The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1876-06-28

We are passing a handsome Cata-
logue of Morristown Female High School
through the press. Any one wishing
copy can be accommodated by applying
to the Principals, Summers &Lowry
Parents would do well to acquaint
themselves with the advantages offered
by this School. We know of none
better in East Tennessee.
The last number of the Jonesboro'
Herald and Tribune is enthusiastic over a
4th Of July celebration, and displays a
column and half of matter in regard to
the same, preparatory for big doings on
the occasion. All the surplus old Mexi-
can veterans that are left scattered in
the hills, hollows and hamlets through
out East Tennessee are especially invited
! to attend, as the old flag that was car
ried by some of them will be unfurled
for public inspection on that day.
= During the recent Commencement
of Martha Washington Female College,
Prof. G. E. Dillworth, the popular Prin-
cipal of the Music Department of Nor
ristown Female High School, without
his knowledge or consent, came within
one vote of bein elected to the Depart
ment of Music of that Institution. We
thank the Joint Board for their compli-
ment to our townsman, but are still
more thankful that Morristown retains
the services and moral influence of the
Professor.
-Weems, the Greene county wife
murderer, is still at large, and the prob
ability is that he is already beyond the
reach of the just vengeance of an out
ragged community. He had wife liv-
ing in Texas, it was said young man
named Fry having known him there and
being aware of the fact. He was recog-
nized by Mr.. Fry at Greeneville, but de-
MED his identity at the time, though sub
sequently admitting the fact to a friend.
-Kn0eUiHe Tribune.
Glowing handbills, descriptive of Mr..
Weems, are now circulated throughout
this portion of the State, and many dis
tributed in North Carolina, Virginia and
Kentucky.
We understand that the young Ia
dies and gentlemen of MorristOwn have
agreed upon to have Grand Centennial
Calico Picnic at the Cold Springs Satur
day next. The ladies, we are informed,
are all to be dressed in calico suits, and
the gentlemen in calico shirts and era
vats A Tournament is also spoken of,
to come off at the same time and place,
as portion of the days programme.
We bespeak for the occasion a full at
tendance of our citizens, as fun and en-
Joy IllCub W III NC bllC OtOOt VI bAiC
The public generally are invited to be
on hand and participate in the pleasures
of the occasion, but do not forget to
take well-filled basket of provision, as
plenty of eatibles are absolutely neces-
sary to make the Picnic success.
Mr.. Joseph E. Crane, formerly of
Caldwell, New Jersey, died at his resi-
dence ene-half mile from town, Friday
evening last, fifteen minutes before z
o'clock, from brain fever. Mr.. Crane
came to Morristown from Knoxville,
Tenn, January LIST, 1872, and about two
years afterward married Miss Anna
Sears, daughter of Mrs. Mary Sears, of
this place. AS quiet and industrious
citizen, his daily actions exemplified
the same. He had been married the
space of two years, though during that
time he had shown himself devoted
husband and an excellent proVider for
his family. By his industrious pursuits
in life he has accumulated some prop
erty, of which is nice house and lot in
town, besides a neat though unpreten-
tious house with a number of acres of
land on the outskirts of town. He was
aged about 90 years. He leaves a wife
and young child aged six weeks He
was a member of the Presbyterian
Church. Our sympathies are united
with his bereaved family and parents.
Ills remains were inferred at Liberty
Hill Sunday noon.
