Philadelphia will be made this winter, we are
told. A gentleman owning large body of
land fronting on the railroad, intends laying it
off in building lots and offering them for sale at
low rates. This policy if carried out can not
fail to secure the desired end.
Philadelphia boasts one of the largest, bold |
est, and coolest spring in East Tennessee which |
supplies large number of the population with |
water.
A little incident happened to one of the Knox
Vile delegation, which will bear telling Bus |

vested himself of clothing and took a nap pre-
viously. The gentleman at whose house he
was stopping stood sentry, and hearing the rum
BILE of the train hastily awakened our friend,
who arose and hurriedly dressed, and was horri-
fed to find his collar wouldn't button. However,
there was no time to waste, and he rushed to the
depot, valise in hand, as the freight train stop

the condition of his wearing apparel

backwards, and the back was where the bosom
