KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. II, 1888.
Knoxville Chamber of Commerce re-
Gently called a river improvement con,
vention to meet in this city Tuesday the
22d day of January, 1889, and the sec
rotary was instructed to send a copy of the
proceedings 10 the clerks of the different
county courts, requesting them to have
the court at the January term TO appoint
delegates to attend it. 1t is earnestly
hoped they will not overlook this mat
ter.
or course you understand the object of
such a convention. Lest you do not, l
will say it is to take prompt steps toward
petitioning congress for an appropriation
to improve the navigation of the Ten.
nessee river, now that the canal around
the Mussel Shoals is nearing completion,
which will give us an outlet to the Mis-
sissippi river and. from thence to deep
water.
We hope your county will not fail to
send a large delegation to the convention,
and that you will give the matter q big
send off, 1t is a grand movement and
should be appreciated by all East Ten
nesseeans. G, w. CHARLTON.

SECURE A HOME IN THE LAND Of fl0HRs
DINSMORE!

One of the growing towns OF she
South, is situated on both sides ut
savan alb, Florida & Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is high, dly
aud level, and a successful hGrti,
cultural and truck-growing section
of the State. Dinsmore can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour and a half drive over an excel
lent plank and shell road.
Dinsmore is not one of the isola-
ted spots that is only laid out Oh
paper, but a thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and laborer, to fathers
and wives who are vigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
of their children, to those who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
The land can be obtained at re-
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present low
figures a poor man can make regu-
Lar payments on valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense or money act
ually thrown away. 1t is an in
veStment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
many times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, $65, $50, $35. Sec
ond choice, $25 S1S. Third choice
s15. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, SIS. 1t must be remember
ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adj cent to
Dinsmore, containing from five to
sixteen acres each, which we offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at SIS acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years.
The chain of title will be short
and strong. 1t is from the State of
Florida to the Railroad and from
the Railroad to you.
o Truck farming around Dlnsmore
would be at the door of two Cf the
greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy lot i'll
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think of it. There are
eight passenger trains per day ali i
the round trip will only cost twen-
ty-five cents. Trout creek, large
stream passes right through the
vicinity, thus affording pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance Of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
slip you. 1t is the very best chauce
you will have TO secure a good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in Dinsmore are
enjoying good trade and the
town is rapidly growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, and laborers who
desire work can get from dollar
and half to two dollars per day.

Choosing a Husband.

Husbands are not made to order
they just grow. To get a good one
you have to know him when you see
him. He may not look like the man
your fancy painted, yet you will recog-
nize in him the qualities that 90 to
make up the reliable, enterprising
amiable man. AS a rule women are
not possessed of acute business minds,
and are not as observant as they
might be. One after another they
will fall into the same open trap, Just
as though they were blindfo. .ded or
were impelled by some uncontrol-
able force. The majority OF them
seems to think they must mar
ry, and all that is necessary
is to find man that is good-looking
or rich. The average girl first takes
fancy to a pretty man, and thinks
and dreams of his lovely hair, charm
ing eyes, elegant dress, divine mus
tache and dove-like voice. She de-
clares that he is too sweet fol any,
thing. This fever passes off in time,
but too often leaves a perverted taste.
A dandy figure, swell manner and
clattering tongue are apt to even out
weigh a good heart, industrious habits
and moral worth. Even after mar
riage visions OF the early ideal rise UP
to disturb the serenity and TRANQUILITY
OF the domestic scene. Better such
an ideal had never been formed

name given to an advanced form OF catarrh

end in ozoena, but it most frequently oc.

the discharge taks place through the nos.
trils or through the throat, and is generally
OF a yellowish or greenish-yellow color,
frequently tinged with blood, and almost
always attended by an offensive smell. In
the language of DR.. Wood, of Philadelphia,
"The disease is one of the most obdurate
and disagreeable which the physician has
to encounter. In bad cases the breath OF
the patient becomes SO revolving as to iso-
late him from society, and render him an
object of distrust even to HIMSELF
In someinstances pieces of bone become
separated and slough off, leaving deep, un-
healthy ulcers, which secrete bloody mat
ter, and are extremely difficult to heal.
After ozoena has continued some time the
sense of smell becomes impaired and often

sequences and results from its extension

ear.
Pains in the head and over the frontal
sinuses, impairing memory, and even in

THE WRECKED BOAT.
All Freight and Baggage LyinK
Below Water.

Below water.
There was considerable excitement
in the city yesterday morning when
the news OF the wreck Of the Queen
OF the Pacific was made public, and the
steamship office was beseiged by a
number of persons who, having friends
or relations on board, were naturally
anxious as to their safety. When
lit became certain that no one
was drowned, a feeling Of relief
became apparent, though callers, anx-
ious to be "quite sure" dropped in at
intervals throughout the day. As near
as can be learned there were between
thirty or forty passengers on board for
Los Angeles though their names could
not be learned as the manifests
and lists are never received
here, until the arrival of the
vessel in question. The following is
a copy Of a telegram received
at Messrs. Goodall's Offices at late
hour yesterday afternoon;
Queen of the Pacific sprung a leak
and is lying at the bottom of the
wharf at Port Hartford. Passengers
all safely landed. Will forward them
by the Santa Rosa leaving San Fran
cisco this evening. Advertise her as
sailing in place Of Queen" one day
behind Queens" time.
GooDALL, PERKINS Il Co.
It was ascertained by inquiries
about town that Messrs. Hawley, the
hardware merchants of this city, had
on board the boat four hay presses
valued at 81 800, on which there is no
insurance. Messrs. German and
other merchants were also expecting
goods by her, and she is said to have
been laden with aquantiiy OF groceries,
rice, nails, and canned goods for this
| port.
Judging by the kilograms received
in this city by persons who had
friends on the wrecked boat the
exodus from the sinking ship must
have been a very hurried one, as
nothing appears to have been saved
One lady telegraphed to her husband
''Lost everything in the wreck-have
not even got hat" and some of the
others received were couched in a
similar strain.
The Queen Of the Pacific was one
Of the finest boats in the Coast ser
vice. She was built by Cramp &
Sons OF Philadelphia, and was an ilon
ship of 355 feet in length, and fitted
with an iron propeller. She had a
capacity Of 1900 tons and drew II feet
Of water. She was said TO be one OF
the best constructed boats on the Pa
cific and was handsomely appointed.
Her captain, Mr.. Alexander, is well
known to all old Californians.
