HAWKINS COUNTY DEPARTMENT
~ L. L. POATS, EDITOR.
ROGERsvILLF. APR. 10. 1873.

THE COUNTY of Greene has levied
tax sufficient to raise two dollars
a scholar for public school purposes.
This tax is thought to be sufficient
to keep the schools open five months.
1t is getting time that our people
were taking hold of school matters
in earnest. We have to pay a pref
ty heavy tax for the education Of
the children as it is, and it is the du.
ty of everybody to see that the great
est amount ofgoodpossible is done
with the peoples money thus raised.
To have useful schools, we must
have good, competent teachers, and
to have these we must pay them
salaries sufficient to justify them in
the work. We hope the Superin-
tendent aud all others interested in
Hawkins county will look to this
matter the present year, SO that our
free schools will be of some account
and so that the people will get at
least somewhat Of al equivalent in
the way of the education of their
children, for the large amount col
'lected from them as a school tax.
Our free schools have not been very
efficient Institutions in the past.
Their character ought to be improv-
ed and that ought TO be done right
away. Let the Superintendent see
to it that none but competent per-
sons receive certificates this year,
and then we will have good schools
or save the money. ..-

An Astonishing Fact.


A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The
result of these diseases upon the masses
of intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually q
burden instead of a pleasant existence
of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought
to be. There is no good reason for this,
if you will only throw aside prejudice
and skepticism, take the advice of Drug
gists and your friends, and try one bot
tie Of Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of
bottles of this medicine have been given
away to try its virtues, with satisfactory
results in every case. You can buy Il
sample bottle for 10 cents to try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. Posi-
lively sold by all Druggists on the
Western Continent. For sale by w. z.

accounts of its great efficacy. 1t has
been used with the most satisfactory
results by a great number of our citizens,
for various diseases, such as Soar Throat,
Erysipelas, Dyspepsia and a variety of
chronic affections. Nearly every one
who has tried it, speak of it as wonder
full specific. As for my own experience,
/ can truly say, that have never found
such a speedy and effective remedy for
disordered stomach and Sick Headache.
If properly used it win certainly relieve
these unpleasant complaints in an as
tOnishingly brief space of time. With
our personal knowledge of its medical
virtues, and knowing the source from
whence it is obtained, az well as per-

It's use to any who may be afflicted as a
safe and reliable family medicine.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
qatire1, reporting an interview with SEN
ator Eaton, says: ]" wonder how much
Tilden did spend in the campaign" was
asked. Directly about $3.50, 900, was
Mr.. Eaton's response, Though Hewitt
told me that he and Ed. Cooper, his
brother in-law, had spent about $780,
600 additional. He said that he thought
that Tilden should remunerate them fer
this expenditure. 1 learned afterward
that Tilden did pay them all but about
SIC, 900 apiece of this sum and he has
probably paid them in full by this time"

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
BY inserting in your highly appreci.
ted paper the following account of a
excursion to the Devils Nose j
Hawkins county, Tenn, you will cor
fer favor on the ysung ladies an
gentlemen whose names are appended I
it, and perhaps on others:
From RogersviEe, one blustry day,
crowd Of young folks took their way;
Each Yowing ere that day did close,
To stand upon the Devils Nose.n
The changing moods of April's sky
Give anxious looks to beauty's eye,
While frowning clouds, that come and go,
Cast shadows on young hearts below;
And maids less brave would have turned back,
At mists that lowered above the track;
But that grace and strength together grow,
These ladies fair, did surely show.
Up the mountains side with agile feet
The maidens sPrang-no fawns more fleet;
And one might think that wood nymphs gay
We're dancing there in joyous play.
From nook and glen doth laughter break,
And eyes aglow-with rapture speak,
As far below vision grand
Is spread abroad on either hand.
Rapturous shouts from sweet lips spring,
With joyous notes each cliff doth ring,
Az and mp the zig-zng way
Climb lads and lasses glad and gay.
Wild flowers spring up beneath their feet,
With bright eyes, brighter eyes to greet;
And chrystaI springs their treasures pour
With murmuring joy unknown before.
And cold dry Ichens learn to glow
When touched by fingers white snow;
And nature spreads out treasures rare
To greet the maids that venture there. 8
The rugged rocks their shelter lend,
And from the rain their forms defend;
The storm King too, at last retents,
And of his churlishness repents;
Hastes to his lair in the rude north,
And leaves the sunshine flashing forth;
Then from the peak glorious view,
Ever changing and ever new,
Spreads out the whole horizon round
Till distance doth the vision bound
Brief moments blest with such a scene
Have more in them OF joy, ween,
Than days that drag away dun hours,
Or months that give fruit flowers
If ga thing of real beauty be
A joy forever" then may she
Who gazed upon that gorgeous scene,
Spread out meath such Respondent sheen,
Recall the rapture of the honr r
While memory Yields her magic power.
The mishaps no one now recalls,
The stumbling steps, the frequent falls;
The strugg up the winding way tF
That gave to every muscle play;
The rent in skirt or polonaise,
The broken band the ruptured stays
Unmixed delight dwelIs not on earth,
Without some pain comes nought of worth,
And they who climb Che ''Deyil's Nose"
Must pay him toll in rent OF Clothes -E
