The paradise that the staIw

The paradise that the stalwart
American women are striving for
can be found in the heart of Africa.
There the women sit in the councils
of the nation, and a young man en-
tering upon the matrimonial state
must remove to the village of his
wife. Here, too, the wife can di-
vorce the husband a man can not
enter into a contract without the
consent Of his wife. A contempora-
ry thinks a few delegates from Afri-
ca might be of good to the cause, for
they at least can speak from expert
ence, of what to us are yet untried
laws.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SPECIAL
MEETING OF THE CORPORA
TON BOARD. = H.


A special meeting of the Corpor-
alton Board of our town was held
last Wednesday night, with refer
ence to the matter of the corpora
ton taking stock in the Morristown,
Cumberland Gap and Ohio Narrow
Gauge railway.
The following petition from the
undersigned citizens of the town
was read
To the Mayor and Aldermen of MOrristown:
Your petitioners, citizens of the
town, would respectfully represent
that they are interested in the pro
ject of building railway from Nor
ristown to Cumberland Gap; and
they believe that the building of the
road depends in a great measure on
the course the town of Morristown
may take. They further believe
that the inception of the enterprise
will, of itself, greatly enhance the
value of property in MorristOwn,
and that the population Of the town
will greatly increase as the work
progresses; that the building of the
road will promote the building of
factories and secure the employment
of labor at remunerative prices and
greatly increase the taxable value of
property in Morristown. So beliey-
ing, your petitioners submit that the
corporation of Morristown should
take stock in the Morristown, Cum
berland Gap and Ohio railroad COM
pany, and they do respectfully petit
ton and pray your honorable body
to submit to the citizens of the town
the propriety of taking ten or fifteen
thousand dollars of stock in said
company, and issuing the bonds OF
the corporation on ten years time
with 6 per cent interest, in payment
therefor. And your petitioners will
