THE HOG MARKET.
Lively win Fa,r Prices.

From the Daily Chronicle Nov. al
The hog market in East Tennessee
is beginning TO he quite lively. There
is "A demand for all the surplus cars be.
longing to the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia road for that purpose
Hogs are awaiting shipment at Lime
slone, Morristovn, Greeneville, Straw
berry Plains, New Market, McMil-
lan's, London, Sweetwater, Athens,
Riceville and Charleston. The bulk
of the shipments thus far have been
for the southern market, though u
few lots have gone East. Up to tins
only about fifty car loads have been
supplied, but the shipments have not
fairly commenced.
Two ear loads were shipped from
Strawberry Plains Monday night, and
eight more were shipped from stations
above on the same train. Two car
loads more will he sent from Straw
berry Plains next week. -Four car
loads will be shipped from Knoxville
to-day.
The trade in Knoxville has also been
quite lively, parties buying for pack
ing here. Among the leading buyers
are Hu. l.. McClung IL Co, J. A.
Brakebill & Co, and FAM d Jones.
Messrs. McCluDg 81 Co. have on hand
a good lot of hogs, and have purchased
many others yet to he delivered, and
are still buying ali they can get.
j. A. Brakehill IL Co. received yes
terday one hundred and thirteen head
of hogs to be slaughtered ut the Knox
vile pork house. Thirty head pur-
chased Of Mr.. James Sharpe, of Sewer
county, averaged 1886 pounds. they
were of the Chester white variety and
were very fine. A lot of Berkshires
fattened by MIR. J NJ. French, of this
county, south of the river, averaged
300 pounds. This firm of J. A. Brake
bill 81 Co. have purchased about zoo
head, and are still purchasing all the
good hogs they can get.
Messrs. FAM IL Jones have about
$50 head of hogs on hand and have
already slaughtered about $50. They
have bought about six hundred
and will probably buy others
If the weather proves favorable
during the present week the Pork
House will do heavy business. Mai
w. Z. Elliott is experimenting the
packing establishment, which Is g
guarantee that everything will go on
systematically aud expeditiously.
We understand that Mr.. Dossett, o.
Anderson county. will arrive in town
to-day with 800 head of fine hogs
The ruling price for good hogs deliv
cred here is &c gross. Some lots have
sold higher. The tendency now il
rather downward.
The supply of hogs in East Tennes
see is not large, but il said by thos,
who ought to know, to he larger thar
last year. The movement of hog
ought TO, and will no doubt, give III
more money, and will revive business
temporarily.

The s'Gray Horse of 1910.

TO the Editors Of the Chronicle
Let me relieve your readers with =
bit Of novelty. Looking over the an
nusl report of our East Tennessee rose
for the past year, / have been curloss
enough to calculate the cost OF travel
ing aoW compared with 1910. Then,
most of the travel was on horseback,
except, with those who could afford the
more expensive jolting and rolling
MISUNDERSTANDING process of &C.
ing in stage coaches, carry-alls, buggies
and carriages were limited luxuYies
then.
note that for the year ending JHAs
the 30th, 1875, the local travel (thRt tx
by real live East Tennesseeans) over
the road between Bristol and ChRtts-
nooga- Dalton paid the road SIT, $50.
At least, this Is for the items Local
Travel" Conductors Collections"
and Mileage Tickets.s At 81 cenhs
per mile, this would be equal to one
man travelling 4,797, 179 miles and r.
he took what we call daylight runs
at 240 miles per day, he would occupy
IL, 1888 days, and paying the road 81
each day or the aggregate of SITS, 8Ss.
Such traveller, In our modern days
of eating houses, ought to have
about three meals at seventy.6ve cent?
each. This expense for the numbeT
of days stated, would amount 10
S44 ,973; total expense, G22A, 1857. That
Is, such amount is estimated as the to
tai cost of East Tennessee's railroad
travelling. But, old Ben. Franklin
said, "time lie money" and a good
man or woman ought to have one dol
lar per day, at least, as wages. This
will add $40, 9SS, making the grand to
tai 1914, 1855.
Now let us step back to good old
"l840." Then, to travel the same
number OF miles at so miles per day,
would occupy l59, sos days A horse,
with feed and equipments, at low ar
innate, would be 81 90 per day, or
1928, 1857 for the 4, 797, l73 miles journey;
and such traveller would need thres
Old-fashioned 1.-TWO shillings" meals
per day, which adds 1853, 905; making
a total of 1899, 1852. And, surely, the
"goOd man or woman" I've those days,
ought to receive 80 cents per day AS
reasonable wages; which would add

this su6stract $244 S55-the railroad

A sad Accident.


SEvIERvILLE, Tenn, Nov. 2G, 1876.
To the Editors of the Chronicle:
On Monday last, Mr.. A. NJ. Cham
bers aud son went out hunting at
night, and after wandering through
the woods they got somewhat be-
wildered. Their dogs made signs at
the foot Of a large poplar tree as though
there was something In It, They con-
cluded to fell the tree which they did,
AID in failing, 1t fell among other tim
Der and against large dead tree,
bending it somewhat, but falling to
break the top of 1t down. The dead
tree sprang back and came with such
power that it broke the top out; threw
the broken top back and struck Mr..
Chambers upon the top of his head,
crushed him to the ground, killing
him instantly. His head was crushed
to pieces, both legs broken above the
knees, and in fact, 1t is thought there
was scarcely sound bone in him.
His son was standing by his side at
the time the tree struck him. The
lltG bluSutu dlSOs w ubu saw
his father was killed he undertook to
pull him from under the log hut fail
ed. He then started for help, being
some two miles from home, and also
lost, thought he would take down the
hollow he was then in, which took
him directly from home. After going
about one mile he came to q neighbours
house some distance from home. He
then rallied the neighbors. They
took torches aud went in search of
the remains and found him about IL
O'Clock in the night, and cut the log
off of him and brought him home.
His wife died about Is months since.
He leaves son about IS years Of age
and little daughter about two years
old.
Miss Caroline Mullendare. a young
lady, the daughter Of John Mullendare,
died of fever the same night.

To the Editors Of the Chronsele:
Chancery Court was held here iasr
week by Chancellor II. c. smith.
The heavy rain which fell about EliE-
sbethton on Monday morning, the 18th
instant, prevented the Chancellor from
reaching Blountville until some time
In the afternoon, and hence not muoL
was done on that day, but all was bust
ness the balance Of the week. COurt
closed only few minutes before mid
night Saturday, having run throusis
considerable work.
On Monday, the 29d, Circuit Couss
met Judge f. f.. Glllea,
waters presiding. Most o.
the week has been taken up in the triAs
of L. G.. Miles. charged with the muir
der of Harry Provence, last summer.
In Bristol. Miles had "A large array o.
counsel, consisting of w. ID. McCloe-
key, Esq, ID. f. Bailey, ESQ, w. v.
Deaderick, Esq, and the Hon. r. T.
Butler. Attorney General Hacker was
assisted by w. V. Vance and John T..
Bursou, Esq's. The case was ably aud
thoroughly argued, the argument of the
case taking up one day aud a half. The
killing was not denied, but the defen-
dant put in the plea of selt-defenss,
and on this he was acquitted, and bare
IN acquitted. 1t is understood that the
jury was, for time, divided, but final
~ came together, upon the conclusion
that Miles must either hang, or be az
quilted, and rendered a verdict a.
above stated.
Judge Gillenwaters gave the man,
Miles, n wholesome and well-timeR
| lecture before Diminishing him.
Not long after he was set at liberty
he was arrested for having shot of e
gun or pistol at John Hawley in Brts-
toll some months since. And being
unable to give bond, was released upon
| his own recogni2ance.
| Great establishment Is expected by
the people at the verdict of the jury IL
this case. 1t was expected that he
would either hang, or go to the States
prison for a long time.
Only one convict for the peuite9-
tiary-that Of young James Cox, wins
is sentenced for one year-being Goa
victed of attempting to ab9se female
under the age Of ten years. Cox ts D
young man Of good raising. He has
respectable parents, who ara much
grieved that their son has come to SUCH
bad end.
The law provides for q two weeke'
term of the Circuit Court here, but On
ly one week will be held here now, q,
the lawyers must attend other courts
next week, and can not be here.

happened along, and Drs. Saltmarsh
snd Boyington were called and dressed
the wound. At last accounts he wal
doing very well. 1t was very fortunate
It turned out no worse than 1t really
is, and should serve as another re
minder that either boys or men when
out hunting can not be too careful In
the use of their firearms.
