Seriously III.

Mr.. N. II. Fellows, well known and
highly esteemed citizen of this town, is
now probably on his death bed from the
inroads of the insidious foe, consumption.
Augustus Rice, an octogenarian citi-
zen of this county, esteemed wherever
he is known, has been seriously i'll for
several days, with but little hopes of his
surviving the attack
The many friends of the venerable and
well known Rev. William Harrison, of
this place, viii regret to learn that he is
now seriously i'll. He was confined to
his bed some time since by asthma, and
the attack was so severe his friends fear
he cannot rally under it.
With the exception of these cases we
know of no sickness in this vicinity. Our
community and county have never en-
joYed healthier summer and fall.
We are glad to learn Maj. J. NJ. Dick
inson, of the Virginia House, had assur-
ances by telegram from the attending
physician, that a change for the better
had occurred in the condition of his son,
John A p Dickinson, on the Sth, and

WHITE LABORERS WANTED IN


Houston, TEXAS, Oct. 1.-THE plant
ers of Texas are tired of negro labor,
which, as a general thing, is totally I'M
reliable. They have been trying to- get
along with it ever since the war; and
at last, having despaired of success, they
are about making a combined effort to
bring into the State class of white la
Dor which is both skilled and can be re-
lied on.
Aided by the iberality of the Inter
national and Great Northern Railroad,
the people along the line of the fivehun-
dred miles of its road have undertaken
an enterprise which will no doubt re-
suit in bringing them thousands of good
laborers and tenants by time to COM
mence putting in crops in January. The
different counties along the line have
each appointed delegate to go ont into
the Southern States and make contracts
with people to come here, supplying
them with advance money when neces-
sary. These delegates leave together on
an excursion train which starts on the
18th of November, and will go as far as
Atlanta, Ga. Remaining there two
weeks it viii give the delegates time to
scatter out through the States of Mis-
sissippi, Tennessee, Alabama, North
Carolina and South Carolina, and find
people who are willing to come.
Through the exertions of the I. s. g.
N. r. r. the fare for these incoming peo-
pie has been reduced to II cents per
mile, so that it win cost the emigrant
from - only about - dollars to get
into the heart Of the richest cotton grow
ing section of Texas, besides having
liberal advance of money, and good and
well specified terms from the land own
er here. About fifty delegates will go,
and they will visit all the principal places
in the States mentioned. To those wish
ing to come to a new, growing and
bOnntifully producing country, there can
be no better opportunity than this. So
watch out for the Texas delegates.

Buncombe road that the change has been
ordered, as it will 'inure greatly to their
convenience. r-F--v

Cash for Hogs

From all we have been able to gather
from producers and others we are salts
fed there are fewer hogs in this section
of country than at this time last year
Still there will be some to go to market,
and it is to the owners of such that we
desire to call attention to the advertise
ment of Messrs. Hodge & Brakebill, of
the PackerY, Knoxville, in to-day,s pa
per. They wish to buy all the hogs in
the country and will give the highest
market price. They are reliable gentle
men, and they evidently mean business.
We are glad that a good market for hogs
has been opened, and we doubt not, bat
what our farmers will do well to consult
them before.offering to sell elsewhere
They are enterprising gentlemen, whose
references are unquestionable as to
means, and will push any business with
which they are connected We predict
the Knoxville Pork House will do
lively business this season.

Personal.

Our handsome young bachelor friend,
Charlie d. Merritt, of the Steam Mill,
left on the Eastern passenger train last
Sunday, under very suspicious surround
iugs. The impression is that he goes to
select his fall and winter stock of dry
goods Whether his object is calico or
not, he left hsping-" Ye banks and

whole-souled, genial gentlemen, and the
best of-had stump speaker belonging to

with the New York Daily GrGzltc, was

bound for the GrapIttc office. He halted
long enough to tell us he had secured

The Pound Party.

| 1t is very pleasant, in these days of
hurry and fuss, to turn aside from the
perplexing cares of life, and step in for
moment, among the gay and the fair,
where all is as Ioveable and lovely as a
marriage bell. Such was the occasion,
last Friday night, at the residence of Col.
| g. Eames. 1t was another of those
''pound" parties. Pound after pound
arrived, until many happy heart filed
the parlor to repletiOn and the table was
loaded with many pound of something
delicious and sweet. There were four or
five more gentlemen than ladies-just
enough to hold the " balance of power
and make things lively when a vacancy
occurred near some smiling beauty.
Among the edibles were cakes, candies
of every kind and variety, almonds,
cream-nuts, chesnuts, popcorn, ETC., etc.
Among other good things were noted a
nice package of SUPERIOR rice, handsome
read, charming tadyyOr, an erudite
5,sg7Iettzer, a ringing BELIZE; and around
these was the thick, heavy-set st1t66Le with
field attached, all not without a cr0soder.
The most of the above articles were very
dear, for by each was set heavy price
and each had some @oeg{r)it(t.) There was
an extensive march upon the premises,
and, strange to say, none of the afore-
said articles were saoGngf1Gd, save the cakes,
candies, ETC., etc. and only one young
man was observed to gOrnaGndize special

had recently opened a new shop in this
