Oct. 9th, 1888. J. W. Jack, Sec
Useless Shooting;.
There has been a good deal of complaint
lately about the frequent shooting of fire¬
arms at night in the most public parts of
the town. The parties think that shpoting
does no harm, and tnat they are free to
do as they please on the public highways,
but if we mistake not,, there is a state law
against this kind of thing.
Sick or nervous people are made to
suffer by the unexpecied discharge of a gnu
or pistol near at hand, and horses which
are being driven—or thosa.which are hitch¬
ed, for that matter—may become scared
and hurt themselves or doother damage.
That which does no good does harm, boys.

Knoxville lmprovis^.
The idea that Knoxville would never be
anything but a little one-horse tot^n, and
that the most of the trade of the,farmers
will continue to go out of the county, is
dying out. There is good causey for this
idea being abandpned.
Last spriDg thpre were only two stores
In Knoxville, an$ the stocks of berth stores
acldod together would not have amounted
to $4,500. Noyr there are five stqres well
.
stocked, and two other large ones,will be
stocked next week, while there are still
others being built.
In a few days the merchants will have
fseilities for conducting au annual trade
amounting to almost a quarter of a million.
Besides, we have now without doubt about
as good cotton market as the country can
afford. There is every reason to believe,
also, that three or four strong firms not
included in the foregoing, will open large
grocery stores during the winter.
The growth of our trade fecilities has
been brought about through the unceasing
efforts of a few enterprising spirits,,.who
have had mauy obstacles to overcome. But
at last our town can compete successfully
with the best markets for the trade which
has beer, hunting a market. Next year it
will be seen that this great territory, pop¬
ulated with 15,000 people, have a market
of their own equal to the best in any in¬
land town. Property is still low, and our
people have not yet taken up with the
doc m'.cLa in disposing of real estate.,
