- Oh. Mr. -, look at the horizon,
said rosy, dimple-cheeked beauty of
our village a bright afternoon Of last
week. Where, Miss - looking in
the direction she pointed. Why, don't
you see, said she archly, :. the hOe-risiag
in yonder feIds That young man says
there is no moonshine sentiment in that
girls soul, and be intends to rise early
and hoe late, just to please her fancy.
= A lamentable tragedy occurded last
night week ago, in Knoxville. at the
ball given by the Knoxville Zouaves.
Thomas Sneed. son of the late Col w.
II. Sneed, shot and instantly killed Thos.
Akin, son of s. T. Akin, a prominent
and influential citizen OF. that place.
From the testimony elected by the Cor
orner it is evident that had there been
no whisky present no murder would
hare been perpetrated.

= While receiving freight on his boat
up the river, yesterday morning, Capt.
Helm badly crippled his right foot by a
niis-step from platform or gang plank,
breaking a number of bones and bruis-
| ing the flesh considerably. He came
down on the freight train last night for
the purpose of getting medical attend
aDce. The steamer bearing his name
either arrived here at a late hour last
night or VIII be down this morning.

= Maj. j. NJ. Dickinson, we see, has
improved the appearance of the street in
front of his residence and store, by trans
planting row of beautiful maple trees
near the pavement. This is worthy of
note, and we trust it will be a criterion
to others owning property in our town.
Main street would be greatly enhanced
in point of attractive beauty if property
owners would add such adornings of ma
ture in front of their property.
Information reaches us of most
horrible and inhuman case of infanti-
eide, by colored woman in the upper
end of jefferson county, Tenn, that
happened some two wesks ago. The de-
tails are of too revolving a nature to pub
Iish and we refrain from 90 doing, trust
ing the officials of that county will make
a thorough investigation of the crime,
and administer the law in all its force
upon the instigator or perpetrator Of the
deed.
= As familiar and genial face as you
will find in Knoxville is the honest one
of Capt j. II. Valley, the pioneer cigar
and tobacco man of that ancient and
honored city. His many friends and
acquaintance win find him at the new
tobacco store, corner Of Gay and Clinch
streets, at the sign of the big base ballist,
where the best brands of cigars, the fin
est tobacco and smokers articles gener-
ally arc sold rs cheap as anywhere else
in the city. Drop in and see the Captain
when you visit the metropolis.
The last authentic information we
have Of the whereabouts of Capt. Jaques
- NJ. Hfa0oUo x-ko ,>oocod tIrouub
this place week ago for the head of
the road at Wolf Creek, is that the two
gentlemen were on the eve of departure |
from Paint Rock, on pedestrian trip |
over the contemplated line of road be- |
that point and Asheville, n. G. Their |
mission is to look up the best and most |
practicable route for extending the road.
While it may be true that large bodies |
move slowly, it is equally true that they |
move steadily and successfully. There
is good time coming, folks, wait lit
tie longer.
