GRAND PIC NC AND DELIGHTFUL EN-
e. TERTAINMEST.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
On the 10th inst. there was a grand
Pic Mic at our town. On the morn.
ing of the day appointed for the
grand festival the clouds in the west
crn horizon began TO assume the APP
pcarance of rain, which made. many
young hearts tremble with sad dis
appointment But their sadness
soon changed to rejoicing. as the
clouds vanished, and old Sol shone
out in all his pristine splendor.
About 10 o'clock there was vast
conconrse of people OF all ages and
rank assembled III the grove near
the Methodist Church. the place dos
ignated for the Pic Mic, by the COM
lnittee of arrangements. The table
erected for tire occasion was one hum
dred and sixty feetin length, in the
shape of an obIong square, and beau
tifuily festOoned with flowers by our
village and country bellies. would
just state here, for beauty and intel
ligenee our young ladies are not sur
passed. The hour having arrived
for the speaking to commence, Rev.
j j. Carroll opened the exercises
with few Introductory remarks in
his usual impressive manner, which
shed halo of happiness over all
within the sound of his voice. Our
young friend, +. j. Williams, was
next introduced aud delivered one of
those eloquent and sublime orations
that would have reflected ere lit upon
one of matare years. Lastly came
unpopular friend, Mr.. John Meier
rim. of Bulls Gap. who delivered one
of those deep and logical speeches
that is ever characteristic Of himself.
After the speaking was over the
crowd Toved to the table that was
bountifulIy spread with the rich dain-
ties of our country, arranged in the
most exquisite style. Altogether
the day was one that will long be re-
membered by the people Of old Haw-
kinS.

seems fully complied with the postal

pleasure in making public its COM

to us. the NetrS does credit to itself,
though it only sustains the previous
high character for fairness and honor
it has been accorded in Journalism.
Its manliness and Iice sense Of jus

mulisIr obstinacy of its neighbor,
the Courier, who, though the instiga-
tor of the libel on us, and aware Of
it. has not yet informed its readers
of it. There is some satisfaction,
however, in the reflection that though
the Courier man may ape the solemn
grandeur and facial beauty OF Jupi-

down to a strict classification. even
with its own readers. it ranks no

The Democrat complains that the nav
mode CT assessment has increased the
valuation of property so per cent. there
nv increasing the state taxes. The assess
ment of taxes for state purposes was in
creased to Is cents on the 500 by the
last Legislature, for the purpose of pay
sax debts incurred under the Democrat
&c Legislature of 1870. and urproyided for.
The Democratic Legislature reduced the
State tax from i0cents to s. cents, when
they knew that the tax would not more
than half pay the expenses. This made
It also entirely necessary ia order to pro-
tect the credit OF the State. to increase II
to Is cents for two years.
The increased valuation Of property
under the new law, should have reduced
the rate of taxation fos County pur'
poses in Marshall County; but for some
reason unexplained in the Ds'noeratslabor
ed article upon the subject Of extravagan'
leeesIadou and High taxes there has been
no rcduc8ion in our county taxes. Ou'
county Commissioners certainly under
stand that an increase Of so per cent OF
taxable property would yield 80 per cent
more revenue. If our taxes were high
enough under the old law. are they not toe
high under the new9
