Personal,

Judge Robert Mcfarland, of the Su-
premc Court, has returned from Knox
vile, and will enjoy few week S respite
from term duties with his family and
friends here.
That prince OF clever gentlemen, and
king of Southern hardware dealers, Capt.
w. W Woodruff, of Knoxville, was a
guest Of the Turley House Monday night.
We had the pleasure of receiving a
call last week from Charles e. DOsser,
Esq, one of the editors of the Jones
borough Journal The journal is one of
the neatest and best conducted county
papers in the State, and Mr.. DOsser is
a worthy lieutenant of such craft,
Drs. Mahoney and Wheeler, Of the
LLerald and Tribune, and Capt. a. John
son, Jr., OF the GreenEille H1teztgencer,
have visited the Turley House recently.
A GAZETTE reporter calculated that
Capt. Johnson was en- route for the Warm
Springs, DIR. MahOney in search of the
premium list of the approaching Divis-
ion Fair, and DR.. Wheeler engaged in
preparing an analysis of the remains OF
the late Spy May they all have good
time, and live to be as old as Susan b..
Anthony or any other man.
Geo. H. Smith, Esq. and wife, A. A.
Barnes. Esq, and wife, = Lcuty, Esq,
and wife, of Knoxville, were among the
passengers to Tate Spring last Saturday.
We understand there are about one hun
dred and fifty guests divided between
Tate's and Mineral IIill-the largest
number being at Tate's.
Chief Justice Nicholson and Judge
-Turney, of the Supreme Bench, con-
template spending portion of their va
cation, we are informed, at the Warm
Springs. There arc about one hundred
and sixty visitors now at the Springs,
and the number is being daily augmented
by arrivals from the South.

SinguIar Premonition.

Moses Smith, living about six miles
west of this place, is a well known, in
dustrious and well TODD farmer, and a
man whose word is respected by his
neighbors. He recites very remarkable
case Of preInonition Of danger through
the agency Of dreams, which we think
of sufficient interest to repeat Mt
Smith has been a widower for years, and
occupies his house alone. BY economy
and thrift he has managed to accumulate
about $500 in gold, which he kept in
wooden box in his bedroom. For two
nights in succession he dreamed that
robbers broke into his house and carried
of his golden treasure. The second &C.
casion of the vision happened last
Wednesday night week. Thursday he
had made arrangements to visit this town
on business, but the singularity of the
dream was SO impressed upon his mind
that before leaving home, he removed
his god from the box and hid it in
hollow stump in the field. Thursday
evening upon returning to his home,
he found his house had been broken in
to, and ransacked, and the box in which
his treasure was usually kept bursted
open and scattered on the floor. He is
well satisfied that had it not been for the
timely warming by dream, he would
have lost his gold. Mr. Smith thinks
the premonition was prompted by good
spirit, and we don't attempt to contra
dict it; but we have our private opinion
about spirit of any kind that prompts
men to keep $500 in gold hidden away
in old boxes or musty stumps, such times
as these; and if he will profit by the adj
vice Of one who objects to boxes and
stumps for such surplus treasure he will
do his gold as we do the GAzETTE-cir-
culate it! @Cerkelate' for the good of
mankind in general and suffering
nei9hbors in particular

Cornelius w. Coffin, a well known and
influential citizen of Knoxville, died
near Nashville, last Wednesday. Dir.
Coffin had been for many years one of
the most successful and enterprising
merchants of Knoxville He was me-
thodical and diligent in his business, and
had the full confidence of all with whom
he had any business relations. Since
the war he had been a member of the
firm Of Coffin, Martin & Co., and stood
deserVedly high in the estimation of bust
ness men of Knoxville as a gentleman of
sagacity in his calling and of high tone
and unquestionable integrity. He had
been sorely afflicted for long time be-
fore his death, and drew largely on the
kindly sympathies of those who were IA
miIiar with the nature of his sad Attic
ton. He was in his SD year at the time
of his death. His remains were inferred
in the cemetery near Madisonville, where
he formerly resided.
Mr.. j.. e. S. Blackwell, an old and es-
teemed gentleman of the old Virginia
school, died near Knoxville, last Thurs
day. Mr.. Blackwell was native of
Fauquier county Va, but has been res
ident of Knoxville aud vicinity since the
year 1919. No man had better name
for honesty. He was man of strong
feelings, and when occasion called for it
would resent an indignity or insult with
prompt and manly indignation. he de-
spised oil meanness. Few men cher
ished with warmer gratitude, the recol-
lection OF acts of kindness, or exhibited .
higher appreciation of them. After a
residence of nearly sixty years in the
county of his adoption, no man can lay
to his charge an unworthy or dishonora-
BILE act. He was good and worthy citi-
zen, kind and generous neighbor, an
affectionate and tender husband and IA
ther, warm and trusty friend, and an
upright, honest man. Few persons who
knew him casually would have regarded
him as an old man-so well preserved
and hearty and hale did he appear-and
yet he had almost numbered his four
score years. He died in the 18th year of
his age. Peace to his memory.

Fine Vegetables.

We arc indebted to the thoughtful nc.
tention Of Masters Kiber and Hugh
Speck. of this place, for q large variety
OF specimens OF their garden productions,
consisting Of potatoes, beans and the
largest and sweetest beets we have seen.
Vegetables are generally well developed
and unusually fine in all our gardens this
season, but our young friends have not
been surpassed by any of their neigh
bors in their gardening experiments.
We enjoyed their handsome present and
thank them for it.
Later, we received from a friend who
is continually placing us in his debt for
such attentions, a bushel of early
Rose potatoes of such huge dimensions
as to strike the beholder with astonish-
ment. Our friends modesty about mat
tiers of this kind is only equaIled by his
noble generosity and massive worth

RogersviIle Female College.

Rev. A. w. Wilson, President of
Rogersyille Female College, who has
been absent several weeks in the inter
est Of the school, returned last week, and
gives us the gratifying assurance that
ne has met the most encouraging success,
and that the prospects are most cheering
for a large and full school to start with.
This could hardly have been otherwise
The high reputation of Prof Wilson as
a teacher, his irreproachabIe character as
a man, and the zeal and feryof with
which he tackles everything he attempts,
viii always insure success. Under his
management the resuscitated College
will offer educational advantages to the
young ladies of the country unsurpassed
in the South. The good people of Rog-
ersville and Hawkins, we feel assured,
will appreciate the importance of giving
our valued friend, and worthy Principal
of the new management, that moral and
pecuniary support which is essential TO
the performance of all valuable and sue
cessful work. What we have lost, they
are to gain. And it is too valuable to be
unappreciated by them or unregretted by

JENKINS, wife OF James Jenkins, ESQ
Mrs. Jenkins was born In Knox county
Kentucky, about the year 1919, and emf
grated to East Tennessee in the early
part of last spring. We visited her on
the evening of the 4th and found her
sinking. She said to an old sister, do you
think there is any chance for me to Iiveg
She answered you are very bad, but if
you can't live are you prepared to dieg
She looked up and said, / am. I feel
there is not cloud between me and my
God. I was great sinner when came
To this county, but / prayed to God and
he forgave me all my sins, and feel to
thank him for it. The poor woman. al
though weak in body, could contain her
self no longer, when she lifted her feeble
voice in shouting the praises of God for
few minutes. She then tried to sing, at
first her voice was very weak, but Il soon
grew clear and distinct; the words were:
'sOh come angel hand;
Come and around me stand;
Come bare me away ON your snow white wings
To my eternal home"
She was then for while silent; there
was not a dry eye in the house; she then
asked her husband and those present, to
meet her in heaven She called for her
two little children, and gave them her
parting blessing and left 4 message for
her mother and two brothers in Ken
lucky She then laid quiet until about
10 O'clock that night; shcthen said, they
are calling for ME. At o'clock on the
morning of the 9Th, she stepped or of

skies, and rode off To her Fathers house
in that land where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are forever at
rest. Thus passed from earth one more.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE. J
WHrTEsBURG, July s, 1875.
To the School Directors Of IIdmblea County.
The State Superintendent in his circu-
lar address requires the County supcrin-
tendents to make an estimate of the pro
6a5ge amount of money that win be APP
propriated to each district for the ensu-
ing year. This estimate. of course, can
only be an approximate, as the valuation
of the taxable property of the county
viii probably be less than heretofore.
The amount received from the State on
poll tax and interest of the School Fund
WAS about so cents per scholar. Last
year the State levy on property was 10
cents on the hundred dollars, and the
county levy cents, making Is cents on
the hundred dollars on property, The
amount received from this source was
about 81 cents per scholar, making:in all,
$1.47 per scholar. This year the Seate
levy is still 10 cents on the hundred dol
lars, while the county levy has been in
creased TO IS cents, making a tax of %
cents on property for school purposes.
This being two thirds more than the tax
on property last year, will make about
$f.62 per scholar that viii be realized
from the tax, State and county, in pro-
perty. TO this $I.62 add 80 cents re-
ceived from the poll tax and interest on
the School Fund. and we have 81 70, the
probable amount per scholar that viii be
received the ensuing year. I think we
can safely calculate on 50 O0per scholar.
