KINGSTON ANN LoUDoN ATE ms

| Circuit sourt-Boid steaitng-Th 9
Kingston and Lond0n Bands.
We took run to Kingston, Monday
morning, and isnbefng Circuit Court
week, we met with large number OF
our country friends and patrons of the
CHRONICLE, and have no reason to
com plain of the encouragement we
received.
Judge Rodgers is pushing business
through the Court in a way to bid fair
to cnt short the term. There are
large number of cases on the docket,
but the Judge is diminishing the num-
| Der rapidly. azE
Considerable excitement was caused
on Tuesday morning by the fact that
some bold thief had entered several
rooms in the Exchange Hotel during
the night ndzcarried away several
pocket and memorandum books SEN
ator Seallost his pocket-book contain
| ing, We understand, about one hun
dred and twenty five dollars, and two
other gentlemen lost their memoran-
dun books, one of them being found
| after wards where the thief had thro wn
it, after discovering that it contained
| no money. Kingston has been cursed
with a bold thief for some time, and
at least one bold robbery week has
been the result. Mrs. James. lady
whose husband is on the Cincinnati
Southern, had her pocket book stolen
from her house while temporarily alb
sent on Monday, and lost about sew
enty-five dollars. So far no clue
to the rogue has been discovered.
Mr.. c. B. French and gentlemanly
sons regret the occurrence Of the rob-
berry at their hotel very much, but of
course can not be held responsible.
They keep good hotel. set an excel
lent table, and by their gentlemanly
and courteous treatment of their
guests make all feel comfortable and at
home. 1t is pleasant place to stop at.
The Harry Helm still carries the
mail and passengers between Loudoa
| Kingston and lockwood, the Emory
City being engaged in shipping lum
Der from Kingston. The Allison
brothers keep up the good reputation
of the line.
Corn crops along the line look splen-
did, and we noticed, also, some very
/ fine upland corn in Roane county, bet
ter than the average corn of any other
county we have visited lately.
We had the pleasure of listening TO
an open air concert by the Kingston
band, and we must say we doubt II
there is superior band in East Ten
nessee, considering the number OF
instruments used, only nine. They
were given the blue ribbon at Knox
vile on the Fourth Of July. aa
| On our return trip we also heard
the Loudon band, but only five OF
the old members of the band
were present, and number of new
recruits. who had only been practicing
few weeks, and are being instructed
by Prot. A. J. Reems, with j. 7.
Lowery as leader. The five old mem.
bers played several pieces by them
selves, and, judging from the music
produced by them, the old band must
have been an excellent one indeed,
and it woald have been close contest
between them and the Kingston band
had they both played at Knoxville on
the Fourth. The new band, as or
ganized, bids fair in the future to be
equaled by few and surpassed by
none. ~. 2-s4 3sa
Circuit Court will commence in
Loudon the last Monday in this month,
and, we learn, will last but few Gays
as the docket is very light.
