GREENEyILLE, July so, 1879.
1IR. EDITOR: Perhaps no other
county in upper East Tennessee has
made more progress in the manner
of conducting common schools than
the county Of Greene. The county
beng a very large one, it is difficult,
II not impossible, to gain an accu~
rate idea Of what is being done by
actual observation. The statistics
SHOW that during the past year
there have been enrolled in the com
mon schools more than five thousand
puEsls, out Of an aggregate acbo-
Leslie population Of about seven
thousand. The average daily at
tendance has been about thirty, five
hundred, and to support these
schools about $4,000 have been
expended.
A Normal School is now
being taught in Greeneyille,
and there are about eight persons
in attendance. The teachers are
Profs. r. II. Alexander, J. K. p.
Sayler and J. G. Park. They are
all practical educators, and the ex-

ercises are made both interesting
and instructive. Every new meth
Cd Of teaching which should be
found to lie Of practical value viii
be adopted in Greene county, and
old fogy methods will rapidly ass
appear.
zens of Greeneyille have died.
James Theodore Wilson, brother
Of 4. B. Wilson and S. D. Wilson,
died from the effects Of injuries re
ceiyed on last Thursday, and Mrs.
Venerah Sewer died on last Friday.
Mrs. Sewer was the widow Of Wax
entine- Sewer, and the mother q
Charles L. Sewer and Il V. Sc
yier OF our town.
The report has been circulated
that Greeneplle has been quaran-
tined against ar parties from Mems
phis. This IS mistake. There
3re no quarantine regulations en-
forced, aud we believe that such
/ refugees could find no more pleasant
place. and no place where they
would be treated with more kind
ness than in Green ayjile.
We have learned that Deputy
Marshal G. NJ. Piper, Of eur county,
vas arrested On yesterday by GER
/ tain parties from Cooke county and
/ taken 10 Newport. This arrest is
supposed to hay8 been made Gu q

Council Proceedings.

There was q regular meeting OF tn
Council last Wednesday evening, at whicI
all members were present. The minute
of the previous meeting were read and ap
proved.
The Chairman of the Street Committee
to whom was referred the petition for
continuation of Camp Street through tht
property of Mary ard Ann Cheeney Il
Nathan Street, reported he had conferred
with the Misses Cheney, and that the,
would give right of way through theil
lands for $500; or they would allow the
price to be determined by three appraisers,
they to choose one, the Council one and
the two thus chosen to select the third.
The latter proposition the Council agreed
to and therefor appointed Mr.. Fred. Car
Isle as their appraiser.
The Chairman of Gas Committee and
Clerk, to whom was referred the bills of
the Ashtabula Gas Light Co., were granted
further time and were instructed to settle
