The energetic and ever vigilant President OF
the Eastern Division Fair has spoken to the
public as he always speaks. TO the point; and,
ms the writer is somewhat of a professional cr-
horten he will presume to follow Up the cGvs-
tic remarks and urgent appeals of Chancellor
Temple with few words Of application.
lie tells the reader that the citizens Of Knox
Vile, Knox county and East Tennessee ought
to take stock in this great enterprise. Now the
public are not aware, cannot be, that there IS a
mammoth debt of over eight thousand dottGrs
hanging over and weighing down, like q terrible
incubus, this institution say they cannot be
aware of this stupendous fact or else they would
come to its relief have access 70 the books
and papers and know whereof affirm. II Is 50,
and the larger proportion Of this vast amount INT
is owing to an indulgent creditor who says he
can't wait any longer for his dues; that he has
been patient and indulgent; and that he must
have his pay in order to meet his own oollga-
tons happen to know that he has. shown no
disposition to annoy or Cypress the institution,
but, on the contrary has labored with indetat-
igable zeal and industry to contribute to its sue
cess.
Then, there is pressing debt We owe the
Messrs. Howell, from whom we purchased n
part Of the land. These gentlemen, to my GER
tain knowledge, have been honorable and for
bearing towards us. They have never sought
to cripple our operations by litigation or other
wise, when il was in their power TO do so. But
patience with both of these parties is becoming
threadbare and they now assure US thattthey
will be compelled, from the sternest necessity
to obtain their rights at the end OF the law we
can't blame them. They are only doing what
any of US would do under like circumstances.
There is but one teGy to obtain relief--ice must
Increase orr stock, as Judge Temple suggests
There is no lodging this issue unless We have
made up our minds to let our property come I'M
der the hammer Are we ready for that? Think
twice The city of Knoxville could meet
this entire Indebtedness, if she would. 1t could
be made up in small sums so small, indeed
that her citizens would not feel it But to make
long matter n short one, will submit the fol-
lowing proposition. Let it be acted upon at
once and in thirty days we will be free from
debt 1t is this There are one hundred mon
in this city who could subscribe stock to the
amount of thirty dollats each seventy-fve,
twenty each, and fifty, ten each. This would
give US five thousand dollars.
Now if they will do this, l will agree to can
vass Knox county from one end to the other,
| and will pledge myself if energy and perse-
verance can do it,, to raise three thousand dol
| lars more This will put us out of debt
Now gentlemen, what say you Will you
''come to time ~ Business Is business We
| have done "lrird ,rork' long enough. The
| time for action has come. Let us be 'firely."
| an ready TO wait, with the utmost complsis-
ance, upon all anaious gentlemen to enter their
names upon our stock books as stockholders.

That il was very cold yesterday morning we

to be general clash Of the thermometer One

Live Stock Mark e..
HORSES AND MULES.

There is not great deal doing in horses and
mules, though the market has been looking, up
are buying all the mules, Offering for the
Southern trade, at prices ranging from $40 to
Sl35. Two weeks ago one of the firm left for At
lanta with car load of horses and one of mules
and on last night, the 10Th inst, sent down
another car load in charge of Colonel S II.
Davis. Owing to the scarcity of money in the
South minimum prices only are realized for
stock, with decided preference for mules over
horses, SO that parties wishing to sell. for this
trade cannot expect to realize fancy prices.
There i. no local demand for stock either
horses or mules those desiring to purchase
either buying on the street or leaving their
orders with the regular dealers. Mr.. J. w,
Parneter for the past two months hes averaged
selling one week, sometimes two or three IL
week. As in Georgia, the preference is for
mules, S2eo, per pair having been obtained for
good animals
The sale of stock is one Of great Importance
and # properly managed could be made profit
able business With all the natural advantages
for raising stock, there is nothing to hinder The
majority Of farmers from raising annually one
or more colts for sale. Regular monthly sales
would be of great advantage to breeders and
buyers alike, and if commenced and kept up
for while and encouraged, would soon become

towns in Kentucky have their regular monthly
