The fellow who attempted to pass the
forged order on the merchant in Morris
town last week was a swindler in more
ways than one. There is only one Jerry
Kyle known in Rogersville. He is here
now and has not been away. He Is a
black man with a family, proud of his
name, bears an excellent character and
has the respect of all the white people
of the town and county. Jerry is high
spirited fellow, and the paragraph in the
GAZETTE has troubled and amazed him
sorely. If he had hold of the counter
felt Jerry" there would not be whole
bone left in his hide. This thing, how
ever, cannot injure our Jerry. He is
too well and too favorably known as
polite, wcll-behaved man, with as many
friends as any colOred man in Hawkins
county. IL is to be hoped the rascal who
stole his pane will be captured and
punished-mOre for stealing an honest
mans name than for attempting to OBJ
tain goods on a forged order

Philadelphia, Aug. 19.-The attend

mense, this being the first day when
visitors are admitted at the half rate,
or twenty-five cents. A drilling rain
commenced early this morning and con-
tinued all the forenoon, but despite this
drawback the visitors came flocking in
from all directions and by noon there
were nearly $1,000 within the grounds.
No such attendance has ever been seen
since the 4th of July week. A piano
manufacturing company Of New York
sent 1000 employees, who marched in
with music and flags. This is an expe-
riment for which the public has long
been clamoring, and the commissioners
finally decided to try it. All are pleased
with the success Of the movement.
Next Saturday will he another cheap
day.
