tee on Reorganization, it was de.
cided that the road and franchise

cute new mortgages in place of the

ferred stock Of the old companies is

We can assure our readers that good
board at reasonable prices can be had
In almost any town in East Tennessee
from Cleveland to Bristol. Prices
vary from $12 to $40, according to lo-
cation. Besides places mentioned In
our special from Knoxville last Fri
day, are many others, among them
Mount Nebo, ten miles from Mary
vile and in the vicinity of Montvale.
This place is oa the top OF Chilhowee
Mountain, 5000 feet above the level OF
the sea. 1t is romantic. charming
place. Board $40 per month. Then
there is Lea's Springs, quitesa noted
place. twelve miles north of McMil-
lan's Station, just above Knoxville.
The proprietor. Ny. J. ID. Clinton,
keeps good house and also charges
$40 per month, and half price for
children. Morristown, forty miles
above Knoxville, can accom- modate q
large number, aud one Of the hotels
charges only Sl5 per month. Jones'
boro' can take number yet and Rog.
ersvilie is not quite full. The drouth
has cut off vegetables somewhat, still
there is enough to supply all demands.
We speak in the interest of our Owu
citizens. We say we believe East
Ten nessee is as healthy as any section
and the cheapest within reach Of
Memphians. Nearly all the well to dc
farmers are willing TO take O. few
boarders, aud if cases of extortion
have occurred, they must be few anI
far between. - Memphis Ledger. a-d q

SPREADING.
The fever is unquestionably
spreading, and already embraces
nearly every portion of the city.
North Memphis and Chelsea are
alone exempt.
THE DEATHS.
The following died of the yellow
fever since last report: F. Lorenzi,
aged 80, City Hospital W. G. Cop
pinger, aged %, s105 Madison
stieet DR.. j. G.. Harris, aged AZ,
$50 Wellington street. Neither
DR.. Harris case nor Mr.. Coppin>
gers were reported to the Board of
Health until after death. DIR. Har-
ris is the well-known dentist, whose
Office was at the corner of Monroe
and Main streets. Mr.. Coppinger
came from New York last fall, and
was employed at Menker Bros. and
latterly with B. Lowenstein & Bros.
His wife now lies dangerously i'll
with the fever. Their two children
have been removed to place of
safety.
STILL LEAVING.
The anxiety of citizens to leave
this ill-fated city is daily increasing.
Every train that departs is crowded,
and hundreds have gone into the
country. ALI species of vehicles
have been pressed into service, and
the roads leading from Memphis are
filed with wagons, conveying the
panic-stricken people to places of
safety. There were 800 passengers
aboard the steamer Coahoma, which
