A letter received by one of our produce
merchants from milling establishment in
Rome, Ca, says that there will be only q
half crop of wheat harvested in North
Georgia
Another letter from milling establish
ment in Atlanta, Ca, received by the same
parties, states, in answer to a proposition
to engage wheat for them, that their agents
in Middle Tennessee write them that they
can engage new white and prime amber at
SIPS with cents difference in the freight
in their favor, and were of the opinion
that East Tennessee wheat would be quoted
too high.
From different parts of the country we
learn that the wheat crop will turn out by
far better than has been expected. AL
though thin and scattering on the ground
yet the wheat is of very fine quality.
Some heads OF fine wheat from the farm
of Geo. Weaver, on Beaver Creek, has
been placed on our table. If there is much
such wheat on Beaver Creek, we will have
good surplus this summer. Our infOr-
nation is, that the wheat is filling out
much better than was expected, and we
predict more than half of last years crop
in East Tennessee.
If the sample of wheat handed to us by
Gen. j. NJ. Meek of New Market, is a
specimen of what they will raise in Jeffer-
son this summer, that county will have
need for more mills like DIR. j Nat. Lyles.
He has eight acres of most excellent
wheat. The heads are well filled and the
grains plump. He will cut it to-day. lie
sowed it on clover land. He ought to tell
his neighbOr farmers, through the CHRON-
ICE, what he knows about farming.
We had placed upon our table yesterday,
fine specimens of smooth and bearded
wheat from the farm of VIM. Galbraith,
Esq, of jefferson county. The heads are
large and well filled, and if this is a fair
specimen of the wheat crop it will be
much better than has been supposed,
Mr.. Joseph b. Wright, of this county,
has also lett with us fine specimen of
wheat nearly ripe. While we do not sup
pose the crops will be large the indica-
lions are that the quality of wheat will he

Sudden DAN of Mr.. A. NJ. Plpr.

The many friends of Mr.. Piper, will with
sadness, receive the news of his death. He
died at Greeneville, Tenn, on the 18th in
slant, after a brief illness of only a few
hours. His death is thought to be the re
suit of overheating and rapidly cooling off,
bringing on a fatal attack of cholera NOR
bus.
He was for many years citizen of
Knoxville; was partner in the merchant
business with S. b. Boyd; was member
of the City Council from 1854 to 1858, the
last year serving as Mayor of the city.
Mr.. Piper was a good citizen, quiet and
unassuming, was not only respected but
esteemed by his friends. For some time
past he has been connected with the rev.
enue office of the lst District.

FROM ROCEXWOOD.
Fatal Accident--Prompt Assistance--A
Funeral.

Yesterday about noon, Charles Bowman,
an employee of the Roane Iron Company,
was struck by piece of rock thrown of
by blast 60 yards away, which crushed
bis skull. The unfortunate man lived un-
til night, his brains oozing out gradually
until he expired. He was q consistent
member of the Baptist Church, and an
efficient worker in the Sunday school
where he lived before coming here. He
leaves a wife and three small children.
1t being ascertained that the family
were in needy circumstances, party of
gentlemen at once went to the store to pro-
cure such supplies as were Immediately
wanted, On arriving at the store they
found that Maj. Rees, the efficient Super
intendent, had ordered every thing fur
nished free of charge that the family
needed. These gentlemen were not to be
prevented in their good deed, however,
and each gathering an armful of provisions,
started back for the house where their gifts
were gratefully received. 1t is said that
5000 has been raised for the widow and or
hans. Considering the fact that Mr.. Bow
man had been here but short time, and
unknown to many, who have so signally
befriended his family, it speaks well for
the benevolence of lockwood
At o'clock to-day the body was con-
Veyed to the house of worship, where an
immense congregation assembled, and
listened in solemn silence to an appropri.
ate discourse by DR.. Breaker The process
sion then passed out and proceeded to the
country, where the last sad offices were
performed amid the tears of a sympathiz-
ing congregation. NJ.

BaccaIaurcate Sermon.

Rev. r. w. Humes, d. D., President of
the East Tennessee University, preached
the baccalaureate sermon before the grad
uating class of that institution in the
presence of a crowded house at the Second
Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening.
from the following text: "Flee youthful
lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith,
charity and peace with these that call on
the Lord out of pure heart He dwelt
earnestly and eloquently on the dangers to
which the young men of the country are
exposed. His discourse was one of his
happiest efforts and reflects much credit
upon his head as well as his heart. 1t
abounded in wholesome precepts, which if
practiced by the large number of young
men present, will tell upon their future
lives, and insure their future success.
The large audience listened with mark
ed attention to what was said, and al
though the evening was intensely warm,
not the least uneasiness was manifested.
If the address of the learned speaker and
educator were published and placed in the
hands of young men of our land, it
could not fail to do good. If the young
men of the graduating class, for whose ben
eft the discourse was specially delivered,
will only be governed by its precepts their
future life will be full of honor to them
selves and useful to their country

a Majority in Favor of water Works.

The election Thursday, on the question
of water works. passed off quietly, there
being little or no excitement over the mat
ter. The qualified voters who desired to
vote went up quietly to the polls, deposited
their votes For" or Against, as they
felt inclined, and departed in the same
manner. There was a very light vote cast,
and it would seem that many of the prop
erty owners of the city felt perfectly fndif-
ferent on the subject and were willing to
abide by decision of their neighbors.
The following is the vote of the different

NO CHOLERA IN KNOXVILLE.

word OF warning 20 Chronicle Readers.
Up to this Tuesday morning there has
not been a single case of cholera in Knox
vile. There has not been single death
from any bowel complaint. We under
stand that reports are out that recent sud-
den deaths here were from cholera. We as
sure our readers such is not the case. We
will give them the cbdct truth should chol-
era come here. The death of Gen. Cham
pion was from lung trouble and he had
nothing like cholera. Dr. Moses died from
heart trouble, He had no disease border
ing even on cholera. Gen. Joel T.. Dewey,
who dropped down dead this Tuesday
morning in the court house, died from op-
optcry. There was no sickness like chol-
era in his case. There have been fewer
deaths than usual in our city. There are,
perhaps, a few cases of cholera morbus,
but not q dcdH from such cause has yet
occurred. Not even dangerous case has
come to knowledge,
We say to our readers, that they shall
know it if cholera comes here. We shall
give the exact truth.
