-Housekeepers troubled with black
ants can, we are assured, find an. excel
lent banishing remedy by cultiYating
spearmint around the house.
Our farmers are now in the midst of
the wheat harvest. We learn from

versed and remanded the case of l.. @,
Howell VS.. the State. Howell was under
sentence of three years for swindling
Carrot Lane, Of this county, cut of $1Oos
Mai. John Murphey returned Sun
day morning from a months sojourn al
the Hot Springs, Ark. We learn that
he thinks he has been materially imprOv-
ed by the treatment he received, though
the fatigue and worry of the journey
home will keep him indoors afew days.
The important suit of Haselton VS..
OConner s. Co., for 800, 600, charged
as being due the plaintiff on account of
alleged partnership in the penitentiary
lease, was decided in Judge 4Trigg's

Napoleon b. Martin, a resident of

said to be desperate character.
The delinquent tax list of Shelby
county amounts to lightweight columns
in one OF the Memphis papers; Davidson
county is satisfied with twenty-seven
columns. A pretty sprinkling OF
healthy bonanza, we call that. Ham
blen county thinks column and quar-
ter is sufficient for her portion.
Samuel NJ. King, an ex-Deputy U.
s. Marshal, committed suicide in the
Criminal Court, at Nashville, the 9th
inst, by shooting himself in the breast.
He had been indicted for obtaining
money unGer false pretences and bound
over to court, and that is supposed to
have caused him to commit the act.
We dislike to mention business mat
tiers publicly, but then we are so we'll
satisfied that some of our friends whom
we have trusted for job work have en-
tirely forgotten the promises they made
us, that we cannot refrain from remind
ing them that job work is cash in every
office, and although money is scarce, we
need a small portion of it to pay current
expenses.
= The GAZETTE tenders its acknowl-
a large freezer full of his delicious ice
cream, accompanied by other choice and
necessary condiments. Kern's is the in
of the metropolis, and the bu-
siness palace he was forced to erect re-
Gently in order to fill the increasing de- |
mands of the public, is monument to |
the industry and unimpeachable honesty |
of the man in all business and personal |
relations, Visitors win always find |
obliging attendants of the house ready |

w eeks ago we called attention to |
the recommendation from Centennial |
headquarters that each county in the |
United States should hold meeting and |
select some one to prepare historical |
sketch to be delivered on the 4th of |
July. A number of the counties in this |
State have acted upon this recommen- |
dation, but NO action has been taken by |
the citizens of HambIen. 1t is not yet |
too late, and it is suggested that our bar |
and~citiZens generally meet next Satur- |
day at the Court House and select some |
gentlemen to address the people of this |
on the 4th inst, on subjects !
proper to be dealt with on that occasion |
We have received the Premium List |
Of the Seventh Annual Exhibition of |
the Greene county Agricultural and |
Association, to be held on |
the grounds of the Association at Greene
vile on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri |
day, Sept. %, % and 80, 1876. The list |
is large and unusually liberal one, all |
the premiums to be paid in cash. The I
Fair has been a, success annually for six /
years, and with a continuance of the /
same wise management we predict the |
coming exhibition will surpass all pre-
vious ones in merit and display. The I
Premium List contains % pages, and is |
very creditably printed by John r. Self, !

Oerior beans; and Mrs. Dan Perkey for

If the dinner we sat down to last Sun
lay, our heart goes out ia gratitude that
Jur lot is cast with such people, and
We are without envy even toward other
station preachers and circuit riders.
= In consequence of the heavy rains
asst week the French Broad and Pigeon
ivers were so swollen that the railroad
rack in the vicinity of Rankin's depot,
N the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and
Charleston road, was entirely submerged,
,ansing the train that left here Saturday
morning to return from that point, Capt.
Taylor not considering it safe to venture
the watery waste. We regret
o learn that immense damage has been
ustained by farmers along the entire
cute of the road. The waters were
higher than two years ago., and barns,
encing, and the wheat and corn of the
liver farms have been generally washed
way, leaving that industrious and hope
