THE WANT SUPPLIED.

To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette:
A man was seen in Morristown last
Friday morning with a coon skin, and
after calculating for an hour he conclu
ded that it would take about fifteen of
the same size 10 wrap an average baby
in. He seemed satisfied with the result
until the thought struck him, Where
is the baby to come from ~ At this OPP
perfume moment cur young friend, Mr..
Thomas B. German, stepped to the front
and modestlY informed him that he
would take couple dozen or SO, if they
could be furnished him, to wrap up a
fine, handsome baby girl in, which had
arrived ut his house the previous night.
The trade was closed, and Tom is nOw
the happiest fellow in town. ~"

We have received the first two num-
bers of beautifully printed and hand
somely illustrated weekly paper entitled
q Golden Days" for Boys and Girls. 1t
is truth beyond controversy that one
of the most potent fountains of crime is
the vicious literature for the young
which floods the country. These papers
directly instigate crime and their extinc-
ton would be a blessing to humanity,
but as there exists no means of suppress
ing them, and as eur children will read,
it follows that the best antidote is to fur
nish the youth with good, wholesome, in
structive reading, presented in its most
attractive form, with a view of winning
them away from the corrupting papers,
to that which entertains and instructs.
The numbers of Golden Days before US
are worthy the patronage of those who
condemn the corrupting literature refer
red to-, and we believe the object So
clearly defined in the initial numbers
will be conscientiously pursued by the
publisher. 1t is eminently entitled to
the countenance and support of all who
have the welfare of the young at heart.
Specimen copies may be seen at this Of
fee. Price 81. 90 per year. Address, James

with confection work, many of them
being striking designs illustrating
points of interest along the line of
the road, such as high Bridge, the
Dizzy Bridge, Kings mountain tun-
mel, Point Burnside and others. The
hall, itself an imposing structure,
with its array of tables aud profus-
ion Of ornaments, together with its
company of delighted guests an
the presence of large plumber OF
ladies and gentlem en-, formed a scene
of beauty and magnificence that will
long be remembered by those who
witnessed it. The banquet cost the
managers $4,000. When the viands
had been amply discussed, addresses
of welcome were delivered by Mr.
Jacob. Mayor of CINCINNATI, on the
I
part of tire city, and by Gov. Foster
on behalf the State of Ohio. A po-
em written by Rev. Joseph H. Mar,

to his attempt during the war. along
with some seventy five thousand
other Southerners. to reach Cincin

with a few of his friends and neigh
bors to apologize for failing to come
sooner. Gov, Colquitt, of Georgia
also spoke, abiding in eloquent
words to the dead past, which he
hoped would be buried forever. The
festivities were kept up until long
after midnight.

PROSPEROUS GEORGIA.

DALLAS, GA, March 16, 1880.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The iron works of this State are rap
IDLY reopening with full force. Last
years fine crops and high prices for cot
ton has placed the people of Georgia in
more prosperous condition than they
have been at any time since the war.
Farmers are making preparations for
large crops this season. Rain has been
falling very fast, almost necessarily, for
ten days. Waters high. George Castor,
a negro, has been sentenced to hang at
Dallas, Ga, March 26, for the murder Of
Jack Moss, negro. Respectfully,

The announcement Of the accep-
lance of Ex-Gov. James ID. Porter
of the position of President of the
Nashville, Chattanooga aud st. Lou
is railway, will be received with an
amount of qualification not usually
INDUCED in by all who know him
and have an interest in the success
of the railways of the South. A
more pure, highminded, chivalric
gentleman than Gov. Porter, nor one
commanding more largely the conf
dence of all classes of people, could
not have been selected by the CON-
pany to fill the responsible and ele-
waited position made vacant by the
resignation of Col. Cole, himself an
officer of unquestiOned executive
ability and in every respect a gentle
man.

A Pittsburg pa Dispatch says {:
1.-THE condition of the iron trade is
more encouraging now than it has
been for years. Orders are still com-
ing IN freely from railroads and CON-
mercial centres, and the demand lie
constantly increasing. Country
roads will soon be dried up, and or
ders will be still further increased.
The idleness Of ffty-seVen mills in
the East will be short.lived. Pud.
oilers there ask for Sc, while pud.
dlers here are paid 1925. The de-
mand is regarded here as reasonable.
Our mills are all in operation. There
are no stocks on hand, and the pro-
ductioa is greatly increased. The
supply Of pig iron is short. and, with
increased prices to be paid on new
contracts and pressing demands, all
reports of decline are pronounced
absurd. In steel.rail production al.
one the capacity will be increased
e6 per cent. this year."

GAME OF Ia"

Go from home to hear home news !
Last week we mentioned that our town,
to our knowledge, had so far ESCAPED
the maddening influences of the "13-
14-15" lunacy. Living in the city, we
thought emily of the city. But from a
suburban hamlet, known as Rural Re-
treat, comes this note, correcting our
mention of the matter, and placing a
blue ribbon around the horns of one of
our cleYerest county officials We pub
lish the award with pleasure, at the same
suggesting to Squire Crouch and his
amiable confreres of Rural Retreat, that
to our average city reader the announce
ment will be read with feelings akin to
what he would have were the place of
victory located at Panther Springs, Rus
sellville or Wits Foundry-too far from
town to investigate. But we're all sat
isfed, now. Keep the peat where it is.
The heart of this entire city pulsates
only to be kept far from Rural Retreats
crowd of 14-13-15 champions.

To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette:
The fell-destroyer, as you call him, as

been knocked higher than q kite some
time ago by our friend, G. s. Crouch,
the inimitable Circuit Court Clerk. who
works the puzzle or game, or DESTROYER.
or whatever you please TO call him, with
perfect iInpunity and indifference. We
have seen him more than once accom-
plish the feat. In justice to him we
would be pleased to see that you notice
the fact in your next issue.

STEP IN THE RIGHT DLREC-

ZION.
We feel justified in saying that there
is no branch of business where skill,
knowledge and honesty are so requisite
as in the manufacture of drugs and medl-
cines. We scarcely realize how much
our lives are in the hands of such manu-
factnrers, or how reckleSsly we purchase
and take or administer To our SICK friends
and children paregOric, cordials, lauda-
mum, oils, &C., without knowing, or
thinking, by whom they were made, or
where, or how; not even asking our
selves the question, whether it is the
article represented or not. Our sick
ones continue to suffer-perhaps die, and
we call it unaccountable, when, in fact,
our sick had received no medicine, aud
their death the result of this almost
criminal tnOughtlessness. The only way
to guard against this is to buy none of
these family medicines, unless they
bear the name of some Well-knOwn,
Competent and reliable maker. We are
glad to see that Sanford, Chamberlain
8 Albers have taken a step in the right
direction, and adopted the device or
trade mark of Three Hearts combined,
which they print upon all Of their es-
sences, oils or medicine labels, in addl-
ton to their firm name; so that buyer
can see, Of a glance, whether that relia-
BILE firm manufactured them or not. We
can not afford to experiment with life,
enough to buy slop shop, unreliable
goods, with only cheap to recommend
them. We, therefore, say, when buying,
be certain and get the label with the
