Union County Items.

MAYNARDVILLE, July Sth, 1873.
g EDITORS CHRONICLES: Quarterly Court
was in session yesterday, Justice j. j. Me-
New, presiding; all the Justices were pres
ent except Esqrs. Gentry and l.. Miller.
The Court levied tax of one mill on the
dollar and twenty-five cents additional on
every poll and twenty-five per cent on
all privileges in Union county, for school
purposes. This is sufficient, We think, to
carry on free schools five months in the
year.
4 vigorous effort was made by portion
of the Justices to tax the owners of CANNES
On motion of John +. Huddleston, Esq,
a motion to tax each owner of Il dog except
one, was lost.
Circuit Court was in session yesterday,
Judge NJ. l.. Hall, presiding, after court
adjourned for dinner, Gen. }. NJ. Meek,
by request, made speech on the impor-
lance of railroad from Knoxville to May
nardville, which he did in his usual elo-
quent style, to the satisfaction of
the citizens present. After Mr.. Meek,
finished his remarks, by request he took
the voice of the people, whether they were
for or against the building of said road.
The question being taken the answers
were all ayes except one, which caused
laughter.
The people would be pleased to have adj
vice through the columns of your paper, as
to the costs of building said road and also
as to the advantages to the people, &c. In
a word give us your best opinion on the
subject, as the people want to fully under
stand the matter before they act.
VIM. j. Nash, Esq, was elected Super
intendent of Common Schools at the April
term of the County Court. Applicants for
certificates to teach school must pay Sl.OO
whether they are successful in obtaining
certificates or not, and this money by or
der of the County Court is to be applied to
paying the Superintendent his allowance,
which is to be made by the County Court.
Cholera morbus seems to be epidem-
ic here.
The County Court refused to take any
action under the new road law. They
hold fast to the old system.
Yours, &C., UNION.

Beer VS., whisky.

The Germans in Chattanooga, as else
where, have wholly escaped the clutches
of indigenous cholera. They ascribe the
fact to the use of lager, instead of whisky
and brandy, and not a few say they owe
safety to onions. There's question for
tanooga when cholera was at its worst, and
saws he saw more drunken men than he
ever before encountered in such place.
These were the whisky-heads who became
the ready prey of the destroyer, Memphis

lowed as usual by the Sheriff. He was immedi-

Court, Chambers, where for some time he held
a levee. Many old friends came in to
see the fallen chieftain, and sorrowful were the
greetings that passed between. The now con-
demned man. however, said little, and made no
comment upon the ordeal through whicn
he rad passed. But he was even more
