The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1877-01-17
Local Notes and Other NesCs.
= Let US love one another.

Let your speech be always with
grace.
The lofty looks of man shall be
humbled.
= We learn that the diptheria is again
raging in Nashville among the children.
So far as we are able to learn there
is but little sickness in town.
- Use hospitality one to another,
without grudging.
Dressed poultry of every descrip-
ton, exchanged hands readily, at good
/ price, last week.
= Rev. A. j. Greer, of Tazewell, was
IN town last Monday, for the purpose of
filling appointments in the pulpit.
We learn that Messrs w. H. Hous-
ton and G. Fl. Thomas, Raleigh, N. c.,
have leased the Warm Springs.
-Theo. A. SalYo requests us to say
that ne is still at his old stand, guaran-
teeing his work and executing all orders
promptly. Step in and see him
= The snow has about disappeared,
and left in its stead sufficiency of mud
and slosh to keep the pedestrians swear
ing for the next two weeks to come
The sausage mill has ceased to
| grind, consequently none are seen in
town. Turn, crankman turn and re-
lieve our famished stomachs.
Within the past two weeks our fell
low citizen, Mr.. RAIDER, has lost both
his twin children, from some disease I'M
known to us. The last one was buried
| during the latter part of last week.
We notice from eur exchanges that
a number of people were frozen in this
and other States during the recent cold
spell. We learn that an old man in one
OF the upper counties, probably Greene,
was frozen to death while asleep in bed.
= We regret to learn that last Thurs
day, while DIR. M. Carriger was entering
either his stable or smoke-house, he I'M
fortunately stumbled and fell against
a door-sill, causing his side to receive
severe bruise, from which it is feared
rib was broken.
Tom Cain, our whole-souled fellow,
has the thanks of many depot loafers for
the substantial tan-bark path he has had
made over the mud from the end of the
platform to the railroad. Tom, you will
reap a rich harvest one of these days for
your goodness.
- The constable will soon greet you
to settle that little account for taxes for
1876 Don't get alarmed, if you haven't
got the money your old hat or shirt will
do, as it's squally times and the State
must be kept running whether school
keeps or not.
- We are pleased to notice that our
worthy representatives in the Legisla-
ture from this end, Ne ssrs. Denny, Tate,
Carson and Remine, are making them
selves popular in their calling, and that
their efficiency and worth has been so
esteemed in their respective branches
of the General Assembly, as to have
placed each of them on as many COM
mlttees as any other NJ ember in the body.
Who knows now but what the Ben
net-May duel may ter inmate and blood
stain the ground at Boatman's Ridge,
before many days? They have fought
in three or four different places during
the past week with another precinct to
hear from. We predict that it will yet
end at either the abo re place or Collars.
- The time of redemption is at hand,
and those who know themselves to be
indebted to us for subscription, adver-
Using or job-work, are cordially invited
to come forward and meet us in our
sGractUna sGnctOruns, where the hand of
friendship will be extended and the
blessing pronounced. Any kind of bar
ter will be taken in exchange.
DIR. Charles Pho Fps, one of the sur
geons who participated in the late Ben
nett-May due, is now comfortably quar-
tered in Ludlow street Jail, New York,
for contempt of court, in refusing to
give the required information concern
ing the affair. Unless otherwise adjust
ed, he will remain there for thirty DAYS.
- Our appeal was not in vain last
week. We learn that barrel of sour
kraut is billed for Morristown, care of
Hill & Haynie, and in consequence of
the Dutchmen not having put in their
appearance up to date, they will not
wait longer but proceed to introduce
and sell it to our citizens at liberal pri-
ees. First there, first served.
Experience is the best teacher; and
it is now to be hoped that those of our
citizens who were so heartlessly gulled
by the wood-haulers in and about town
during the late cold spell, in being
forced to pay exhorbitant prices for in
ferior and scanty loads of wood, will re- |
member the same, act wisdom-Iike in
the future, and not get caught again in
the same predicament.
We will say, for the benefit of those
who may be suffering from coughs and
colds, that we have recently tested q
a trial bottle of cough remedy lately
by DIR. M. Carriger, of this
place, and received more instantaneous
relief than from any similar preparation
we ever before tried. The medicine
can be found at his drug store, and
trial bottle had for % cents.
We call special attention to an article
in another column headed @Home Man
1t is from the pen of an
and thoroughly business man, l
objective of the establishment in this s
various branches of indus
ry which are worthy the consideration
If liberal-minded people. We see no c
eason why some or all the suggestions
lie offers cannot be successfully accom-
,lished, with the right men at the head. 3
read his article, and weigh the matter r
