On Saturday, January 26. 1878, at the
residence of DR.. J Nat Lyle, in Dan.
bridge, Hon. j. b. Carson. present
senator from the Third senatorial district
Of Tennessee, celebrated the 6ftieth an
niversAry of his marriage to his present
wife, Mrs. Lavina Carson. There we're
present Senator Carson aud wife, VIM.
Carson, brother of the senator, Miss
Julia Gentry, Hon. w. l.. Dugan, the
present representative in the legislature
from the counties OF Cooke and SEWER;
ton. J.C. McAndreW, present represent
alive from Jefferson. and others. ALI the
ceremonies and formRlities attending
soch occasions we're dispensed with,
except extending the hospitalities
of the proprietor and lady of the
house in the form OF a dinner.
Senator Carson is now the oldest SEN
stor in any State or national legislature,
90 far as we know. He is now going on
seventy,eight years. He appears young
and buoysnt, with a step as elastic as g
lad OF twenty summers. Mr.. Carson
represented Jefferson county in the State
Legislature in 1889, and 40 and '43,
nearly forty years ago. He is now the
senator from the Third senatorial dis
trict, composed of the counties Of Blount,
Sewer, Jefferson and Cooke, and was
sent this time by a majority Of, If we
mistake not, near three thousand, being
one of the greatest msjorities and high
est honors ever received by any Tennes-
see senator. Although Mr.. Carson never
was as brilliant an orator as some, yet
he served his country, side by side in the
Legislature, with such men as Andrew
Johnson, and others, distinguished alike
in their day. Mr., O%arSon's votes have
always been conscientious and consist.
ant, and has never failed to receive the
unqualified Endorsement Of his constitu.
ents when he returned home to give an
account of his stewardship. We under.
stand that it is now the purpose of SEN
stor Carson to retire, at the ripe old age
Of s%eventy-eight, from active political
life, being satisfied with his high and
w%ell.earned honors.
