MORE SHEEr KILLED.-Our friend.
Col. J. NJ. Bewley, has lost seven OF
eight very fine sheep during the last
week by the dogs of his neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Gillem, an adjoining
farmer, has also suffered similar loss
es. The dog law is badly needed in
Hamblen. It is but poor satisfac-
tion to the owner of a fine breed Of
sheep, like that of Col. Bewley, that
he is able to shoot a few worthless
dogs after they have despoiled his
flock. Let the dogs die first. There
is no department of farm life that
could be made more profitable in
East Tennessee than sheep raising
If there was a stringent law protect
ing the owners from the worthless
dogs that swarm throughout its ter
ritory.

in our town a real live Book Store

able to an intelligent community as

fitted up very convenient room on
Main street, and presents q goodly
array of Books and Stationery-fully
sufficient TO fill existing demands.
1t is the intention OF Mr.. Thomas to
keep constantly on hand n supply Of
the most approved school books now
used, together with standard religi-
GUS, historical, classical, and mis-
celIaneous works, and to sell them
at city retail prices. with the trans

the Southern Methodist Publishing

the Morristown Bookstore to the
