The Athens Post September 24, 1869

The Knoxville Whig

Brownlow has gone from the Whig--Pearue has retired from the editorial charge, and there is a new hand at the bellows. But as to who he is, where he hails from, and what particular road he proposes to travel, are matters about which we are not advised at this time. His salutatory reads that he might be one of the second adventists, whose peculiar mission is to wipe out old fogyism, abjure the past, ignore the light of other days, and set up a new party and erect a new altar in the howling waste of politics, around which Young Americans may gather and worship. If the brother will send us his Daily we shall be pleased to place the Whig on our exchange list, and take further notice of the paper after a better acquaintance.
