ing the week just passed, we are pleased
to say that it did not interfere with our

transact their usual amount Of bnsi-
ness.
- We noticc that our young friend, /
kr. Thos. B. German, has been employ
ed by Messrs. Rowe s. Butt az book
keeper. We congratulate the firm on
securing the services of Mr.. g., as he is |
industrious, honest and capable, and |
win ever be ready to do all he can to
faithfully represent the interests of those
whom he serves.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
bushel of very superior turnips, from
the farm of w. w. Lawrence, Of Messy |
Creek. The largest ones measured TWEEN
ty-four inches in circumference. Mr.
Lawrence has several hundred bushels
to dispose of. For table use we have
not tasted their superiors. ie4A
Replying to L. L. E, we say, Yes,
Any kind of produce which we can APP
ply to family use is taken for subscrip-
ton at the market price. There are
many friends in this vicinity whom we
would be pleased to credit on account
for chickens, butter, eggs, corn, meal,
wheat, etc. All we ask is a fair count
We call attention to the advertise
ment in another column headed Want

heartily endorse the applicant as being

the lady are unquestionable.
Another newspaper deadt The
Messy Greek Lancet has expired. Peace
to it's ashes. We condole with Bros.
Owens and Frame in this terrible calami-
ty, and trust they win profit by the fact
that country papers are dynamic in
their organization and liable at any time
to explode.
- Our town was all a-gog last Sunday
morning upon finding that the Knoxville
dailies had not arrived. Everybody was
on the q1ti Cie to learn the latest news re-
garding the situation. One Chronicle
was found however, about noon, and
the Tribune arrived by the evening mail,
and then everybody was happy.
= Last Saturday night, some mis-
chevious rascal or rascals maliciously
took the lamp in front of Mr.. Dickinson's
hotel, after everybody had retired for
the night, and broke it on the street
The villains ought to be ferretted out
and condign punishment melted them
according to their deserts. 1t was a
mean dastardly trick.
The GAZETTE last week received u
contribution from the pen of Col. s. d.
Williams, of Messy Creek, that it values
higher than it can command languagein
this brevity adequately to express. 1t
consisted of pair of thoroughbred
Berkshire pigs, the male three months
old and the female two-the loveliest an
finals of the specles in Hamblen county,
if indeed they have peers in the State.
Tomorrow, (Thanksgiving-day) we
hope, may be a day happily and profit
ably spent by our people, in which they
ought to bow their heads in deep graft
tude to the Almighty for the many.
comforts and blessings that He has bes-,
towed upon them. If for nothing else
they should feel thankful for their lives,
and resolve to be better Christians and
more worthy and useful members of
society.
We had q call last Saturday from
Mr. CIotworthy, one of the proprietors
of the Knoxville Soap Company, whose
advertisement has appeared in our pa
per for several weeks. In calling atten-
ton to the advertisement, we merely
suggest the usefulness of such a manu-
factory in our vicinity, with the assur-
ance that its products are regarded as
the best on the marFet by those who
have given them orders.
"A postal card from our esteemed
fellow 'countyman, Maj. A. III. Tarr, last
Saturday, communicates tfe sad intelli-
gence of the death of his daughter, Mrs.
Fleming Cooley, of consumption, that
day at her residence in Knoxville. She
was inferred at Knoxville Sunday even
ing. Our tears mingle with those of the
bereaved father and husband. But in
the sad event, let her friends behold the
hand of God. and by emulating her
Christian virtues, regain her society in
Heaven.
"A we'll known countryman, who
voted for Hayes, remarked to us last Fri
day "that although he was Republican
and had voted that ticket in the last cleo
tior, he believed Tilden to be honestly
elected, and if so proven, wanted to see
him inaugurated President" This gem
tleman is correct, and further. he is not
alone. in his views of the present politi-
cal crisis, but has the opinions Of at least
two-thirds of the Republicans them
selves if they win only admit the TRUTH.
- Let politics wag as they may, but
our laboring people should bear in mind
that such does not bring them their dali
ly bread. Those that can and win work
should do SO by all means. There are
now in New York city, according to the
World, not less than twenty-five thou
sand tramps without employment. The
fact is, a great many won't work, rather
preferring to sponge off of the honest
and toiling masses, Too many unoccu-
pied fields lay before their eyes, to as
sert that there is no work for them. Let
them turn their hands to the filling of
the soil and they viii not want bread
or anything else.
Late te1egraphic dispatches state
the massing of troops at the National
Capital. Many regiments of infantry |
hayo been collected there with others
