a RICH THING ABOUT EDITORS

Editors are usually wealthy" the
man with the sample case remarked.

all the slang and business phrases of the

as ordinary men talk about dollars; they
know how to pay the national debt; they
build railroads; they organize mining

war without consulting R0thschilds, and
if all the banks in America were to fail

Nobody has as yet rented Hale's
Springs for the coming summer.
This is strange. If the right man
would take hold of that property he
could make some money this year.
The Southerners will certainly con-
gregate there if they can be accomo-
dated. Cant the GAZETTE send
some man up from Morristown or
elsewhere to open the hotel to the
public. There's money in the enter
prise.

CHANGES, IMPROVEMENTS, &C.

There has been considerable NOV
ing around in RogersvilIe lately. c.
C. Spears, Clerk of the Circuit Court.
has purchased the fine mansion here
tofore belonging to the estate of the
late D. Alexander, on Main street,
and has moved into it with his fami-
| ~.
w. B. Hale, merchant, hs- pur-
chased the dwelling house belonging
to w. N. Piper, near The postomce,
and is occupying it. He contem-
plates extensive Improvements on
the property, and his accomplished
wife will doubtless use her cultivated
taste in oInamenting the grounds
with shrubbery aud Fl wcrs.
ThOs G. Brownlow has gone home
to his fine place near the stone
bridge, and, of course, very soon
will have two or three carpenters at
work making improvements. If
Tom should live TO be q thousand
years old, he will still be having
work done on that house and lot. He
knows how to fix up a dwelling
house.
Mr.. Will Pierce has, with his
young wife, taken possession of the
neat little cottage on the creek near
the bridge. That is a pretty home
for the young people and we hope
they will be happy aud prosperous
in it.
Mr.. Hays, of the Press and Times,
has moved into Mrs. McCarty's cot
tage in the triangle between Broad.
way and the river road. He is
printer and has lots of children
SO they say. Hope the P. 6 T. will
make money enough to keep 'em
growing.
Mr.. Andrews is building a cottage
ct the east end of Broadway, which
he will have ready for family use by
summer.
The Southern Methodists have
succeeded in raising means sufficient |
to warrant them in letting the con.
tract for their house Of worship. The
new building will stand on the lot
Immediately fronting the old Meth
odist church with the entrance from
BlOuDt street. The church building
is to be of wood, is to be finished by
the first of August and will cost
$1,000. The contract has been talk
en- by the McCreary brothers. They
will put it through.
Rev. j. C. Cowan has moved into
the family residence at the rear of the
Masonic Temple in Rogersville. TLis
building is undergoing
some repairs and improvements
being fitted up fOr Masonic purposes
above and for private dwelling and
of1ices on the ground floor. Since
Mr.. Cowan has moved into the Tenn
pie, a little baby -bOy has come t.
i've with him. The newcomer is

put our guess 10 he will never get
ahead Of Willie. We hope though

ligh-spiFited and brave q man as

Vary extensive and needed repairs

are in progress at the court house
Four new rooms are to be construct
ed in What 10 now uRoccupied space
o. the front of the building-twc
above for jury rooms and two below
for offices. The County Court
Clerks Office is 10 be enlarged to
twice its present size. The Clerk
and Masters Office has already been
enlarged, and the room has sufficient
capacity now To accommodate the
Chancery Court if it should be nee
essary to hold term there. Here
tofore the county has had to rent a
room whenever the Chancery Court
conficted with any other court. In
addition to the improvements above
spoken of, a porch will be extended
the full length of the building in
front-in the place where that little
box affair now stands. This porch
will be splendid place for the citi-
zens to meet on summer days and
chat. Up there they can look back
and talk of fine horses. fine cattle,
fat hogs and new kinds Of sheep.
They can also fling in little politics
occasionally, and in fact exchange
views and swap ideas about any and
everything good, bad and indlffer-
ent.
Ed D. and Robert r. Powell have
opened a new store in the building
on The old King corner and are do
ing an active business. They are
popular gentlemen, and favorably
known to everybody in Hawkins
county and will sell an immense
amount of goods.
Mr.. 10. Williams has built a new
Office over the branch at the east
corner of his lot on Main street. 1t
is nice little building. He is also
having the old Mouutcastle store
house overhauled aud repaired. 1t
will be ready for somebody to fill |
with goods aud make a fortune, be.
fore long. He is also repairing the
old Mountcastle dwelling house, and
getting il ready TO meve into in the !,
event some old maid should capture
him this leap year-which we hope
she will.
Altogether, up one side and down
The other, Rogersville is looking up.
A great many improvements are be-
ing made in a quiet way which we
have not mentioned, The old town
IS moving forward on the road Of
progress. Trade is active; our me-
,hanics are busy; there are fewer
oilers about The streets than have
been for some years; every body
Ieems TO have something to do aud
o be in hurry about doing it. Now
5 the very time for our people to
make a united effort 10 build up
md make our town schools prosper
'us. If every man and woman in
he town will speak a good word for
he Female College and the Male
academy the effect will be lmmedi Z
tely felt and seen. Let US all do
that we can for our schools.

last evening fire was discovered on the first
floor OF CoX's iron and brass foundry, NO..
Sl2 Cary street, and an alarm was sent in
from Station 81, headquarters Fire Depart
ment, on Tenth street DeIr Cary. The lre
appeared TO be on the second floor, where
Mr.. Cox had number OF patterns stored.
Ii evidently originated. however, in closet
under The stairway where there was stored
a lot Of greasy brass, oil rags, &C., and was
probably spontaneous combustion. Mr..
Cox, however, is OF opinion that the
fire resulted from spark from a fire

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May II

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May II.
Il. Morton. Superintendent american Union
Telegraph company:
The American Union Telegraph Company
applied during April to the Bell Telephone
Company. which is under control OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company, for a
connection with the Telephone Exchange
in this city. The application was not grant
ed for the reason OF IN alleged exclusive
contract between the Bell Telephone Com
pany and the Western Union Telegraph
Company, whereby all telegraph messages
received over the telephone wires were re-
oured to be sent by the Western Union
lines.
The American Union Telegraph Com
pany thereupon applied to Judge Thayer,
OF the District Court, for a Tndndamus to
compel the Bell Telephone Company to
grant the desired connection. Judge
Thayer this morning overrued the motion
Of the Bell Telephone Company to Quash
the alternative writ OF n1dRdamus, and de-
cided every point in favor OF the American
Union Telegraph Company, who thus OBJ
tanned possession OF equal facilities in the
exchange with any other telegraph COM
panv. This is the first legal decision OF this
question, and is therefore important in view
OF the claim OF the Western Union Tele-
graph Company 10 the control OF The Fele-
pbone Exchange in their interest. We are
/ i,iormed that the American Union Tele-
graph Company has secured telephone con-
nc ctious in nearly all the principal cities in.
the United States. ID. Ii. BATES,
First Vice President.
