GOING WEST.
Over 1900 People Ticketed from
Chattanooga This Season.

Chattanooga This Season.
In past years the lamentable anx-
iety Of our people to desert their
native lands for homes in the West
has been deplored, but during the
present season there is greater cause
for complaint than ever before. The
abundant crops in this region and
the blessings showered on our peo-
pie by kind Providence, instead Of
reconciling them, has merely fur
nished the means for indulging their
desire to seek their fortunes in other
lands. As fast as they harvest their
crops and can market them, they
proceed to pack all their movable
belongings, dispose of their
little interests, and, accom-
panied by their numerous family,
put themselves at the mercy OF
the ubiquitous emigrant agent, and
are marched to the West, where they
conceive of land flowing with milk
and honey, where property and

imum amount of labor. Every day
for weeks past the deluded creatures
have crowded into our city on every
train in scores. They come from
Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia
aud East Tennessee, and can hardly
curb their patients to get out of this,
their native country. Since Septem
Der 1st 5000 persons have been tick
eted to the West in the Union Ticket
office and fully 500 in other Offices
in this city. They represent bet
ter class of farmers than ever before,
and will prove a serious loss to this
section. The present week promises
to be the hveliest of the season, and
it is quite likely several hundred will
pass through. At low estimate no
less than 5000 will be ticketed III
Chattanooga alone, and as many
more at many other southern offices.

Rugby Rugbian: There is no State
in the Union where iron can be made
so cheaply as in Tennessee. We
have all the requirements around us,

Our wealth is in ourselves. The la

only from it's wealth, but from its
central and keystone position, an in

The present comet in the East.
ern sky, which can be distinctly
seen by everyone at early morning,
is certainly the most remarkable
one Of all the modern comets.
Prof. Lewis Swift, director Of the
Warner Observatory, Rochester,
n. r., states that the comet grased
the sun 10 closely as to cause great
disturbance, so much so that it has
divided into no less'.than eight sep
aratc parts, al Of which can be dis
tinctly seen by q good telescope.
There is only one other instance
on record where comet has divid-
cd, that one being Biclla's comet
Of lS46, which separated into two
parts. Applications have been
madeon Mr.. H. H. Warner by
parties who have noted these COM
etAry ofFshoots. claiming the 600
prize for each one Of them.
Whether the great comet will con-
tinuc ~ produce a brood Of small
er comets remains to be seen.

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Sarah Iyey was born in
Macoupin county, Ills. When
quite young her father started with
his family to Texas, but died on
the way, and was buried at the
Hildebrand Mills, in,the Cherokee
nation. The family went on to
Texas, but by strange destiny,
she afterwards came back TO live
ON the land where her father died.
She was married to A. Il. Ivey, in
FEBRUARY, 1875, and moved to the
nation, but she never knew where
her fathers grave was until quite
recently, she being too young when
he died to remember much about
it. Her death was mentioned in
our last issue.
She was perfect lady. Her
quiet grace, sweet temper and
qucenly dignity, always won her
respect and admiration. She was
singularly affectionste and devoted
as faithful beyond all praise. She
was n member of the Methodist
church, in vinita, and although
home duties and cares interfered
with her public service Of the
church, its records bear no name
more honored or sacred. Her
Christian character will be = most
winning sermon as long as her
memory is cherished. She was
one of those whom the world can
least afford to spare. And yet the
more this is so, the more is our
loss her eternal gain. In her life
she gave her soul to God, and it
was safe in his keeping. Having
been his, she is still his, and with
him in his Home.

May such blissful refuge be :"
