Young ladies, If you wish something
real pretty in the millinery line, go to
Mrs. Newcomb's. gE
Strawberries made their appearance
in this place last Konday-the first of
the seasonal 10c per quart.
Mrs. Newcomb received a large ad-
dition to her stock of millinery goods
last week. Some of the loveliest hats,
French flowers, &C., we ever looked at.
We understand that the Morristown
wool carding machine is being fitted up
with new cards and will be ready for
work by the middle of this month.
Mr. John FL. Crozier, Jr., eff Beams
Station, Granger county, was on We'd
nesday commissioned from Nashville as
Magistrate for his county.
Merchants who wish to keep up with
the times and sell their goods readily
should let the public know they mean
business through the columns of the
GAZETTE.
We regret to learn that Miss Mollie
Morris, of this place, has been seriously
ill from hemorrhage of the lungs for the
past week at Whitesburg.

| We invite attention to the advertise
ment in this days paper of Mineral Hill
Springs. A more extended notice of
this popular resort will be given hereaf-
ter.
The Brooks saloon failed last week
or rather it was closed by the Sheriff
for debt, thus leaving Morristown with
only one grocery. We would will
ingly dispense with that if possible.
Harvey Loop, Esq, announces him
self in another place candidate for
Sheriff of Hamblen county Mr. Loop
is a sterling and substantial citizen, and
has many friends throughout the coun-
ty. Should he be elected, no one doubts
his ability to discharge the duties Of
the Office satisfactorily to the people
and with credit to himself.

We noticed in our depot last week
one of Louis Cooks magnificent Cincin-
natl two-seated buggies addressed "Gen.
John Portrum, Morristown." The vehi-
Gle is the most stylish in appearance of
any in this section, and when placed be-
hind Logan would be admirably adapted
to fill the measure of joy of the most
exacting young wife. Things look sus-
picious just now, as to the Generals fair
dealing with old male friends.
II you don't get your paper regularly,
or if the newspaper dead-5eat gets it
and keeps it, tell your Postmaster not
to give your mail out to anybody with.
out a written order 1t is not more an
noying to you to have your paper pur-
loined every week than it is damaging
to our business. We cannot expect to
hold our subscribers unless they get
their paper regularly.
Every time we receive copy of the
Lebanon Herald the first thing that
comes under our eyes is, ''Who got the
Money!" The cOnundrum so persistent
ly put is getting to be an intolerable nu.
isance. We cannot think the Doctor
suspects us of getting it, as no one here
harbors such suspicion. We hope it
will prove to have been received by our
single delinquent subscriber and that he
will Immediately pay US what's due and
stop the hue and cry of the Herald.
| Two horses attached to a wagon near
| Speck's store took fright at the up
passenger train last Tuesday evening
and started at full tilt up street. The
driver was in the wagon, but could not
manage them. They turned about the

We are indebted to our kind friend
and popular contributor, Mr.. E. S Shop
ard, of Knoxville, for specimens of the
first Monarch strawberries that have ri
pened on his grounds this spring. The
largest one before us measures Al inches
in circumference. Ed. is practical and
successful amateur horticulturist, as
well rs the most entertaining and reada-
BILE correspondent the GAZETTE has, and
our mouth waters now in anticipation
of the feast in store for US when all the
Monarchs he has planted are ready to
yield their delicious fruit.
We learn from the Reporter that an
election was held in Newport, Cooke
County, Tuesday, March 81, for " the
purpose of electing Aldermen, but the
vote cast was very light, as the MAORI
ty would not as much as recognize or
countenance the election, as they bitter
ly oppose the selling of Intoxicating
liquors And as wise men would do
chartered the Newport High School,
which, according to law, moves the
''doggeries" four miles from the school,
