has proven success pecuniarily. But
while this is true, it is equally true that
the exhibition has fallen short of that two
years ago, under the management OF Col. |
Jno. III. Craigmilcs, aud that of last year,
which failure should stimulate the citizens
of Bradley county to unite next year in
making the fair what ii could and should
be, one Of ii not the best In East Tennes-
see. The grounds are more eligibly stu
ated and the race track Is bett - an any
other in this end of the State, Knoxville
not excepted, and with all these things in
their favor, | repeat, it is only TO the
apathy of some that Bradley does not
rank the highest. .. n.' I.a.H
tr -'.. THE DGspLAy
of articles in the ladies' department was
good, and also in vegetables, but in farm
products there was a deficit which should
not have existed. Mark Twain once said
in an agricultural article that 1.-THE pump
kin as shade tree was failure" but
though that may he correct, yet for ''pizen
things they are fine, and the farmer who
raised the only one shown can rest assured
that famine will not affect his family-as
long as it lasts, it being fully twice as large
as any on exhibition at the Eastern Divis-
ion Fair. ..... ......... ....
Our Chattanooga friend Geo. H. Ruble,
takes the lead in excellence as well as the
cultural implement on the ground and the
largest variety of poultry and beats and
potatoes, grown on Lookout mountain. .
Three schools attended the fair in a
body on Thursday, sixty pupils with Prof.
Cate and Miss Yearwood, instructress in
music, representing Chatata Academy,
and also two schools from Cleveland. The
pupils were admitted free Of gate fees,
which act of liberality on the part of Pres
ident Maytield and the Directors was
highly appreciated.
a SERIOUS ACCIDENT
occurred on the race course Just before the
second race was run, Mr.. =. II. Lowe,
town marshal, being knocked down and
stunned 10y one of the horses He was
| thrown with such violence to the ground
| as to cause the blood to gush from his ears
and nostrils. No bones were broken, how
even, and in a few moments he recovered
| sufficiently to be taken home in buggy.
The officers of the fair, Messrs. Mayfield
| White, Reynolds, Davis, Cate and others,
were untiring in their efforts to come up to
| the expectation of the people, and, as be-
| fore stated, succeeded most admirably.
CLEVELAND,
as every one knows who has been here, is
one of the prettiest villages i'll the State,
| and can boast of some of the clever
est citizens. Its hotel accommodations
are equal to any town of its size, the De-
Lano House, kept by Capt. s. II. Dear
mond, being mere like home than q pub
| lie house, while the clever proprietor gives
the same satisfaction as 'mine host" that
he did while serving the public in his for
mer capacity of railroad conductor. The
| Ocoee House, situated in the business part
of the town, kept by Mr.. Lewis, is well
patronized, while the Monday House, OPP
posite the DeLano, does not appear to lack
custom. 0.... ...
ST. Luke's Church, built by Col. ]. H.

thing else is finished, and the church will
be dedicated on the anniversary of lis
daughters death, the Sth of next October

| here us ever, two weddings having occurred
within the past forty>eight hours. On

! .r MATTERS IN GENERAL,
AS matter of course, 1 dropped in to SET
the newspaper men, and found my old
friend, McNelley, the eccentric genius Of
the Banner, running the machine rs lively
as he did twenty years ago. The editorial
corps of the Republican, were absent. but
the courtesies of the establishment were
gracefully extended by Mr. Hays, who
conducts the mechanical department.
