As the Editor, printer and devil have all been one, and this being court week, the paper is not so full of news as it gen¬ erally is. The Editor has not been able to put the usual amount of work on this issue of the paper, on account of having to canvass for subscribers. When ynp go to Atlanta stop at -the Talmadge House, opposite custom house on north side. We find this one of the best places in the Gate City. If we had a dozen such agents as-Mr. A, M.

A Card. To my friends -in Crawford county: I feel that in iustice to yon I must- publicly announce the fact that I cannot open a store at Knoxville,as I thought of doing.
