CITY of Knoxville VS.. Gas Light Co

1t appears from the published proceed
ings of the Chancery Court that the demur-
rer to the city's bill has been overruled in
this very important suit, and this is a re-
minder, too, that there is one alderman at
least of the old board that ought to be re-
turned, that is the efficient chairman of the
gas committee, Mr.. Thos. A. Z. Nelson.
Ihave heard, and others have heard, the
present Democratic mayor say openly and
publicly that Mr.. Nelson was one of the
most efficient and reliable members of the
board, and ought by all means to be re-
elected. There is, he insists, a further and
special reason for his reelection in the
fact that the city has now pending this very
important suit with the Knoxville Gas Light
company, with the merits of which Mr.
Nelson is fully acquainted. and if reelected
could work up to a successful termination.
During the past year he has ferretted out a
great many of the frauds that have been
perpetrated by that company upon our city
for several years past, the discovery and ex-
posure of which has led to judicial invesu-
CATION, and is obliged to result in the saving
, of thousands of dollars to the taxpayers.

The Local s,nall-Pox Record.

No additional news has been received
officially from the small po1 epidemic which
has been prevailing to considerable extent
about Graveston and House Mountain. in
the North End of Knox County. We have
heard of no deaths yet, and no new cases
developed. United States Gauger S. r. Rog-
ers, who is on duty at Kelley's distillery, was
reported as one of the cases. He has been on
duty all the time, however, and making his
reports to headquarters in this city.
gentleman from the locality reported to
be infected, was in the city yesterday and
says that some of the cases are nothing but
chicken-pox. At any rate the people in
that direction are smartly scared up. We
understand that some Of the cross roads
stores have closed up altogether. One man
keeps his doors closed, and if he sees Gus
toner coming from the direction of the
smallpox he will not open to him, but if a
man comes from the opposite direction, he
can get in
Rumors prevails about the city that their
is smallpox in Knoxville, but there is no
authentic information to that effect.

Major Campbeu Wallace

Atlanta Constitution At tbs annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Merchants
bank day before yesterday, the president,
Major Campbell Wallace, after the business
of the bank had been transacted, on his own
motion and without any conference on the
subject, moved that the salary, just voted
him for the year be reduced fifteen hundred
dollars, and that this sum be distributed
among the other officers under him. Major
Wallace, We are informed by stakeholder
who was present, said he thought the other
officers should have an increase of salary on
account of the increased business that he
was getting old and could not do as much
work us he once could, and as these officers
all tried to make his work light he thought
it was an act of justice.
During last summer when Mai. Wallace
was absent on vacation his salary accumu-
lated and amounted to about $780, When
he returned he distributed the sum among
the officers of the bank that had done the
work. He said they were entitled TO it.
Major Wallace has always been exceedingly
popular with men employed under him,
and this Is the secret of his great popularity
among them. He is very exacting, but just
IN everything. He can look back over his
life, now % years, and count more friends
who have served with him and under him
than any man in America. He has accumu-
lated very little property and depends on
his salary for his support, but we dare say
he would not exchange his long list of faith
full friends and his reputation for fair deal
ing and fidelity to what he thinks is right
for Eanderbiit's fortune

POVERTY AND DISTRESS.

That poverty which produces the greatest
distress is not of the purse but of the blood.
Deprived of its richness it becomes scant
and watery, a condition termed afaelnia in
the medical writings. Given this condition,
and scrofulous swellings and sores, general
and nervous debility, loss of flesh and ap-
petite, weak lungs, throat disease, splitting
of blood and consumption, are among the
common results. If you are a suffer from
thin, poor blood employ DR. Pierce's Sol
den Medical Discovery" which enriches the
blood and cures these grave affection Is
more nutritive than cod liver oil, and is
harmless in any condition of the system,
yet powerful to cure By druggists.

Sweetwater Tuesday night, we boarded the
cars for Athens, and who should we meet
but q former schoolmate at Athens, the
Rev. Mr. Henck, who is now stationed
preacher at McMinuyille, and is visiting
along down the road towards Chattanooga.
We found Athens shrouded in gloom over
the death of W. B. McKeldin, who died
last Monday at 1:30 a. m, and
was buried to-day wednesday, at
about 3 p. m The deceased was a prorni-
nent man, the owner of the foundry at
Athens; and related to many of the best
citizens. They have our sympathy in their
bereavement.

teaching this year in the University

yennor's Predictions for January. @

The year viii enter fine and moderate in
the majority of sections, but with failing
temperature towards or on the Sd, and cold
snap, varying in intensity according to To-
cation, between the Sd and 5th days.
Heavy snowfalls probably throughout Cen
tral Canada and southwark to New York and
Washington, with considerable buster
about the end of the week (7th). 1t is
probable that the second week will
give very cold term in nothen
and western sections, moderating to
ward the end of the week to heavy snow
falls in Canada and Northern States and
rains in more Southern sections. Unsettled
and stormy, but moderate weather will
likely characterize the entry of the third
week with blustry weather in the west and
rain TO the southwark, followed by still
milder weather and alterations of snow,
sleet and rain in northern sections. An
occasional fine day between these disturb
anees. The 18th is likely to bring lower
temperature. Week likely to end mild,
with snow and rain extending southwark to
New York and Washington.
