EASTERN DIVISION FAIR.
OPENING DAY AND FAIR DISPLAY,
Three Assistant Secretaries Kept Busy
Making Entries.
Some Fine Stock on the GrOnnd and
More to Arrive,

Division Fair opened with fair pros
poets for grand success. From early
faOfn the road to the grounds was
crowded with vehicles carrying out
articles for display, and as stated in the
headlines, three Secretaries were kept
busy making entries, and work re-
manned sufficient to keep three more
engaged.
THE GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS,
AS stated in our article in yesterday
mornings issue, are in a splendid con-
dition, and present an attractive aps
pearance.
Secretary Munson, and assistants,
were promptly on the ground, giving
assistance whenever desired.
Col. H. B. Yearwoood, of Monroe
county, Chief Marshal, was also on the
ground bright and early, and by his

at home.

Mr.. Eldridge occupied the same
shed he did last year, and has fine
| display, phetons, barOuches, buggies,
hacks and spring wagons, and proposes

/ Clarence bed. His work reflects cred
it on East Tennessee manufacture.
THE STOCK DEPARTMENT.
1t seems there has been more atten~
! ton paid to this department than here
! tofore, and it is thought the display

| the ground, but failed to obtain the
names of the owners III most instances.

THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT

machines, su!ky plows, hay rakes
cornsheIIers, cutting boxes, whea
drills, cider mills, wagons of differer
makers, etc. Washing machines anC
patent churns were also on III,

THE SECOND FLOOR
Presented a lively appearance, and s
number of persons were busy all day
arranging articles Of display.
LEWIS, JACKSON d RHEA
Displayed a case of fine ladies' anC
children's shoes, CATERS, slippers, etc.
of the finest workmanship. Also, 6
number of hats. They had intended
display of boots, of their own manu-
facture, but were unable to keep up
with their orders and prepare any.
thing for the fair. They have a large
force of the best of wOrkmen constant
Iy engaged, but their work is of such
| superior make they are constantly be-
hind with their orders, yet the display
| they made at the fair will do credit to
their establishment, and will give
those who noticed the case an idea OF
the kind of goods they keep.
| F. HoCKENJOs,
Manufacturer aud wholesale dealer in
| cigars, tobacco and smok eTs' articles,
displayed a case of cigars of his manu-
! facture, which will do credit to East
Tennessee, and will hold their own
! with cigars manufactured anywhere,
the only difference being that he can
afford 20 sell his work for much less
than the same kind of cigars can be
purchased in any other city. Mr..
HockeDjOs is doing a thriving business
and he deserves to be encouraged.
Sanford, Chamberlain & Albers dis
