JEFFERSON COUNTY FAIR.

A CARD FROM MR.. MEEK.
We direct the special attention of
our readers to the communication
from John NJ. Meek, Esq, published
below. The success of the under
taking is a matter in which the peo-
pie not only of jefferson but Of the
adjoining and neighboring counties
should feel a deep interest. 1t is
useless for us to expatiate at length
upon the advantages and benefits
derived by the people of county
or country from such exhibitions
they are too apparent to each and
every individual to require demon
stration. We hope Mr.. Meek's in
vitation will be responded to in the
same spirit of cordiality with which
it is given, and we feel an earnest
desire that the Fair may prove the
complete success which we believe
from our knowledge of the man
agement we venture to predict it
will be.
To the Editor of the Morrtstown Gazette:
/ want to speak a word through the
columns of your paper to the farmers of
Cooke, Hawkins, Granger, Sewer, Knox
and Hamblen counties, in regard to our
Jefferson County Fair, to be held at
Messy Creek on the 9th, 29th and Goth
DAYS of October. This win be our first
Annual Exhibition and we propose to
open our premium lists to all of the
above counties.
We cordially invite you to bring out
your stock and farm products, and ar
ticles of household and skilled labor
Meet with us and let US by generous
emulation and competition encourage
and stimulate each other to higher and
more intelligent modes of farming,
stock-1aising and manufacturing Other
counties are up and at work-why should
we lag behind? We must keep step to
the march Of progress, or be left behind.
Onward is the watch-cry OF the age IN
all the departments of human industry.
Men are searching and reaching for a
more intelligent mode of action and
higher standard of excellence in all the
productive enterprises of this day.
Shall we not fall into line and catch
the step?
Here is an opportunity of bringing all
the natural resources of your respective
counties before the world; a chance to
show the producing capacities of these
counties in stock, grain, minerals and
manufactures. Come, then, and meet
with us. We will do all in our power
to make your visit both pleasant and
profitable. All entries are free, and all
possible accommodations will be extend
ed you. Those wishing to make entries
may address as below.
JOHN nj. MEEK,
Secretary.

1T las come at last-the catastro-
Pie for which the Radical politicians
have awaited with such anxious long
ing. The earpet-bag governor Of Mis-
sissippi, Ames, expressed the wish
that "a dozen or so niggers might be
killed. and his desire has been graf
flied. Such a condition have the for
tunes of their party reached that this
noble. liberal and enlightened politi-
clan doubtless only expressed the
heartfelt sentiments of the greater
lights in his party. The outrage
mill had latterly ground but slowly,
and this fresh grist will no doubt be
hailed with unutterable delight. just
in the midst of the Ohio canvass, too,
when crushed with the heavy burden
Of their odious legislation, whipped to
death upon the currency question,
driven from every position they have
taken by the stern facts and sledge-
hammer logic showered on them by
Bill Allen and his associates, the
bloody shirt is the last resort. the
only rallying cry to which they can
hope for their routed. legions to re-
spond. Oh, lucky fortune that
brought them this relief! Yelling
ton at Waterloo longEd for Butcher.
Napoleon. while his fast thinning
ranks stubbornly contested the
ground at Marengo yearned for De-
saix, with no greater fervor than
these CALLED and harrassed politicians
have thirsted for q Southern out
rage" But there is a drop of bitter
in this their cup of joy. The naugh-
ty whites wouldn't kill without any
propagation. Notwithstanding the
great demand for something of the
sort the perverse and hard-headed
Democracy stubbornly refused to
"kill the dozen niggers" just for the
fun of the thing.
It was not until the innocent
blacks had shot dozen balls into
man who had surrendered to them
had cut off his finger to obtain q
ring, and then in continuation of
their pleasant and harmless amuse-
ment had murdered in cold blood
some half dozen other individuals
because their skins were not of char
coal hue-a most heinous ofense
and highly deserving of punishment
that the whites perpetrated this
dreadful COURAGE" Under all the
facts, the Clinton riot will hardly
prove very available capital to the
Radicals.
The day has passed when the
death of a negro-though killed in
self-defense-would sufficiently "fire
the loyal heart as to overtop every
other consideration.
We deplore that such a state of
affairs as that in Mississippi should |
exist, but in this as in almost every |
other instance of like kind the facts
show that the negroes themselves |
and their Radical brethren are alone
to blame for it..

THAT DESK

A desk has been manufactured in In
dianapolis for Col. J. b. Killebrew to
cost 125.-NGsltUllle American.
How's that? Is it possible the Superin-
tendent of the very costly establishment
that overlooks, encourages, fosters, pro-
tects and defends, laudates and publish
es broadcast the resources and Industries
of Tennessee could not find furniture
shop in Nashville or the whole State,
capable of supplying his Office with a
desk? We fear oul Resources" are I'M
dergeing shrinkage .-Rn0eoiJle Press
md Herald.
The point would be well taken and
pertinent but for a fact of which our
Knoxville contemporary was not possess
ed, and which should have been stated
in the AMERICANS paragraph. The
desk is a newly patented one-a desk
and proof-safe combined. They are not
manufactured in Nashville, and it was
exactly the article needed in the office
of the Commissioner-an really val
liable piece of property to the State,
in small way.-Nasls05Ue Anse7TcaR.
So our friend of the Age was wrong in
his impression that the desk was a
gift" But as Mr.. johnson used to
say, ''just here the question come up:n
What kind of ''proof-safe" combina-
ton is that rare, s'newly-p patented" desk?
Is it burglar-proef, rat-proof, or bug
proof? .-HnorU5l5e Press and Herald

Another Good Move.

We notice that our friend, DIR. Magee,
is making preparations to remove the
large two-story frame building, situated
near DR.. Carriger's drug store, and
known as the old Court House, to the
fat, near the store-house of i. p. s. G..
E. Speck. Whilewe dislike to see frame
buildings occupy such eligible BUSH
ness positions on our Main street, we
confess we are glad to chronicle any
sort of material change in these days
of improvement deafness. When placed
in its new position the old building will
no doubt undergo such internal changes
as to render it valuable and desirable
business house.

Abducted.

The last Bristol Courier states that a
Miss Amanda Leonard, daughter of Pc
ter Leonard, living few miles from
Bristol, was abducted from her home a
few days since by man named VIM.
Matherly, who leaves a wife and two
children to the cold charities of the
world. Matherly is wagon-maker by
trade, and had been employed for some
time by Leonard. The Courier says
that Mr.. Leonard had been very kind to
him and his family, often advancing
means before they were due to purchase
the necessaries of life. No clue to the
direction taken has been found. Math-
erly is small man, about 80 years old,
and weighs about 1870 lbs. Miss L. is
aged about 10 years.

~ Our readers have pretty gen
orally heard of Bishop Haven, of the
Northern Methodist Church. The
following is the opinion expressed
of him by the Chicago Tribune, an
orthodox Republican paper that has
q right to speak plainly of its own

Bishop Gilbert Haven, Of the
Methodist Church, is really a good
deal OF nuisance, and it is not sur
prising that the respectable people

sides, do not court his acquaintance.

To the Editor Of the Norristown Gazette:
Perhaps some of your readers may be
interested in knowing what may be trans
piring in this pleasant spot of the ''Swit-
zerland of America. +"
1t is true, Mr.. Editor, our village is
small-yet, we do not intend, on that
account, to be ignored. In point of en-
terprise and thrift we know of no village
that can equal ours We will give you
some facts to prove what we have to say
about its enterprise is no vain talk.
A little more than year ago tile idea
of building an Academy was not conceiY-
ed-one year ago to-day the bricks were
not all made. Since that time a great
change has been produced. That dreary
and deserted looking Hill upon which
the visitor formerly gazed is now adOrn-
ed with large and imposing Academy
building. Three of its six rooms can
now be used for school purposes. To get
the work to its present stage of advance
ment has been no small undertaking.
More than once have dark clouds hover
ed over its progress; yet the work still
goes on-and it GC9l go on as long as the
have their shoulders to the wheel, win
remain true and faithful.
The first session of the Academy began
last Monday. The outlook is very prom
Using. The ATTENDANCE is very good for
the beginning. There are several stu
dents here from distance and more are
expected daily.
business, till very lately, has been
quite good, There has been q qu6etus in
business here, occasioned by the depre-
citation in the wheat market. Merchants
are not altogether discouraged as yet.
They have hope that the price viii adj

Everyone is signing and longing for
rain. During the day the atmosphere is
very sultry for this part of the year.
Farmers are complaining of their ina

The health of the community is at
present very good.

"a The wages Of labor, remarks
the New York Sun, have fallen to an
average 331 per cent. in the last two
years, while food and fuel is as high
as ever. Thus the laborer who three
years ago earned So day, on the
average, now earns only $2-if he
can get work at all-whiIe the prime
necessaries of life cost just as much
as they did before. Where is the
fault? Who is responsible for this

TO tie Editor OF the Morristown Gazette:
It may be that you have but few read
ers that know the precise location of the.
above town, although it is quite an an
Gent village, that fiedrished in the days
Of stage coaches, etc. 1t is situated on
the old stage road from Knoxville to Alb
ingdon, Va, about rs miles from the
former city, on the banks of the Holston
river At one time it bid fair to be the
most important town of the county, and
why it did not succeed we are lead to
inquire when we look at the magnificent
farms that surround the place. Here we
find the Lyons, the Phipps, the Forgers,
the Armstrong;, and the Fudges. The
founder, Mai. Surgeon, noted trader of
his day, has long since passed away. Had
he lived, no doubt the fate of the town
would have been different. Yet we have
/ hope, should the General Government
go ahead as she has commenced with
her liberal improvements of our rivers,
Surgoinsville may yet be a city. By
the proper expenditure of few thous-
and dollars, the Holston could be made
navigable for steamers of the size of the
g Harry Helm for at least two-thirds of
the year And here let me invite Capt.
Helm to make a trial trip to this place.
There is nothing in his way on moder-
ate tide. We would give him hearty
welcome.
We must do something. Our leaders
at Rogersville have about managed to
let the Railroad go by the board. The
dump leaves that place now drawn by
horse Oh, mi Worse than the days
of old, and getting worse every day
Let us wake up Go to work Help
L. ourselves Show ourselves worthy
Open up the mighty HolstOn Improve
our county roads-inlprove our lands
make better our fences, barns, etc. Let
us make the Centennial year a year for
a general start on the road to prosperity.

Mr.. Mike Crowley, postal clerk on the
E. T., Va. & Ga. Il. II. met with a Sc
rious accident at our depot last Friday
evening. When the eastern bound train
arrived, he threw his valice into the
postal car before the train stopped, and
seeing that it was about to fail out he
made an effort to put it back when he
was caught between the high platform
and the car, and was rolled around in q
space only five inches wide. Persons
who were standing near had no other
idea but that he was killed or would die
in a short time; but we are pleased to re-
port that he is now improving and his

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The establishment of a Normal School
system by the last Legislature, aided by
six thousand dollars from the Peabody
fund, marks an epoch for good in the
history of Tennessee. Prof. e. s.
Stearns, the Superintendent appointed
by DIR. Sears of the fund, will be here to
take position in few days, when the
school will be opened to teach teachers
the science of teaching, and the science
of school government Every part Of
the State is interested, and should 1t not
be fully represented in this noble work?
Should not every school district have
the most skilIful educatorsg Andwould
it not be proper to Danish forever the
seedy, narrow-minded pedagogue who
has, generally, most effectually succeed
ed in teaching disgust for education than
otherwise?
Our Custom House viii be built at
once. Gen. Holman, the Superinten-
dent, is here making preparations for
the work. 1t is to be built OF East Ten
nessee marble. That's decided. There
is more wealth in that marble for your
country than the people imagine, if they
will hold on to the quarries and not let
them pass into the hands of foreign cap
italists, who will carry away the pro
ceeds, like the English carry off the sill
yer from the mines of Mexico.
