Personal.


Our next door neighbor, D. Pence, re-
turned yesterday from a trip east after
goods and novelties for his customers.
Our young friend, Will. 8. Shields,
of Beams Station, whose fine blOOded
cattle have taken premiums wherever
they have competed, left his home last
Monday to attend the stock sales at Lex
ington and other noted cattle markets in
Kentucky.
John Rhea, of Williams, Zimmerman
s. Wilson, Knoxville, circulated n few
days in our town last week and depart
ed on the Buncombe for Cooke. From
indications, the thing is about ripe, and
the Dickinson Light Guards will have
another honorary member soon.
DR.. r. B. Owens of this place, and
Maj John Starnes, of Hawkins, left for
Kentucky yesterday. The Doctor ex-
poets to be absent several weeks.
Master Mortimer Thompson has just
finished for Maj. John NJ. Dickinson s.
Sons market house, the most unique
and appropriate business sign we have
ever seen. The lettering is faultless and
the bulls head would not discredit the
pencil of Landseer or Rosa Whatsher-
name.
A. Kyle McCarty, Esq, native and
former citizen of Hawkins county, but
since the war a resident of Grayson
county, Texas, was in our town on
Saturday circulating among his old
friends and acquaintance. Mr.. McCar-
ty was en- route for his old home in Haw-
kins for few weeks visit, after which
he will return to his western home.
Our clever young friend, John l..
Howell, who for n year past has been
engaged in the office and Drug Store of
DR.. Magee, left yesterday for Louisville,
Kentucky, to attend the winter course
of lectures at the Medical University.
John is a model specimen of the Tennes-
see youth, and we wish him profitable
absence and safe return.
II. F. Cain, of Russellvllle, has return
ed from his recent trip to Kentucky,
and reports money flush in that country
compared with this. He had no difficult
ty in dispos;ng of his stock at fair prices.
1t is with pleasure we announce the
arrival of the samples for which our
clever friend r. G. Crouch. of Baltimore
has been waiting so long. They arrived
Saturday, and Robert took the western
train Monday. Although late in getting
started, Bob is the man to make up for
lost time by increased activity. Our
friends will find him prepared to please
them in his lines.
Mr.. Dan Briscoe, of the "old-reliable"
Earnest s. Briscoe, returned from the
eastern cities Monday, with invoices of
New Goods, that will require at least a
column of the GAZETTE to even partially
crumeratc.
Col. P. A. Shearer, who has been ''ab-
sent several weeks, in the interest of his
hay press, returned Sunday.
We are pleased to see on our streets
again the familiar face of our modest
young friend, Thomas B. German, who
has been absent the last five months in
the office of the Warm Springs Hotel,
where he contributed much to the good
name of that popular resort by his affa-
bility to guests and his efficiency in
pIono

Wants. I'D Get Raclx.

Eight or ten days ago, Mr.. 10. T. Gill
and Geo. Simpson had very valuable
horse stolen from them, while in the
neighborhood of Mooresburg. Pursuit
was made, and the thief was closely
pushed through the mountains for sew
eral days, and finally caught in the low
er end of Granger county. He proved
to be a man named Branson who was
convicted three years ago in Granger
county and sentenced to serve term in
the penitentiary for stealing two oxen.
He has only been back few weeks, and
stands an excellent chance of being re-
turned from Hawkins county, (where
the theft was perpetrated and to the Jail
of which he was taken after the next
term of the court.

HIS SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Geo. H. Smith, .Jeweler.

Geo. H. Smith, JeweIer.
We again call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement Of Geo. FL.
Smith, Knoxville. Attractive and beau
tiful as is his business house to the eyes
of visitor to the city il is nothing COM
pared to the grand display he makes in
side. During a recent visit to Knox
Willie we had the pleasure of look at a
few only of his many new attractions
for the trade generally and particularly
appropriate for the approaching holiday
season. His show cases presents an in
Vulnerable display OF the most choice
jewelry for ladies and gentlemen, all Of
the latest style, consisting of diamond,
pearl, amethyst, and other stone rings;
studs, sleeve buttons, in endless variety,
the oxydized goods being q new fea-
ture among them. All kinds of stone,
cameo, coral and fine gold sets. His
stock of solid silver ware-such as forks,
spoons, ETC., etc.,-cannOt be surpassed
anywhere, and only needs to be seen to
be admired. But what he prides him.
self most upon is his elegant and choice
assortment of ladies gold watches and
magnificent silver goods in cases, select
ed with an eye special for bridal and
holiday occasions. These are unsur-
passed In workmanship and quality, and
are offered at greatly reduced prices.
He has purchased his goods for cash, and
is able to offer them on terms astonish-
ingly low to those who have bought
similar goods heretofore. We cannot
enumerate the half of the many useful
and beautiful articles suitable for souv
liners of love or esteem to be found at
his establishment. Perhaps no similar
house south of the Potomac river is more
generally, and certainly none is more
favorably known than Geo. lei. Smiths;
and the secret of his success is TO be
found in the fact that from the begin
ming he has done business upon the
strictest principles of honor. The arti-
cles he furnishes are always found to be
fully up to the representations he makes
hence ne loses no customers-and the
additional fact that he literally and ju-
diciOusly advertises.

organized to purchase and improve
Hale's Springs. If this is so, we will
in a year or two have in that romantic
mountain glen from five to six hundred
visitors every summer-people with
money to spend among US. Is it posi-
BILE we are going to tell these gentlemen
not to buy that property? We do not
want them here unless they walk over
from Bulls Gap! If that property is
purchased by an energetic company and
put in first-rate order, so as to draw large
numbers of health-seekers and pleasure
seekers there every summer, who will
be benefited by itP Every man in the
county. Rogersville viii be benefited,
too, but not to the same extent as the
agricultural community.
We see a great wagon pass the window
here with eight or ten oxen drawing an
immense block of marble to the depot,
for shipment to New York. Sometimes
one block of this marble brings over five
hundred dollars into the county, and in
the course of yearsthousands Of dollars
are thus made by the county. This
money comes to us from the Eastern
cities, and is a clear gain. It is paid out
to workmen and others in our midst,
and does much good. Destroy the rail-
road and we lose all this. But we need
not pursue the subject further to-day.
We feel as if we were persuading man
not to commit suicide, or some other
equally foolish thing.

Caution.

We have for the lest three years been
sending out Sample Bottles of BoscHEE's
GERMAN SYRUP for Coughs, Colds,
Consumption, and all diseases of the
Throat and Lungs. We now ind other

little Sample Bottles contain Ether or
Chloroform, intended only to dry up a
cough for day or two. Be careful to
call for BOSCHEE'S GERMAN

ET President Wilson's girls gave us a
pleasant entertainment last Friday even
ing. The friends of the school assem-
bled in goodly numbers at 2 o'clock to
hear the girls read and sing. Taking
into consideration the fact that the young
ladies had made no preparation for
public exhibition, the performance was
really creditable to them the compo-
sitions were well written, the music was
good, and the reading of Tennyson's
g Wild Bells" in concert, very good, In
deed. Judge Barton, at the request of
Mr.. Wilson, made us a short speech. 1t
was an admirable address, and we thank
him for what he said to our people. We
hope President Wilson viii have these
quiet concerts frequently. They can do
no harm, but much good.
