The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1877-06-20


A correspondent of the New
York Tribune, who is now vending
his way homeward after a tour Of
the South, writing from Southwestern
Georgia, represents the condition of
the negro in that State as much
better than that of the colored PEG.
pie in South Carolina, and attributes
it to the fact that Georgia has been
longer under the dominance of the
intelligence Of the State. In his
opinion, twice as many negroes own
real estate in Georgia as they do in
South Carolina, and all this is owing
to their having, as a rule, dropped
politics and gone to work in dead
earnest. He admits that practically
they are disfranchised, but believes
the community is gamer thereby
after all. He adds that this does
not conduce to the election of Re-
publican Presidents, out it affords
tolerably good local government, and
is better for the blacks as we'll as the
whites than the corruption and
vioIenee attendant upon negro and
carpet-bag rule.

EOwing to the exniration ofsom.

~Owing to the expiration of some
of the patents of the sewing-machine,
industrious housewives and poor
sewing can get that useful
implement for about half the prices
paid hitherto. The New York Herald
has been making inquiries am ong
the manufacturers and learns that the
Wilcox & Gibbs machines are re-
duced from fifty dollars to twenty
five dollars; the Domestic from
seventy dollars to fifty dollars; the
Singer to one-half the former prices !;
the Howe from sixty dollars to thirty
dollars. 1t must be understood that
it is not the whole of the patents
that have ceased to exist; besides
patents on machines as a whole, there
were patents on individual parts,
some of which are still operative.
The above statement, however, is
sufficient to show that sewing
machines are now within reach Of
many who, up to this time, have
been unable to purchase them.

Mr.. G. E. CarrIger, of this vicinity,
brought to our Office few days ago
head of Tappahannock wheat yielding six
grains to the mesh and eighty-nine grains
to the head. He has of this variety
about twelve acres which he thinks will
turn out twelve bushels to the acre. Mr..
Carriger differs from the opinion Of the
farmer we quoted last week as to wheat
crop OF Rambler county. Ee has been
a close observer of the crop, and is sat
isfied there will be an average yield.
Wheat is ripening rapidly, and he says
there has been no better filing since
1853, and that the superior filing VIII
make up the deficiency in acreage and
stand. We trust Mr.. Carriger is correct.
A big wheat crop would help our farm
ers and enable them to help great many
who are not farmers. We hope to see
lively commerce in cereals this fall.
But how many Of our farmers can ex-

Teachers Meeting.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
According to promise I write you
short notice of the proceedings of the
Hamblen County Teachers Institute,
which met 10 Morristown, June 18th and
18TH
The meeting was called to order on
Friday morning by the County Superin-
tendent, and the day spent in model re-
citations, class-drill and discussion of
methods. The teachers present seemed
to have come for the purpose of getting
all the benefit that could be derived from
such an interchange of plans and me-
thods, and engaged in the exercises with
considerable spirit. The question arose
in the Grammar class as to whether
gelpder was q property of the na1fP or the
thing named. Both sides lad it's adj.
vocates, and the discussion ended, as
such discussions generally do, by leav-
ing each one in the belief he had enter
tanned at first. The second day was
spent in pretty much the same manner
as the first, in class drill, the discussion
of methods, why's and wherefores, etc.
Prof. A. w. Wilson, of Rogersville,I was
present portion CT the time, and con-
Quoted some of the classes. Before the
meeting closed resolutions were adopt
ed expressing the sorrow of the teachers
of Hamhlen county for the death Of
their beloved and much esteemed fellow
teacher, John FL. Riggs. The meeting
was altogether a pleasant one, and the
teachers who were present were un-
doubtedly benefited by it. The follow
ing teachers were present: James Nc

The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1877-06-20

A fatal affair occurred in the fourth
district of this county, on the 18th inst,
between VIM. Perkey and Catherine
Ivey, step-daughter of Perkey's, which
terminated in the death of Perkey from
a blow delivered on the side of his head
with an iron poker, by his step daugh
ter. The cause of the fracas was a fam :
lily dispute, as we understand, and had
engender bad feelings between the step
father and daughtoF. Perkey and his
step-daughter were alone in the house
on the above named instant and resumed
the old fudge until it reached such a
pitch that Perkey slapped his step-daugh-
ter in the face, whereupon she immedi-
ately seized the iron poker and struck
him q severe blow across the head which
fell him instantly, and, which resulted
in his death the day following, Tuesday.
Esq. Donaldson, of our town, was sum
moned to hold an inquest, and after
hearing considerable testimony, he
bound the step-daughter over to the Cir
cult Court, and in default of bail she
was taken to cambridge and place in
Jail. Perkey is spoken of as being an
industrious and sober man, and the sad
affair is much lamented by his friends.
He was comparatively young, only in
his 25th year, while the girl is more so,
she being only seventeen.
