genial young town gentleman. said he'd
take little in his'n. And right lively
! he made it for some who approached toe
near. Esquire Donaldson thought, all
things considered, that bond of five
hundred dollars would be sufficient pen
atty. . Check my baggage TO the Gala
boose," sung out the young town gentle
man, az he departed from the village
But seriously, the proceedings of Satur-
day evening were disgraeeIuI and We
hope win never be repeated.
- Tom Cain, that big-souled, gener-
Gus hearted friend of the GAZETTE and Of
every other enterprise or individual cred
liable to his town or county, handed rs
list of eight new subscribers to the
GAZETTE, obtained by him in few min
utes last Saturday. Our heart has al
ways went out warmly toward Tom, but
such tokens Of friendship as these are
hooks of steel in our attachment to him.
With few friends like Tom, the GA
zETTE would be running steam power
press in less than half a year. And 1t is
so easy 20 be like him in respect to his
interest for the paper. Each one of our
present subscribers can easily procure us
one or more new subscribers, if they
will only make the effort Now, wont
you try? But if you think you can't do
that much for as and you have the least
suspicion that you are indebted to us
for any period Of subscription, forward
it at once, and we viii gladly compro-
mise on that basis, and have the neE
press without the ala of the new sub
scribers you might procure. We would
like to have you do both, but one or the
other justice and honesty demands, aud
we confidently expect, 81
We regret to learn that the Foun-
dry and Machine Shop of c, Fl. Witt,
located about five miles from this
town, near the line of the Cincinnati,
! Cumberland Gap and Charleston rail-
road, was destroyed by fire last Thurs
day morning. The fire is supposed to
| have been accidental. A blast was made
the night before, and the usual precau-
tions observed by the workmen. The
fire was discovered about four O'Clock in
the morning issuing from the cupelo of
the moulding room. The loss is estimat-
cd at $1,000 to the proprietor. Mr. Witt
has the sympathies of the community.
he is an industrious, energetic man, and
has been patiently laboring for years in
adding to and increasing the facilities
of lis establishment for larger useful
ness, and now when it was almost per-
fected, to have it destroyed in a few mo-
mentS is sad misfortune. But his en-
ergy and pluck are not discouraged. We
understand he has already gone to work
with preparations to immediately rebuild
and refurnish the machinery of a new
establishment at the same place.
