THE KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE
And Weekly Wing and Chronicle

for 1880.
During the coming Presidential
year, the DAILY CHRONICLE will
take an active part in the vigorous
discussions Of all political issues
involved, and will, az the same
time, keep its readers folly posted
on all the important events of the
day. 1t will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue
cess of the Republican ticket,
placing fidelity to the interests of
that party above any personal aims
or privata ambition. To this end
it will favor the selection of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearers in the coming canvass, and
when such are selected, it will do
everything reasonable to secure
their success.
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
will support no man for any Office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors of the State. 1t
will oppose the efforts of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infa~
nous schemes.
The WHIa AND CHRONICLE will
be published weekly, as before, and
will be made up from the issues of
the DAILY CHRONICLE. 1t will con-
tain a choice selection of miscella-
neous matter each week, together
with editorials, telegraph and local
matter. Especial attention will be
given its columns, and everything
that could be Objectionable in the
family circle will be carefully ex-
cluded. 1t will be the object of the
publishers to make it welcome
visitor into the families of the
country.
Its market reports will be carefully
revised every Tuesday and made as
nearly perfect and reliable as pos
sible.
The Agricultural columns of the
WING AND CHRONICLE shall receive
close attention, and will be i'm
proved all the time. In this depart
ment, the views of practical farmers
on topics of interest will be invited.
The proprietors Of these two old
and well established journals will
spare no pains to keep up and add
to their established reputation, and
are confident that they will make
them worth many times more than
the subscription price charged.

LETTER FROM BLACKS STATION.

BLACKS STATION, August 3O.-The bust.
ness of our town is quite dull at this time Ihe
centennial celebration of the battle OF Kings
Mountain and the primary election are the
only topics of the day.
Our people had the pleasure of seeing sew
eral of the candidates for county offices in
town last Thursday Capt. Glenn. Col. Nc
Corkle, DR.. Erwin, w. B. McCaw, A. Springs
Withers, W. S. May. j. Earnest Lowry, J.C.
Chambers, w. H. Stewart, W. z. Good and
Iredell Jones. Sheriff Glenn was the only
old incumbent among the number. They
were all sociable, clever set, and after meet
ing them, one would wish that he could vote
for them all.
At 3 o'clock that day, according to previ-
Gus appointment, ]. Hendrix Mclean ad'
dressed the assembled people in the interest
of the Greenback party. Mr.. Mclean pro-
ceeded to give the views held by that party.
He attacked both the Democratic and Re-
publican parties, and said that neither had
given or would give satisfaction; that they
both held to National banking and oppres-
sive monopolies that the Greenback party
held the remedies for the ills of the day, etc.
At the close of McLean's speech. w. II.
Stewart was called out by the crowd. he
replied to portion of McLeans speech, and
was followed by Iredell Jones. While Mr.:
Jones was speaking. the rain began to fall
and the meeting, held in grove near town.
was compelled to disperse.
e.. The rain fell for an hour and halt, and
was more severe shower than is usually
witnessed in this section. An embankment
of the railroad in town washed away, tor
several yards, leaving the iron and cross-tles
suspended without support. The road was
repaired in time for the train to pass over at
IL O'clock that night.
A drying kiln Of lumber, worth about
500, belonging to j. j. Whisonant, was ac'
cidentally burnt last Friday.
The revival at the Baptist Church, after
duration of nearly two weeks, ended last
Friday night when the solemn rite of baptism
was administered to large number who had
made profession of conversion. EGO.
