MORRISTOWN.

Mr.. EDITTOR-NOt seeing our viii
lage represented in the columns of the
CHRONICLE for some time, by your
permission, ] will represent il. The
public in reading the locals from this
place must bear in mind that Norris
town is not large place, and that the
local writer has but very little to write
about. True, Morristown is old enough
to be very interesting: so, also, is Sam
Tilden old enough to be President of
the q. S., but he is not. People often
complain that locals are so monoto-
nous, that they are not worth reading
that there is nothing in them but ar
rivals, departures, &c. Such persons
should remember that we local wri'
ters must note facts.s and facts only.
They should remember, that we are
not permitted to draw on our imagi-
nation, (no matter how vivid they
may beg, to supply that which is not.

will regret to learn of her death, which
occurred at her residence last Friday

the Christian Church.. Our pen is too
feeble to express our sympathy for the
befeaved husband. lone by one,
the bonds are severed, binding hearts
together here" ..i .... ....

There has been some commotion
this winter in several of our churches |
in regard to dancing. How the mat
ter will end your correspondent does |
not know. 1t is stated by those who
think they know, that the dancers will
all be churched. 1t is high time that |
the Church should take some decided
step in regard to this matter; it has
PLAYED long enough.
The Eagle Hotel gave supper and
dance last Thursday night. The sup
stylishly served. The attendance was
not as good as it should have been.
About 45 took supper. Linn furnished
the music for the hop
Our town took quite start in the
hotel line; jumping from one hotel to
three hotels and two boarding houses.
The fever has infested our communi-
ty for quite while; it is the n. G. r.
r. fever. The M. DIS say it is not |
dangerous, that time will cure it. The
latest sensation is the Burdette Steam |
Transportation Go. We are afraid it
will be "nixy Jim."
Oh t! how sick they look! We mean
those Columbus Lottery ticket hold

One hundred per cent. of the 43 ticket

The ridiculous performances of some
of the roughs at the Bolon House open
