The market was inanimate throughout the
day, but as three buyers took together 1900
bales, the sales summed up the amount noted
above. A considerable portion of the offer
ings was held steadily at previous rates, but in
some cases factors were willing to accept
offers which they had previously refused, and
which, in fact, were sc lower than yesterdays
rates. A good style of Low Middling, for
example, which could not have been bought
yester iay under 15tc, was sold at 15c, and
list previously held at 154c was offered at
15sc.
The movement was checked by the dis
couraging dispatches from Liverpool, where,
while there was no quotable decline, the
sales were only 5000 bales, which is the
smallest amount reported since the opening
of business for the season. In connection
with this marked decline in rentes at Paris
excited q good deal Of attention. On the
eother hand, buyers were favored by an ad-
vance of 2-1O y cent in sterling exchange.
The amount on shipboard not cleared,
going on board, and engaged for shipment was
set down at the opening this morning ct
~, 800 bales, embracing 10000 for Liver
pool, IA, 900 for Havre, $500 for the Mediter-
iranean, 1000 for Bremen, 1000 for the North
Sea and 5000 for the North, which, when
deducted from the stock on hand by our

Synopsis of the Proceedings of
the Board of Mayor and AL
dermen, October 8, 1875.

After the reading of the minutes of
the previous meeting, and their approx
al, the Mayor informed the Board that
JAS P Evans, Esq, declined 20 serve as
Recorder. The Board thereupon pro-
ceeded to ballot for Recorder, when A.
]. Donaldson was unanimously elected,
and being informed of the same he at
once gave the required bond and was
duly indicted into office
The Board then proceeded to elect a
Constable, and after several ballots were
had j. H. Maxwell was declared duly
elected who, upon being informed of his
election gave the required bond and
took upon himself his oath of Office as
required by law.
The Board assessed tax on all priv
ileges, the same as under State law, ex-
cept circus shows, which are taxed $40,
retail liquor dealers $75, and photo
graphers $25. That retail liquor dealers
have the privilege of taking out license
for 3 months by paying a privilege of
$25, and photographers $40 for 3 months.
The Board passed an ordinance re-
curing all persons who failed to secure
any fine and costs assessed against them
to work out the same on the streets at
rs cents per day, allowing the Constable
40cents a day for boarding them, etc.
Also to authorize the Street Committee
to purchase the necessary working tools.

The Eastern Division Fair.

We have but few comments to make
upon the exposition of the managers Of
the Eastern Division Fair, which closed
at Knoxville last Saturday 1t was
heralded by an cutlery which should
have produced larger quantity of wool.
1t was, as our readers know, gotten up
under the auspices of the Patrons of
Husbandry, or Changers; but so far as
their part of the show was concerned
it was miserable failure in the prssen
tation of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, and
cereal productions of this end of theState,
al all creditable to the opportunity
There were redeeming features, how
ever, outside of this organization that
made the Fair a partial success as an ex-
hibitioa and saved it financially. The
ladies and citizens of Knoxville, seeing
the paucity of that which makes the
principal attractions on such occasions,
came grandly to the rescue, and filed
up the indoors departments nicely, and
made more than a creditable showing
The floral display %as superb. The
merchants, mechanics and artisans of
Knoxville did all that it was possible to
do to make up the deficiency in the ag-
ricultural departments. Considering
that there were no peaches or pears
grown in the Eastern Division this sea-
son, the horticultural display of apples
and flowers was creditable indeed.
Saturday, the fifth and lass days dis
play, was made up of reading, walking,
foot race, singing, violin contest, and a
fat MANS race, all of which were highly
relished by the few hundreds in atten-
dance
We hope and believe at the next Fair
for this Division there will be more at
tention paid to the stock department, of
which there is plenty within the bounds
Of the Eastern Division to make a grand
and creditable display. No horse ra-
cling was permitted on the last occasion, its
immortality being too manifest for the
managers of the affair; yet, in lieu there
of, hundred or more innocent pigeons
were given up to slaughter for the
amusement of the marksmeR and the
virtuous crowd who delight in such
delectable doings. If a creditable dis
play of fine stock cannot be gotten to-
gether at the next exposition without a
hOrse-race, let us have the horse race.

WhiteSDurg.

A correspondent writing from Whites
burg reports that village as all right
growing fast. 1t is daily filed with wag-
ons, hauling wheat and goods, and occa-
sionally reminding him of the hustle of
Broadway. He reports the citizens as
having two good churches, two excel
lent schools, four stores and one saloon
Being widower, without encumbranees,
ne is DESTROYS of making the acquaint-
ance of some lady who can get a good
meal and run Wheeler 81 Wilson sew
ing machine. He promises to be down
this way soon to see if he can accom-
plish his mission before the weather gets
bad. Our friend withholds his name, SO
we can only say to him that our men and
women rarely let an opportunity pass of
making a good trade. If he is a market
able man there is chance for him.

A Rare Bird.

A remarkable bird was captured in the
vicinity of our town last Saturday by
Mr.. Farmer. In size it resembles the
water-crane, but the color is more like
quail. Has no tail feathers and is a
ferocious looking waterfowl. 1t utters
a low sound when approached very much
like dog, and fights like pretty poll. "
We have ranged through the different
authorities and find nothing to CORES
pond with the bird, except, perhaps the
Ruff" an Asiatic fowl, which is some
what smaller. The question is what
brough. this creature to our countryY
Perhaps, like the Carrier Pigeon, it was
to have carried back news of the Knox
vile Fair. One of our knowing town
boys says it is one of John Robinson's
advertising mediums. We should INT
wonder much if its true GRAND was to
proclaim the capture Of Herzegovina.
However, the bird has been retained
and viii speak for himself.

Death of Hon. r.. j. McKinne.

y
Hon. Robert J. Mckinney died at his
residence in Knoxville last Saturday
morning at half past o'clock. He-was
born in Londonderry county, Ireland,
February 1, 1903, consequently he was
in his I'D year. He came to Philadel-
phia, Pa, about the commencement of
the war of 1912, and resided there sew
eral years, when he came to Hawkins
county, Tennessee, and, like many other
poor and almost friendless boys, resolved
to make man of himself. He was stu
dious, read law, and was admitted to the
bar in 1924. He practiced in Rogers
vile a year or two, when he removed to
Greeneville, where he met ample success.
In 1947 he was elected Justice of the Su-
preme Court, in which capacity he serv-
ed till the office was abolished by the
war, which destroyed the constitution
of the State. Judge Mckinney was
twice married, first in 1913, and again in
1851. Both his wives preceded him to
the grave In 1854 Judge Mckinney
moved to Knoxville, where he has since
resided. He was man of excellent
judgment, and from young man his
seniors deferred to him. He had held
several offices, among willie Il was that of
delegate to the Constitutional Conven-
ton of 1884. He was, in politics, a
Wing when that party existed, since
which time he has acted with the Dem
ocrats; in religion he was a devoted and
faithful member of the Presbyterian
Church. His memory will be honOred.

The above is an old, and by s0ns it is

it to the present time, just as though

much time, and in as many different
ways, as DIR. Franklin, or any other man
of my age; but my disposition is too
much like that of the boy with the hatch

that time is money! No, SIR; it's too
thin. Haven't seen days, weeks, months,
and even years, pass quietly. by, and
leave me without a red You bet. III
had never tested this thing might have
been as ignorant as other men, but have
thoroughly tested it, and know whereof
I speak. I happen to know several
things that everybody don't know.
Now, the good old Psalmist, in his
writings, said many good things, and oc-
casionally, when he would get off good
thing, he would hollow out, Selahi and
that very little word is bother to our
smart men to the present day. Some
say he meant one thing, and some say
another. Some of the preachers say he
meant Amen, while some people say that
he had a servant girl named Selah, and
that the old fellow liked his bitters, and
when he got off a good thing, or was
tired of writing, he called for Sclah to
bring him drink. But this is all stuff,
and not very appropriate for the occa
sion. The fact is, people had their by
words in those days as. well as now, and
the word Selah then, meant the same as
bully does now, and when the good old
man got off a good thing, he would hol

Of Interest to OcOee Bank Note
Holders.

The Knoxville Chronicle, of Sunday,
says that Chancellor Cooper, of Nash
vile, holding the Chahcery Court for
Knox county by interchange with
Chancellor Temple, decided very i'm
portant case a few days ago, known as
the Ocoee Bank case. The holders OF
Ocoee Bank money have several years
back been taking Judgment on their
notes in the Circuit Court for this coun-
ty. 4 bill was filed in the Chancery
Court in behalf of these judgment cred
itors against the stockholders of the
Ocoee Bank, seeking to hold them per
sonally liable for the judgments, alleg-
ing fraud in the management of the
bank, and that but little of the stock
subscribed had in fact ever been paid
The case has been litigated for some six
years. and was heard last week, most of
the members of the bar being interested.
The Chancellor rendered a decree which
tears the old stockholders up by the
roots. He sustained the charges of
fraud in its management, and gave a
decree against the stockholders for the
full amount claimed, amounting in the
aggregate, we are informed, to consid-
erably over $50, 600.
