lar that in the House to prohibit

tion of epidemic AMI contagious dis

any place where a general or spe-
cial election is being held in a State

an earnest effort to put the Public Lii
brary of our city on permanent basis.

supreme importance of the object led
us to suspect.
We now appeal 10 the ladies of
Knoxville to aid us by their irresista
BILE influence. We ask them to meet
Us at the Library room next Monday
afternoon at 4 o'clock, to take steps to
inauguTate some kind Of an exhibition

of The Library We do hope the ladies
generally, and especially alithe young
ladies, will take hold of this noble en-
terprise. Whatever they unitedIy un-
dertake. will succeed. The ladies made
a grand success Of the library at At

Sad Dsa Ia of sheriff TnyiOr, Of Camp

DSIA SOAAty,
We obtained information yesterday
that Sheriff G. NJ. Taylor, of Camp
bell county, met with a sad and tragic
death last Friday. Re was, as we un-
derstand, assisting some other men in
loading a huge saw-log, when their
holds gave way, by some means, and
the immense and heavy piece of tins
Der came down with crash, bearing
Sheriff Taylor down, rolling over him,
and mashing him up in fearful man
ner, causing death almost instantly.
Sheriff Taylor was 3 popular man,
and q good officer. aud the news of
his sad death will cast a feeling of
gloom over his many friends III that
county as well as elsewhere.
