Extra Fine Peaches

Capt. Gaines M. Harrill, our enter
prising fellow-citizen, exhibited in our
office last night large measure of the
finest and most MISUNDERSTANDING
peaches we have ever looked upon,
without exception. They were grown
in his magnificent orchard near the
city, in the I'd district. One was
tested and measured ten inches
around, weighing ten ounces,
and there were many more as large.
They were certainly not to be sur-
passed in this section of country, and
are convincing fact that fine peaches
can be raised in East Tennessee. He
will have them on exhibition at Bolli
& Halls corner this morning, where
he has peaches on sale every morning
from the same orchard.

JOsenh r. York.

Mr.. EDITOR: I desire to call the
attention of every Republican in
Knox county to the fact that when
they vote for Mr.. Joseph r. York,
they vote for one among the most con-
sistent and worthy Republicans
within our midst. He has always
been an earnest worker in our party
in every election for a number OF
years, and has done much to swell the
majority in behalf of the Republican
ticket. And as he is the nominee of
the party for the position of County
Court Clerk, he surely deserves the
support of every Republican in Knox
county rather than one who
not only has done everything
within his power to defeat
our party by falsehood and misrepre-
sentation. but fought during the war
to ruin the Government which the
Republican party was called into ex-
istence to save and perpetuate. This
is written without his knowledge in
behalf of simple justice.
ALWAYS REPUBLICAN,.

The New Departure - In Greenba KS,

sOrbed all attention, and was the chief
topic of cnnvert alton yesterday on the

his withdrawal card" WAS eagerly

hour
The fact that the "organ" down
the way is, go far, entirely mum
on the subject, not even giving
it as a matter of news, excites general
remark. But the Democracy have
certainly got their foot into 1t bad on
this trick. We understand they have
the 3,OOh withdrawal cards" now in
custody at the Tribune office, and the
machine managers refuse to send them
out as was the intention. The enter
prise of the CHRONICLE fOrestalled
them, however, and made it useless
for them to scatter the cards."

In every nookand corner Of the county,

What tn do In the premises seems
to puzzle the demOralized Democracy.
1t is understood that in their desperate
straits they were yesterday attempt.
ing to repurchase Fitch on the tracK
again, but, in the first place he appears
to be satisfied with the first ''check."
AS to the promised deputyship under
in that, no doubt. On the
other hand such tactics would be a
greater blunder than the first, for not

him with a forty foot pole. Poor

ATHENS, July &c, l,

ATHENS, July 26, 1878.
Mr., EDITOR: The venerable John
II. Savage acclaimed here to-day to a
venerable crowd of about thirty OF
Royal Bengal Tiger Democrats. The
balance of our community, both Re-
publican and Democratic, did not turn
out, as they had no desire to hear the
blatant Tepudiatfonist, who is gyrating
up and down the State haranguing
the people wherever he can find them
in drowsy clusters to the amount Of a
BAKERS dozen, upon the dignified sub
jet of the State debt. The Colonel
spoke in the court house here, and for
two hours and a-half he fought the air
with his eloquent arms and emphatic
feet. He made the speech that
he makes wherever he goes, without
change Or variation, which is familiar
to every one. To say the Colonel
has no following here is TO state an
untruth, f he has, and they are all
confined to his own party. In fact, so
strong Is he out of town, that it would
not surprise us if the gathering of
county Democrats here Monday for
the purpose of appointing delegates to
the Nashville GubernatOrial Conven-
ton, did not instruct for Savage. We
will also state that the Savageites en-
brace some of the very best citizens of
abe county. Should lac get the uomi-
nation at Nashville in August, the
Republicans OF this county will unite
no of -
mOcracy, which comprises about five
eighths of the Democratic entity of
this county, and support some man
like Caldwell, Fleming, or Sneed. /
The people of Tennessee have been
disgraced in their own eyes by the cell
ebrated penitehtIary lease, and now
they don't want tn be- disgraced in the
eyes of the world toy the God-despised
and hell-loveh proposition of repudia-
ton. .1E~. fHa ---3
Judge Jno. B. Hoyl was here also.
His mission is one of electioneering,
He looks very much tanned, which is |
10 be accounted for by the fact that he |
has dropped his fine plug and donned |
his narrOw-hrimmtd seedy-lOoking |
tile, which admits mere of the direct |
solar rays to his face. The seedy-look-
ing hat is much better for catching
votes on the fly, aa it is several inches
deeper and much stronger. This is
thought to be loves last shift.
The Judge had thirty thousand dol
ars in the Cleveland Bank, and when
he ten per cent. law was repealed he
sent it to Georgia, whore he loaned it
1t twelve. The Judge is badly beat,
and we are sorry, but can't cry. Nor

We are informed that the vicinity Of

powerful washing rain, such as has not
been known for years. Much damage
was done.
We infer from hushed rumor on

something of the kind was played in
this vicinity Saturday. Is there any
thing of it? Hasn't it been kept still

John Walker, colOred, was called
from his house, shot and killed in
Chattanooga last Friday night by Jim
Bruce, also colored. Bruce was caught
and jailed. Three disreputable white
women were also arrested as instiga-
tors of the assassination.
The election has been almost en-
tirely lost sight of in the past three
days, and the game of base ball alb
sOrbed all interest. That is somewhat
subsiding, however, and the sover-
eigns are getting down to hard pan on
election talk again. There isn't much
time TO lose now.
There is no reason OF complaint now
for the want of rain. The showers for
the past few days have been frequent
and cOpious, and it now indicates a
superfiuity. 1t doesn't seem to affect
the atmosphere much, however, but
it is glorious on the growing crops and
gardens which were almost burned
