speaks loudly Of the editors efficiency
as well as Of the popularity of his paper.
The Knoxville papers announce the
return to that city, from somewhat
protracted business trip to the west, OF
Mr.. Sam Mckinney And this reminds
us that the responsible duties of Assist
ant Cashier OF the Peoples Bank, form

tatives, than whom it would be hard to
find more accommodating and efficient
gentleman for the place.
"a = The Chronicle, we see, accuses Com
modore Homer of sinking boat load of
sand at that point. We are personally
acquainted with the Commodore, and
know he understands the river too well
to be guilty Of such an oversight Be-
sides, we have it from good authority
that It was the sand that sunk the craft.

failed to quiet the walking cane in the
hands of the other party, and the conse-
quence was, the colored wind pedler re-
ceived severe drubbing In the rum
puss, the social evil escaped attention.
