ADJOURNED MEETING.

At an adjourned meeting of the
Board of Directors of the NJ. c.. G..
: & o. r. r. Co, held at the office OF
the President on Saturday May 18th
inst, after a report from the COM
mittee consisting of'Judges Shields
and Mcfarland upon the subject
and after full discussion, it was unan-
imOusly resolved to extend the time
of the contractors for commencing
work for six months from that date.
This action seemed necessary to
enable the various companies CONS
posing the through line to make
arrangements for consolidation and
for harmonious action, rs well as to
give the people further time to eX-
press their interest in the great en-
terpiise by subscriptions ofs,ock.
1t was also resolved that each di-
rector present would take subscrip-
ton paper and during the incoming
(present) week call upon the clti-
zens of MOrristown for such an ex-
preston Of interest.
And be it said to the credit of the
directory that eight of them have
come down with an average subscrip-
ton of fourteen hundred and forty
four dollars each, and the other
three when waited upon will doubt
less do as well.
Already part only of the citizens
of MOrristOwn have subscribed over
twenty thousand dollars in solvent
stock, and at the meeting referred
to, the hope was freely expressed
that the list couli be more than
doubled in and about Morristown
and the opinion was as freely ex-
pressed that such a success here
would assure the building Of the
line by way of our town.
1t ought to be remarked that
young business man not yet estab-
lished in business here but who will ,
shortly 1--WE venture to say make [
felt among us, almost unsO- '
-icited, walked up and made hand {
some subscription to stock. t
We beg to ask our readers in !
Hamblen to 'think fast on this !

NCRRLSTO WIS NEED.

There is one thing lacking in
Morristown-one thing which is es-
sential to the prosperity ofany town.
We refer to a public hall. The want
of one has long been felt, and the
lack of it has deprived us of many
pleasures which otherwise would
have fallen to our lot. We have
not so much as an eight By ten room
suitable to accommodate a crowd
that might be called together by
any public entertainment. We are
n lover of the drama, and believe
that, in its way, it exercises a good
influence and from what we know
personally, we can say that had we
a town hall our public entertain
ments would be more varied and
good and we are satisfied our grow
ing city would be benefited very ma
terially by the acquisition of such
an enterprise. 1t would not only
be a standing advertisement, a con-
venienoe and pleasure, but it would
prove in a short while quite remu-
nerative to its proprietors. Let
some public spirited citizen take
the matter into consideration. 1t is
something that is needed and some
thing that 'cH pay.

4 SAD COMMENTARY.

1t cannot be otherwise than hui
initiating to any right-minded citi-
zen of Morristown to visit our Gem
etery and look upon its dilapida
ted and uncared- for condition. Such
was the feeling of a representative
I of the GAZETTE the other day upon
the occasion of the burial Of a promi-
nent citizen. Its present condition
is a sad commentary upon the pride
and public spirit of Morristown, to
say nothing of what is their duty to
the departed friend orrelative. Sew
eral efforts have been made to put
the Morristown cemetery in order
and give it that appearance Of neat
ness and care that the common die
tates of decency and propriety de-
mand, So far, all efforts in this be-
half have met with failure, or only
partial success, at least The spirit
which prompted these efforts was
highly proper and commendable,
and we are disposed to belive that
the small amount of good done by
the various efforts resulted more
from bad management and misdi-
rection than anything else. We have
frequently in the pastalluded to this
subject and now call the attention of
our citizens to it again, feeling that
any appeal we make to them, in a
matter of this importance willnot be
treated with indifference. Some
thing must be done. 1t will not do
to suffer our burial ground-the 81
lent and honored place of our dead
to go shabby, ragged, unkept, and
uncared-for, as heretofore. One of
the most destructive marks of an
advanced civilization and enlight-
ened morality is found in the sac
red and beautiful practice ofputting
away the dead with every evidence
of intelligent regard and keeping
the grass above our departed and
loved ones fresh and green. Not to
do this reveals a backward state of
society and low stage of christian
refinement. Now who is there in
our midst who will earnestly, ener-
getically and quickly take this mat
ter i'm hand? 1t will take thorough
organized effort and well directed
energy to accomplish any material
benefit in this matter Irregular.
inharmonious action will
not avail anything. However we
believe the object is easy of accom-
plishment. As to whether it would
be best to adopt new location for
cemetery, and abandon the old one,
except to keep it in decent repair,
are questions of detail, and can east
ly be arranged hereafter Let the
movement for improvement be set
on foot at once. This is a duty that
no one can shirk and escape GEN.

town during the publication of the
HOiston Methodist here some years
ago, died of consumption at Sun
bright, Morgan county, Tenn,
Monday morning of last week. The
RodHe County Republican in men
tioning his death says, the saddestof
all was that some two weeks ago
Mrs. Kennedy was called by a tele-
gram to LOnOke, Ark, to see an on
~ daughter, who was supposed to
be dying, at which point she re-
ceived a telegram, but too late, to
return to the side of a dying hus-
band.
