Knowing that you always stand

confident that you will accept these
few words in regard to our school.
We, the people, who have so long been
dormant as to the intellectual progress
of our youths, have at length seen the
importance of cultivating those latent
powers which elevate men above other
animals, and which make men live
even after they return to their mother
dust.
Our situation is at Cedar Grove, three
miles north of Maynardville, Tennes-
see. For beauty and suitableness ii
can not be surpassed by any locality.
The building is reared on elevated
land, surrounded by tall cedars and
giant oaks, making beautiful shade
over the entire hill. There is very
good water a short distance from the
building, which ,adds much to the
place The school will open on the
LIST Monday in August, 1875, and will
continue ten months, with a short va

The Knox County institute.

The Knox county Teachers Insti-
tute opens at Thorn Grove on August
Sd and continues four days. Half fare
has been secured on the railroads. The
Knoxville and Ohio road will sell full
fare tickets one way and return free
on the certificate of the Secretary of
the Institute. The East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Road will sell
tickets both ways from Lenoir's, Con-
cord, Knoxville and McMillan's to all
teachers and educators, who may at
tend the Institute. Those attending
will leave the cars at Strawberry
Plains where private conveyance will
be in waiting to transfer them to Thorn
Grove. To be present at the opening
of the Institute, parties must go up on
Monday the 2nd proX.
In addition 10 the able speakers al
ready announced, Prof II. Nicholson,
of East Tennessee University, has con.
sented to address the Institute. His
subject will be "The Relation of Pub

This address will be of particular in

as teachers. 1t is expected that much
valuable instruction will be impaired
at the Institute, and we hope every
teacher H. the county will attend.

During two or three days of the last

wheat still outstanding. The damage
is serious, both to it and the oats crop
The blackberry crop is plentiful, and
is especially priced this year of general
dearth of fruit.

is projected to start in a few days to
visit it.

To be Hung Publicly.

Meeting Sheriff Swan yesterday, we
asked him in regard to Webb's hang
ing, and as to whether he would act in
accordance with the request of the
ministers and hang him privately.
He answered that we might inform all
that they could make it as private as
they pleased, by staying away, but he
had determined to hang him publicly.
He said that he did not believe that
the crowd could be kept back, and II
he would attempt to hang him within
an enclosure, the crowd would break
down the fence. He could not inform
us of the ground selected for the exc
cution, as, he stated he feared that the
citizens in that neighborhood would
again interfere as they had done once
or twice before, and persuade the own
er of the ground to withdraw his per-
mission.
Webb, We understand from the
Sheriff, has about made up his mind
that the hour of his death is surely
fixed. and since Thursday looks defect
ed. He was visited by his father, who
urged him to make q clean breast, to
which he replied that he had no con-
fession to make. 1t was a sad meeting
between father and son, almost too
much for the old man to bear.

to be increasing. More efficient means

fective. Our mountain, or rural dis.

consequently cropping in moral dark
ness, and the Lords side is not fairly

A note from jacksonville, dated
yesterday morning, informs us that
the county Jail at that place was broken
open on Sunday and that Young
Rogers, Henry Crowden and Jack
Hunt, the wife murderer, made their
escape. No particulars are given. 1t
is to be hoped that the prisoners, espe-
cially the wife murderer, may be ar
rested, in order that the justice they
deserve may be melted out to them.
Rogers and Crowden were in Jail the
second time for violating the Internal
Revenue laws. They were arrested
some time ago by Deputy Marshal
Capt j. G. Duff, not, however, until
they had discharged several pistol shots
at him. The probability is that they
are again manufacturing "mountain
dew" in spite Of Uncle Sans regula-
tons on the subject.

Negro hoy Killed.

YESTERDAY morning, about 10 o'clock
considera, lie excitement was raised in
the vicinity of the Nashville and Chat
tanooga freight depot, by little negro
boy, by the name of James Bosley,
being run over by a coal car on the
Nashville and Chattanooga track. 1t
seems that the boy lived about a quar-
ter of mile down the railroad He
attempted to jump on the coal car and
ride home, being at the depot, when
he fell between two coal cars. He first
had his right arm cut, it being caught
in frog. He was then dragged about
two steps, when his leg was severed
and he thrown in such position that
his head came directly under the
wheel of the car. His head was crush
ed all to pieces and severed from the
body. Coroner Allison was summon
ed, and the verdict of the jury was to
the above effect. The railroad author

the evidence adduced being perfectly

He was ia the habit of keeping late

seated around the room, enjoying

TO the Editors Of the Chronicle:
An employee of Mr.. Spellacy, was
shot and dangerously wounded this
morning, at Spellacy's camp, on the
Cincinnati Southern. His name is
John Haley. The ball took effect in
the bowels, and also touching the
stomach and liver. DIR. f. \. Seinch-
meet, who dressed the wound, states,
thathe can not recover. The perpetra-
tor of the crime, is a lawless negro,
who has been lounging around the
camps. The sheriff, accompanied by
posse, is out looking for him, but up
to this writing, with no reported re-
suit. The shooting was unprovoked l
understand, beyond the fact, that there
was probably whisky on both sides.
The authorities of the county are de-
termiped to suppress this lawlessness
along this line, or at least make de-
termlned effort in that direction.
The rains still pour down, greatly
impeding work on the Road" and
almost destroying the wheat and oat
crop. The wagon roads are fully as
bad as at any time last winter and
spring. All this is very damaging to
the contractors. But have time for

This is an admitted fact 1t is obvious
that when the blood becomes corrupt the
whole system is corrupt also, and those or
gans which are weaker from functional de-
rangement will suffer most. The large
majority of female diseases proceed from
this cause. The true policy is to direct the
remedy to the source of the disease. 1t is
in this way that DIR, TUFTS Sarsaparilla

is on the blood. 1t purifes, vitalizes it,
expelling all distemper from the system.
