An obituary of M. A. Roadman,

ceived too late for publication this week
1t will appear in our next.
Our young friend, Frank Stubblefeld,
with his usual urbanity as salesman, Is
again at his post, showing no very Sc

our young friend VIM. s. Shields, of
Granger county. is on our third page.
- Fowler Morris, of Bridgeport, in
the county of Cooke, than whom no one

- Hon. s. A. Burnett, the modest but
careful and efficient Representative from

spent a day in our town last week, and
gave us pleasant call.
- Several of our young men have
been confined in bed during the last ten
days with measles. But by using pre-
caution, nearly all we believe, are pro-
nounced conyalescent.
The congregation of Rev. N. Keff
Smith, at Bolivar, Tenn, welcomed him
and his bride with a handsome Christ

have the satisfaction of making money,
but that of comforting a great favor upon
all who purchase.
We miss the smiling, familiar face
of our warm friend, John Smith, who
lies Frustrated in bed from a severe at
tack of rheumatism. We hope, however,
the present bright and beautiful weather
may act as healing balm and restore
him to his usual health.
The announcement of Col. ]. A.
Baker as candidate for Sheriff of Ham
blen county is published to-day. He has
long been acting as deputy Sheriff, and
so far as we are Informed is honest, faith
full and competent. He understands the
business of the office, and is efficient and
polite. If elected he viii make a good
officer.
We hear of the blooming out of
several peach trees in the vicinity of our
town during last week. It is fortunate
thing for East Tennessee that the mild

probability, the entire fruit crop would
have been a failure. Even as it is, the
chances at present are against the fruit
growers.
- Capt H. c. Helm returned from
his trip to the Improvement Convention
at Washington last Thursday. He gave
the Committee on Commerce some valu-
bic information about the condition and
wants of the Tennessee river and its tri-
butaries. Capt. III. met at this place the
announcement of the Knoxville papers
that he had sold the steamer Harry Helm,
and requested us to contradict the story.
= The unusual amount of sickness in
our midst has been occasioned by tn
unprecedent changes in the weather of
late and just such weather as we had
last week always leaves the mark upon
persons suffering from lung diseases or
bronchial affections. To such we say,
avoid exposure at such times as much as
possible, and you may escape diseases
that might otherwise prove fatal.
We are glad to hear that Mr.. j. E.
Hodges, one of Morristown's most ener-
getic citizens, is to-day pronounced con-
valescent, and with careful nursing and
close attention, will recover from his
recent severe attack of typhoidpneumo-
mia. DR.. Hicks, a practising physician
Of Bristol, has beer in attendance on
the invalid, and we hear he considers his
patient out of immediate danger.
= We regret very much to hear of
the serious Illness of Mrs. DIR. Nelson,
of our town, who, we understand, has
been suffering on bed of affliction for
several weeks past. She has every at
tention that can be bestowed upon her,
and we trust, with kind nursing and the
medical skill of her husband, she may
shortly recuperate from her present
condition.
, The Lodge of G God Templars in this
town will have, we learn, a public in
stallation of officers next Monday night,
and win be glad to have a full attend
ence upon the ceremonies of the occas-
ion. Besides the installation, there will
be appropriate music and other exercises
both edifying and interesting. Let our
citizens encourage such an effort on the
part of these workers in the Temper
ance cause.
= Morristown can boast of a prodigy
in the way of learning. She is a child
of one of our citizens, is six years of
age, studying French. She is exceed
ingly bright in other studies, leading
one to stand in amazement and admira-
ton at beholding such intellect on the
part of one, as yet, only q child. We
note this as one of the wonders for the
Centennial year of American Independ-
cnce.
Again the sad duty devclves upon
us of recording the death of one OF
Morristown's most respectable citizens.
DIR. 7. FL. Dali, by profession dentist,
was taken sick about ten days ago, with
symptoms which soon developed his dis
ease to be typhoid pneumonia. Medical
skill was at once employed, bat death
hadsset his seal upcn the sufferer, and
growing rapidly worse he died without
struggle last Saturday morning. The
funeral of the deceased was preached at
the Methodist Church Sunday afternoon
by Rev. w. II. Smith, of the Presby-
terrain Church, assisted by Rev. G.. T.
Carol, of the former Church. His re-
mains were inferred in the Morristown.
cemetery by the side of bis wife. De-
