tons, have said very positively that
will not pay toll. There are other roads
and other depOts very little farther from
us, and am not alone, by a great deal,
when / say we had rather pay an extra
dollar to the industrious teamster to haul
goods little farther than to put it in
the pocket of a gate-keeper, road com

the gate and toll is false. Please give

gate is established on what was part of
Granger county when the road was first

Main street, or this side the old county
line? Is there not business enough in
this and other Northern counties to
cause Morristown to take some interest
in this matter. Citizens of this county
formerly principally shipped from Rus
sellville, as matter of choice. As your
town got ahead in point of interest the
business changed. There are a great
many wagoners and passengers that can
do all their shipping and shopping too
to just as good advantage at other places
as at Morristown; and they can spend a
dollar to a better advantage than to pay
it for one look at your city. / think

this subject. / have already heard of
enterprises on foot to repair the road to

RAILROAD EXCURSION TICKETS
To the Editor Of the Morrissown Gazette;

RAILROAD EXCURSION TICKETS
To the Editor of the Morrissown Gazette:
Believing your paper, and your infiu-
ence to be at the command of the peo-
pie, for the material interest of our whole
country, has induced me to attempt to
drop you a line, in behalf of the farmers
of East Tennessee. Can nothing be
done to get our Railroads to extend some
accommodations to their patrons; for
instance: To issue excursion tickets, for
fare one way for round trip. 70 all who
wish TO do their business and trading at
MorristoWn or Knoxville, or any other
point on the Road, for the year round.
By doing this the travel upon the Road
would be increased tan-fold, and still be
great benefit to the people; as well as
to many towns upon the line of Road,
particularly so to Morristown; for then
people would flock in to that point from
Leadvale, Rankin's, Clifton and Big
Creek, upon the Buncombe Road, as
well as from other points. TO do their
trading andto sell their wheat, corn, but
ter, eggs, etc. Thus you observe the
towns should be interested too, and make
move to have something of the kind
set on foot.
THE PUBLIC ROADS-ARE WE TO
HAVE NO IMPRO FEHENT
Another matter Of the greatest impor-
lance TO our country good, is good pub
lie highways, or country roads Look
all through East Tennessee, and what
are they? A lasting shame and disgrace
to our people, and to our grand and no
BILE State. While a great many of our
preachers, doctors, lawyers and politi-
clans arc half crazy upon the school law,
the dog law, and the fence law; vet not
one raises his voice in behalf>of our pub
lie highways, which are pleasure and
source of great pecuniary benefit to our
people and country While a law for
taxing the people at large to educate our
poor children is good thing and should
be done, hundreds have made a conven-
lent hobby of it to ride into some soft
office, while our almost impossible coun-
try roads have been neglected to the Sc
rious disadvantage and los of our people,
besides driving millions of dollars from
our State, that otherwise would have
sought investment in our midst. Can
nothing be done with our County Courtsg
or with our Legislature? One-third Of
our school taxes, and all the dog tax,
should be applied and expended upon
our county roads for ten years to come
We must have a fence law to protect
farmers and owners of real estate who
are now burdened with the larger por-
ton of our taxes. Compel every man to
fence his own stock instead of fencing
up all our lands to keep out stock, most
of which is a true representative of its
just think of it for
Que moment. The expense of building
and repairing the fencing of Tennessee
is ten millions more than the actual
worth of all the stock of the State, while
most of the fencing is done against
few worthless cattle and razor-backed |
hogs. MORE ANON.
