How To Eat a Cantalenp.

An exchange has this, which comes
in play at the present time in our To-
calty: Our readers will probably eX,
CLAIM, "Only give us the melon, and
you need not instruct us how to eat it."
Yes, but there is n good, better, best
way of doing things, and we propose
telling you the hest way of Of doing it.
AS Mrs. Glass says in her cookery
book, first catch your hare so, the day
before eating the melon, select one, the
stem of which is cracking away from
the fruit, and which is giving out that
delicious aroma peculiar to it. Put it
in the refrigerator until the next day
at breakfast or dinner, cut 1t in two,
lengthwise, take out all the seeds, into
each half put tablespoonful of
strained honey, and scoop IL out with
spoon, dipping each spoonful into
the honey, and eat. If after eating
qudntli,n Subi cit, you do not wish your
throat was mile long, and every inch
of it a palate, then we can only say
that you are wanting in gustatory
taste, and our advice is wasted. While
we are giving advice, let us add that
all fruit is the better of being very cold
when eaten, as it brings out the deli
cate flavor and aroma, and makes 1t
much more refreshing. We do not
know of any fruit which is an excep'
ton to the rule.

To tie Editors of the Chronicle
Hot, hotter, hottest" and dry,
dryer, dryest," is the cry now on all
sides, and everybody is wishing it
"would rain" Our farmers are busily
engaged in breaking up ground for
wheat seeding, and l predict that a
much larger breadth of land, in this
section, will be sown with wheat this
fall than was last season.
The Lodge of Good Templars of this
place had a public demonstration at
the Methodist Church Oh Wednesday
night last. Appropriate addresses
were delivered by Rev. Mr.. Pope, of
the Baptist Church, and Rev. James
Atkins, jr., of the Jonesboro' Metho-
dist Church. The Temperance people
of Morristown are eXerting themselves
to overthrow the influence of five
grogshops, and it is to be hoped that
they will succeed.
a protracted evening prayer meet
ing is in progress at the Methodist
Church, and much interest therein is
being manifested.
Our schools-Reagan High School,
and the Masonic Female Academy
are both in full blast, with fair at
tendance of pupils. Morristown has
just cause to be proud of her schools.
Notwithstanding it is so hot, dull
and dry, people will marry. On We'd
nesday morning last, Mr.. Drury Nor
ris, a prominent citizen of our town,
led to the altar Miss Eva Carmichael,
of this place, and on yesterday even
ing VIM. G. Taylor, Esq, of this place,
reached home from Big Creek, Cooke
county, bringing with him a bride,
having been united in the holy bonds
of wedlock to Miss Eva Burnett,
daughter of James Burnett, Esq, of
Big Creek. who'll be the next hap
Ply man?"
Cabb Crosby, an old respected citi-
zen of this community, died at his res
idence, five miles north of this place,

FROM TATE SPRING.
A Pleasant Party-Others to Come
Revival, &c.
TATE SPRING, Aug. 4, 1875.

TATE SPRING, Aug. (, 1875.
To the Editors Of the Chronicle.
Your correspondent found himself
in hack" Friday afternoon, on his
way to Tate Spring with n pleasant
company, consisting Of a gentleman
from Mississippi, Capt. Stiles, Chief
Marshal of Savannah, Ga, and a
lady-the latter being bound for Min
eral Hill.
About halfway between Morristown
and the Spring we met a colored man
riding rapidly, and, stopping the hack
he inquired of the driver IL Charley
Wicks Ia former cook at Tate's) bad
taken the train. Being informed that
he had, he remarked that "there was
an end of his twenty-dollar bill ~ He
said that he had missed $40, another
servant $40, and that they believed that
Charley had absconded with the same.
He had no positive proof, or he would
have telegraphed to Greeneville to have
him arrested.
We arrived at the Spring about six
o'clock, and found "mine host" +. o..
Tate with "A pleasant smile and good
upper'awaiting, which, after the ride
from Morrlstown, we frlt we could
even then do justice to.
There are between thirty and forty
guests at misplace at present. Many
having left, owing to the late cool
weather, but since it has turned so
warm, again some are returning.
Among the guests, we found w. j.
Hicks, Esq, and lady, and Miss Matte
Crawford, of Knoxville, and this eve-
ming Mr.. w. b. Francisco, formerly OF
| Knoxville, but now of Philadelphia,
arrived. Judge Thos. J. Judge, of the
| Supreme Bench of Alabama, was a
guest at this place for sometime, but
| left this morning to visit some of the
other Springs. He is expected To- re.
turn, however, before many days
There were four or five arrivals 10y the
stage this evening, and number more
have sent word that they would be
here next week. II the weather con
tinues as warm as it has been in The
last few days, doubt not but what
this favorite summer resort will again
be thronged with guests.
! 1t is needless to say any thing about
what the location and the quality o
the water at Tate Spring, as articl,
after article has been written OH tina
subject, aud the readers of the CHRoN
ICLE are perfectly couversant with The
facts, and | will only add here that tn,
present guests all speak in the highes
terms of the good they are deriving
from the use of the water, and seen
perfectly well satisfied with the &C
commodations, at least l hear no com
plant in that line.
A Baptist revival has been in pro
gress for several days within sight O
the Spring at the Masonic building
and quite number have professe,
saving faith in Christ, and we under
stand they are to be baptised to nor

Depth of Mines.

In the present state of mining, 1000
feet is a greater depth than is possible
to niue coal. The deepest mines in
England, which scarcely exceed 1000
feet possess temperature of IS de-
grees. At 5000 feet the heat of the
mines would be over 100 degrees, and
at 1000 feet it would be 100 degrees.
Rapidly waving currents of air may
reduce these temperatures several de-
grees, and compressed air may still
further cool the workings; but newer
discoveries in ventilation must be
made before 1000 feet can be reached.

IMPORTANT To THE PUBLIC!
New Departure {! A!

Believing it best for all concerned,
and especially for our customers, WE
WILL, ON AND AFTER THE FIRST DAY
OF SEPTEMBER, adopt the pay dorm
cash system. There are at least two
good reasons for this: LIST, We have
not capital sufficient to do credit
business. %, We can do business with
much less expense by selling ercLuSiUe-
W for cash. Thereby saving the eX-
peuse of n BOOK-KEEPER and one
SALESMAN. We hope this will prove
not only satisfactory to our customers,
but to their REAL and SUBSTANTIAL IN
TEREsT, as we can and will mark down
our goods in plain figures so that every
person shall have them at the same
price and at least from Is to 90 per
cent. less than they can be purchased
on thirty day." or as the case, in too
many instances, is SiG or tlUeipe
months. we have on hand, and more
on the way, a splendid stock of boots,
shoes, hats, trunks umbrellas, railroad
bags, &c. &c. Our manufacturing de-
partment is complete with good mate
rial to make you the best boots and
shoes at as low figures as any one in
the trade. And now we say to our
friends, come and pay lOhat yOu Que.
If you can't pay all, pay part of it.

TRAGEDY IN BL0UNT COUNTY.
A Neglected wife Commits suicide
near MaryviiIe.
MARYv1LLE, Sept. 8, 1875.

MARYvILLE, Sept 3, 1879.
To the Editors Of the Chronicle
One Of those sad tragedies that strike
a community with awe, was enacted
yesterday, three miles from Maryville,
on the Tuckaleechee road.
John MUIR and his wife, 1t appears,
had their family troubles; and report
says he gave more attention to other
women than to her, which gave rise to
disputes between them. So yesterday
morning little quarrel arose, and 1t is
said he struck her a blow, after which
he started off to meeting. A little girl,
a sister of his who was living with
them, was washing the dishes when
Mrs. MUIR made some remark about
putting an end to her life and stepped
out of the house. She went into an
outbuilding near the house and got II
rope came back into another part
from where the little girl was, and get
ting up on the bed fastened one end
of the rope around her neck,
and moving two planks in the loft,
passed the other end around the iOist
two or three times, fastening it secure
~, aud swung herself Off into eternity.
When ,uud life was gone.
a runner was started after MUIR
and overlook him on the road to meet
ing; and when told that his wife had
hung herself coldly replied that " She
always was "A ioOl.n
They were comparatively IA young
couple having been married only about
two years. Mrs. MUIR being about
twenty-three years Of age, she had
given birth to but one child, which
died in its infancy, and it is limited
that there was some appearances after
death, of strangulation, from which IL
would naturally be inferred that foul
means had been used to put it away
How this is of course is not known.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Human Being Hurled Into Eternity
without n Moments warning.

without n Moments warning.
Monday morning as the eastern
bound passenger traiu was leaving
Chattanooga 1t ran over aud killed II
colOred woman-Ann Wiley-on the
Citico bridge, a short distance out of
Chattanooga, on the East Tennessee
Virginia aud Georgia Railroad, leaving
the body in II frightfully mangled
condition.
We give some Of the details as we
received them from Mr.. Ward, the
railroad telegraph operator: As the
train was coming on the bridge, the
fireman discovered the woman on
the far end, aud says she had plenty of
time to have gotten over, but she Stun
bled and fell, aud just rs she was
rising the engine struck her in the
face, mangling her body in Il fearful
manner. Conductor Ross Smith stop
ped The train at once, aud sent II man
back TO report the accident to Mr..
Ragsdale, the agent at Chattanooga,
and have him come aud take charge OF
the remains, and have them properly
cared for.
No blame eau be attached to any OF
the employees of he road, but it was
purely the result of carelessness on the
part of the woman; and is another
evidence that IL is 10y far the safest
place to keep off of the railroad track
as much rs possible.

We learned last evening of pain
full accident that occurred to Mike
Crowley, railway postal clerk on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad, at Jonesboro', on last Friday
evening. AS he was stepping on the
train his foot slipped, and he was
caught between the cars and the plat
form of the depot and considerably
bruised up, though DR.. Sewer, the
attending physician, pronounced the
injuries not necessarily fatal. No bones
were broken, we understand. At last
accounts he was doing as well as could
be expected, and it is thought will be
able able to be at his post again in a
short time.
