physician and friends.

Earnest s. Brisco's, now travelling agent
for popular Baltimore house, is spend

hours Monday morning.

r. Taylor put in his appearance last Sat-

stock, purchased for cash, and to be dis
posed of cheaper than such goods were
ever offered before. Consumers may re-
ly on finding goods in abundance, and
at low prices at his store.
W Spence Jarnagin has just receiv
/ ed, he says, the largest stock of Ready.
Made Clothing ever brought to the town,
and will sell them at prices that will
astonish the old fogies. All our readers
at home and a great many abroad, have
been introduced to Spence, and we are
sure they viii not forget him or his
clothing.

hibits here October 2Sth.
W We were glad to meet on our
streets, the first of the week, the hand
some face and manly form of OUR young
friend, w. s. Kyle, Esq, of Whitesburg,
looking the very picture and embodi-
ment of exceeding great comfort. Will
is popular with everybody, and leans as
instinctively to old friends as he does to
the society Of attractive young ladies.
EE Wednesday morning last, at Dali
ton, Ga, an old man named Fisher, while
trying to make railroad crossing before
train that was backing, was RIM over
by a train of the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia Road, cutting off both
of his legs and an arm and otherwise in
juring him so that he died in four hours.
G An idiotic white girl, says the
LOud0n Times, was picked up last week
in tho vicinity of Lenoir's Station, and
sent to the sheriff of the county for safe
keeping and protection. She escaped
Jail and went in the direction of Phila-
delphia when she was followed by ne
gro hoy named Charlie Matlock, who
knocked her down with a rock and other
wise abused her. When found, she was
lying in a mud hole, with her face bleed
ing profusely, and her body covered
with blue marks. The Times adds that
such conduct strongly demands the pres
ence of Judge Lynch.
eS Capt. 4. johnson, of the Greene
vile TnteEltgencer, was passenger on
the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and
Charleston railroad to Wolf Greek, last
Monday ''GO to the ant for one
small grain, see how it'll toll and strive;
while you, who have so much at home,
how profigate you live, " Tom Malon-eh?
fully watch the advertisements inserted
in it, when in want of goods, and pat
ronize the advertisers. They are iber-
al, fair and have the politeness to invite |
you; they believe you are intelligent |
enough to read before you buy, and they
deserve patronage for their enterprise in
letting the world know what they have
on hand.
gB That "Morristown Narragansett,''
Will S. Dickson, Esq, left last Saturday,
proposing to spend this week with his
professional brethren in ROgersville at
Circuit Court. We commend him to
our friend Sam Powell, who will find him
though an amateur at the bar, regular
old veteran at drawing his rations the
first Opportunity-"ke ards or no keards."
E Whatever may be said of the
other industries of our town, our me-
chanics seem to be driving good trade.
Rowe & Butt, our industrious and never
firing tin and stove dealers. and Town
send and D. C. NJ. Lyle our leather
workers each appear to be too busy in
filling orders for customers to pay atten-
tion to the excitement now pervading
other classes consequent on the removal
of the old court house.
EB We have received several num-
bers of new candidate for public IA
vor, just started at Nashville, called the
the Penny Nescs. The Nescs is an eve
ming paper; and it seems TO us, there is
good living for spicy, newsy evening
sheet at the capital We wish it the
fullest success, and knowing something
of the disadvantages it labored under to
get out its first numbers, we confidently
expect an improvement in matter and
style as it grows older. The fact is, it
will have to improve to get the ground
hog.
EB A valuable piece of bed covering
was picked up near the GAZETTE Office
one day last week, and can be had by
the owner calling at this Office and de-
scribing the same.
e Kercheval, Republican, was cleo
ted Mayor of Nashville, last Saturday,

idations" than newspapers have been
effected in Nashville.
