Mr. Wiliie Pierce,, whs,has been at this place some months, has,-g-mei to Oak Grove tb open, a school. We .wish him much success. Mr. J. L. Motes, from Vann's Mill, Bihb county, was in town a few .days ago talk¬ ing about starting the jewelry business. Several different parlies .are speaking of building large carriage shops at this place. -The business would pay handsomely. * Miss Willie Richardson of Ceres is visiting relatives in this place. Mr. Blasingame, onr Knoxville drug¬ gist, visited the Central City last week on business. Almost any day as many as twenty erthir ty,bales of cotton go tbrongh this place on their way to iMacon. In our opinion the the day is*not far distant when, most of tin cotton made in Crawford, county, will b< sold at Knoxville. Quite,a party cf pretty girls came toout office on last Friday thinking to see the pi ess in operation. Nothing-gives the wea¬ ry printer more pleasure tban.sueb visits as these. . In another column can be seen the pro¬ fessional card of Mr.O.P. Wright- This gen¬ tleman is, we think, quite capable and wc hope the public will give him all the pat¬ ronage be deserves. . Bead the advertisement of ’‘Money to Lojm“ . which appears elsewhere. Col Blasingame represents one of the best and cheapest companies operating, in this state, and the bnsinciss s the profits on the loans are made by Georgians. Elsewhere will be seen the law aicd o Mr. W.P. Blasingame. .He is a young man of much business, sagacity! and merits patronage. , . There are several small buildings going up about town-. There areno vacant hous¬ es, and the public need not expect to see any One of Captain .James’, fine horses laid down the other night and died - - The horse was qncof four which cost a,thousand dol¬ lar?.

These are, public spirited gentlemen and deserve more than onr humble thanks. Knoxville will have a millinery store before many days. . The young people spent a very, pleasant time last Friday evening at the borne of Mr. J. W. Jack in siDgiug some sn.cred music and in' other ways- , The handsome advertisement of Mr. F II. Wright, which can be seen otaewhert is a .compliment to Tut! Journal and to to his dusiness He is constantly replen¬ ishing and improving his stock of goods,.and very naturally adopts the best, method.for increasing his trade, Fanners are busy making preparations for another crop. Let each one resolvo io raise,plenty of pi ovision crops, and if pos¬ sible, make the cotton crop clear. Hurrah for Knoxville! , The negro, George nuckaby, who was bitten by a mad dog some weeks ago is dead. It is said he died a rnpst horrihio, death. The editor in company with several oth¬ er gentlemen, had au opportunity on last last Sunday- of enjoying the hospitality of Mr. John Stroud and his estimable lady. It is unnecessary to state that wo were tinted right royally, Captain James has seventy odd convicts m no as many free l ib->rers breaking dirt or & F near town.

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.;.’ ‘ Too Thick Cor Rulleto Some days ago Alec Davis, colored, ivent to Amos Gibson’s bouse to settle a fuss. When the dark countenance of Amos was seen in the doorway Alec pull¬ ed a pistol and’ banged' away.

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. - Free Copies.
