THE THIRD VOLUME.

We enter with this issue upon the THIRD
Volume of the KNOXVILLE DAILY CHRONICLE
During the two years just closed, we nave
labored with what ability we possessed Tor the
advancement of what we conceived to be the
right and have not been sparing IN denuncla-
ton of what. in our opinion, was wrong, and in
commencing another volume, we have no new
pledges to offer, but will continue our efforts to
make the CHRONICLE worthy of the liberal sup
mort it has received from the commencement of
its publication. An exciting political campaign
has just opened and we hope that our old friends
who have long stood by us, together with many
new ones, will aid in bringing our paper to the
notice of their frienos and all others who wish
to keep posted on the issues of the day as de-
velOped in the canvass

The Fair Grounds.

Yesterday afternoon, in company withMessrs.
Charlton, Woodruff and Helms, we paid Wis
it to the Fair Grounds, and there found fresh
evidence Of the laborS Of the new administra-
ton, under the direction of Judge Temple,
the President, and his efficient colleague, Mr.
Charlton, Secretary of the Agricultural Soci-
ETY.. Along the fence and in other portions of
the grounds large number of trees and shrub
berry have been planted, which are protected
by railing from stock, and are growing finely,
having been carefully set out In few years
these trees will afford protection from the sun
to the thousands who will annually assemble on
the grounds, besides adding much to their beau
ty.
The track has washed but little during the
winter and is in good order though some work
will be done in order to make it one of the best
race courses in the State. The grounds are
all under good fence, and together with the
buildings are under the surveillance of Mr..
Sartain. We confidently hope our next fall
fair will be the grandest exhibition ever known
in East Tennessee, and if untiring energy on
the part of the friends of the Society can aid
in this result, it will be done
