Gilmore, late of this place, for basket
full of nice soft peaches. Also water
melon.
Our merchants report wheat as COM
ing in more freely last week than at any
time since the new crop market COM
menced. Many of the farmers, however,
are still holding back for better figures,
which we hope they will realize.
The depredations of dogs continue to
increase in Tennessee. About 81 per
cent of the sheep have been killed by
dogs during the past six months. At
this rate it will take but a short time to
exterminate all the sheep in the State.
We understand that Esquire Tate, at
Panther Springs, was saving up very
fine melon last week to send to the
GAZETTE editor for Sunday eating, but,
lol and beholdi when he went to look
for it, it was numbered with things of
the past gone :glimmering, = rotten.
Squire, don't save anything for Sunday;
send it along as quick as the idea strikes
you.
The following chunk of wisdom is
attracting the attention of the news
papers world, and we copy it in order
that the GAZETTE's host of readers may
consider its merits
cit is not polite to enter place where
you are not invited. Therefore, you
should not go into store where they
do not advertise"
Hon. E. Polk Johnson, of the Louis
vile Eoenailg Neaos, has announced him
self candidate for the Assistant Clerk
ship of the House of the next General
Assembly of Kentucky. Having been
a member or the Legislature, Mr.. John
son is we'll acquainted with the duties of
the Office and the body could not select
better man.
Gov. Porter has issued proclamation,
with a view of preventing unnecessary
expense and cost to the State, formally
withdrawing and reYoking all proclama-
tions of rewards for criminals or fugi-
tives at any time issued from his office
and in force previous to the 22d day of
June, 1877, and no such reward offered

Brick Pomeroy has obtaineda divorce
from his second wife, Louise NJ. Pome-
roy, and has married again. The sepa-
ration was decreed in the PROBATE Court
of Brigham City, Utah. 1t is stated
there is no scandal in the case, but Mrs.
PomerOy insisted on going on the stage,
to which her husband strenuously OBJ
jected, and hence the separation. Mr..
Pomeroy's present wife was his proof
reader.
In our personal last week about Rev.
John Boring, the incident occurring at
Tate Spring was printed just as it was
told to US. But investigation has salts
fed us that it is erroneous in one partic-
ular. While Mr.. Boring did use the
language quoted, there was no preacher
ofany denomination engaged in the card
game. This correction does not mate
rally lessen the pointedness and force of
the rebuke, for it is quite applicable to
OLner men IMAM MINISTER'S.
Messrs. Mahoney and Butler, of the
c., c.. G. and O. railroad visited Mineral
Hill Sunday. Returning in the evening,
when near the Mayes place, the horse
they were driving got one of his legs
over the shaft of the buggy, and both
gentlemen jumped out to extricate him.
Before this could be done the horse
from them and liberated himself by ut
terly running the buggy. The gentlemen
returned in the hack, and the buggy
fragments are expected to follow to-day
in wagon.
1t will be of interest to our readers to
know that during the term of our Cir

ant, in which he adjudged and decided
that the property of the railroad COM
pany known as the Cincinnati, Cumber-
land Gap and Charleston Railroad is
taxable under the Act of Assembly 1875,
for county purposes.
A Knoxville contemporary publishes
a cure for drinking the ardent, !" which,
it is asserted with the utmost confidence,
will effectually destroy thirst or desire
on the part of the most inebriated for |
other beverage. The remedy is simple, |
and is merely for the person to take a |
drink of cold water every time he has a |
desire for drink of grog." If that sug-
gestion should, from any unaccountable |
