New store House ON Market Place.

We have been shown the plans for the
new store house to be erected on Market
Place and Union street by Mr.. NJ. D..
Swan, on the site of his former building.
The design is byA. &. Bruce, the well known
architect, and when completed the build
ing will be an ornamentto that part of the
city in which it will be erected.
The building will be eighty feet deep,
and have a frontage of twenty-siX feet and
two stories high with an octagon corner
running the entire hight, making a very
attractive as well as novel feature in the
design. The front will be supported by
two round iron columns and finished with
handsome galvanized iron cornice, with
double twin windows in the centre, with
a segment on the right and reft, orna-
mented with galvanized iron caps. The
upper cornice will be of galvanized iron,
with pediment in the centre and segment
finish on the octagon.
The side elevation, according to the
plans, will be very neat and tastefully fin
ished, and, like the front, will be of Elem
niken's best pressed brick.
The ceiling of the first floor will be four.
teen feet high and that of the second
twelve feet, making with the basement
three stories. The first floor will be used
as a store room and the second divided in.
to four elegant rooms for offices, approach
ed by wide stairway at the rear end o
the building from Union street.
This will harmonic with the building
recently erected by Mr.. Swan and show:
excellent taste on his part.

The First Postal cards in KnoNyiIIe.

The first postal cards sent out from
Knoxville were delivered to the city Post.
Office for the cross mails, and some for the
city, yesterday afternoon, by the CHRoNI-
Gle. Through the kindness of Hon. j. NJ.
Thornburgh, five hundred were received
yesterday by the noon mail. In less than
an hour afterwards some of the cards were
sent to the office, with the card of the
CHRONICLE JOB OFFICE neatly printed on
the back. Our merchants will find speci-
men cards thus printed in their Postoflice
boxes. Merchants along the line of the
East Tenn, Va. and Ga. Railroad will be
supplied with the same cards by this day Is
mail. Thesepenny postal cards will prove
very popular, and be used largely instead
of circular letters.
The requisition of the Knoxville office
has been in Washington for some weeks,
and will certainly be filled within very
short time. The CHRONICLE JOB OFFICE
is ready on few hours notice, to print
on the back of the postal cards any blank
form of bills, receipts, business cards, OF
matter of any kind desired by merchants,
manufacturers or bankers.

Country Notes.

We learn from G. w. Byrd that the raw
ages of the cut worm. in the 10Th civil dis
trict of this county are very severe and in
many instances if not replanted the corn
will be an almost total failure.
There is a pretty good stand of wheat,
though generally thin, 1t is best on tight"
lands.
A fatal disease, has made its appearance
among the catt and hogs on Mr.. Byrd's
farm, similar to rnose suffering with affec-
tons of the kidneys. The animals become
weak in the loins and require assistance to
get up when once down. He has lost a

HOW IT HELPS KNOXVILLE ABROAD
what DIR. Haven writes of Fast Tennessee
and Knoxville.

DR.. +. O. Haven, who was present with
the Locating Committee for the Methodist
University, writes to the Christian AdUo-
cate, at New York, about Knoxville,
Athens, New Market and Cleveland, as
follows
We were gratifed beyond expression
with much of what we saw in Knoxville
and several other places in the vicinity.
ness enterprise, the looking out for the
main chance, the evident appreciation of
the scriptural cNhOrtatiOn, " Forgetting
the things which are behind, press for.
ward are certainly worthy Of note.
Athens, little village, the site of our
college, offered forty acres of land and SIP
600 in cash if the University could be locat.
ed there. New Market, one Of the least
among the thousands of our Israel, a gem
uine Bethlehem, where the people are all
members of some church, and Intoxicating
drinks are neither sold nor used, the seat
of Holston College of former days, now
closed, offered about $50 600. Cleveland
also made a similar offer.
Knoxville, however is the place Sound
judgment compelled the committee to Sc
lect it. 1t is the natural metropolis of this
country. Beautiful for situation beyond
description broken into high hills, easy
of ascent, and broad valleys on the shore
of the Holston river; commanding in the
distant horizon, on two sides, view OF
high mountains-the highest east of the
mississippi; where several railroads meet
the market place for large section OF
country; the seat of a rapidly-growing
iron manufacture, and destined to become
in population and wealth one of the large
cities of the South, Knoxville is evidently
the place for this University.
The Board of Trade entertained the com
mittee during their stay in the city, inyit-
ed us to participate in one of their m eet'
ings and present our cause, and also to adj
dress the citizens, and finally rendered to
the University large and beautiful site, to
be within mile and half of the city
and fifty thousand dollars in money. The
offer was accepted. The site is to be Sc
lected by joint committee, and will be
from twenty to forty acres, probably OF
one Of the elevations about the city.
There are many people in Knoxville
both from the North and South, attracted
there by the climate, which is neither
severely hot nor cold, and is said to be
wholly free from fever and ague.

We learn from Mr.. P. NJ. Williams, who
has just returned from trip to Greene

for good wheat crop are very pad. He
says that here and there good field could
be seen, but that the majority of the fields
ticular pains to inform himself on the sub
ject, and from every quarter the reports
come very unfavorable. Mr.. Zimmerman,
his partner, says that he has conversed
with number of men from different coun-
ties, and from all the information that he
can gather. East Tennessee will not pro-
duce much over one-half the amount of
price of wheat in the least, as the reports
from the west indicate tina: an eXtraordi-
nary heavy crop will be produced there
this year, more than making up the def
cheney in this State.

New Platform,

Workmen are engaged in building a new
platform around the freight depot of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad, an improvement that has long
been needed, as the old platform was be-
coming rotten and dangerous. They have
commenced at the east eud of the build
ing, with the intention of completing one
end or side at time, in order to incOnven-
fence shippers as little as possible. We
presume the ewes and guttering will also
be replaced as soon as the platforms are
completed, as they are in bad condition,
and unless repaired, the new platforms
will have but little protection from the
