Parson Brownlow at Home.
Invincible Parson Brownlow is once more at home among his own Lares and Penates, and from the following notice which appears in the Knoxville Bulletin, is evidently arranging household matters for the winter:
I am wanting five or six loads of Anderson county coal, and for it, delivered at my residence, on Cumberland street I will pay a liberal price in greenbacks—not in the shaving paper of Jeff. Davis bogus Confederacy, as it would take a hat crown full of that to pay for one load.
W. G. BROWNLOW.
