the two paternal ancestors rods up.
When these came, they went to the front
part of the ferry boat, leaving the girl,
and the aforesaid young men, ins.the rear
end. When the boat came to the other
shore, the dads led their horses out on
the bank, therefore the boat suddenly
began to recede; the young men pulled
the oars with might and main, and when
those two on the shore looked around,
they saw the boat several feet from
them. AS matter of course, they were
sold, but they could do nothing but look
and pronounce maledietions upon the
offending party. The young man
brought his bonnie lassie" back TO St.
Clair. By this time he had gotten
enough money to buy his license, and
on the selfsame day, he started en- route
for Morristown. He said that if any
thing prevented his getting married in
that town, he intended to start immedi-
ately to Newport, where he knew moth

Sale of a WAGERING Place.

We learn that Judge L. +. Gillen-
waters has purchased the valuable and
famous property in Hawkins county,
known as Hale's Springs. We are not
informed as to the price paid for the es-
tate, but are informed that the Judge
contemplates spending five thousand
dollars there this spring and summer in
building cottages and otherwise improv-
ing and identifying the property. Ar
Engagements will be made if possible, to
accommodate five hundred persons there
the coming summer.
Capt Richard F. Powell has leased the
property for five years. The Captain is
too well known throughout East Ten
nessee and the whole South to make it
necessary for us to say anything in his
favor. He has had charge of the Springs
for the last three years, and even with
the limited means at his command and
the poor cabins into which he had To
store his guests he has made many
friends and given universal satisfaction

eral expenditure which he at present
contemplates, these Springs will soon he

eE- We call special attention to the
communication Of "Huon, of Hawkins, "
which appears in the GAZETTE of this
week The letter is from n practical
and intelligent farmer and stock-raiser,
one who k~ows exactly what he is talk
ing about and fully competent to give
his neighbOrs wholesome advice. The
rearing of cattle and sheep, horses and
mules is perhaps the most profitable, as
il certainly is the most pleasant and
agreeable pursuit the people of East
Tennessee can engage in. Our friend
and correspondent thinks the raising of
fine cattle will prove more remunerative
here than in Kentucky, and he produces
facts and figures to back his judgment.
Our mountains and ridges will make
the finest sheep pastures IN the world,
while the river bottoms and lOw-landS
will produce grain a,'d grass sufficient
to raise and fatten millions of cattle.
We hope our enterprising people will
pay more attention TO this kind of stock .
and that in a very few years Hawkins
county will be full of fine, pure blOOded
animals

Johns OpDOrtunity.

"There is a tide in the affairs of men,
which, if taken at the flood, leads on 10
fortune" 4 young man of good hab-
its, honorable instincts and fair talent,
was elected to represent Hawkins coun-
ty in the last Tennessee Legislature.
He made an industrious, attentive mem
Der of the House, and gained the conf
dence and respect of ali his fellow-mem-
bers. But that Legislature, in its wis
dom or something else, passed law tax
ing each male dog in the State one dol
lar and each female dog five dollars, and
Mr.. John Starnes, the gentleman to
whom we alIude, voted for that law. A
storm of opposition has been raised in
opposition to that dog law throughout
this county. 1t may be true that great
many of the people quietly approve of
it, but they say little or nothing, while
those who oppose il, are fierce and noisy
in their denunciation Of those who pass
ed it. And now if our young represen-
tative succombs to this storm-if he
knocks under, and silently surrenders
without a fight in his own defense, as a
public man, he is lost, swamped and set
aside. If on the other hand, he boldly
and fearlessly shoulders the response
bility, appeals to the whole people of
the county to sustain him-bringing out
all the facts bearing upon this question,
he may not win, but he will stand be-
fore his constituents in such a light as
may bring him to the top of the politi-
cal ladder after while.
If Andrew Johnson had quietly sur
rendered when Brookins Campbell de-
feated him for the Senate forty years
ago, he would never have been Cover
nor, Senator and President. Andy al
ways believed he was right, he believed
in the native honesty and liberality of
the people, and he possessed indomita-
BILE, unconqucrabIe courage, and he won.
And now, who knows but what this is
Johns Opportunitys Suppose he was to
buckle on his armor this summer and
make hold, fearless fight for the peO-
pie against the dogs and the demagogues
Who knows hut what it would prove
the stepping stone which would finally
raise him to u position of prominence
and great usefulness? We are not for
condemning Mr.. Starnes without n fair
hearing, and we do not think the people
of Hawkins county are willing to put
down and trample upon an honest pub
lie servant without just cause.

We will attempt to give you some

a young man, having eloped with
young lady from Choptack, came TO this

he arrived here he found he had not
money enough to buy his license; so
at about IL O'Clock p. m, (when the
good people of this village are generally

out, together with some of his COM
rades, with view of borrowing some
money. They went to several places,
and awakened at each place ''the good
old man of the house. They told, in
substance, the following tale: There's
Teller with US that's brought gal over
here, and he wants to get married; we
would like TO borrow the money of you
TO buy the license; the Teller would not
miss the chance of marrying for five
hundred dollars" etc. Some how, all
the people of St. Clair were, on that
night, Just out of change" and he fail

A Poor Politician and a Worse
Doctor,


Political communications seeking pub
LEGATION through the columns of the GA
zETTE must in all cases be addressed to
John E. Helms, Esq. The Hawkins
County Department has neither the
space or the inclination to join in the
coming political wrangle. What little
we say in regard to the elections will be
addressed to one party as well as to the
other, and that little is-chOose good,
sensible, honest, upright men rs candi-
dates. Leave selfish demagogucs and
scnseless blatherskitcs at home. Have
nothing to do with any plagued vagrant
who spends the whole summer Cabling
over the country begging votes as a
starved pauper begs bread and old
clothes. Elect Independent, honorable
men to the Senate, to the House, and To
Congress and then your duty as voters
is done.
It seems to us that politics of late is
running at very low cbb. No great
measures are presented to the people for
their action. Elections are only mis-
Those politicians arc very like gang Of
hungry hogs fighting over p tub of slOp
a few fat fellows are III the tub, feet
and all, and the entire gang outside are
squcaling, roofing, roaring, biting, fight
ing to get them out so that they can get
in. 1t is high time that the people of
the country were looking u little into
this thing, and rcbuking the hungry
pack who only want the offices of honor
and trust in the country, that they may
fill their remorseless maws from the
pockets of the working people.
If the people would attend to their po-
litical interests with the same common
sense prudence that they attend to their
ordinary business, the affairs of our
country would soon change for the bet
ter. If you have lawsuit you employ
q lawyer; if sick, you send for doctor;
if barefootcd, you go to- the shoemaker;
if you want grain or meat, you go to the
farmer; but, when you want laws made,
you, nine times out of ten, choose
some one almost entirely unqualified to
perform the duties required. We do MOI
mean to say that professional lawyers
are the only persons fit for Legislators,
but we do mean that our lawmakers
should be men of experience, sound
sense, good education, and above all,
men of integrity and incOrruptible
honor.
If the Executive Committee of the
Democratic party is not fixed up to suit
all the people, we are of course very
sorry, as we are always sorry for people
when they are in trouble, but then the
columns of newspaper is poor place
for their troubles to- be cured, and we
are a wonderfully poor doctor to call on
in a case of this kind. If the Democrat
ic party is sick, you had better not call
ON as to physic tive might Kill the
patient. So please send all political let
tiers down TO Doctor Helms. He is a
lifelong Democrat, and much better
doctor than the fellow that runs the
Hawkins County Department.
