Farmers state Convention.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: VIII you be kind
enough to say to your readers that it is highly
important to have East Tennessee represented
in the State Convention of farmers at Nashville,
on the 10th of September l fear the cholera
panic in our midst, will interfere with the
movement somewhat, as also in the west. The
only mode l can think of to appoint delegates
is, where there are farmers clubs for these to APP
point them; and where there are none, for the
County Courts to do it. II you know of bet
ter plan, you will confer favor by submitting
it TO the public.
If you remember the recent Convention.
clothed me with authority to appoint delegates
its chief officer, but L am not inclined TO eN-
ercise it, 1t is properly the prerogative of the
farmers themselves, and they should exercise it.
Your suggestion, sometime since, that the
politicians should be kept out Of the Convention
was good one. As the movement is not po-
Litical one, they have no business in it.
The railroads, | presume, will grant half fare
tickets, and have assurances that the hotels at
Nashville will reduce their terms. This will
materially curtail the expenses of the delegates.
l should like for East Tennessee to be out in
full force as it naugurated the matter at the re.
cent convention held in this city
If you think cholera will interfere with it,
see no reason why you might not state that fact
the public. There should be no failure, if pos
sible, as that might injure the cause in the fu-
turc. An educational and agricultural reform
combined will work out the redemption of our
State. Let them go hand in hand by all means.
Respectfully, &c,
Prest. f. Tenn. Farmers Convention.

a Suggestion.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Please allow me
to suggest through your paper that histo-
ry of our city, from its earliest days to the
present, would be an interesting book, and
much sought after by many persons resid-
ing both in and out of Knoxville. 1t is
very fortunate that we have a gentleman
yet living who is competent to get up the
facts and incidents for such work. ] al.
lude to our highly esteemed ow-citizen,
George NJ. White, Esq. With what he
himself remembers about Knoxville, and
what can be furnished him by other indi-
viduals, a very readible history could
be published. In the work of preparing
the history, old les of newspapers would
be found helpful. The middle-aged men
and women of our growing city,
and the younger folks, too, are
anxious to know how the town
looked half a century ago. aud would be
interested in going along with the histo-
rian, as he pictures the sayings and doings
of those fathers and mothers" who
have long since passed over the river, but
where influence is still felt in the commu-
nifty. "Recollections of Knoxville by the
oldest inhabitant," would be book find
ing ready sale. Will Mr.. White undertake
the task of preparing the work? l hope
so, and there are doubtless hundreds of the
same mind. The sooner The work is COM
menced the more reliable and interesting,
can it be made. KNOXVILLE.

Obituary Notice.

Died July 3lst, in the fourteenth year of
her age, MATILDA MILLS, daughter of
Frank and Eliza McClung.
Seldom are we called to announce an
event more painful, or that will bring sor-
row to more sympathising friends than
the one this notice records. A young girl
in the full flush of youthful health and
beauty, with more than usual prospect of
a long life, the joy of parents, brothers and
sisters, the life of a happy circle of COM
panions, is stricken with malignant ty-
phoid fever, and passes beyond the reach
of remedial agencies almost before the low
ing home circle can realize that she is Sc
riously i'll. Before they are at all prepared
for the shock, the spirit has fed, and they
are left to mourn for form and face, and
voice and football, that are to make them
glad no more on earth. Happy is it for
the mourning ones that they look beyond
the blights of this earth to that blest home
where Christ's redeemed are with him.
The sympathy of this whole community
will follow the sorrowing family in this
deep afliiction.

Sunday Buggy Riding.

On Sunday morning last young man
of this city, went to one of the livery sta
bles and by much persuasion obtained the
only horse there and buggy in which to
take his mother few miles in the coun-
try, promising to take the best pos
sible care of the steed. But instead of
taking his mother, this young man picked
up couple of his dissolute companions
and after putting the horse through his
PAGES on the street for some time, the trio
started at a rafting pace for a cosy retreat
about eight miles from town, having sup
piled themselves literally with liquors
before starting.
But knowledge of the deception prac-
ticed having reached the proprietor of the
livery stable, he procured saddle horse
and followed on the trail of the afore-
said young men, though he failed to
overtake them until after they had
reached their destination, when, leaving
his horse with the farmer, he got in the
buggy from which the horse had not yet
been taken, and drove back to town, leav-
ing the young bloods to set back as best
they could. If other stable-keepers would
follow suit there would be less whisky
drinking and Sabbath breaking done.

Accident nt the Rolling nni-

Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock,
while several OF the rolling mill hands
were engaged in cutting down the en-
bankment between the new building and
the Knoxville and Charleston Railroad,
having worked rather under the embank-
ment, it gave way, and crushed one OF
them, David Mack, a colored man, to the
ground. After eXtricating him from the
mass OF earth, he was taken TO his home,
and DR.. Tadlock being sent for, he at once
received medical attention, On examin-
ing, it was found that the principal inju-
ries sustained consisted in dislocation of
the left hip and wrist joints. He was a
very stout man, and at the time of the ac-
cident was in STOPPING position, thus re-
ceiving the entire embankment on his
back, and it is the general opinion, that it
would have killed any man not possessed
of an extraordinary backbone, and wonder
is expressed that the man escaped with
the above named injuries and some bruises.
be was doing well at last accounts,

A,roRmER KNoxvILL1AN LUCK
a Machinis, FInds Himself Rich.

From the Atlanta Herald, we learn that
Mr.. Joseph p. Police, a machinist, former
~ of this city and a son-in-law of Mr.. Geo.
Allison, has fallen heir to the snug sum of
$50, 900 through the death of rich uncle.
For some time past, Mr.. Police has been at
work in the State road shops at Atlanta.
Recently an old uncle of his residing at
Charleston, South Carolina, sent for him.
Arriving there he found him on a dying
bed. The dying uncle at once told
the nephew that he had left his entire es-
tate, amounting to the sum above stated,
to him as his sole heir. AT the same time
he drew from under his pillow 81, 700 in
cash, besides gold watches and other val
uables. After the old gentleman died, Mr..
Police examined into his effects and found
himself the fortunate possessor of railroad
and bank stocks, gold, real estate and a
fine mansion in the city of Charleston.
Looking through an old trunk he discover
ed 5000, which it seems the old gentleman
had over looked. This lucky man was
once employed in the railroad shops here.

Fine Work.

Yesterday we examined a four-horse
omnibus, built in this city by Mr.. S. G.
Turner, which in point of finish will COM
pare favorably with the same class of
Eastern work., while in durability it is
thought to be superior. The bus was
built for Messrs. Daley & Thompson, and
when completed will be model of
strength and beauty. The iron work was
done by that skilled blacksmith, David
Newman, and the painting by Mr.. ]. II.
Havely, whose artistic taste is manifested
throughout. The prevailing color is green,
relieved by lines of lighter colors. On the
outside, one on each side, are ocean scenes
portrayed more naturally than is general
ly seen in this style of workmanship, the
interior is painted white, while each panel
is painted with landscape and bouquet
of variegated flowers, alternately.
The vehicle will be finished this week,
the upholstering and vanishing alone re-
naming to be done, and will be a credit
to Knoxville mechanics. With the num-
Der of vehicles of this kind in use, it is
strange they have not been manufacture
here before.
