PERSONAL.

Capt T. c. Cain and Sheriff Boyd
landed in the city Sunday, from Nash
vile, looking supremacy happy Gains
returns his heartfelt thanks to the eiti-
zens of Morristown, and informs them
that he Is now driving Baltimore cattle.
Andrew Johnson, Jr., one of the able
editors of the GreeHeci1e IatelIigenceT, was
in town Saturday last and paid US
brief visit He is a gentleman of fine
talents and extended views on the i'm
portant issues of the day, and we was
impressed very much with his general
tone, but only regret that we could not
see more of him. We nearly forgot TO
say that he is as handsome as any man
it has ever been our lot to see connected
with the press. He reported his paper
in prosperous circumstances. Success
to you, Andy, Jr., and call again when
in town.
We had the pleasure on Monday last
of being introduced to Col. ]. NJ. Petit
grew, of the firm of Edmonds, Pettigrcw
& Co., Wholesale Tobacco and Commits
sion Merchants, Memphis, who also is the
President of the Chamber of Commerce
of that city He has been in our town
for a few days on a brief visit to his
fathers and brothers famiIies-the
former z. 6. Pettigrew, Esq, his father,
who resides short distance in the
country, and the latter, his brother, our
fellow-townsman W. A. Pettigrew We
found the Colonel to be gentleman of
refined culture, possessed with the most
perfect manner of talking that has ever
CHANGED to meet our cars. He Is true,
living model of extended business views
as will clearly be revealed by the posi-
ton given him, as President of the
Institution to which he has been placed
to head. His every utterance was cha
racterized in a gentlcmanly and scholar
ly manner, and his keen eyes exhibited
spirit enough to know that he possessed
a business tact that any one might well
feel proud. We regret very much that
Mr.. p. IS time was so limited as to pre-
vent us from forming more substantial
acquaintance. He represented business
in Memphis pretty fair at the time he
left, and informed us that though the
Memphians had began to grumble and
complain of dull times, lie had previous
to leaving that city for this place, visit
ed st. Louis, New Orleans and other
cities and found them as dull if not dull
er than Memphis, and accordingly assert
ed that Memphis, dull or brisk" is the
champion of business activity-that if
it begins to grow dull there they have
a lot of enterprising. chaps that will hug
together and grapple with. it in such
a manner as to make it lively and inter
esting for all. "a pity that MOrristown
hasn't got Il few such.) He handed us
for inspection, copy of this years Re
port of the Chamber of Commerce. 1t
IL a valuable book to the commercial
class, representing all branches of trades
and institutions eentered at Memphis,
and showing how they prosper and fall.
Several hundred copies have been gra
tuitously distributed throughout the
State for the protection of home trade.
We were well pleased with Col. p. and
pronounce him a good joviaI, live, wide
awake business man, and hope we may
again have the pleasure of meeting him
and giving him a hearty shake of the |
paw.

OF for Mineral Hill Springs.

Mr.. Joel Carriger, of this place, and the
late obliging postmaster on the Cincin-
natl, Cumberland Gap and Charleston
branch. left town Friday evening with
his household furniture accompanied by
Joseph Brown, Esq, for Mineral Hill
Springs. We understand Mr. C. has
been appointed to take charge of and
superintend this resort during the sum-
mer season for the reception of guests.
We doubt not that he viii make an eff
ticient manager, and use every exertiOn
to build up the interests of the Springs.
Under his control we hope to see the
highest success attained, inasmuch as
regards accommodations and courteous
ness, the excellencics of its waters, and
latterly to the Pccuniary benefit that
may yearly be sustained to the proprie-
TORS that in the future they may be en-
allied to extend the improvements of
the Springs, and give them wider rep
utation. We wish all, concerned, much
success.

ed that the Charleston railroad bridge
over the Holston suffered considerably.

OUR JOB DEPARTMENT.
The most Complete Job Office In
East Tennessee, outside OF
sasa Knoxville and Chat
tan0Oga.


We have just received new and inn
proved Gordon Jobber for our Job De-
partment, which we have placed in run
ming order, and are now ready to turn
out work on the shortest possible notice.
Our Job Type are new and well selected,
and we are fully prepared TO compete
with most any Office in the State IS re-
CARDS price of work or neatness and dis
patch. The public make a grave mis-
take when they go or send North and
East for work that can be as well and as
cheaply done in Morristown by the
GAZETTE. Merchants viii find, upon
comparison of work and prices, that they
can do better in the Job Rooms of the
GAZETTE than they will do by going
abroad, and that it is great mistake to
assume that work done at distance is
necessarily better than they can obtain
at home. They should remember that
the more work they have performed by
their neighbors, the better able viii their
neighbOrs be to do fine work; and the
more they do abroad, the more they will
have to do abroad, because there will be
nothing to induce first-class printers to
come and remain among you. We in
wife every merchant in the town and
county to come and examine our facili-
ties for doing good work. We would be
pleased to receive an order from every
merchant in the town for an order of
letter heads, bill heads, circulars, envel-
ope address, or in any line of printing
that they may need. We print with the
very best of inks, either in plain or
ornamental colors. Bring in your jobs
and you can get them at any time you
wish, printed in any style at remarkably
low rates.

CONC I'D the Asvlum.

Gains, who was ordered by the last
term of our Circuit Court to be sent to
the Insane Asylum, at Nashville, was
accompanied by T. c. Cain and sheriff
Boyd on Thursday last for that institu-
ton. He was rugged out in bran new
suit of clothes, and looked as though he
might have been some distinguished
French gentleman. He said he was 60
ing off to Baltimore to drive stock. We
guess the Jail will feel lonesome now
without Gains.

How it Happened.

An ingenious Morristown chap the
the other day placed in basket near
the stove little chicken which he sup
posed to be laboring under some dread
full chicken disease His attention a
few minutes thereafter was attracted,
when 10! he espied the little chicken
in the mouth of little cat. 1t is suffice
to say that both the little chicken and
cat are no more, and that the chaps rep
utation as a chicken doctor is blasted.
