Knoxvine and Charleston Railroad

The purchasers of this road, Messrs.
Thos. O'COnner, DIR. VIM. Morrow and
w. ii. Cherry, are making arrange
ments to complete this road. The
whole length of this route is $50 miles.
From Knoxville to Maryville, seven
teen miles, the road has been running
for some time; also, from Charleston TO
Walhaila, :. c., two hundred and for
ty miles. The road is yet to be COM
pleted from Maryvllle to Walhalla, one
hundred and twenty-three miles
1t is proposed to make this narrow
gauge road. That portion of the road
already built from Knoxville to Mary
Vile will be changed to narrow gauge
by placing the present rails at the prop.
er distance apart.
From Walhalla to Charleston an
additional rail will be placed on the
present track so that it will be both
wide and narrow guage. That part of
the road from Maryville to Walhalla
will be constructed on the narrow
guage plan. 1t is estimated that it
will not cost over $4,000 per mile to
construct and equip, on the narrow
guage plan, the portion of the road
still to be built.
Knoxville will furnish $250,000 of
the necessary funds, and probably
more.
1t is contemplated that the Georgia
Railroad will be extended from Allan
Ia to Clayton, n. c., where 1t will in
tersect the Knoxville and Charleston
Railroad. This will give Knoxville q
competing line TO Augusta and Savau-
nah.-ChattanOoga Times.

dressed. We understand that marble

The Hawkins county editor of the

ing on hard times: Last Sabbath,
while sitting in Church, we noticed
the elegance and richness of the wear
ing apparel of many in the large con-
sgregation, and wondered how people
so well clothed could complain of hard
times. The truth is, there is no need
d of the complaint of the scarcity of
money. If people will learn economy
and have courage to dress more cheap

ish. Fashion, slavish fashion, Is keep
ing many people poor and more, 1t is
driving many of the poor from the

Business in south Carolina.

Robert Price, young trader of this
county, writes to a Knoxville friend
from South Carolina, where he has
been for several weeks with stock, and
also collecting for sales made last year,
that the market down there is crowd
ed with both mules and horses, and
but few sales are now being made at
any price. He, however, met with
fair luck, and got Off the most of his In
the early part of the season. The cot
ton crop in that section was very short
and the majority will not have more
than enough to pay them out Of debt,
while many will fall behind, co1se-
quently the people have but little
money to buy with. Corn is selling
at $l.25 per bushel, so traders cGn not
tarry long, as it would take only a
short time at present prices for horse
to eat his head off. Upon the whole,
there is a very gloomy prospect for
traders In the old Palmetto State this
season.

EDUCATION
Our public school system is gaining
Pound and making friends every day

sas changed greatly within the last
par, and the great demand is, good

PORK PACKING.



From the Daily Chronicle Of Dec II
Some fears were expressed at the
opening NJ the season that the hog
crop would be light this year, but the
fact has been developed that the crop
is much larger than it was last year.
Up to the present, over two thousand
hogs have been slaughtered at the
Knoxville Pork House, and the BUSH
ness has only commenced. Over six
hundred Were killed in the last three
days, and large number will be
slaughtered next Tuesday. Messre. j.
s. Brakebill & Co. received yesterday
a car load from MIR. j. NJ Scott, Of
Blount county, which averaged "A
weight of $3.50 pounds. We notice that
the prices of hogs have been on the de-
cline for several days, and now the top
price is Ga6l cents for hogs of $50 lbs.
and upwards, and 53a6 cents FOR hogs
below that weight. 1t is estimated
that fully one third Of the hog crop
has not been brought to market vet,
and doubtless many farmers, rs usual,
will keep their hogs until the price
declines still more. II is TO be hoped
that most Of the hogs in the county
will be butchered in this city. We
would much rather see this than to
hear of them being shipped, and we
doubt not but what our people will do
just as well, IL not better, by selling
than by shipping.

 ,. The Bishop of the Diocese made his annual visitation to Christ church, on St. Matthews Day. Tuesday. Sept 21st. The occasion was one of unusual interest to this rural parish. There were present, besides the Bishop, the Rector, the Rev: William 0. Cooley, the Rev. Messrs. Charles c. Acly of New Milford, James c. Jaeocks of Woodbury, WmsaL. Peek of Marbledale. and George Seabury. for merly of Seymour. There were eight per- sons confirmed. The sermon of the Bish- op was from St. John 21-22, "What is that to thee? Follow thou me-" It was a clear and forcible analysis of the illogi- cal and unreasonable excuses which men are prone to give for the neglect of their personal duty. The attendance was large and the congregation earnest, attentive, and reverent. The persons confirmed were, with one exception, heads of fami- lies, and seemed deeply impressed with this assumption of their religious VOWS. The church with its new altar cloth and lamps presented an improved appearance to the worshippers-well beftting the house of God. The Bishop kindly con- gratulated the Rector. W. c.
 Mrs. Geo. E. Harris has a night blooming cereus, now budded and ready to blossom. It is really curiosity.
