The Jonesboro' Herald and Iri-
bMne of the current week saws:

6atne of the current week says:
" 1t is understood that ex. Gov. Neil
B. Brown will, perhaps, address our
people before long on the subject of
the State debt. We are glad to hear
this for two reasons-first because the
matter needs to be fully discussed in
order that the people may cOmpre-
bend more clearly the Importance
the deep vital interest of the question
at issue, and secondly, because no one is
able to do so more intelligently than
the gentleman named. No one CONS
mands more largely the confidence
and respect of our people, and there is
no one among our living statesmen of
Tennessee whom they would be more
delighted to hear"
The people of Knoxville, we are
sure, would be glad to hear Gov.
Brown. There are thousands who
heard him before the war, when he
so ably and eloquently defended the
principles of the old Wing party
against such powerful competitors
as Aaron '. Brown, who would be
glad to hear him again, We trust
he may come to Knoxville.
WE think Knoxville is in excel
lent sanitary condition. The health
of our community was never better
at this season than it is now. We
are exempt from disease in re-
markable degree, for which we
ought to be truly thankful to the
Oliver of all good. But we can not
be too cautious. 1t is always best
to keep our house in order. Moth
ing is ever lost by cleanliness. IF
we keep our streets, alleys and pri-
vate premises clean, we not only
avoid disease but we have more re-
snect for ourselves. See that ne
noisome odors are allowed to gen
crate about J our premises to invite
disease. The laws of nature and
the laws of health are as unchange-
able as those of the Modes and
Persians. If they are violated,
those who violate them are
sure to be punished. We can not
afford to defy them. We repeat,
the health of our city is excellent,
and there is no cause whatever for
alarm. If we will only observe
reasonable and proper sanitary rules,
the rules of common sense, we will
continue to enjoy good health. If we
invite disease, we may get it. A
word to the wise is sufficient.

YELLOW FEVER AT MEMPHIS.

We have sad intelligence from
Memphis this morning. Yellow fever
has appeared there and the Board
of Health advises persons to seek a
place of safety. Thousands of per-
sons left yesterday, the railroads
being unable to furnish transporta-
ton for all who desired to get away
from the Inflated city. The disease
makes its appearance month
earlier than last year We trust
that it will not rage as it did then.
If it should, the place will be de-
populated. Every one that can
get away should leave at once. If
they do, there is far less danger of
carrying the disease with them.
Those who leave now should
find no trouble in securing
homes in other sections. Thousands
of them came to East Tennessee last
season, and many of them will come
again if the fever assumes an cpl
demic form. They are entitled to
our sympathies. Let US welcome
them to our mountain homes, where
the dreadful plague is shut out by
our pure bracing atmosphere, and
do what we can to alleviate their
suferings. Their lot is a hard one
at best, and to close our doors
against them would be an act of
cruelty, directly opposite to Chris
tan charity.
We trust that the fears which
appear to be entertained there now
may never be realized, and that the
disease is sporadic rather than cpl
demic; but whether it is or not, the
outside world should be prepared
for the worst. It will do no harm.

MCMILLAN's, July s, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: On Monday even
ing, the 7th inst, quite number of
young people assembled at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Nancy Roberts, in the
neighborhood of Washington Church.
The occasion was social singing, in
celebration of the birthday of Miss
Lizzie Crawford, eldest daughter Of
John P. Crawford, and grand daugh-
ter of Mrs. Roberts. The choir was led
by Mr.. John Roberts, and they all did
credit to themselves in every respect.
In fact, we do not remember of ever
bearing better singing anywhere, not
even from some of our best city
chOirs.
The young people, after singing for
an hour or two, and refreshing them.
selves with cider, apples and CONVEX
satioD, repaired 10 their homes, bear-
ing with them many happy memories
of pleasant evening. Among the
many friends whom had not met for
number of years was the congenial
face Of our old teacher, John P. Craw-
ford, who seems not to have changed
much since I was boy, attending his
school at the old Washington Church,
some fourteen years ago. 1t was in
deed pleasant 10 shake his hand, and
talk with him of past memories, find
ing him the same warm hearted
friend as in years gone by.

Monday morning about one hundred ladies'
and gentlemen boarded an extra train for
Newton to witness the laying Of the corner
stone Of the masonic temple. The train was
in charge Of W. s. Corbett, master Of the
lodge at this place, assisted by J. p. Allen.
These gentlemen were equal to the occasion.
and spared 90 pains to make it pleasant for
the party, for which they received the thanks
Of the entire patty. The morning was de-
lightful. The coaches were in fact elegant.
The run was made in fifty-fve minutes. On
arriving at their place Of destination the par
ty dispersed to the different hotels for din
ner. After which they repaired to the opera
building to listen to the address Of welcome
by one Of the citizens of Newton which was
done in an elegant and neat manner. Amer
which the members Of the different lodges in
their order formed in procession and marched
to the place where the masonic temple IL to
be erected and witnessed the laying Of the
corner stone under the imposing rites and
ceremonies Of the masonic order, conducted
by f. ID. Hillyer, Of Valley Falls.
At O'Clock in the evening reception and
ball was rendered the visiting brethren and
their friends at the opera building Mt which
time short speeches from Judge Muse, Of
Newton, NJ. 5. Adams, Of this city, and 9TH
ers were made. At 1890 the larger portion
Of the party took the regular passenger train
for home. The balance being joined by a
delegation from this city Of young men who
went up on the evening train remained until
the wee sma hours Of the morning for the
hall

our Animal Statistical Tail.

Annually the EAGLE has published a table
giving very full returns of the leading pro-
auctions Of the county. From these tables
all the valuable reviews published by us. and
all other papers and books, have been princi-
pally taken. We. as also our readers. are
under obligations to Ed. A. Dorsey, our eff
cient county clerk, who. with his assistants,
tabulated the figures from the returns of the
assessors. II is work of great care and
painstaking. The table is almost complete,
the township Of kechi only being missing.
II will be seen that we varied in some par
ticulars, the report. adding some items and
emitting others heretofore published.
II will be observed that after all the talk
the acreage of wheat for this year is but it,
tie less than that Of last. Without counting
kechi township, not yet returned, We have
1919 acres of wheat against s5.6;}s for 1873,
which will leave Sedgwick county still the
second wheat county of Kansas.
The number Of acres improved is given at
37 ,l,5, or over half the entire area. In one
sense that is not true. The returns show
not only the actual acres plowed, but en-
closed by hedge.
The increase Of acreage in corn is the most
marked, being nearly onc-third Of an increase,
or -. s5l acres a against ~ ,ts9S last year.
In oats there is about 1900 acres more this
year than last.
BY next week we hope TO give the compile
ted table showing totals of all the leading
industries and values Of the country.
