ginger tea.
- Says the Messy Greek Lancet, 1.-THE
stock show this fall promises to be one
of the best, if not the best, that has been
in East Tennessee since the war And
adds, 1--WE are reliably informed that the
short-horn herd of James T. and W.
Shields, of Granger county, win be on
exhibition.
= We neglected in our last issue to
note the appearance of new candidate
for public patronage-The Staadtsrd-a
live and most ably edited weekly news
paper recently started at Abingdon, Va.
The STANDARD is seven column, four
page paper, printed upon new type, i'm
preston excellent, well filled with new
sy items and the general typographical
makeup is executed with the highest
taste of the art. Edited by Messrs Coale
and Harris. We wish the STANDARD sue
cess, and are highly pleased with the
standard-bearers it carries at its mast
head.
= 1t is surprising to see the business
dispatched in day by Messrs. McNulty,
George & Hall, at Knoxville. Men, wo
men and children GO in and out their
store all day long, carrying with them
great bundles of goods purchased. The
reason is, the gentlemanly proprietols
and clerks are always in the humor for
a trade, and trade thew will if any one
calls on them with that intent, for being
determined not to let sale escape they
knock down goods at astounding low
figures and give satisfaction to every
person patronizing them
= From good authority we learn that
not less than six couples of the town and
county will Glitch together sometime
/ this fall, If any old bachelor should
happen to freeze-up this winter he can
not blame the wumen-folks. Now is
the time to secure your bed-fellow.
Hon. L, FL. Denny, Senatorial NOM
inee from Sullivan, we learn with pleas
ure is receiving the most satisfactory
encouragement from his friends and is
making a vigorous canvass. He is q
gentleman of unimpeachable character,
with an eye to the interests Of the peo-
| pie whom he represents, and should he
| be successful and elected to the Senate,
which we doubt not that he will, we
venture to say that never in the history
of the Tennessee Senate did any mem
Der thereof give more satisfaction than
Major Denny will, and his constituents
will learn the truthfulnesS of the state
ment if they but be fortunate to send
him there.
= Ex-Gov. Harris's speech at Gallatin.
last Friday, will be published in next
weeks GAZETTE, and will no doubt be
read with a great deal of interest by our
readers on account of the full explana-
ton of his connection with the Bank of
Tennessee. 1t is complete vindication
of himself, if he needed any vindica-
ton, against ISLANDERS which were never
believed by his own people. The
speeches of Gov. Harris are able and
conservative, and this one leaves no
point for even SANDER to fasten upon.
= The new postal law allows a person
in sending a newspaper to write his or
her name upon the wrapper, and also
the word from, F" to let the party receiv-

feet and gained the General many votes.
= Oliver Cobb, colored man former
ly of Knoxville, was shot and killed the
23d ultimo, by Charles Phillips, a COM
rade, on the Cincinnati Southern Rail-
road.
The Democrats, and no small mum
Der of the Republicans of this county,
are going to poll their votes square out
on the Democratic ticket in November
without the crossing of single name.
= The most exciting and momentous
occasion that ever transpired in the his
tor of Williamson county-and it Is said
even eclipsed anything Of the kind that
ever happened in the State-occurred at
Franklin Tuesday, the Goth inst, in the
shape of grand and imposing barbecue.
Not less than 5000 people were present.
and all had enough to eat with plenty to
spare. A general disposition was chosen
to make every one comfortable, and
great good feeling permeated the whole
assemblage. Governor Porter made a
stirring and patriotic speech, and seem
ed to have been specially aroused on the
occasion, and is said to have spoken bet
ter and with far more zeal than ever be-
fore in his life. At tho conclusion of
his speech, short but timely addresses
were delivered by Senator Key, ex-Gov.
Harris, Hon. John NJ Bright and Hon.
w. C. WhItthorne.
- Died at his fathers residence, near
Mooresburg, Tennessee, Sabbath morn
ing oath ult., Prof. r. 8, Bassett, late of
this place, The deceased was for
number of years pupil of Rev. A. W.
Wilson. He had taught with consider
able success at SeviervIlle, Tenn, and,
about year ago, became connected
with the Reagan High School, as Asso-
ciate Principal. While filling this posi-
ton he was attacked by measles which
affected his throat and lungs to such an
extent that he fell victim to that dread
disease, consumption. His soul was the
seat of honor; his life was the embodi-
ment of determination. He bore all his
sufferings and disappointments without
complaint. He saw his hopes and aspir-
ations, so far as earth is concerned, all
blighted, yet he uttered not q murmur.
He passed through the world SO quietly
and m obesity as to attract less attention
