JONESBOROUGH.

Jonesboro', is the oldest town in the
State Of Tennessee, and was its first
capitol. The session of the Supreme
Court was held here. In it's rough
unsightly log structure dedicated to
Justice, Andrew Jackson laid the
foundation of his illustrations career
IS ajurist. In fact, it was here that
the "Hero ofthe Hermitage" first man
ifested those traits of moral worth
which illustrated his character from
humble station to the Presidency of the
Republic. The history of the town is
full of interesting memories and
glorious recollections.
1t has enjoyed, in the past, no mean
reputation for the excellence Of its
schools, its social elegance and refine
ment, and the intelligence and enter.
prise of its people. At n time, the
brightest legal lights of the State were
found among its local practitioners.
The old town has a brilliant fame and
a noble record.
Jonesboro', is the County seat of
Washington County. situated on the
L. T. Va, & Ga, Rail ROAD, one huns
dred miles east of Knoxville, anO on
air line about twenty miles from
Virginia, and fifteen miles from the
North Carolina boundaries, nesting
amid the hills, framed in landscapes OF
surprising loneliness. whilst to the
south rise the lofty attitudes of the
Alleghannies with their crowns of per-
petual green, its situation is romantic.
beautiful and picturesque. We doubt
