CLEVELAND, TENN,


November %, 1876.
10 the Editors Of the Chronicle!
Your reporter arrived in this thriv-
ing little city (for city it is claimed to
be by the people) this evening, and
found many of the citizens grieving
over the sudden death OF truly good
man, Mr.. Harry Jory, the principal
clerk at the Ducktown Copper Mines.
In fact, he was counted Capt. Rahps
fright bower" and the man upon
whom the Captain had placed the re-
sponsibllity of looking TO his entire
business. He was faithful, energetic,
honest, and an excellent manager,
and his place will not be easily filled
at the mines, in more ways than one.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
will feel the loss of Mr.. Jory, as much
"a Captain Raht, for he was a faithful
worker in the cause of his Heavenly
Master. He was the leading Sabbath
School man of this section Of country,
and If our recollection is correct, at
the last Sabbath School Convention
held at Morristown he was appointed
member of the Executive Committee
He worked in this branch Of the Lords
vineyard with unceasing energy, and
accomplished great good. In fact he
was one of natures noblemen, and
will be sadly missed in the commune
| ty which had been blessed with his
presence. His last illness was but short.
A few weeks since he was stricken with
apoplexy but had somewhat recovered,
and his friends as well as himself had
entertained hopes that he would soon
be himself again, but unfortunately he
overrated his strength, and attempted
to look after his business too soon,
which resulted in fresh attack and
almost instant death yesterday morn
ing. Capt. Raht and Mr.. Jory's broth.
er went over to Ducktown this morn
ing to make arrangements for the
| funeral.
Arriving late in the afternoon, and
q heavy shower of rain arriving sooT
after we did, we have not been able t
stir around to get up much news, II in
deed their is much to be found at pres
ent, but we will try our hand to-mor'
row.
We noticed four car loads Of fin,
hogs passing this point for the South
They had been shipped up the country
somewhere. We would rather hear o
them being slaughtered in Knoxvill,
and then being shipped South after
ward, but then as we can't have on
way about it, we will be satisfied If al
the farmers who sold them will Jus
send in their names for the WEEKLY
CHRONICLE, which will post them q
to the price of hogs, or anything els
they may have to sell.
Nothing of importance transpired oil
our trip from Knoxville here, with tn
exception that we were OCCASIONAL,
forcibly reminded of home, AM
made to think that the baby
had stumbled and fell, or had caugh
its fingers in the door, or had picked q
something hot, or was crying iron
shere contrarinsss, but when we look
ed around 1t always turned out to b
somebody else's baby (there were sew
eral on the train, and the visions O
home passed away. Babies are grea

We hope they may never neet with
similar accident again.
