PERSONAL.


ped herd of 78 fine cattle last Friday
to Hamilton, Scott & Co. Abingdon, Va.
The condition of Mrs. Van Huss, on
Monday, was better, and hopes of her
recovery were entertained
Miss Lima Evans, who has been for
months under treatment in this place, is
still alive, but with little hope of recov-
cry.
We regret to hear of the indisposition
of our kind friend and neighbor, Mrs.
Col ]. M. Bewley. We trust the health
of this estimable lady mayIsoon be fully
and permanently restored.
Miss Mollie Starnes, whose serious i'll
ness we mentioned last week, has been
removed from the residence of Mr.. M.
A. Whit to that of Dr. R. B. Owens.
Her condition is no better, and there is
little hope of her recovery.
Mr.. Charles A. Mayors, who has been
a compositor in this office for the last
eight months, left us Friday morning to
accept similar position in Brownies
Riverside Publishing House, Nashville.
Charlie is a sober, industrious, worthy
young man, and we wish him a success
full career in his new field of labor.
Miss Maggie Mitchell, charming and
accomplished young lady of Knoxville
society, spent Saturday and Sunday last
in our town, visiting relatives. She
was en- route home from Whitesburg,
where she has been spending the past
two weeks with her intimate friend and
relative, Miss Ida Kyle, at "Home
Cottage" We are sorry she did net re
main long enough in Morristown to give
some of our young knights an oppOr-
tunity Of capturing her. She is q jewel
worth possessing.
Mai. W W. Rollins, President of the
Western Carolina railroad, real live
and pushing improvement man, and Mr..
Jas. Smith, an intelligent and success
full tobacco grower Of Marshall, n, c.,
gave US a pleasant call last week. The
Major was on his way home from pro-
tracted visit east on railroad matters,
and spoke cheerfully, if not enthusiastic
cally, of the ultimate completion of the
unfinished link in our line # Southern
railway communication. Bo'h gentle
men spoke in the highest terms of the
tobacco interests of the old North State,
and said gold and other rich minerals
abounded in their section.
We had the pleasure of a call from our
good friend, T. j. Jarnagin, of the
vicinity of Tate's Spring, last week, who
was en- route home from visit to pur-
chase more new goods for his popular and
we'll patrOnized store near Tate's. We
knew he had business with US. He wan
ted more bills printed-more advertise
ments. Jarnagin is a sensible, shrewd
business man. Printers ink increases
the number of his friends and they flock
to see him from every direction. He is
doing business near Tate's Spring for n
A Jarnagin, and with his popularity and
management, business will move. His
many wagons, passing to and from this
place, ladened with goods and produce,
excite even our Morristown merchants.
To reach his happy success they must
initiate his liberal advertisements.
The question Of the removal of the
Court house from Newport, that has so
long vexed the people of Cooke county,
was decided last week by Judge Rose,
who held that the new building should
be put up at Bridgeport. Col. o. G.
King, of this place, won considerable
reputation inhis management of the case
and by his speech for removal. The
propriety and justice of christening the
new capital " King" in honor of him,
is already mooted. The opponents of
the new location are not inclined to be-
lieve that the change will be made, but
feel sanguine it will remain where it is.
AS a sort of compromise, as it were, how
would it do to build the new court house
on wheels and let il be kind of peres
grinating, peripatetic temple for the
water bound as we'll as barn yard fell
lows. What says Fowler Morris? By
the way, we learn Fowler is running a
brick yard at Bridgeport in connection
with his Excelsior Touring mill.
