Blount County's Interest.

The desire of the TIMES has been
to keep the trade of BlOunt County
at home.
After the fire in Maryville, what
business was left, except that of j.
M. Greer & Co. and Coming & Jones,
refused to patronize us, which COM
PEELED us to look to Knoxville for
material aid. Up to June, 1885, we
had sought neither advertising nor
Job work at that point. But we
were left unsupported by Mary
vile merchants; consequently, we
sought help elsewhere. Had we
not done this, the TIMES must have
died while young.
In securing advertising for bust.
ness houses in Knoxville, an i'm.
mense trade was turned to that
point and thousands of dollars left
BlOunt County in search of bar.
gains thus advertised.
Last spring a different policy was
adopted by most of the business
men, in the way of advertising
Since that time we have not sOliC
tied advertising that would come
in competition with the business
here. We have filed out some con
tracts that were made before thi
change.
What We desire now to say to tn,
business men of Maryville and tn
| cOuntv ia that Won give uS a libpra
advertising and Job work patron
age, and the TIMES will not receiv
advertising from abroad that vii
compete with you. 1t is our desir
to build up Blount County, but il
so doing the business men mus
help us, as "no man goeth a wal
fare at his own expense.
With two or three exceptions, tn
professional men have refused t
give us their cards to assist us /
the very work they want us OF do

A Good Work,

Rev. John Kittrell, of Monroe Co.,
has been laboring in Maryville for
several days. The gentleman was
hOmeward bound from Kentucky,
where he has been conducting revi-
val services for some time. The
series of meetings began in the
Friends Church last Thursday
morning and continued morning
and night during the remainder of
the week. Mr.. Kittrell is a very
earnest speaker and apparently
carries with him the supreme de-
sire of doing good to his fellow man.
He breaches an excellent sermon,
as those will testify who have heard
him. On Sunday night New Prov
idence Church was literally packed
to hear the gentleman.

WHAT I SAW AT ANDY HARPERS.

You look surprised, convinced you'd be,
Just step within and y0n will see
That all say is true, and more
May be said of this, the model store.
While listening to the praises loud,
l edged my way in with the crowd,
And once inside took view
And found that all he said was true.
Carloads of bargains in all styles,
Arranged on tables in great piles;
While statesmen did their level best
To serve the crowd that on them pressed.
All kinds of Clothing, great and small,
Overcoats for winter, spring and fall;
Red flannel shirts and long slim pants,
And sealskin caps for the young gallants.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special to the TIxEs.] 49,

Special to the T1MEs.]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13, 1886.
Some members of the Forty Ninth
Congress are already in Washing
ton, others are on the way, in a few
days all will have arrived, and the
legislative department of the Gov
ernment will resume work for q
session that will last just three
months. There are indications that
the session will open industriously.
The Chairman of the House Com
mittee on Appropriation, Mr.. Ran
dali, proposes to come soon and get
things in readiness for the meeting
of his committee, which Is to take
place, if a quorum can be brought
together on the 22nd. This is in
order to have q bill ready to be re-
ported at the opening of the session.
Hon. Mr.. Hewitt says he is anx-
iOus to remain in Congress as long
as possible. He would have pre-
ferred to carry out his work here,
but the Mayoralty was forced upon
him. He wants to push the Admin
istrative Tariff bill to passage be-
fore he resigns, and had hoped to
remain in his seat after he had Ia
ken the oath of Office as Mayor, but
by the Legislature of New York, q
man cannot hold a Federal and a
municipal Office at the same time
The so called police scandal Of
Washington has attracted c0nsid-
cradle attention, and the President
has taken hold of the matter. 1t is
all about an alleged scheme of the
city police to collect damaging
facts about the private lives o.
Congressman, with a view to fore
ing them to vote for appropriations
for the District of Columbia. If the
story is not exaggerated, 1t affords
insight into the decentralization O
public affairs which has long exist
ed in Washington.
The Presidents Boston trip seems
to have done him good. He ha.
been smiling and jovial ever since
and unusally graci0ns to his Eas
Room callers. His country home
has a new name-Oak View. 1t ha
been variOusly named by other pe0
pie, but this time it is said to hav'
been christened by the owner him
self. Oak trees surround the house
and it commands a picturesqu
view in all directions.

Getting Monotonous.

Mr.. EDITOR.
l want to commend your editorial
In the last number of the TIMES, in
regard to the next Congressman.
Knoxville has had the member
term after term, until 1t appears to
be regarded that they have q patent
pm the Office. Why Is it that Blount,
Hevier, Loudon, Jefferson, Roane,
Anderson, or some other county
cannot afford the Representative
Just as we'll as Knox? The time has
now come for the other counties to
assert their rights. Knoxville has
had the member continuously over
forty years. Now, it appears that
E&Ae thing Is monOtonOus, and a
|ttange would give us little reliet
NOW, let the TIMES keep it before
Me people, and let some of the out
fde counties heve the honor once
INA while.

Tunnsll W. slount County.

It will be remembered by our
readers that j. 9. Tunnel was ar
rested, several months ago, for the
unlawful selling liquor. He was
in one or two cases convicted.
A short time afterWard Mr.. Tun-
nell sued the county for the refund
ing Of $500 taxes. The case had a
hearing before So. Moore, which
Justice gave decision for the coun-
ty. 1t was then taken before Sta
ley. Here it was also decided in
favor of the County. Not to be out
done, Mr.. Tunnel took the case to
the Supreme Court. Yesterday,
the news reached us that he had
again been defeated, the Supreme
Court sustaining the two former
Courts.

CENTENNIAL SERVICES
OF lEusebla Presbyterian Church.
A Graphic History Of the Church
by VIII A. McTeer.
concluded. |

[COncludedl
There is every indication that
this section of country was not oc-
cupied as homes by the Indians,
but held as a great hunting ground.
There were some towns in Tucka-
leechee, and one on Little River,
below the gap of the mountain.
There was a great war-path com.
ing down from Virginia, crossing
French Broad near Buckingham's
island, up Boyd's creek to its
source, and falling upon the head
waters of Ellejoy, descended its
valley to Little River, crossing,
went then to the present town of
Maryville and on to the mouth of
TellicO, and on down to Chickamau-
ga. This describes the route of
most of the present main road. Ac-
cordingly, about this place, the
war-path turned south of the main
road, descended the valley of Ellie
Joy to Little River and crossed the
river about the mouth of Ellejoy.
Since preparing this address, I
have made further inquiry and
have become thoroughly satisfied
that this warpath passed down the
branch, about quarter of a mile
from here, by where Mr.. Hugh G.
Jeffries now lives, down the hollow
to Ellejoy Creek, crossing it; then
down the valley to short distance
below the mouth of Ellejoy, then
crossing Little River, on to Mary
vile. Persons acquainted with the
grounds will agree with me that
q civil engineer could not locate q
route more level or direct than this
one. @s91 -.-A.ss
In 1776, q body Of soldiers passed
through almost on the line of the
warpath. The soldiers were under
the command Of Col. Christian.
Rev. Charles Cummings, a Presby.
} terian minister, accompanied this
expedition as chaplain. He was
the first Christian minister that ev-
er preached in Tennessee. The re-
: port of the country carried back by
these soldiers brought large mum.
bers of immigrants, all along
through this section.
There was another expedition
under Col. Sewer afterwards Gov.
ernOr) in 1882, camping at McTeer's
, Fort, now Hafley's mill, on Ellejoy
Creek-the English of which is Owl
; Creek. 1t was not until 1855 that
, McTeer's Fort was built and it ap-
pears to have been about the first
: fort south of the French Broad. So
it was not long after the erection Of
! a castle of defense until there was

iished In the wilderness.
