of their spring and summer goods,
The weather was quite changeabie
last week. One day being bright and
lovely and the next cloudy and windy.
March is here, blowing, clustering
and storming. A fussy, bad-tempered
cid month is March.
The Sparty Iades brings forward Gen.
Geo. G. Dibrell as its choice for next
Governor of Tennessee. Pull down
your vest and give us a rest, on politics.
We learn that a minstrel troupe, or
ganized at Knoxville, will give per-
Torrance in this place the last of this
week, or the first of next.
Yes, she was plump and beautiful, and
he was wildly fond of her. She hated
him intensely, but woman like, she
strove to capture him. He was fieal
Rue-the-fraud B. Hayes will appoint
the pOst-masters and whisky gaugers for
the next four years Four years will
soon roll around. The Democrats can
wait Til-den.
We understand from some of our city
physicians that the health of Hamblen
county is very good. That there has
been but little sickness for consid-
cradle time, and deaths have been very
few during the past severe winter.
We Calculate" as Jim White says,
that bucketful of turnip greens just
now, would be bought so quickly, if
such thing should happen to be offered
for sale, that it would make the purvey-
or's head swim to realize the alacrity of
the transaction.
An election was held in the fourth dis
trict of Hamblen county, last Saturday,
for Constable, to fill vacancy. Two
Democrats and one Republican were the
candidates Foster Mays, the Republi-
can candidate, was elected by votes.
The we'll displayed card of Cowan,
McClung s. Co., Knoxville, VIII attract
attention in to-day's paper. They are
extensive advertisers and do a tremend-
Gus large business. They are now in re-
ceipt of their spring stock of Dry Goods,

ing the legal department of the Nash
Vile Commercial and Legal Reporter, has
severed his connection with that journal
and is succeeded by Jere Baxter, an
able lawyer of the Nashville bar. We
recommend the Reporter to the legal fra

What has become of the Morristown
Brass Band? Two years ago we had a
tirst-class one, but we never hear any
thing of it now-and have not for months.
1t used to be real treat to hear band
music. Come, boys, organize again, for
spring is here, and the little birds begin
to make music
Some scalawag broke open the GA
zETTE's cellar door one night last week,
where we keep our coal We do not
know whether anything was carried
away, or not, but know that if it is prac-
tised any more, the party may have an
inclination to hunt fer the man that
struck the glycerine can with a sIedge
hammer.
A bill has passed its third reading be-
fore the House at Nashville, which bill
provides that it shall be a misdemeanor
to permit minors to play on pubic bill

We never whine about anything. Let
us all take cheerful view of the future
and hope for the best. Hayes cannot
damage the country much in four years

McNelly, of the Cleveland Banner, has
this to say about the Knoxville Chronicles
bird: The Commission cast the vote of |
Oregon for the Republicans, and there

icle, brought out his old buzzard, puk-

good deal of rottenness about when
buzzard throws up.
A few evenings since a certain |
young man went to spend the evening |
with his affianced. During the evening
he told few stories and called them |
tales. The lady reproved him and told
him he should say anecdotes. After |
a short time he went out to see his horse. |
When he returned she asked him how
his horse was getting along. "Oh," he
said, "he's all right, only the calves have
chewed off his anecdote."

Our people should not be discouraged |
on account of the dull times Money is
scarce, it is true, and it is very useful |
but our people have good
reason to cheer ups. Notwithstanding the
scarcity of money. OF everything that
money there is no lack
in this section, and at the end of anoth-
