GETTING PAPER UNDER DIFFIcUL.
Es.--Friend Bigelow, OF the Knox

some time since, that he intended TO

determined. u appears, to do 20 IL ''it

having been left Mt Dalllonega on nc

from Knoxville with team, and after
proceeding short distance he found
that 1t made such poor time that he

through the deep mud, GO miles, To
this place, and at last accounts was
trying To negotiate with the stage

AS 1t was morning and he preferred
travelling by daytime, he proposed to
payhis fare, aud start ahead on foot,
but the stage company being well
aware OF tile advantage OF having q
passenger along to carry q rail- and
help the team through mndholes, re-
fused 10 make such q bargain, and
declared they would not carry his pa.

NAMED for the night trip. If the
people of Knoxville don't sustain him
well hereafter, they ought to do with
out paper. They will not often find
such perseverance even among print

by the addition Of hundred names. -

Thank you, brother Needham. We
have already received some benefit
from our town, since your H9rdid

of the vigilance and midnight oil y
necessary to keep the type "a-click.
