Almost any day as many as twenty erthir

cotton made in Crawford, county, will b<
sold at Knoxville.

onr humble thanks.

time last Friday evening at the borne of Mr.

the fairot Knoxville assembled at the Blas¬

Mfsiakc Somewhere*)
Macon Telegraph.:; “Mr. Bull Horno-was
in from Craw ford'county ; yesterday and
brought the news-of an actual derth from
hydrophobia. On- Thursday of hist week
a negro man.-iwuned George Iluekahy,, liv¬
ing ii* Crawford, was bitten by a madstSg.
In a few hours be was seised, with convul¬
sions, and on. Friday be died, .jus* as-the
dog died- tbo day before.”
There is some mistake about this. Tin
negro was bitten more than a month before
ho died.;.’

3*A CITIZEN...
•j
The people bt-Knoxvillc must not expert
the Atlanta-and Florida railrord per i-e to
be sf-mncli be»«St,t» Hie place..- A:-thou¬
sand )niiirbada.'-wonlil.<wevf r build Vip any
town unless, along with those roads there
were industry, frugality and enterprise.
The leading political issue of the day is
tariff reform^ Tlhis-. iasao- will taxe care
for itself and Will come out on the side of
right; ; bnttbera are other-questions which
are of more momentous- concern to the
people of Knoxville and'Crawford county,
and it should not be presumed that this Is
i time that justifies idleness..
In which Idealities does real estate sell
at goof prices?' It invariably does where
tho schools and chucetosatre in a flourish
condition, What for a showing can
Knoxville make on this line? Let every
citizen of the-town put this question to
himself;. for it is naif only, worthy of con¬
sideration, but it i*-.onei in wbiceb all
should feel an interest, and one that hears
directly and forcibly., tinyn. every one's
iutcrosts..
No lit’le town can afford div)skm.ton. ai<y
public issue wbic relates to the advance¬
ment of the interests of her citizens-. Hence
Knoxville’s people, should be united on
any anti all measures which are agi
fated with pnre motives, and are calcu
Ated, if supported, to result in good to
them. This is no: time tor croaking,
shrugging and pulling back,-contrary to
reason and all things else-- that are in
keeping with common noose.
The credit system has been master ol
this county .as long as reason and the ad¬
vantages ot our favorable climate and lo¬
cation ought to tolerate it. Our fanners
have given mortgages and paid exorbitant
time prices until reason and justice to
themstlves and families certainly demand
a change. We are not at all disposed to
dictate in this matter, but it seems to be
admissible to suggest in this-connei.tion a
different and entirely better system. Let
the farmers of Crawford county make their
farms self sustaining ), and thero is not the
least doubt that there will, as. an inevitable
result, be better times. -

ample copy sent, free, but we cannot be
