EXCESSIVE DREDGING FINES AS was
to have been expected, great dissatisfac-
ti"n exists among the oyster dredgcrs and
their friends in regard to the heavy fines
which Magistrates are beginning to i'm
pose. both here and elsewhere. in cases Of
aggravated violations Of our State Oyster
laws. As ought not TO have been expec-
ted. Capt. Ti@mons is, also. understood
TO be disrleased with the imposition of more

1t may Be supposed that they have been
imposed without warrant Of law. This.

The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1873-09-03
A Very Valuable Book.

The National Publishing Company
of Atlanta, Ca, has just issued a
most remarkable and attractive book
entitled The Undeveloped West;
or, Five Years in the Territories :
being a complete history Of that
vast region between the Mississippi
and the Pacific; its Resources, Gil
mate, Inhabitants, Natural Curiosi-
ties, etc, with Life and Adventure
on Prairies, Mountains. and the Pa
cifc Coast, by j. II. Beadle, Western
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, and Author of Life in
Utah. etc. It is well known to ev-
cry one that, far beyond the Missis-
sippi. and stretching over half the
continent, is a vast region which we
vaguely term the ''Great West''-a
region Astounding in the most Won
derful natural formations, rich in
precious mineral deposits, and offer
ing the greatest attractions to the
settler and the tourist. Though SO
often spoken of, it is almost an I'M
known land. To prospective emf
grants and settlers in the Ear
West" this history of that vast re-
gion will prove an invaluable assis-
lance, supplying as it does, want
long felt of full. authentic and re-
liable guide to climate, soil, products,
distances. localities, means Of travel,
etc. It may be relied upon, for it
contains no secondhand information.
It is comprised in one large octave
volume Of 823 pages, and illustrated
with 240 fine engravings of the
scenery, lands, mines, people and
curiosities of the Great West. The
low price at which the work is issued
brings it within the reach of all, and
the great popular interest in the sub
ject, and established reputation of
the author, combine to make it the
best and most popular book Of the
day. 1t is sold by subscription only,
and agents are wanted in every
county.

The Free Schools Of Hamblen County.

The Jonesboro' correspondent of
the Knoxville Chronicle speaks of
the energy of Prof. Presnel, Of
Washington county, in working up
the free schools, and thinks that the
banner county in the common school
cause. Whilst we rejoice in Prof.
P.'s success, we are happy to state
that, so far, Hamblen carries off the
palm We have but twenty eight
school districts in our little county.
Already twenty-five teachers have
received certificates of qualification,
aud with two or three exceptions,
are teaching with success, We I'M
derstand that the remaining districts
except two, perhaps-have about
completed arrangements for the COM
mencement of their schools. By
the middle of the present month, we
expect every child in our county
will have the opportunity of being in
well-regulated and well-taught
school, This is a proud record for
our people. Two-thirds of the teach
ers are single young men. earnest
laborers in the work of teaching.
At the close of the FIVE months ses-
sion, they expect again to enter
school to fit themselves more thor
oughly for the work. Capt. Trent,
our County Superintendent, is indie
fatigable in organizing the schools.
He is man of great purity of char
acter. and no one can be more ear
nest to secure teachers not only com
petent to instruct, but also Of good
moral character. Every citizen
should give him a hearty co-opera-
ton. His duties are exceedingly
delicate as we'll as arduous. We
have been at sea upon the subject of
common schools. Then, do not crit
icise with severity. Let us all work
together, and place the youth of our
county among the foremost in the
State in point Of virtue and intel
ligence.

Without a Newspaper.

Nothing, says an exchange, pre-
sents a sadder commentary upon the
present condition of society than the
large number of families, both in
town and in the country, but more
especially in the latter, that sub
scribe to no paper of any kind
How many families are thus growing
up utterly ignorant Of what is trans
piring in the world around them
ignorant of the mighty events of the
day But who can tell of the vast
amount of injury inflicted upon the
rising gcneration-those who are to
take our place at no distant day
growing up without any knowledge
Of the present or any study of the
past, this ignorance, too, beng i'm
bued into them by the sanction of
those who should, and doubtless do,
know better, did they only think Of
the injurious effects of their insane
course. Let the head of the family
think of this. and place in the hands
Of those for whom he is responsible,
the means Of acquiring some Inowl-
edge of the moving panorama in
which we act our different parts.

The MORRISTOWN GAZETTE,
NOW IN ITS
S seventh Y e ar,

Has been, for six years and half the most regu-
larry issued county newspaper published in East
Tennessee having never missed regular issue
since its estabIishment-and its columns, each
week, have contained LARGE AMOUNT of County,
State and General News of interest to every citizen
of Hamblen, Hawkins, Granger, Cooke and Jeffer-
Counties, PARTICULARLY; and We now appeal
to them to come forward and give the GAZETTE
more liberal support-give it a patronage commen-
surate with IT'S MERITS. Aside from the value of
the paper as NEWS DISSEMINATION, its labors have
been devoted to the interest and advancement of
every enterprise that had for its object the building
up Of the material prosperity of this Immediate
section. The Farmer aud the Mechanic have
had in the GAZETTE, fast friend and a staunch
advocate. The Merchant and those engaged in
Commercial pursuits have not been neglected, and
their interests have been carefully watched and
upheld in our columns. In fact, the Propretors of
the GAZETTE have labored assiduously to make the
paper interesting, instructive and Of value to al
classes of our people.
Now we want to improve the GAZETTE; we des-
ire to add to its attractions and make it still
valuable to its patrons wish to give to the peo-
