CIRCULAR LETTER.
To the Vice-Presidents, Superin-
tendents, Teachers and 9th
ers Engaged I'm the Advance
ment of the sabbath
School Cause.

The executive committee of the East
Tennessee Sunday school convention
has issued the programme for the
tenth annual meeting to be held at
Loudon, on Thursday and Friday,
May IS and IA, 1880.
Blank reports have also been sent to
all the vicespresidents Of each county,
who will forward one to the superin-
tendent of each school, to be filed and
returned to him at once.
The convention earnestly desire o
full and complete report OF our Sunday
school work for the year. These re.
ports are for the Information and en-
couragement of all. The reporting to
the East Tennessee Sunday school
convention does not preclude sending
the same report to the denomination
to which the school belongs.
Our one desire is to learn how many
Sabbath schosls exist in our section of
the state, how many OF our inhabit,
ants are studying Gods word In them,
how thoroughly we are doing that
studying; and what we are doing to
win the non-attendants. Let your
light shine"
AS this is the centennial year of
SABBATH schools, and is to be made
memorable by Worlds Sunday
school convention to be held In LON
don in June next. Shall we not as
Gods dear children unite our efforts to
make this a year Of blessed results,
that on all the mountain sides, and
along the fertile valleys, and In all the
waste places of this beautiful country,
the people shall hear the joyful sound
OF salvation.
A word about county and district
conventions: 1t Ia made the duty of
every vice president to take general
supervision aud oversight Of the Sun
day schools In his county; and as far
as possible organize conventions in his
county, and other work tnat may be
necessary for the advancement of the
Sabbath school cause. To make his
summary report for his county and
forward to the statistical Secretary at
least two weeks prior TO the meeting OF
the East Tennessee convention.
We want to have a well organized
convention in every county. Infor-
nation and suggestive helps will be
sent on application to the secretary.
He desires to be helpful in every possi-
BILE way, and will cheerfully respond
to any calls made upon him, TO the
full extent OF his ability.
Will not all set to work In earnest In
those counties not already organized ?
To conclude-Will the vice presl-
dents please consider this personal
appeal to them to 90 to work. Please

WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, March, 27.

w AouANulON, MARCH, a.
The senate committee on appro-
priations to-day practically com
pleted their consideration of the i'm
mediate deficiency bill which
included the appropriation of $607,-
800 for United States marshals and
deputy marshals and 100000 for
the government printing Office. The
latter amount is reduced 100000
by the committee in consequence of
the passage by both houses, since the
pending bill was prepared,
special appropriation of $780,
600 for the same purpose.
The amount of the house appropri-
alton for marshals and their depu-
ties will not be changed, but the
committee decided an amendment
should be made in the phraseology
of the clause relative to the future
method of appointing deputy mar
shals at elections. The house pros
vision on this subject requires
their appointment by United
States circuit or district 'Judges,"
but the constitution provides
that all officers shall be appointed
by the president, by and with the
advice and consent of the senate,
with the reservation that congress
may by law vest the appointment
Of such inferior officers, if it think
proper, in the president alone, in
he heads of departments or courts
If law. The committee, therefore,
propose to explicitly vest the ap-
of deputy marshals in
courts" instead of comforting
lem upon individual "judges."

THE WINDS FATAL FREAKS.
Clark's Steam Saw Mill, south
of the River, Blown Down.
Mr. Clark Killed Almost In
stantIy by the Fall.

Mr.. K. r. Clark met with fatal
accident about 1 O'Clock yesterday
evening, at the steam saw mill which
has but recently been put in operation
by him, on the south side of the river,
just above Jones' ferry. He, with
four or five hands, were operating the
mill, when one of those strong gusts
Of wind came and blew the shed
down upon them with a crash. All
the other men escaped, some of them
narrowly, but Mr.. Clark was thrown
down near the saw, and heavy piece
OF timber fell upon his body. He
was soon rescued and only spoke few
words, asking the boys to take the
timber off and lay him down easy.
One Of his arms was msngled some.
what by contact with the saw, but the
fatal injury was an inward one.
The body was taken Immediately to
the house of Mr.. Alex. Davis, the en-
gineer, near by, and he only breathed
for 10 or 15 minutes afterwards.
The shed over the mill was only
temporary aud not very substantial
one. Mr.. Davis says he warned Mr..
CLARK that 1t was dangerous in such a
wind, but Mr.. Clark thought not and
said they would continue working.
He being hard of hearing was not SO
soon apprised of the fact that the shed
was falling as the other men, hence,
perhaps, his failure to escape.
1t was indeed sad affair, and cast q
gloom on the many friends of the de-
ceased. Large crowds gathered on
the wharf, and numbers went across
to see the remains. Coroner A.. S.
Hudiburg attended and summoned
the following jury of inquest: Alex.
Reeder, Jack Jones. J. B. Johnson,
Henry Davenport, Hu. Davis, J. NJ.
Ellington and Thos. A. Norman.
They heard the evidence of Alex. Da,
Wis, and rendered verdict OF acci-
dental death. The remains were
brought over and taken to Mr.. Clafks's
home, north of the city.
Mr.. Clark was man perh APPS so
odd years old, and was one of our
most worthy and enterprising citi.
zens, He was man of strict integ-
rity and honesty, untiring energy and
push as business man, and was liked
by all who knew him. He formerly
lived at Strawberry Plains, but recent
ly became resident here, nriH nHH,"66f ~ Ire
city. He e had Just got fairly started
with his saw mill, with prospects of
success.
1t was sad blow 10 the family and
friends. He leaves wife, who was q
laughter of VIM. Trent, at the Plains,
md family of children. Two of his
daughters are wives of DR.. ]. c.
of this city, and Rev. E. E,
Aoss, of Martha Washington College,
Va. Mr.. Clark was member In good
standing OF Hope Commandery,
United Order OF the Golden Cross,
having but recently taken the third
degree. The order will attend to his
funeral, and the widow will receive
,he So 600 death benefit allowed by the |
lrder

THE BUSINESS OF EAST TEN
NESSEE,
And the Surest and Cheapest
Way to Reach it.

There are, In East Tennessee, six-
teen hundred merchants. For enter
prise, business capacity and CONNER
cial promptness, they will compare
favorably with the merchants of any
territory of equal area in the south or
west. The history of business failures
for the last ten years will show very
favorably to the merchants OF East
Tennessee. A majority of them have
made their business study, and know
what their customers want and how
to meet the demands of trade. Their
business is on q substantial basis, and
wholesale merchants, jobbers and
manufacturers in the large business
centers of the country, industriously
court their patronage. 1t is not possi-
BILE to give full statiscs, show
ing all the business of East Ten
nessee merchants, but glance at
the last annual report of the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
will give some idea of its extent.
From that report it appears, that for
the year ending June 30th, 1879, the
tonnage received at the various stas
tions along that line of road was 546,-
964, ,086 pounds, being an increase over
the preceding year, of 6S. .S54, ,52l
pounds. This road passes through
this section of the state from Bristol to
Chattanooga, and Its reports are
pretty fair indication of our local
business.
The question of supplying all of
these merchants with their stocks of
goods, is one of interest to wholesale
dealers, jobbers and manufacturers,
not only in Knoxville but in New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Gins
cinnati and other commercial centers.
Now that their great Southern road
has been completed, the merchants
and manufacturers Of Cincinnati have
a new incentive to seek this trade.
To them, and to all others having
this object In view, we would COM
mend the advertising columns of the
CHRONICLE as medium through
which the business men of this section
may be reached. Our paper circulates
in very county in East Tennessee, and |
in almost every civil district. Our
rates are reasonable, and money ex>
pended in advertising with us, is sure
to bring a satisfactory return. The
same amount of moneycan not be ex-
pended in any other way with such
ory results.
