HOW QUIET

TAzEwELL, TENN, Nov. Is, 1880. |
HOW QUIET!
Even the street corner politician
has disappeared | Eagerness and
have given place to gapes
and yawnings! Restings at ease
and ambitious expectations give va
riety to popular impulse-that of
the yeomanry. Hon long thus p
and "What shall it be ?" are signifi-
cart enquiries of the defeated and
the successful. How sweet the
peace! how enjoyable the calm If
it were only for three times the
years had much greater the blessing.
no, WESTWARD!
Many Of our North Clinch people
have gone. this autumn, towards the
Gulf and Pacific slope. The emf.
grafton fever still RACES. Many of
our best citizens are discussing the
relative merits of Oregon, Missouri
and Texas. Property can be bought
at low figures from those who have
their hearts set on the West.
DEAD!
F. B. Cloud. long leading citi'
zen Of this county, died the 7th in
slant. He represented the county
ia the State Legislature when it was
compliment TO sustain such rela
tion, and has been othewise promf
men, IN the official affairs Of the
county. He was an honest and up
right man, and leaves the walks o.
men without a stain on his charac
ter. His remains were accompanied
10 the grave by the students o.
! Tszeven College aud hundreds o
citizens. One by one the colder
links that bind together two gener
ations are broken and disappear.
BACK AGAIN.
That most excellent Of young
preachers, Rev. W. B. Baldwin, ha'
returned to Claiborne to engage If
farming for time, in the hope tina
his health may be restored. Whether
he breaches or not his presence il
our county is a blessing, and hi:
social and business contact relig
iously healthful. The health of him
self and wife is improving, but slow
". The address of Mr.. Baldwin
will hereafter be at Pleasant.
