The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1870-12-08


Yesterday was cold and rainy.
An original story will appear in this
paper next week,
Trade from the country has been IN
usually brisk during the pas. few days.
A young mar named Mcfarland deliv-
cred lecture on music ut the Prcsbyter-
ian Church Tuesday night.
The workmen are still blasting in the
new well near the depot. They make suoh
a blasted ueise that everybody in the
neighborhood is bored.
Some hungry s~tealist went for a quauti-
" of fresh beef in Mrs. Brewster's cellar
a night or two ago. Whoever il Was got
enough to live on honestly FIR 4 week.
The young mea of Sweetwater have
been anticipating, some with pleasure aud
others with alarm, the approach Of a very
charming Committee, recently appointed
to solicit funds for church purposes.
Mr.. John Andrews has been here sew
cral days disposiug of county rights to
sell a new and improved feed cutter. He
has met with some success, and seems to
have taken quite a fancy to our place and
its people, Everybody does that, how
ever.

Ing a gallery, We have seen some hand

1t is a Plain Statement

OF a plain fact to say that Messrs. J.
NJ. Grant & Sons have one of the very best
and largest stocks of goods ever brought
to this section. This is no meaningless
puff. We confess to have been surprised,
a few days ago, at seeing the large quon-
titles Of goods packed away in their cstab-
lishment; and We believe those who visit
them will be surprised and pleased too.
Their stock of Ready Made Clothing,
Boots, Shoes, Hats, Cloths, Ladies' Dress
Goods, &c, is particularly attractive. 1t
strikes MS that persons desiring anything
in their line are missing the mark when
they fail to give the Messrs. Grant a call.

That UOX,

Our gallant and handsome friend, Major
Will Snead, about two weeks ago boarded
a train on the +. T. Va. L. Ga. Railroad,
for the purpose OF taking , trip to Georgia.
He was induced to do 50 az the sol cita-
ton of General John G. Vaughn, who, hav-
ing a special object in visiting our neigh
boring State, was naturally anxious to
be accompanied by gallant and handsome
gentlemen. But, by some means, the re-
port gained circulation that the Major
msditated matrimony among the pine
knobs Of Georgia, on his own account.
That somebody about here felt a decided
interest in his stalking off," the following
statement will show:
Just as Major Snead took his seat in the
car, which was about starting, Mr.. Still
man, the Express Agent, approached him
hurriedly with a package, purporting to
have been expressed from Knoxville, and
remarked, "You had better take this
along with you, Major. But, casting Il
buried glance at the superscription, tile
Major thought differently, and tossed the
package on the platform, knowing that
some friend would see that it was prop
erly cared for. On his return from Geor-
gia a few days ago he called for the pack.
age, aud on examination found it to con-
tain a very pretty pair of child's shoes and
a bundle of candy. The shoes were nicc
enough to have come from Knoxville, or
even from New York, but the candy was
evidently home stock. The M,jor thinks
that the gentleman who sent it put herself
10 unnecessary trouble in trying to disguise
his hand writing, and that if she esteems
candy as . nice thing for such occasions,
he had better have kept it for her own
use. The shoes will have to 20 out of the
Snead family, but he will try during
Christmas to find some nice little girl
they will ft. He tenders his thanks to
the kind donor and hopes that he may
neyerfeel the need of green shoes or pep
permit candy as long as she lives.

An ImpOrtnnt Matter.


We ask the attention Of the people Of
Monroe county to a communication to
tue Athens Post which We copy on the
first page of this paper. 1t is under the
caption of"An Important Natter" and is
signed "Cherokee North Carolina"
Heretofore, through the Enterprise,
and by individuals, your attention has
been called to the great advantages and
beneats that would result from having
good roads from the Railroad Depot to
M~adisouyille, aud thence to different parts
of the county, and to Murphy, North Car
DINA.
Cherokee is right in saying that the
trade of his section would be an Important
matter to Athens, Mouse Creek and Sweet
water. II Monroe county willact prompt
ly, theoretically and wisely, she can Sc
cure a goodly portion of this North Caro-
ina trade.
There is very little difference in the
distance to Athens, Mouse Creek or Sweet
water. Cherokee county will of course
haul its articles over the best roads, aud
to the town Offering the greatest induce
meuts.
1t is u prize worth contending for,
Have your roads run by the shortest
and best routes through iarmsif necessa-
ry; avoiding steep hills and hollows. To
do this, juries should be appointed aud
the roads changed in various places. Ii
each neighborhood would attend to this
aud then work the roads well, mech will
be accomplished.

Night LOafng.

Night LOaiing.
We have intended for some time TO
speak of this very bad practice, so preya.
lent in almost every town. Sweetwater
is unusually free from it, and we hope may
always continue so.
Men of all ages, and even boys, are Of
ten seen gathered in SON store, or per-
haps grog-shop, to trife away hours which
should be spent in study r in the society
&C their families. Little do the older ones
.hink what an influence they are bringing
to bear On the youths By whom they are
surrounded. They are helping to make
those boys who stand listening to their
idle, perhaps indecent conversation, loaf
ers and yagabonds for life.
Many married men, generally kind in
their social relations, seem to forget what
a pleasure it would be to their good wives
who have toiled hard all day-to have
their husbands remain at home and talk or
read to them while they 60 on with the
everlasting sewing.
It'll II sad thing to think of the many
households which would be otherwise hap.
py, but into which enlargement and dis
content have crept, through the same door
that opened to let the husband out for his
nights loaing.
We hope the good husbands and sons
and brothers of Sweetwatcr may not fad
into this bad, this disgraceful habit.
Husbands, spend your leisure hour.
with your families. Read some entertain.
ing book to your faithful wife while she
is employed in the discharge of duties per-
tanning to your household. BY so doing
you will add greatly to the happiness of
your family, and in no small degree give
pleasure to yourself.
Boys, cease this habit at once. Grieve
your good mother no longer. She no
doubt often asks herself the question, with
a heavy heart, "Where is my boy to.
night 7" And as she kneels by her bed to
pray, she calls you by name and asks tod
to watch over you and keep you in Rhe
right way; often shedding bitter tears at
the course she fears you are pursuing.
Wipe away those tears and gladden. the
heart of her who gave you birth. Begin
now to walk in the only path by which
you can attain usefulness and honor.
The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1870-12-08
lien Talk and Women Work.

We often hear men complain Of the
a]rluOusRess of their tasks or of the c~onine.
ment incident to their profession or bust
ness. Women, as a rule, undergo more
fatigue, are more tied down to tho per-
Torrance of their every days duties, and
complain infinitely less than men. In
some cases their powers of endurance and
the cheerfulness with which they WORT;
year in and year out, in the face Of the
most depressing circumstances, can only
be regarded as marvellous. We have
more than oae case Of the kind in Sweet
water, aud no town or settlement is with
out such devoted, accomplishing women.
We heard a lady incidentally remark the
other day that she was giving sixty-four
music lessons a week. In addition to this
she teaches a large school, and is burdenel
with the care of Il family. Take ten men
and force them to . a life of such inces-
SAINT and generally thankless labor, and
nine out of the ten would seek relicfiu SUI
icide before the first vacation. Still, to
hear men talk, they bear on their should
ers all the burdens of life, aud women have
nothing to do bu. to take the world easy.
They simply show their want of good
sense when they talk in any such way.

MARYLAND,

If there was a State in all the "Union"
which would have been ''ixed" by mill
tary occupation, during the November
elections, Maryland was the State. But
the people of that plueky and ~undau.5ed
Commonwealth were not a bit scared, flnd
it appears, had really little to fear from
the presence of the ''bOys in blue" The
following significant dialogue, which re-
Gently cropped out in the columns of the

RenfrO & Young.

We ask attention to the advertisement
of this firm, to be found in another col.
gmn. They have a well selected stock
of conrectioneries, and keep constantly on
hand the incest kind of coffee, sugar,
cheese, sardines, oysters &c. In coDnec-
ton with the establishment is a bar where
a full stock Of good liquors and good order
is always kept. If all saloons were under
as strict management as this one, the bus
iuess would be elevated far above its pres
ens grade in the estimation of those who
love sobriety and good order,

The "Fat Contributor" gives the fol-
lowing Jolly hints to farmers {:
Now that winter is approaching, il
would, perhaps, be as well to discontinue
haying, and turn your attention to get
ting in your fall saw-logs. No farmer
can consider his fall work complete .un-
til he has his cellar well supplied with
saw-logs. Seated around the blazing
hearth of a winters night, there is no
fruit SO delicious. A correspondent asks
MS what We think Of late piowing. Plow-
ing should not be continued later than
10 or IL O'Clock Mt night. It gets the
horses in the habit of staying out late,
and unduly exposes the plow. Wohaye
known plpw5 to acquire string halt and
inhammatory rheumatism from late
blowing. Don't do it. To another cor
respondent who wants us to suggest a
good drain ON Il farm, we would say, a
heavy mortgage at ten per cent. will
drain it about as rapidly as anything we
know of.

An AbOmiRatiOn.

An old gentleman by the name ol Put
nam, who figured in the first American
Rebellion, helped himself into history by
riding down a number of stone steps, at u
lively gait, without breaking his neck
1t will never be believed at these head
quarters that, if he were living, he could
make six safe trips after dark from Chill
dress store to this office. The abomina.
bly, uneven surface one has to stumble
over between the POINTS referred to,
ought, by a fair calculation. to cripple cv-
cry mar in Monroe county in five years;
and the chief engineer of the trap ought,
by a fairer calculation, to have all the
DOCTORS bills to pay. It was with a keen
eye to business that three Of our town
surgeons located their Offices on this line
of travel.
There are other public streets in Sweet.
water, on which it is both uncomfortable
and unsafe 10 walk, particularly at night;
and if it is %auybody's business to repair
them, the work Of reparation should be
commenced at once.
