AS to the shocking scandal at White
side, about the heinous charge against
Rev. Mr.. Herring, noticed in our last,
the Chattanooga Times has been called
upon by Mr.. Brazwell, son-in-law of
Herring, who says that he has thorough
ly investigated the facts in the case and
he finds that the trouble is the out
growth of 'fiendish hatred" to Mr. Her
ring, who he insists is entirely innocent
of the charge. Mr.. B. says Dagan is
weak-minded, and that nearly all the
people in that vicinity have not the
''least shadow of an idea that Herring is
guilty of the charge" Dagan's wife
says the charge is unfounded. Mr.. B.
believes that personal enemies of Mr..
Herring have so poisoned the mind of
Dagan that he is nearly wild Mr.
Brazwell, who is a respectable citizen of
Chattanooga, believes in the entire in
nocence of his father-in-law, and is
much hurt over the matter.

EFFECTS DE TIE RAINS.

Not only is grass growing, bus
corn and other vegetables are COM
ing on satisfactorily. During the
drouth the corn was we'll worked
and 'laid by" unusually clean, but
as soon as the showers came millions
of weeds sprang up and have al.
ready assumed a mammoth growth,
so much so that their proportions
may be termed wonderful !
VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS.
AS in other early drouths, early
vegetables and flowers are putting
out a second crop, which, to many,
seems very curious, but to expert,
enced culturists, are looked for as a
matter of course. Among other
wonderful products. allow me to
aver that have a Datura in bloom
which has on it at the present time
fully 800 buds, and | have already
plucked at least thirty large, bell
shaped blooms. This Datura sends
out an agreeable fragrance from its
blossoms which reaches rods away.
And this is why | value it SO highly.

LAURELs FOR THE GAZETTE.
The election is over, and though there
was not the interest manifested that
should have been, Claiborne county
gave a majority for the ratification of
the proposition submitted by the Legis-
lature. The GAZETTE, IN the fight to
maintain the honor and credit of the
State, won laurels that will never fade
and accomplished much good by its
bold utterances and manly thrusts at
reputation and dishonor. The preser-
walton of our plighted faith, and the
payment of just obligations are of para
mount interest to all, and if the next
Legislature fails to adjust the matter,
ruin to US as a people, and distrust must
inevitably follow
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
have opened here, and the teachers are
more competent than have been employ
ed heretofore. School directors, gener-
ally speaking, pay too little attention to
this very important part.
TAZEWELL COLLEGE,
the pride of our county, and an institu-
ton permanently established, now has
enrolled one hundred and nine students,
with flattering prospects for many more.
Bird Manard, a man of untiring anergy,
devoted to his work, with his corps of
assistants, will give satisfaction make
this an institution of worth, and but lit
tie behind any in the State. Some
promising young men are matriculated,
who will make themselves honOred in
the years that are to come.
RAILROAD EXCITEMENT.
Kentucky is very much excited just
now over the extension of the K. G.
Railroad. We feel interested too, as
that line must form junction with the
K. and o. road at Careyvllle, or with
the East Tennessee and Virginia road at
Morristown. Our people favor the lat
ter named place, as the road will pass
through Claiborne, making it one of the
richest and most prosperous counties in
the State.
