Death of Mrs. Brown1ow
REUBEN.


1t is with profound sorrow that we
announce the death of Mrs. Belle c.,
wife of Col James p. Brownlow, which
sad event occurred at her home near
Franklin, Tennessee, at 8 o'clock p. m. I,
Friday. She was the daughter of DIR.
D. B. Cliffe, of Franklin, and was mar
ried to Col. Brownlow about the close of
the late war. We have known the de-
ceased for several years, and learned to
admire her for her many womanly vir-
tues. She was to her husband a faithful
and devoted wife, never firing in her
efforts to administer to what was for his
welfare and pleasure. She was lady
of more than ordinary intelligence, and
was a most agreeably companion, but
her affectionate, womanly spirit, free
from fault-fnding, patient and forgiving,
won for her not only the esteem and
respect, but the warmest affection of
all whe knew her best. But the pale
messenger came and her gentle spirit is
free. The bereaved husband and friends
have our sympathies.

Gala Day.

According to previous announcement.
the Independents Order of Good Tenn
plars of this place celebrated their Third
Anniversary last Thursday, by giving a
picnic at Colds Spring, during the day.
apd a festival at their Hall at night.
The day set in unfavorable, having rain
ed considerable in the early part of the
morning, making the streets muddy and
disagreeable, but before 9 o'clock the
sun came out in all its radiance and
turned everything into laveliness, rapid
ly drying the mud and leaving a real
refreshing atmosphere. The managers,
as well as many others, were greatly
disappointed by the non-appearance of
the Whitesburg Band, which had prom
ised to furnish music on the occasion.
We cannot comprehend the cause of the
failure of the Whltesburg boys to be
present, but attribute it to some friv-
olous misunderstanding among them.
About 10 O'Clock the procession formed
in front of the hall, with "plumes and
banners gay" proceeded down Main
street, thence out the Buncombe rail-
road to the shady greve at the Spring,
where everything had been previously
arranged for their reception and enjoy
ment. A goodly number of citizens
from all over the county were in
attendance, and, after having passed an
hour or so pleasantly in different games
! of amusement, they were addressed in a
brief, pointed and forcible manner, by
Rev. g. T. Carroll, Rev. J. Burnett,
| and others. At the close of the speak
ing, dinner was in demand, and baskets,
filled to the brim with everything suited
to the most fastidious taste, on such
occasions, were brought into reQuisi-
ton, and all present enjoyed a sump-
tuous meal, intermingled with anec-
dOtes, merry laughter, &c. Having
passed the best portion of the day de-
lightfully and satisfactorily, the picnic
was adjourned about 4 O'clock, and the
crowd repaired to town to await the fes'
tival at night. 1t is useless for us to es
innate the crowd which gathered at the
Hall at night. Such mass of gallantry
beauty and gayety, has never before, in
our recollection, greeted and graced q
| similar entertainment in MorristOwn.
| Ice cream, strawberries, and numerous
other delieacies, were the refreshments
of the evening. We did not learn what
the proceeds of the festival were, but
suffice to say, that the Order reaped 6
rich harvest therefrom, which it so meri
toriously deserved. The Lodge was rep
| resented by about one hundred and
twenty five members, and the celebra
ton of its Third Anniversary ELECTED
the undeniable fact that it is now on :
more solid footing than ever.

Death of an Aged Man.

On Tuesday of last week the citizens
of our community were shocked at the
intelligence received of the very sudden
death of ''Uncle" Henry Counts, one of
Hamblen's oldest and most respected
citizens. He was, during a long life, so
we'll known here that any sketch of his
life would convey no information to any
body. Uncle Henry has lived among
us as one of our most useful and respect
ed citizens till whole generations have
come and gone. Long years before
Morristown existed as a town. he Guilt
waited the lands on which the town is
mainly built. For more than fifty years
ne has lived and labored here. During
all that time, as we understand he has
been an acceptable member of the Meth
odst church. He was at the time of his
death eighty-five years of age. He was
in usual health on Tuesday morning /;
went 70 the woods near his house to get
some pea sticks, and before noon passed
into eternity, being found dead in the
woods. His aged consort, Aunt Mary
has the sympathy, as she has always had
the affections of the entire community.

BRISTOL NOTES.
THE JUDGEsHIp

THE JUDGEsHIP
is the .t1Lject of no little interest. An
other Convention to be held. Jonesbor-
ough is to be the scene of the second
act in the drama. Judge McKinny win
get the nomination. Serious fears are
entertained as to any one being elected,
as strength has been lost by the wrang-
ling at Greeneville, and especially by the
revelation OF the fact that the party is
not organized-not a unit. Gen. Hack
er, the Republican candidate, is popular
with the party, and will run strong
race.
THE TROUBLE
at Greeneville was simply this: Too
many lawyers, tired of being simply
lawyers, lawyers blessed with more zeal
for their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT than for
their party. The probable results will
be that they will never be anything else
than what they are, and that they will
have the pleasure OF seeing the Demo
cratic candidate defeated and the Re
publican handsomely elected.
THE WISDOM
of having any Democrat in the district
to succeed Judge McKinny is to be de
monstrated. If man has been working
satisfactorily for the public for number
of years, aohy displace him for an untrted
man, even if abilities are the same or
SUPERIOR If to fatter the vanity of
men, the risk does not justify the ex-
pertinent. No one finds fault with
McKinney's abilities or fitness for the
position. The dogmatic grasping after
Office should disgust all intelligent men
who witness the manipuiatiOns of office
see,,ers. Office should seek men, and
not men office. The race for

BALD MOUNTAIN SPLIT.

300 Feet Long.

A dispatch of the goth from Ashe-
vile. n. c.. says:
Two years ago re idents of this
section of the famous Bald mountain
were thrown into great consterna
ton by continual rumblings and in
explicab,e noises heard in the bowels
of the immense mountain. The
phenomena attracted the attention
of scientific men in all parts OF the
country. The rumblings lasted for
about two weeks and then ceased.
They had the effect of rendering the
real estate in the neighborhood. that
had been valuable, almost worthless,
and the inhabitants FASTENED to mo Q
from the neighborhood of the mys.
terious mountain. Last Friday night
the noises began again; the noun
tain shook as in the throes of an
earthquake immense trees and rocks
we're hurled down the mountain side.
and sounds like intermittent thunder
were heard during the night. This
morning those who ventured near
saw that the mountain had been
literally split in twain, leaving u
chasm OF 500 feet in length and 8 to
10 feet in width. So far as has been
ascertained. the chasm is a bottom
less abyss. AS yet no smoke or la
va has been thrown from the crater.
but early in the morning there was a
strong smell Of sulphur about the
place.

TRAMPs AND THEIR WAYS

Every summer the tramp question
comes up with renewed interest. The
moment warm weather sets in, and the
roads become fit for travel, the country
swarms with idle, desperate men, who
wander from village to village, infest
the fields, beg, steal, and even commit
murder to get food and money, and the
scanty clothes they require. They will
do anything but honest work. They are
always to join in strike or riot, to
plumber lonely farmhouse, set fire to
barns or hay stacks--in short, they have
declaredsstheir independence of law and
order, and carry violence and terror
wherever they go. How to deal with
these wretches and desperadoes has be-
come very serious question. Their
number increases every year. They are
banded into societies. with secret signs
and passwords, and their nefarious or
ganization grows stronger year by year.
To protect itself society must make war
upon these outlaws. Every tramp should
be arrested and sentenced to some form
of hard labor, and thus made to earn the
bread by which he lives.

If "and Immediately the cock crew"
was written after every lie the Waterman
perpetrates, 'twould require an enlarge
ment of that Office-seeking and much
differed concern.-MOTTiStOlon Gazette.
Now, Mr.. GAZETTE, that's mighty
bold in you to give 10 of us editors and
office-seekers the lie at one fell swoop.
You calumniate the living and the dead.
SANDER is the pabulum upon which you
feed. Your character affords a subject
for dissection rare in its leathsomeness,
and its offensiveness increases wherever
the knife of the surgeon explores it.
There is nothing gentle or generous in
illness, truth aud justice, you know not.
Cold-hearted, venal and malignant, you
are the Bashi-Bazouk of the East Ten
nessee press, but without the courage of
the savage. You are the rag-packer OF
the nasty cutters. There is material,
however, in your misanthropy for you.
Your malice ministers to your avarice.
For price you will tap any filthy sewer
of scandal and fill the columns of your
paper with its slime.
In conclusion, all that ails the GA
ZETTE is, it has been lying for office for
the last ten years, and to no purpose
never having succeeded in getting high
er than a clerkship in a swindliug, repu-
dating democratic Legislature-whose
main business it was to swindle the
State creditors out of their honest dues.

THE FZRsr rENN DISTRICT,


The Bristol Neros says: Our friends
of the First Tennessee Congressional
District will have to be very careful
whom they nominate. The race will be
no child's play, and Democratic success
is matter of very great importance.
Say what you please, there has not been,
since the close Of the war, an occasion
when it was half so important that q
Democratic success should be won in
that District We are about to be
blessed with the exit Of the fourteen
year Republican majority in Congress,
but it will require very nice work. The
Senate win be ours in 1879. No doubt
about it. At last we shall control that
body, and while we were cheated out Of
the election of Tilden, we can. with the
Senate, control Hayes. The only hope
Of the enemy is to get a small majority
in the lower house OF Congress. One
vote may decide the complexion of The
House. We have failed on all the old
nominees. Mr.. e.. r. Vance, OF SuIli-
van, is man Of no party antagonisms,
and came in one vote of getting pre-
vious nomination. He is a smooth,
popular and sound man, and we believe
he cen carry the district. Can this be
