This firm keeps the right kind of

about the last pair, but to get another
pair just like them.
The principle holding good in retail
will also hold good in wholesale, and
country merchants will do well to call
on this firm as they have an immense
stock of goods, and are selling at rea-

tablished fact that all goods insured
by this firm always turn out to be just
what they were recommended to be,
and country merchants who have pur
chased from them need have no hest
fancy in recommending the goods to
their customers. Messrs. Lewis, jack

ENTERPRISE SPEAKS.

The Firm of Hawkins, Butt d Co.
We noticed a few days since that
Mr.. Coffman, of the firm of Hawkins,
Butt & Co., had just returned from the
East where he had purchased large
stock of goods in their liue. We did
not go into particulars, reserving this
for future occasion. That occasion
has arrived with the arrival of their
goods, and If any one will just take the
trouble to step into their establishment
will soon be convinced Of the fact that
he did purchase heavy stock. Their
store building is simply crowded al
most to its utmost capacity, and large
quantities of goods are still in their
basement, unopened. aud others at
the depot. Having determined to
make the wholesale trade a speciality,
they, of course, expect to keep a stock
of goods equal to the demand, hence
this heavy invoice. The store build
ing at present occupied is not sufficient
for their stock and trade, hence they
have determined to erect a building
adjoining that of Cullen & Newman,
suitable to their business, and the
ground for the foundation has been
broken and the brick work will COM
mence next week.
AS to their stock, we will not even
attempt to enumerate it, as it would he

space limited for this article; in fact, a

will state that they have an immense

lamps, gas fixtures, and everything
imaginable, and their stock has to be
seen to be appreciated. The gentlemen
composing the firm, Messrs. Hawkins,
Butt, White, COffman and Cruze, are
all practical business men, and four of
them practical workmen, each having
charge Of a department. They have
abundance of means and no lack of
enterprise, and are determined to lead
in their line. Country merchants will
do well to give them IA call, or send
them an order, as they will be sure to
receive prompt attention.

A NEW RAILROAD EETERPRRE
A Contemplated Improvement ofercs'
Importance.

We understand that the Pennsylva-
nla Steel COMPANY has recently pur-
chased the East Tennessee and Vest
ern North Carolina Railroad. This Is
the same that is sometimes known 81
the Mineral Home Read. The same
company has purchased that valuable
property in Carter county, the Gran
berry iron works. The road connects
with the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad at Johnson City, and
is already graded for several miles, the
exact distance we do not now
recollect. 1t is about twenty miles
from johnson City to the
| iron works above alluded to-. The
Cranberry iron Is famous all over the
country for its superior qualities, and
! in the hands of company with a
capital sufficient to develop and work
the mines, they must become the most
profitable in the whole country.
We understand that at the next term
of the Chancery Court at Jonesboro',
a charter will be applied for, enabling
the company to construct either narS
row gauge or broad gauge road, and
that work will be commenced as soon
as the charter Is obtained. IL this is
true 1t will open up an inexhaustable
quantity of the best iron ores in the
United States.
We have learned that there Is a fair
prospect now for an early resumption
of work on the North Carolina end OF
the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and
Charleston road. There Is about sew
enty miles between the present ter
minus of the road at Wolf Creek, Ten
nessee, and its terminus in North
Carolina, and n large portion OF this Is
: graded. This is an important line fol
East Tennessee, and we will rejoice
sincerely at its completion.

war IN HANCOCK COUNTY.
A Reud Between Two Families and
Resort to Arms
Two Men Seriously IpIured, One of
Them Probably Fatally, Etc.

Them Probably Fatally, Etc.
From gentleman lately in Hair
cock county we learn that regular
war is being carried on between two
families in that county which has al
ready resulted seriously, and promises
to prove more so in the future. AS
near as he could gather the facts, they
are about as follows:
Perhaps something over ayear ago
q man named Ray was killed in the
streets of Sneedville, and the relatives
of the murdered man charged that a
family of Mullenses' living somewhere
in the ridges in that neigh borhood,
had something to DO with the murder,
and deep hatred seems to exist be-
tween the two families. The Mulenses
are desperate set, and 1t is said that
they have sworn that the Rays and
Raneses, who are connected, shall not
live in that county. About two weeks
ago three of the Rays were passing
over the ridge, and seeing one of the
Mullenses women passing from house
to house, and enquiring, they learned
that she was mastering the forces, and
they were to be attacked, upon
learning which the Rays, who
by the by, are pretty hare
cases themselves, became the attack
ing party, and two of the Mullens-
Wallace and Sam.-were terribly beat
en- up. and one of them it Is thought
will die from his wounds. All thu
relatives on both sides have armed
themselves, and have declared war t
the last, and hence some twenty mer
are daily looking out for some one tC
murder.
On last Saturday, one week ago, sl1
of the Mullens attacked three of tn,
Rays and Raneses, and shots passed be
tween them all day. One party wa
in house and the other out in M
open field, they being about two hun
bred yards apart. The distance wa
two great for any damage to be done
On last Monday one week ago, gu
informant was at Mulberry Gap, wher
three of the Rays and Kaneses famil,
made their appearance, all armed t
the teeth, each having Spencer rifle
and brace of revolvers. They X
about openly thus armed for war an,
the officers of the law dare not max
an attempt to arrest them. They Cal
soon retreat to the ridges and absolut
betrayal on "a part of one of thei
number would be necessary TO effect
capture. 1t is a sad state of affairs, an,
1t seems to us that the good citizens @
the county should baud together t.
put stop to such ontlawry. Our in
formant has heard nothing from then
since he left, but thinks 1t quite likel.
that other serious difficulties have oc
Cured since, AS it don't seem reason
able that twenty men, so armed, look
ing for each other with murderous in
tent could have failed to meet eac
other in that time We trust that tn
neS VS. of the arrest of these outlaw
will soon reach us, and that peace an
quiet will again be restored to Han
cock county.

Captain Fritts to put this boat in thor

More Abour the Polar Wave.

The recent cold snap has, beyond a
doubt, played sad havoc with the fruit
crop, and has injured more or less the
growing wheat. Beside all this, it has
given to almost every one cold. The
injury done to the fruit and wheat can
not be remedied, but the colds and
coughs can be cured by proper use of
Symphyx, assisted by Hart's Blood

Somebody says that successful mer-
chants are those who have advertised
ia some way. Advertisement of ones
business is absolutely necessary TO sue
cess. Where advertising does no di-
rect benefit-if such a thing be posi-
ble-it confers indirect advantages by
building up the newspaper press,
which advertises and illustrates the
city and itsscitizens on the world. We
have never seen a good business man,
thorough in his business affairs, that
did not make advertising profitable.
We regard judicious and sharp adver-
Using as a means Of success. No man
who will give this subject due consld-
Grafton and practical trial can fail to be
convinced of its great influence upon

After conversing with farmers from
almost every part OF East Tennessee,
we are satisfied that orr wheat crop
was injured more by the late frOsts
than was at first supposed. Early
wheat, where it had commenced joint

of oil is retarded. The clover crop is
also badly injured.

don't think the wheat is hurt in
this county, though the principal
part of the peach crop is killed, and
half of the cherry and apple crop is

but few farmers are done planting corn,
owing to the cold weather.

amt worth doing, nor what they can't
