We were pleased to meet Rev. Daniel
B. Carter in town Thanksgiving day.
He is favorite with us. We like his
sterling honesty of purpose and his man
ly energy of character. Mr.. Carter has
been fighting the devil for many a long
year. He has charged the strongholds
of the wicked old rascal throughout all
this noun tain region, and has defeated
him in many a pitched battle. Mr.. c.
is looking very well for man of his age
Preachers do not very often live to be
old men, but we hope he will. He is on
the retired list now, but will still preach
when the weather and his physical health
will permit. Our citizens will be graft
fed to learn that he contemplates com
ing back to Rogersville to live.

i BILLY said, he lost and stay hid!'') the
/ citizens have resorted to various expedi-
ents for keeping up the property. Twice
or three time the County Court has come
forward with liberal appropriations for
repairing the house. Many of the pub
lie spirited people have also contributed
of their private means for the same pur-
pose, and in this way the buildings have
been kept in tolerable repair. The
grounds, however, are in wretched con-
dition. The Academy occupies natur-
ally beautiful site. A small amount
of money judiciously expended in i'm
proving and enclosing the let would add
greatly to the appearance of the prop
erty. A school boys surroundings has
great deal to do with the formation of
his character. A poverty -stricken old
building, with deep red gullies all around
it, is no place for youth TO cultivate q
love for beautiful landscapes, neat homes
surrounded by bright flowers and green
lawns, on which the rich grass grows,
covering them as with smooth carpet
Now, our object in writing all this is
to bring the affairs of this old institu-
tion prominently before our people, and
to induce them to take a more lively in
terest in it than they have done for some
years past. The idea of old grandfather
Rogers evidently was, when he made the
donation of land, that school of high
grade and of much usefulness should be
established on the beautiful site selected
by himself. We, of this generation,
ought not to rest satisfied until his ex-
pectations or his hopes are fully realized.
One hundred boys and young men ought
to be attending that school to-day. Re-
Gently the County Court made an appro-
priation of four hundred dollars, and the
citizens contributed hundred or two in
addition to repair the buildings. Some
work has already been done, and, it is
to be hoped, the Trustees will soc to it
that this fund is economically and judi
ciously expended. If it has not all been
used up on the buildings the remainder
should be used in paying for lumber and
making a good, substantial fence all
around the premises.
The present teachers are good, ener-
getic, trustworthy men. Their school is
a good one. We know whereof we speak.
They deserve encouragement, and we
hope their school will soon be full. The
present session is not q failure by any
means, as we believe there are some 40
names enrolled; but this is not half
enough. There ought to be one hun
dred, and can be If all the citizens will
act cordially and industriously in con-
cert with the teachers in inducing the
people to send their sons to this school.
In conclusion we would respectfully
ask the Trustees to tell the people, if
they can tell, what has become of the
old Academy Fund. We don't like to
be troublcsome-don't like to give any
one trouble, but then we do want TO
know what has become Of that money 90

How to Judge q Town.

The Jefferson City, Missouri, J0u7n.H,
tells this, which is applicable to many
towns in the South, and especially to
Morristown or Rogersville:
About a week ago gentleman hunt
ing a new home, representing $500, 900,
in search of location in which Co en-
gage in business, gave US a card aud
after stating his mission "W est" asked
to look at our paper. We handed him
the morning Journal, and to our surprise
he did not stop to read our newsy local
pick-ups, or our attractive editorial page,
but turned at once to our advertising
columns, and commenced counting our
advertisers and measuring their space.
"Well," said he, glancing up from
the paper, is this all? Is this the bust
ness of this town."
oh, no." we said, there is the Ti5-
6uae with a few advertisements that
don't appear in the Journal"
He then counted two additional local
business advertisements in the Tribune,
and again looked up with the remark:
And that's all, is it? Why you
haven't got near as much of a town here
as l thought you had"
And then we explained to him that
we have great many business men who
do not advertise.
They are not business men to hurt
if they don't advertise" was his an
swer.
We could not contradict him and we
were powerless to vindicate the "claims
of the city"
He left us saying that if he had time
he would look around, but this was no
place for him.
This is one instance, and fact.

Hawkins County.

From the tax books of the county fol
1875, we gather the following facts.
The total number of town lots in the
county is 1S5, the assessed value OF
which in the aggregate is $113, 800.
Number of acres of land, 295, 1924; value
by the assessor, at 50, 1922 value OF
personal property, $173, $50; value of all
other property, So, 7s9; total value of all
property in the county. 81, 461, sos.
The number of taxable polls is 2,36Si
number OF dogs, 1866; number of female
CANNES, assessed at five dollars each,
1s1.
The aggregate tax levied upon the
people and property and dogs of the
county for the year, is $36, 922 26; as
follows: State tax, $9,846. AZ; county
tax, 50, SAG. ~; school tax, "a, 923. 81 /;
railroad tax, $4,92s. 21i poll and dog tax.
$6, 1890
In round numbers the taxable proper
~ Of the county is worth two and one
half millions of dollars upon which we
pay an annual tax of thirty-seven thous-
and dollars.
IN looking over the items the tax-pay-
ing reader will discover that we are pay
ing near five thousand dollars school
tax. In addition to this we presume the
poll tax and some other privilege taxes
arc to be added Be- the same fund. With
these figures staring the people in the
face, who can blame them fer complain
ing. and bitterly complaining, that they
are go heavily taxed TO support public
schools while there are scarcely any
public schools open in the countyf
We are in favor of public schools and
the free and liberal education of the
children Of al the people in the county,
but IL this thing cannot BIO placed upon
a different footing from what it has been
OF late, then we trust the next Legisla-
ture will repeal the school law entirely.
Il is great wrong inflicted upon the
people that they should be required to
pay SIX or seven thousand dollars year
for nothing.
The books for 1875 will very soon be
placed In the hands of the revenue col
lectors We know that Dir. 6tarnes and
his deputies will collect the money.
There l. no act OF the Legislature IN the
way now. They viii collect the money

direction, making inquiries as to pros

and all we say, come ahead. If you
have any money be sure to bring it with
you. Bring enough to last as long as
you expect to remain here. Since the
war Rogersville has been a good place
for newspapers to starve to death in. A
few more could meet the same fate with
out much trouble. Practical printers"

better stick to the lease" A better liv-
ing can be made in that way than in
publishing little country newspapers.
But come on with your printing offices.
