FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
BEADyALE, April 6 1874.

IEADVALEj April Q. 10TH
DEAR GAZETTE: On last Saturday
evening. just after the train passed
by this place, we had a great fire.
There was a very large hay shed
standing in about two hundred yards
of the depot, and thirty yards from
the railroad, packed full of baled
hay, which caught on fire. 1t is sup
posed to have caught from the train.
1t is thought the engine threw a live
coal on the shed, and it burned
through and dropped upon the hay.
1t consumed about 275 bales of hay
Loss about $500, mostly on II. G.
Helm, in fact all except 80 bales be-
longing to Mr.. Greenlee.

ENLARGING.-O friends McCra-
nv & Harrison have commenced the
erection of a spacious frame ware
room adjoining their present store.
This is a healthy indication of the
demands of the times, and as the
building is to be a creditable one in
size and appearance, we hope it will
be but one of many that will go up
this season.

LEADvALE, April 6, 1874.
DEAR GAZETTE We had consid-
cradle excitement here on Saturday
evening, caused by the burning OF q
large hay shed, filed with baled hay,
near the depot.
The shed and some thirty-five bales
OF hay were the property Of Maj. r.
Fl. Armstrong, of Knoxville. The
remainder of the hay (some 300 .baies)
was the property of Capt. II. C.Helm.
dealer in hay and grain at this place.
Maj. Armstrong; loss is about $3.50.
Capt. Helms loss is between $3.50
and 5000. The loss will fall quite
heavily on the latter gentleman, he
having had several misfOrtunes since
commencing business. But his mot
to is " nil desperandum."
The fire was no doubt caused by
a coal from the engine when the train
passed. as the engine was ont of or
der and was scattering the fire around
profusely.
Leadvale / think does her share OF
the business along the g., G. e.
and c.. Railroad, and / suppose
there is more freight shipped from
this depot than any other on the line.
Capt. Helm had just finished I'M
loading fat boat load of hay, max.
ing the seventh boat load of hay and
grain he has transferred from the
river to the railroad at this place
since the first of February.
We oncs had a Farmers Club here
but / fear the Club is lost and the
members are lying around loose. Bat
never mind, we will be all right soon,
as / understand Brother Charlton
is coming up to organize US Grange
Do they take such men as me!
We have two churches-one Meth
odist and one Baptist. The pulpits
of each are filed by able men-each
having services semi-monthly.
We have the usual amount OF
stores, &c. Did have a saloon, but
the proprietor, fearing q raid from
the crusaders, vamoused.
Yours, AICDoOLY.

ANOTHER DIVIDEND The Direc
tory of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad Company, we
neglected to state in our last, have
declared a semi-annual dividend of
three per cent, payable now. That
the earnings of the road, notwith-
standing the enormous loss and leak
age of the dead-head bung, justified
this distribution. is most gratifying
news to the stockholders. Cut off
the dead-head list, and managed
with the same ability, the dividends
would startle them even more salts
factorily.

To the Editor Of the 1Gorristown Gazstts:
While our neighbor city, White
Pine, can boast of her large ship
ment of eggs and butter, we of Lead
vale can boast a little too. During
the last two months, February and
March, we have shipped from our
depot over 100000 lbs. of grain and
other produce. And at this writing
there is in depot about $500 sacks
of corn and some eight or ten ear
loads Of hay ready to ship as soon
as the prices will justify. Showing
to the numerous readers OF the GA
zETTE that there is something raised
in this rich valley besides butter and
eggs. Yours truly,
