There are sixteen Democratic news
papers published in East Tennessee,
and but one of these is for Wilson, the
bolter and repudiationist.
Our sympathies are with our towns
man, Mr. James Sutton, in the loss OF
his bright infant son, which died last
Wednesday morning, aged about
weeks.
To-day Tuesday two weeks the great
guns of Indiana and Ohio will belch
forth death and destruction to the Rad
ical party. Twas Maine that did It'll
She gave the signal.
This paper circulates largely in COcke'
Jefferson Hamblen, Granger, Hawkins
Hancock and Claiborne counties. Adj
vertisers will please make a note of this
ana govern themselves accordingly.
We are pleased to observe chat town
marshal Millican, through instruction
from the board of mayor and aldermen,
has made valuable Improvements on
some of the streees and is putting others
in good order.
We have long been engaged in the
newspaper business, but we have never
vet learned to run one without money.
This is a personal appeal to every man
who may know himself to be indebted
to us on subscription.
The Newport Reporter and cambridge
Waterman have consolidated, and in the
future will be published at cambridge
under the title of Dandr5dg6 WGtchnaan
| and Reporter. $50 dollars for the materi-
| al of the Reporter was the bonanza that
enabled him to make the rifle. Lucky
10. Bible How thankful he must feel
that all the fool Democrats are not dead.
The Rogersville Spectator learns of a
most horrible accident which occurred
to three year old son Of Mr.. John
Webb, Of Choptack, one day week be-
fore last. It seems that the child was
left in the house by its parents, and
through some unknown cause, its gar
ments caught fire and it was burned to
death.
Our sincere congratulations are extern
ded to our clever friend, the popular
claim agent of the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia railroad, Capt. McH'
Dooley. On Tuesday of last week he
was united in the holy bonds of we'd
lock, at Knoxville, to Miss Mollie Moon
ey, an accomplished and charming young
lady of that city, formerly of Bristol.
Last Friday may be scientifically,
successfully and wonderfully set down
as a field day in child births in Morris
town and vicinity. If our information
is correct, eight births were reported
during the day and night-giving en-
ployment to three tired, :sleepy and as
tonished physicians. The "boom" has
reached us! Let us all make room for
pOsterity!
Our fellow-citizeu, Mr.. c. C. john
son, is erecting a neat frame building
on Henry street, near Walker & Sons
barber shop, to be used as a butchers
shop when completed. The butchering
business is becoming an important in
dustry in Morristown, We understand
we are soon to have another ''meat
shack" and hope the people will be
benefited by a downfall in the price of
beef, as well as better quality of that
necessary life-sustaining article.
Mrs. Fannie E. Newcomb, our fash
lonable miliner, requests us to inform
the public that she has received the
handsomest line of real ostrich feathers,
pushes, satins and velvets, ruchuings,
ETC., ever offered in Morristown, and
will sell such goods at lOa0or prices than
any to BE- found else,ohere. Mrs. N. invites
the ladies of town and county 30 give
her call in person, ia order to better
appreciate her goods and prices. Re-.
member, ladies, those who first cali on
her will be first served.
Again comes the wall of the farmer
over the death of his sheep by worthless
dogs Col. ]. NJ. BeWley had three very
valuable ones thus destroyed Friday
night. His herdsman informed as yes
terday that he felt hopeful of retaining
the remainder of the flock as the owner
of the murderous dogs now had them
securely tied up in his yard at home
There's christian humanity for you In
the absence of a wholesome law for the
suppression of those deadly assaults by
worthless ours, our farmers should inau-
eurate a sort of "shot gun policy"
Master Eddie Hawkins, the child ora
tor. entertained the children last Sab
bath afternoon at the Southern Metho-
dist church, in a Sunday school lecture
of about thirty-fYe minutes duration,
which was claimed by his father TO have
been an impromptu production of the |
boys own thoughts at the time he de- |
Iivered it. We must confess that Mas |
tire Eddie has greatly improved since we |
last heard him-about year ago-both
in articulation and gesture. he IS
wonder. He handled his subject in a
manner that would have reflected credit
upon some of our renowned theologians.
he pleased both young and old. !
