= No intelligent man can do without
paper this year The President, Gov
ernor, Congressman, and Legislative and
county officers are to be elected. Every
man should take THE MoRRIsrowN GA
zErTE to keep fully posted on current
events. Let our friends do their duty,
and our subscription list can be further
enlarged, and justify not only faster
and better press, but an enlargement of
the paper.
- A recent Washington special says
that the Republican Senators have con-
CURED over the bill to restore persons
stricken from the pension rolls for dis
loyalty. They agreed, as the bill allow
ed the payment of arrearages for four
teen or fifteen years, amounting to sew
eral millions of dollars, it ought not to
pass in the present condition of the trea-
sury. This action will defeat the bill.
- We are glad "Authropos" comes to
us anonymously. We can with the less
pain to oSs tender heart transfer it to
the waste basket or to the jurisdiction
of either the editor Of the Baptist Retec-
tor, at this place, or the i2oLst0n Methodist, |
at Knoxville, Whose more especial pro-
vince it is to keep alive the interm;nable
and abominable wrangle about Baptism, |
as the writer may direct The GAZETTE,
without intending disrespect to either
side in the proposed discussion at Messy
Creek, will publish no communication |
favoring or opposing it, free of charge. |
There does seem to be some method /
in the generosity of our Middle and
West Tennessee friends Keep an eye
on them, brother Helms. We have a |
vidette on the point of Lookout who is |
also watching the situation. Chat |
Times.
That was our impression but the tar
diness with which your vidette announc-
ced the approach of the enemy made
US fearful for the time that he was asleep /,
on his horse, and didn't propose to fight !
a flank movement.
- The Knoxville dye comes to us en- !
larged to twenty-four column paper, |
and corresponding reduction made in
the subscription and advertising rates.
1t is handsomely printed and spirited |
sheet, whose conductors depend more
for permanent success upon personal in
dustry and good management than upon
reserved capital or political patronage.
That it is now a permanent enterprise /
we are assured by the proprietors, and |
we very sincerely wish them long and
prosperous voyage.
We call particular attention tn the
new advertisement of Hu. L. NcClung
& Co., Knoxville. The Individual mem
bers of the firm have so long been iden-
titled with the business of Knoxville,
and are so generally and favorably &C
quainted throughout East Tennessee, it
is unnecessary TO give assurances of their
solidity as a house or their integrity in
all business transactions. They are large
dealers, also, in all kinds of Agricultur-
al Implements and Field Seeds, to which
we invite the attention of our readers.
= George Grey Latta, Esq, of Hot
Springs, Ark, and Miss Fanny Brown
low, third daughter of ex-senator Brown
low, were married in st. Johns Episco-
pal Church, Knoxville, the 29th inst,
and and are now settled in their western
home. We send after our young friends
the sincere invocation that their union
may be happy one. AS we write this,
Dur memory is softcned by the recollec-
Of hoT1 L
Fanny, the bright, loveable girl-child,
the favorite of all who knew hcr-and
think of her now, the cynosure of all
al eyes, the modest, happy bride. For
tunate is the gallant groom who has won
her to his side. May he in his heart
ever worthily wear her.
= At Lebanon, Tenn, the night of
the 9th, twenty-five or fifty armed men
went to the Jail and demanded the keys
from the Tailor, which he refused them
The jailor's wife fearing that they would
kill her husband delivered up the keys
The TAILOR had threatened to kill any one
who attempted to enter the front door
which he defended. The mob broke in
10 the rear and took from his cell Porter
Williamson, colored, one of the alleged
nurderers of Robert Hamilton, whose
place Williamson and another colored
nan named Beggarly went to rob about
/ year ago. They carried him one and
4 half miles from the Jail, hung and shot
him, and left him hanging by the side
IF the road. The parties were not dis
yuised.
- The revival at the Methodist and
Baptist Churches in this place still pro-
SEES to be attended by more glorious re
ults than has ever been achieved at any
previous revival at that sanctuary.
2evs. John Boring and G. T. Carroll are
conducting the services, assisted by Rev.
". III. Smith, of the Presbyterian Church.
Fhe anxious seat has been crowded for
he past few nights with poor mourning
ouls, praying to be made glad by the
light of Gods countenance shining on
heir future life. Up to this writing
wenty souls have been made to realize
he precious promises of Jesus Christ
At the Baptist Church the interest is un-
with Revs. Mr.. Evans, pastor,
md o. G. Pope conducting the meeting.
Ten persons have been received into the
Church and baptized. At the colored
Baptist Church we learn that the altar
S thronged to its fullest capacity night
y. In fact, Morristown is being shaken
IS 1t were from center TO circumference
W the power of our Divine Master. FL
Ter Boring said that in calculation
made last Wednesday night one-twelfth
# the inhabitants of the town were
,owed at Gods altar for prayer. The
