We call attention to the advertise
ment OF the Knoxville Fire Insurance
Company, in another place in to-day's
paper. 1t is managed by the best bu-
siness, and represents the solidest fin

Of our readers need just the protection
such a company can give. AS the cold
weather approaches the danger from
fire increases. In this issue is recorded
two recent losses by fire, in our own

property regret now their negligence
and lack of economy. The Knoxville
