and Buildings,
as also Mr.. A. D. Haynes, the efficient Market
Master, are alive to the importance of the re-
market will compare favorably with that of
most inland cities in the South
