street at a high rate of speed
with Mrs. Blake still in the carriage,
turned down Sccond and Cherry streets
and again turned back up First street. As
they neared the corner of First and Main
streets Andy Darby ran out in the ccuter

forward, grasping the line near the head
of the OIL horse. His hand slipped some
what and he was thrown direct

vented a serious accident TO Mrs. Blake.

asking for an extension OF two years
time from the Goth day of August 1890
in which to complete that portion Of
the road from Erwin to North Carroll
ma line, and agreeing to complete the
road from Johnson City to Erwin by
the 3lst day OF June next, and says
it is one OF the most important propo-
sitions ever submitted to the voters OF
Unicoi county.
By voting the extension Unicoi
county has every thing to gain and
can lose nothing. 1t will be all thu
better for Erwin and the county il the
road should stop at Erwin a while
There is not much doubt that thu
voters of Unicoi county will see tina
it is to their interest to vote for thu
extension, and thereby save paying

THE election at Memphis is over,
and was signal victory for the Dem
ocratic party. The Avalanche says ::
"The campaign, from first to last,
was the hottest which Memphis has
ever known. Fathers were arrayed
against their sons and brothers
against brothers. Every inch of the
ground has been contested and the
enemy has not hesitated to use every
weapon which seemed to promised
most effective results, regardless of
the consequences. The war was car
ried into families, the clubs, the COM
mercial organizations and into private
business concerns. Trade has suffered
and the energies of the city, in the
direction OF building up its commerce,
have been paralized.
"But like all things it. has had it's
end at last. Democracy is triumphant
and it's hammer will henceforth float
from the citidel. Under the shadow
of its broad folds there is room Tor
every man who desires its protection"

East Tennessee is a beautiful coun-

The reports sent out landing its great
mining wealth and healthy climate
have not been exaggerated in the
least. The mountains are rich with
coal and iron ore. The farming lands
lie chiefly on the plateau and by little
labor could be brought into excellent
condition for crops The winters are
very short and mild. In short, the
country is going to become one Of TIE
grandest places in the South
