to repeal them altogether as to let
them stand az atpresent. Z With the
exception of the State debt, the sab-

Importance really than any likely to

Assembly. Adjust the State debt

throughout the State. and the bene-
fetal effects will be felt and seen at

PORK PACKING

KEoxyILIE, TENN, Dec. 2, 1873.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
PORK PACKING.
Seeing an article in the GAZETTE of
this week, alluding to pork packing in
MorristewH, reminds me that there IS
not much activity in this line in our
city. Very few hogs being slaughtered
here. nor will there be many the present
season, judging from what have seen
and heard. Mr.. Hugh Martin, who
slaughtered largely last year, is not in
the business and will not be, l suppose.
He got his fingers burnt last year and is
not DESTROYS of risking a similar catas-
tropbe. / know of but one man pack
ing to any extent-Mr- /. FAM. He
erected a packing establishment north
of the city and has every facility Of
doing an extensive business. Still am
not aware that he is slaughtering many.
he is a safe, quiet, calculating business
man and generally knows what he is
doing.
1t had occurred to me that this was a
favorable time for pork packing in view
of the prevailing low price of hogs.
The best grades can be bought as low
down as two and a half cents per one
hundred pounds gross in this city with
no sort of activity in the market True
enough large crop is reported in the
Northwest, the largest perhaps for a
number OF years, but the low prices
prevailing must afford fair margin for
profit. The farmers of this immediate
section are NOT inclined to sell to the
packers at present prices and will, for
the most part, no doubt, pack them
themselves. l am disposed to think
they are acting wisely, though l have
no advice to give in the premises.

Preachers will marry and sometimes
they marry when they ought not to,

Of Mr. and Mrs A. A. Barnes, lady of

withal. Mr.. Sturgis is from Maine and
has been in charge of this church for
about twelve moaths He is one of the
most talented divines in the city, of
rare culture, of fascinating manners
and a most genial and companionable

We learn that Notwithstanding the
law of the State forbidding the sale of
coal oil, standing a lower fire test than
100 degrees. unprincipled men taking
advantage of the lax manner in which
the law is enforced, are bringing into
the State and selling an oil which is far
below the legal test, and dangerous to
use. Such trifling with the lives and
property of persons, for the sake of max
ing little better profit, or of being able
to underseIl competitor who is hand

nounced in sufficiently strong terms, and

| Our readers will not fail TO be at
tracted by the liberal and handsome hol-
! iday advertisement of Peter Kern, the
great Confectioner and Family Grocer,
of Knoxville. Mr.. Kern is emphatieally
the architect of his own fortune, and is
a man of whom Knoxville is and should
be proud. Locating in Knoxville soon
after the surrender of the Confederate
army, IN which lie served as private
for four years, he borrowed SO so and
began baking bread for sale to the Fed
eral soldiers. From that commence
ment, his steady and Industrious habits,
his honesty, liberal and generous nature
won the confidence and friendship of
not only his own community, but that
of other sections, so that by attention to
his own business, economy, good man
agement aud promptness in all his deal
iugs, he has not only accumulated a
handsome competence in life, but has
been repeatedly called to honorable and
responsible public positions in the mu-
nicipal government of the city by his
fellOw-citizens. His business houses are
on the first floors of the Odd Fellows
Hall building, a beautiful brick block,
erected and owned by Mr.. Kern, Onsthe
Northwest corner of Union Street and
Market Square. The building is one of
the most attractive in the city, and the
rooms used by Mr. Kern in his business
are large and roomy, handsomely fin
ished, and fitted up expressly for the
display and sale of confectionery goods, /
fire works, foreign fruits, nuts, fancy
groceries, sc. His stock is a complete
and superb selectiOn-the largest ever
before offered in East Tennessee. Fam
