A Fine Place

Several northern parties have recently visited the East Tennessee sanitarium just below the city, and were very greatly astonished to find such an elegant institution.  It is simply magnificently furnished and the interior is a perfect palace.  Let any who doubt it go and see and be convinced that here is an institution that Knoxville people should be immensely proud of and have not talked half enough about.
