Tennessee,s Boom.

Cor. Memphis Avalanche
Congressman All Taylor, who has
Just returned from his district, reports
wonderful boom at Johnson City,
Bristol and other points in that I'M
mediate vicinity. The opening OF the
new railroad line from Charleston to
Cincinnati, he says, s doing wonder
ful things for the country. His re-
port of the immense sums OF money
and the numbers Of wealthy capital
lists and companies, which are making
investments in coal and iron lands,
town lots, sites for furnaces, and roll
ing mills, and the erection OF costly
establishments thereon sounds like a
fairy tale. The money which is pour
ing into Johns n City, Bristol and ad-
iacent points is counted by millions
Of dollars. Towns are springing up
like magic, hundreds OF men are at
work grading the streets where a few
weeks or months ago the virgin for
ests stood immense establishments
for the production Of iron are being
constructed and money ID thus being
spread broadcast among the good peo'
pie OF that section. An era Of pros.
perity seems to have fairly set in this
portion of East Tennessee Mr.. Tay-
lor, who was at home to look after his
fences, comes back confident that he
will be renominated and with the
strong Republican majority which
the district has heretofore had re
nomination is considered practically

George Leo Caprlvi CaprOra dc Men
teCuCuli.

Prince Otto Won Bismarck having
resigned his posts as Chancellor of the
German Empire and President of the
Prussian Ministry, General Caprivi
has been appointed by the Emperor
to those important Offices. George
Leo Capri i Caprora de Montecuculi
was born at Berlin, February oath,
1881, as the son of an eminent Berlin
jurist. He was educated at the Wer-
der Gymnasium. Having completed
his studies, he entered the Kaiser,
Frant Grenadiers in 1S49, as a second
lieutenant, and became first lieuten-
ant in the following year. Nine years
later be was made captain. He ad-
vanced very rapidly, becoming aide
to Gen. Stosch in 1861. In 1874 he
was transferred to the Gath regiment
OF the line as Captain of company
In 1866 he returned as major to Gen
eral Stosch and in 1870 he was made
Lieut-Colonel and Chief Of Staff oI
the 10th Army Corps. Two years la
ter he became chief Of department
colonel and chief OF one section and
general Of staff, and in 1877, major
general. He commanded an infantry
brigade at Stetlin and the guards brig
ade at Berlin, in 1881. In December
of the next year he became lieutenan
general in command OF the division il
garrison at Metz In March 1883 ht
succeeded General Stosch as chief o
the admiralty making many friends
in the Reichstag by displaying grea
quickness and ability. Caprivi, it il
said, has great knowledge o
parliamentary matters and \ shrewt
intellect. DIR. Meyer, the Freisinnig
candidate fer the Reichstag who wa
schoolmate OF General Caprivi, say
of him that he is free conservative
but at the same time willing to dea
fairly with views opposed to his own
and to discuss matters in way t.
which the opposition had hithert
been unaccustomed.

SPEAR, MITCHELL & Co.,
NC, March Goth, 1890.
To day we held a meeting near this
place in the interest Of the construc-
ton of the Three C's road running
up Toe River from Spruce Pine to
Cranberry. There were present forty
or fifty Of the leading citizens after
having had but two days notice.
Col. u. M. English was called to the
chair; T. D. Vance, Esq, was elected
Secretary; j. NJ. Street, as sistant
Secretary. I. D. Vance, Esq, in a
few well chosen words explained the
object Of the meeting-setting fourth
some OF the advantages to be derived
from a railroad. Several Others par
ticipated in the discussion after which
vote was taken to learn whether all
present were willing to give right OF
way should the road pass through
their lands. Every man voted in the
affirmative, and offering to do any
thing else necessary to encourage the
road to come this way. All were
stirred up and friendly, and enthu-
siastic feeling expressed.
A resolution was adopted that a
committee of eleven be appointed to
ascertain whether the people all along
the proposed route will be willing to
concede the right of way to the com
pany. The committee is as follows:
T. D. Vance, chairman d. F, Black
A. A. Wisemsn, j r. Green, Maj J. c.
Keener, Jno. G. Phipps, Dr. G. H
Brown, e. S. Eldridge, Col j. NJ
English, Ed. w. Young and David
Hughes. These gentleman are to &c
to work at once and report to the
chairman by April the list.
There is a natural road bed almost
the entire way from Spruce Pine tc
Cranberry, the wind of the rive
making beautiful grade. We have
heard it stated by men who have haC
experience in the construction oI
railroads that this route is at least {
half million dollars cheaper thar
any other, and we believe it to be b!
far the most feasible in every way
The soil Of this entire valley beiDl
OF the most fertile; the timber ol
every side Of the finest and in almos
inexhaustible, quantities numerou
ore banks, mines Of various kinds
rich in their hidden treasures, hu
still undeveloped it seems .Aat n
other section offers a more inviting
field for a railroad.

Tired feeling, dull headache, pains

all positive evidence of poisoned blood.

must be purified to avoid death. DIR.

Railroad Meeting.

Marion N C5 Free Lancet
MIR EDITOR There will be q big
railroad meeting at Plumtree Store on
the 25th inst all the leading men OF
Toe River township propose to meet
on that day lor the purpose OF inyit-
ing the Three C's railroad men to CON
duct and build their railroad up Tee
river through that rich and beautiful
valley via Cranberry to Johnson City /;
in fact it has been a mystery to me
why the engineers have never looked
out way up through our beautiful
valley in place OF going down the riv-
er which would cost 1T least $100O 900
more than by way Of Cranberry. am
satisfied they can find a much better
route up Toe river than any portion
of Mitchell county and besides after
the road is built it would pass through
the finest timber lands anywhere in
Western North Carolina. And am
satisfied that they can get the right
of way from every man from Spruce
Pine to Cranberry. l have talked
with a great many of the leading men
of our township, and have not seen
a man who said he would charge a
cent for the right Of way. In case
they do not want to go by way OF
Cranberry they can go through the
old Yellow Mountain Gap and swing
round the north side of the Roam Iron
Mountain and get a splendid grade
which would beat Buck Greek and
South Toe river two in the game.
Yours truly, &C.,
