Buckingham. Senators Hamln, Sherman, Stevenson,
Fentou, and Washburn were appointed a committee
to attend his funeral.
HOu~e-TheC Civil Rights bill WAS taken up at half
past 10, and uninteresting ten-minute speeches were
made until nearly l O'Clock, when Butler. of Massa-
chusetts, rose to close the debate. The scene pre-
scented in the House has rarely been surpassed.
Every gallery, including the diplomatic, the ladies,
were around the door, endeavorng to obtain ad1nis-
sion. A motion to admit ladies to the floor was OBJ
jected to. After Butler had spoken at some length
10 the question the House proceeded to vote on the
bill and amendments and it was passed by a vote Of
1872 to 100. The bill now goes to the Senate as an
original House bill without any relation whatever to
the Senate bill already passed. After the transac-
ton of some uninimportant miscellaneous business.
the House adjourned at $40.

fully submit whether a precedent so dangerous to

in this matter. to relieve the Executive from acting

THE EASTERN DIVISION FAIR.
The Prospects SIM Brightening-t
will Undoubtedly he the Greatest
Ever Known In Knoxville.

will Undoubtedly he the Greatest
Ever Known In Knoxville,
That the citizens of Knoxville have
been thoroughly awakened to their in
terests in regard to the Eastern Divis-
ion Fair, 1t is hardly necessary for us
to say. The long lists Of special pre-
miums that appear from day to day in
the city papers show that there Is
hardly a business house in Knoxville,
which by its actions does not say to the
Changers and farmers generally as
well as to every class of mechanics,
God speed you in your undertaking,
and may the Fair oe grand success.
There is hardly class of industry
for which special premium has not
been offered, and to make sure that
nothing Is forgotten, Mr.. Perez Dick
inson, with his usual lberality put
$50 to be divided out in one dollar
premiums for articles that may be
overlooked. The ladies OF Knoxville,
we learn, are also doing their part, and
working nobly to prepare articles for
the Fair, aud will see that the floral
department is not forgotten. In fact
everybody seems to he aroused on the
subject, and if the Eastern Division
Fair of 1875 is not the grandest sue
cess ever attained IN the way of fairs in
this country, then there i nothing in
the signs of the times. We hope
that the news will be carried abroad.
Let the good farmers Of the country
know what Knoxville Is doing i'm aid
of the enterprise, the welcome they
will receive 10y our Knoxville people,
and let the people in the cOuutry-in
East Tennessee, from one end To the
other-feel that this j. not n Knoxville
| Fair, but an Eastern Division Fair,
and that all East Tennessee is'inter-
ested in its success. We hope that the
| papers through East Tennessee will
/ give the euterprisea favorable notice.
/ If they have the interest Of the farm
ers ard Changers at heart, as many
claim they have, let them now show
it by their works-by giving the enter
prise all the assistance they can by a
! liberal notice. Let those of the farm
ers who read the papers spread the
news among those who do not. Let
the Fair be talked from house to house
from farm to farm, until the whole
country takes an interest, and the re-
suit will be an exposition of which
East Tennessee may well be proud,
and the establishing Of Eastern Di-
vision Fair on a firm basis. From
what we can learn from the country,
there is more interest in the enter
prise than there has ever been in any
previous year, and we trust that it will
continue to grow until there be none
left who feel careless and uucOncerned
about the success of the Fair this
year.

TO the. Editors Of the Chronicle:
Your correspondent had the good
pleasure of attending Union Sabbath
School picnic at Bethlehem Church,
about nine miles north of Knoxville,
on the 25th inst. Three Sabbath
schools participated in the exercises.
The choir from Clapp's Chapel fur
nished the music. The services We're
opened by singing and prayer. Rev.
NJ. Canless introduced j. f, j. Lewis,
of Knoxville, who delivered TO us q
short but pithy address. Then an adj
dress by Rev. Mr. Garden. Brother
Gardens address was more than eX-
cellent.
The notices of the two banners We're
as follows: Hopewell-"Allfo for Jesus. ~
Bethlehem" Remember thy Creator
in the days of thy youth. These mot
toes we consider very good. At inter
walls during the exercises the choir
sang some beautiful pieces from
" Every Sabbath" and Winnowed
Hymns" Good order prevailed du
ring the day, except by a few ill-bred
fellows.
Floyd Clapp's wife died on the 22d
inst, of fever. Mr.. Clapp and his on
ly child are both very low with the
same disease. Their recovery is very
doubtful.
The Presbyterian church at Wash
ington is nearing completion, and we
have no hesitancy in saying that when
completed IL will be one of the hand
soonest church edifices in East Ten
nessee, outside of Knoxville. 1t is
being built by David Star d Son.
Uncle Solomon Clapp mas, in all
probability, the oldest horse in East
Tennessee. He is 20 years old. Uncle
talks of taking Logan (the horse 20
the approaching Fair at Knoxville.
We say by all means take him. What
say you, Bro. Charlton; must he bring
Logan?
Mr.. Z. NJ. Graves, of the 9TH district
has the largest gourd and gourd-vine
in Knox county. The gourd will hold
measured bushel, and the vine meas
ures 800 yards. Now, if any man is
disposed To dispute this statement, let
him come and measure for himself.
We think that Logan and the gourd
should go TO the Fair, and also 10 the
Centennial, if necessary,

The Era of cheap Goods,,

There never was time in the history
of Knoxville when all kinds of goods
were sold cheaper than at present. 1t
has been well said, Competition is
the life of trade"
Mr.. j. J. Young seems to have
realized the fact in his purchases and
prices for the Fall and Winter of 1875.
His stock is already large in white
Wool and Cotton Flannels also,
Opera and Red Flannels, Shawls all
sizes and qualities, and Hosiery for
ladies, misses and children.
Merinos, Cashmers, Alapaccas a
specially Never Were cheaper. All
kinds of Dress Goods. Also prints in
endless variety. Jeans, Cashmers,
Linseys and Plaids, Bed Tickings,
Bleached and Unbleached Domestics,
and all kinds of notions and small
novices, and he has arrangements to
keep his stock supplied weekly with
the newest and best styles, rs they are
introduced by manufacturers and their
agents. He positively asserts that on
most of the goods he has recently pur-
chased he is asking only a bare conf
mission on New York prices.
All goods that he has carried over
during the summer he is selling at
greatly less than original cost The
citizens of Knoxville and surrounding
country are especially invited to an
inspection Of his stock and prices be-
fore they buy elsewhere. None will
go away without receiving the
full equiUOtent of their outlay of money,
and when honestly and .faithJuLy COM
pared with the LOUeSt prices in Knox
vile no man, woman or child will re-
greet a purchase made at the large yell

We have on exhibition at our office
something really wonderful in the way
of tomatoes. There are 80 OF them all
matted together in one bunch, and
they have grown so heavy that the

We find in the Athens Pos, the fol-
lowing extract from the pen OF DR..
Jno. +. German, correspondent OF the
Talbotton GA. Standard:
The most beautiful and fertile farm
this side Of Kentucky, is probably that
of Henry Matlock, of McMinn county,
containing over 700 acres of land made
rich by nature and the grasses. Mr..
Matlock is progressive, practical far
mer, possessing ample means, by
which he is enabled to plant on a profit
able scale. His crop of corn this year
will average, we should think, 80 20
GO bushels per acre; and though in
jured by worms, made 900 bushels OF
wheat. Has fifty beautiful Berkshire
hogs to kill, and large herd of grade
short horn cattle 10 feed. His flock Cf
COtswold sheep are magn! -icent, and
his pure bred Durham COWS, yielding
to gallons daily of rich milk, are
perfect pictures of beauty. There are
few such men as Henry MatlOck in
any country; hospitable AT home and
princely good fellow I'm social life.
In company with him, we made cal!
on the editor of the Athens Post, the
best conducted weekly paper in the
State of Tennessee. Ii is a model of
neatness, rejecting the enterprising
spirit Of its renowned editor in every
column, who is an excellent paragraph
