Mr.. r. p. GREEN of Fennimore, whose
sons death was recorded in the HERALD
some time ago, writes to say that he is
not able to answer all letters of inquiry
and will do SO through these columns
He says: Milton, my Oldest son came
home from Iowa about two months and
half ago very sick with typhoid fever.
He was very low but has partially re-
covered Six weeks ago took the same
fever and have been very sick but am
now gaining nicely. About the same
time my daughter Nettie took the fever
and is very low with little hope of re-
covely. Burrell my little boy Is quite
sick but not with typhoid fever, so the
Doctors say. The rest of the family
have been well.

WOULDN'T it be possible for the city
to open its corporation heart ard purse
wide enough to allow of the purchase of
eight or ten lamps to be put up in the
center of the city. The cost of main
tanning the same would be very little
while the benefit would be incompatible.
To stumble around after dark in the
center ofasupposed live town, not know
ing whittier one is on the sidewalk or
off, is not one of the most pleasant
things in the world and gives strangers
decidedly bad impression of the town.

Meadville (Pa. Republican: During the
past few months we have published several
very interesting letters from East Tennessee,
notably one few das ago giving valuable
information upon various points of interest,
which lettar is republished in ,he Knoxville
Daily FRoNIoLE of Oc ober Il, and of
which that paper takes occasion to say ed
itorially
We call attention to the letter of Col G.
W. Charlton to the Meadville (Pa. Repub-
hcau, i'll answer to some inquiries about
East Tennessee. Mr.. Charlton informs us
that he is ill receipt by one mail (the 13th)
of number of letters from different sec
tions of Pennsylvania AMI also from Illinois,
called forth by the letter in question, ali
the parties deeply interested in East Ten
nesSee, some of them wanting farming
land, some mineral lands and some TIM
bered lands. He further says that he is
much indebted to the Meadville Republican,
not only in publishing his letters concern
ing East Tennessee, but in generously in
viting him to do SO through private
letter
Evidently our good friend Charlton will
find his hands full to look after all the letter
crop springing from the seed he has sown
through the Republican. We trust, how
ever, that he will remember our columns are
open to him and he can reach the inquiries
through them The fact that the informa-
ton he furnishes is thoroughly reliable
makes his letters doubly interesting.

Anniversary of the Landing of
VIM Penn


PHILADELPHIA, PA, October "a
No more fitting weather could have
been vouchsafed for the landing day
than that which prevailed this morn
ing. The air was clear and crisp
and the sun shone brightly. At no
time during the event of centennial
period was any evsnt so thoroughly
and heartily celebrated by the pub
lie, which filled the streets, river
front, windows and roofs of houses
fronting or overlooking the Dela~
ware, and all sorts of gaily decora
ted crafts were on the river. Shortly
after the tug boat steamer Argus
and other vessels, to the number Of
about $50, were formed in line IL
the vicinity of League Island, a
United States naval station, five
miles south Of the city proper, and
followed in wake of the Melcanee,
a Danish bark, fitted up to lepre-
sent the original vessel on which
Penn came over As she passed
north, the Atlantic squadron an
chored below the point chosen the
persons. She was saluted by the
Tennessees s guns, and returned the
salute The wharf where the lande
ing took place was at Dock street,
said to be just above the point where
the original landing was effected
At half past 10 o'clock Penn stepped
over the side of the Welcome, and
as he did SO the scene was interest
ing beyond description. The boat
bells were rang, the steam whistles
on the river and land blown, guns
fired and the multitude cheered. On
the landing wharf were assembled
fifty or eighty persons dressed to
represent Swedes, Dutch, Indians
and others who congregated to re-
ceive William Penn, and from these
Mack, the founder, received heart,
welcome. Edward G. Knight, pres
ident of the Blcentennial Association,
Thos NJ Thompson, chief marshal
If the Days Trades Display, and
General Manager Colesbury and the
members of the executive committee
formally welcomed Penn and his
companions upon their landing, and
q procession was then formed, head
ed by Penn and Mr.. Knight, and
composed of gaudily uniformed
British officers from the Welcome,
and the Swe des, Dutch and Indians
who formed the colony were brought
hither by Penn and the members OF
the executive committee of the asso-
ciation that devised and superintend-
ed the demonstration, the whole
making wonderfully novel specta>
Gle
After the welcome at Blue Anchor,
onSecond and Deck streets, took place
the grand landing day demonstration
folio ed, and was one of the finest
affairs of it's kind ever witnessed here.
The line of parade was formed on
Broad street, south of Chestnut, from
10 a. III. until shortly after l1:30,
when the procession moved. The
street, sidewalks, windows, door
ways and roofs of houses, of which
were crowded every where, was the
same brilliant scene Of flags, bunting,
pictures of Penn, unique decora
tlons in flowers. evergreens and
canvass and above all unbroken
lines of people.
