CHATTANOOGA, TENN, April 15.
Two frightful accidents occurred on
the Western and Atlantic railroad,
near Big Shanty, this morning, about
2 o'clock, in fifteen minutes time.
The passenger train which left this

rate of forty miles an hour, went
through trestle, which had been I'M
dermined by the torrent of rain which
fell the night previous. The freight
train met with u similar accident five
miles from the above place. Engin-
eer st. Clair MeDonold, of the freight
train, and his fireman, Wm. McCul-
Tough, were crushed to death under
fifteen cars which followed the engine

ger train, his fireman, Marion Burke

ter, were seriously injured. To add
to the scene of horror, the mail car
baggage car and two coaches were
burned, and twenty passengers mar
ruwly escaped being burned to death
One, whose name cannot be learned
was fatally. injured. The scene was
one of Undesirable terror. TIL,

DEAR SIR:
Do you want any FERTILIZER for Oats, Corn
and Potatocs7 Our COMPOUND" has been thor
oughly tested on these crops with the most salts
factory results. Mr.. J. Massengill one of the
best farmers in Sullivan County, used on oats
100 lbs, to the acrc-the yield was IS bushels t.
the acre lie beat US, as we got only As bushels
to the acre, but our land was very poor. Wotried
il OH corn last year on thin highland. We new
or saw such rank growth OF corn on highland.
II we could have gotten two more rains on II be-
fore the drouth set in, the yield would have
been enormous--as it was, We made 40 bushels
to the acre
ASH PoTAToE FERTILIZER 1T can't be excel
ed. Take good clover land strew it along the
potatoe furrow at the rate Of 200 or 800 lbs to the
acre, Drop the sets, aid cover up Ill together,
and you viii have larger and smoother potatoes
than you ever had before.
GRASS AND CLOVER will grow after it with a
luxuriance equal to land MANFRED with stable
manure. Unlike most of the Fertilizer, Ii can
not be washed out of the soil by rains any more
than ashes can be washed out. Hence it is as
permanent in its effects as it is possible for any
manure to be.
In order to place 1t in the reach OF all, we pro-
pose to sell it at the extremely low price OF 81 rs
per sack Of 300 lbs, or $3.50 per ton at Bristol,
all charges paid Terms Cash on delivery or in
30 days

On Monday April 14th at O'Clock
p. m. the torch was applied to the new

1--WE are here to witness and partici-
pate in the ceremony of lighting the
fire which puts in operction the pio-
neer furnace of the Cranberry Iron &
Coal Co, an important event in the
progress of the company, and the de-
velopment of its property. All OF us
are more or less familiar with the OBJ
stacles, difficulties and trials that have
been surmounted in arriving thus far
in our progress.
The completion of the Railroad and
successful development of the mines
have tasked the energy OF all concerned
Many of less faith would have fallen
by the way, but with a devotedness OF
purpose on the part of all, these results
have been achieved, and the furnace
stands to-day a monument to their in.
domitable courage and perseverance
May the fire thus kindled serve as a
beacon to light the way to other and
grander achievements, which will add
to the prosperity of the "Old North
State" and inure to the greatness Of oul
whole country. In view of these re.
suits of the eompany's enterprise, we
feel at liberty to ask in the presence o.
one of North Cardinals distinguishes

continue the mantle protection over
her varied industries, to the end thai
her mountions, Astounding with mex
haustable mineral wealth will responC
to the effort of the miner, and hel

bandmen the fruits of his toil-anc
now as the smoke ascends in
ringlets to the skies, we kindly invok,

wishes of all"

MEssEs EDITORS Having seen a

forbear expressing my delight on see
ing your names connected with an en-
terprise, whose great object will be to
accomplish good in behalf of the pco-
pie. A paper 50 ably edited will ever
be great terror to frauds and dishon-
est candidates. East Tennessee needs
more such journals to enlighten the
voters and to inteiligently discuss the
political issues that are to their inter
est to know and understand.
You have many friends down here
not withstanding, C@sor Houk, used
to crack his political whip over the
people. Monroe is always the friend
of an honest man.
If you will continue to defend the
rights and interests of your readers
through the press, as nobly as you
have done upon the stump, you can
not fail to secure the applause of al
who have the best interest of your
country at heart. With many wish
es for your success and the final tri
umph of democracy, will close by
saying that desire to walk by tn,

every house paid corpse. But the
