SMALLPOX NEWS.
Meeting Of the Board Of Health and spe-
oial Council NFe~xsn~


Meeting Of the Board Of Health and spe-
cial Council Meeting.
A special meeting was called by Mayor
R. s. Payne, at the city council last night,
to take action in the matter of taking steps
to provide against the infection of our city
by smallpox.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Payne, who called upon DR.. O.
Deaderick, president of the board of health,
who stated that the board of health had held
meeting during the day, and they decided
that it had cecome necessary to take some
action in the matter of preventing spread
of smallpox in our midst. He suggested
the appointment by the city council OF
three reputable physicians, to be known as
an examining committee, to examine and
pronounce upon all suspected cases which
might be found in the city. He suggested
the names of Drs T. W. Shaw, M. M.
Alexander and J. p Park, as such examin-
ers
Col J. w. Gaut, of the board of health
made some remarks coinciding with the re-
marks of DIR. Deaderick, and, speaking for
the commercial interest of the city, he urg-
ed speed and decisive action in these pre-
cautionary measures.
After some further discussion, Alderman
Luttren moved to authorize the Mayor to
take tine matter in charge, and appoint the
examining physicians, ond adopt such
measures as are deemed necessary and ex-
pedient.
Alderman Michaels, chairman of the
market and building committee, made 9
statement of several sites which can be had
for pest house or hospital, on reasonable
terms.
The question of a possible quarantine in
the future was suggested and discussed, bu
action was postponed until some official sug
gestion by the board of health, If they hav,
any to offer.
A second case of smallpox was pro
nounced upon yesterday, in the case of /.
colored woman, named Mary Cavill, wht
came from Chattanooga last Thursday, ant
| was taken sick Friday. She is on Cumber-
berland street, East Knoxville, near th,
! junction of Main. DIR. Hudgings, cit,
physician, has taken charge of the case.

NEW RAILROAD ENTERPRISE.
The Proposed Connection Between Sweet
ter and the Tellico Plains.

The Proposed Connection Between Sweet
ter and the Tellico Plains.
ATHENS, TENN, Nov. 10, 1882.
Mr.. EDITOR: You have heard of the pro-
posed railroad from Sweetwater to Tellico
Plains, in Monroe County. Well, it does
not promise to be mere paper project,
with lines and figures to be considered for
a day and then dropped, but real live and
feasible plan. The charter has been ap-
piled for by such men as DR.. r. F. Scruggs,
Jno. NJ Jones, Robert Pritchard, Tom E.
H. McCroskey, Worth Stickley, Col. W. A.
Hoskins and others of like energy and SUBJ
stance. While at jacksonville day or
two ago, discovered deep interest was
working in the matter, and everybody talk
ing railroad. When you get the people
enthused, something practicable may be ex-
pected. A meeting has been called and
steps will be taken to at once inaugurate
active operation. I know all the incorpor-
ators personally, and as they are all fully
identified with the people, through whose
county the road must run, / am satisfied no
delay will be unprecedented with
the building or the me
can not begin to enumerate
the advantages to follow in the wake of this
enterprise. Railroads have been built before
and every one is too familiar with their value
not to understand it. The survey ed line traver
ses q section unexcellAd in its resources, and
the southern termini will, in few years, be one
of the most important manufacturing points
in the South, tapping almost the North Gar
DINA State line. The business of the road
will, from the start, justify all actual ex
pense and as will naturally follow, new
counties will be opened up to the outside
world. We may expect to see the Sweet
water and Tellico Plains road at once take
place as the most desirable property. 1t
would require time and space too much to
dwell upon the future of Monroe County,
with such road running from one side to
the other, but any thinking individual
knows that the greatest wealth of the coun-
ty has never yet been touched, and that q
railroad viii prove the great developer Be
assured that the people are alive on the
subject, and do not doubt the county will
take large stock in the road

Fine Dolls.

ALI the little girls in Knoxville who have
saved pennies enough to buy new doll,
should go to Taylor & Co.'s to make the Sc
lection. The stock of Dolls which Mr..
Taylor has secured for the coming holiday
season, is thought to be far the finest ever
brought to town. Dainty little Dolls, in
pleasing variety of style, stand side by side
with the towering and beautiful Wax Lady,
three feet in stature. The Jointed Dolls,
either movable or fxable, are truly fine, es-
pecially the latter; the arms, limbs and
head of which are easily fixed in any posi-
ton, and some beautiful effects are pro-
duced
Mr.. Taylor has also a large supply of
Dressed Dolls, that represent the different
classes of women to perfection. Mammas
and everybody interested should call there
to purchase.

Oysters at Hudiburg's
Amateur Debating Club

This society met on Monday night last,
pursuant to adjournment. An essay was
read by Alex o. Roehl, upon the subject of
1.-THE duties about to devolve upon the ris-
ing generation" This was followed by the
debate, subject being as follows: RE
solved, That the United States should
have free trade" The affirmative was
ably defended by James Morrison and
James Hinshaw; the negative by VIM. B.
Staley, jr., and E. A. Montgomery. Mr.
Morrison and Mr.. Hinshaw presented their
side of the case in as able and as eloquent
manner as possible, yet to little effect, for
when Staley and Montgomery came along
with their eloquent and logical arguments,
they carried the president and the house
with them, completely burying the afirma-
tive speakers.
Mr.. Morrison isan old ''Chi Delta" gaining
the above question for the affirmative, in
public debate at the opera house, some years
since So much the moreshonor to Staley
and Montgomery. We were then favored
with two declamations, one by c. Blanken-
ship, the other by MIR. w. L. Bean. Both
were excellent.
Our question for next meeting is, Resolv-
ed, That the sale of ardent sp rits in the
United States should be prohibited"
Some Of our best speakers are to debate
this question next Monday night Ar
fragments are being made for public de-
bate to be had about Christmas. r.

callender's Colored minstrels.

"a tip top, first class show" was the ex-
preston of perhaps every one who came
from the opera house last night, after wit
Messing Callender's celebrated colored min
strels in one of their inimitable renditions.
If not expressed verbally, it could be plain
ly read upon the countenance of every one.
It was the opening night of their first en-
gagement in Knoxville, and it was to an
immense business. The house was
filed with one of the largest
audiences of the season, and we
have never seen more thoroughly satisfied
or more highly pleased audience, if we
are to judge from the demonstrations.
There was almost one continuous rear of
applause and laughter from tbs rising to the
falling of the curtain.
And it was in reality show that
is calculated to excite genuine mer-
riment. The company consists of
original colored men throughout,
except the manager, Mr.. Howard Spear,
and director, Mr.. John Rice, and all are adj
mirably adapted to their parts.
The first part introduced some fine vocal
isms, especially by Edmund johnson, the
splendid interlocutor, viii Walker

In the getting off piece Big-mouthed Tom
Mcintosh scored wonderful hit in his

whole team, and proved it through the en-
tire performance. Billy Green is

hearty applause showered upon

merit, and in fact there was not limp one
in the whole troupe.
The scenes were all novel, unique and
startling, and truly illustrative of Southern
life among the colored folks, in some
localities. It was, in fine, by all odds, the
best show for genuine fun and amusement
that has ever been along this way.
marked feature about the performance is
that there is nothing bordering upon
vulgarity or profanity, but everything
is chaste, and in good taste, SO that
it may be seen by the most cultured and re-
fined, without blush. The management
are to be congratulated upon the excellence
of their show, in all its departments.
Tonight, another performance will be
given. with change of programme, and
those who would enjoy two or three hours
of solid amusement should not fail to Sc
cure an attendance.
