money. The smple-hearted countryman ask
ed no guarantee as to his stewardship, trusting
him with all the confidence Of a child
Large numbers of those who have found
purchasers for their lands have taken thpiI
families and their little fortunes and moved on
further west, Arkansas and Texas getting the
larger portion of the emigrants, over sixteen
hundred of whom passed through Chattanooga
in the month of December.
fla healthier, more energetic, more enlight-
ened class of people take their places, Tennes-
see has indeed cause for rejoicing, for nothing
but Drawn controlled by brain can ever bring
this State into a heatlful condition. Faith
without work amounts to no more in temporal
than in spiritual things, though the way some
folks sit around year after year, yet drawing
their regular supply of hog and hominy, leads
me to remark there are exceptions to all rules
Chattanooga boasts of forty miles of streets
and guess she has them, for the little city
struggles down to the river and out to the fool
of the mountain, browning all the hills around
and filling all the hollows. Yes, think there
may be full forty miles of streets; but o saci
streets defy you to find decent one in the
entire forty miles. There are pavements, some
of them fairly good, but the street proper, is
little more than badly demoraized dirt road.
The reason for this condition of affairs is
found in the fact that the debt OF the CITY is
out of all proportion to its taxable property,
requiring SO much to meet obligations in that
direction that but little money is left to appro-
pirate for street and other improvements.
Most of the business houses erected since
the war are of brick, and they will not shame
the CITY when it has filled the measure of its
ambition. Commodious, and in some instances.
81 giant residences have been erected all about
the town two large hotels are in the place,
the Reed House. opposite the Union depot
IL the Stanton House, on Market Street.
