To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
We have had some fine meetings
in old Collar. Our Baptist friends
had meeting at KidwelPs Ridge
that continued for about fifteen days,
and resulted in several conversions.
The AIethodists are having q fine
meeting at Ivy Church at this time.
Both branches of the Church are re-
presented. This is the way things
should go on We hope for gloriE
Gus work of reformation in Old Collar.
= Our citizens are beginniag to talk
about the county elections. We hear
of some candidates fer Sheriff.
The most of the magistrates term
of office expire next August. We
think we have a tolerablyg respecta-
bic County Court, but it could be
made better. We notice that some
of them occasionally take on an over
supply OF pop-skulli before they go
to the Court House. and we have
seen such, when they getto the door,
take a running shoot across the,
room to their seats to keep from
staggering. Of course these are ex-
ceptions. Some of our magistrates
are the best men of the county. We
only hope that the people of Ham
oleh will-look to their interest in this
matter, and elect only the best men.
