SURVIVORS OF THE MEXICAN WAR.
Let there be Grand Reunion.

A movement has been put on foot for a
Convention Of surviving soldiers of the
Mexican war to be held in this city on the
first day of the Eastern Division Fair which
will be October 9TH. A meeting of the
veterans was held at Cleveland on the 4th
inst, when the following preamble and
resolutions were passed:
WHEREAS, We, portion of the sur
viving soldiers of the war with Mexico In
1916, and s, desiring to be represented in
the National Convention and reunion of
our comrades which is proposed to be held
in Washington City, ID. c., on the 18th of
January, 1874, for the purpose of present.
ing to the Congress of the United States
the claims of the surviving soldiers of said
war to the end that suitable provisions
should be made for them; and whereas
our comrades of other States have already
taken action in the premises aud believing
that our State and particularly East Ten
nessee should be represented in said Ma
| tional Convention.
Therefore, Resolved, That in order to
promote the objects had in view, we re-
! specially suggest to our comrades in East
| Tennessee the propriety of holding Con-
| vention at the Court House in Knoxville,
| Tennessee, on the first day of the Eastern
| Division Fair for 1873, to select suitable
| delegates to attend said National Conven-
| ton at Washington City.
Resolved, That we earnestly and re-
| specially request our comrades in all the
other counties of East Tennessee to meet
! in Convention on the first Monday of Sep
TENDER next at their respective towns and
select delegates to the Knoxville Conven-
| ton.
| Col. r. NJ. Edwards, Rev. w. II. Rog-
ers and j. l.. Kirby were appointed dele
gates to the proposed Knoxville Conven-
| ton.
We see no reason why the survivors of
| the Mexican war in all the East Tennessee
counties should not be represented here.
| Let them all turn out and have grand re-
union here at the time proposed. They
can certainly afford to undergo little in
convenience in order TO meet together and
talk over the stirring period embraced in
the conflict with Mexico. Knoxville will
certainly feel honored with such an assem-
blage, and will receive them with open
arms and warm hearts. The columns of
the CHRONICLE are open for working up

FROM ROCKWOOD.
Religious Items - Health - MatrimOny
Greeubacks.

For several months past the minds of our
citizens have been agitated on the subject
of church building. Neither of the de-
nominations represented in the place are
sufficiently strong to build such house as
is desirable, and the question has been to
determine what sort of Il combination was
best. This matter has at length been de-
termined, so far as the Baptist and NJ. T..
Churches are concerned and arrangements
are being made for them to build and occu-
by conformity for Il term of ten years, at
the expiration of which time the Baptists
are to return the money paid in to the
AIethodists and become the sole owners.
The arrangement meets the public apprO-
baton, and it is TO be hoped that the work
will be speedily begun.
The Baptist Church has had steady in
crease for some time past. Nine have
been baptised in the three last Sundays.
A Sunday-school has been organized in
East lockwood lately, and is succeeding
finely. A church building is projected for
that part of the town.
The health of the place is improving.
There has been good deal of sickness dur
ing the past month, but no deaths except
two infants, one from Group and one from
q complication of diseases extending
through its brief existence.

there was another that would have been
but for the fact that a sharp young man,
taking advantage of the hardness of the
would-be bride groom, ran off with his girl
while he was gone for the license. AT last
accounts the runaways were still unhitch-
ed, and the losing party may yet find OPP
portunity to retaliate, if he judges the
game worth the pursuit.
The Roane Iron Company have been
paying off their employees partly in green

would be attended with the happiest re-
suits to all concerned, if we except some

CENTENNIAL ON THE BRAIN.-In Phil

tennial brand. A correspondent says:
"If you enter a clothing house you must
have come of course for centennial coat.
If you enter hatter's you can't go out I'M
til you have seen centennial hat. If
you go for pair of shoes you must have
them made over a patent centennial last.
If you want to smoke before retiring it
must be cigar of the centennial brand,
and if you rise in the morning with sour
stomach you are told that you need cen
tennial punch, which you drink over
centennial bar, by recent invented CEN
tennial tube. The bootblacks who throng
around you in the street, all vehemently
insist that the centennial backing will
produce the best shine, and that all other
blacking is of no account. The police
will adopt centennial uniform, stock
company are considering the propriety Of
putting up a centennial hotel, and that
great daily paper soon to be started here
whose stock of $3.50, 900 is said to be already
sold, can of course have no other name
than the Centennial.
