was commenced-was taken up yesterday,
before Judge Staley, sitting in the Criminal
Court, in the case of D. G. Lusby, charged
with the murder of Will c. Mabry; Christ
mas eve. The sessions of the past two days
have been held in the Circuit

been the case since the beginning, large
crowds of spectators have been in attend
ance
The first argument yesterday morning
was by J. w. Caldwell, fer the State. He
was followed by j. G. =. Williams and Maj.
E. G. Camp, closing for the defense, the
three speeches consuming the day. Col.
W. A. Henderson will close for the State

.On to Cumberland Gap"

The above exclamation is the watchword
with our friends and neighbors of Morris
town, and it is encouraging to see that the
enterprising citizens of that town are fully
alive to their future and prospective railroad
connections. As we learn from the Gazette,
an enthusiastic meeting was held at Morris
town last Saturday, in the interest of the
proposed railroad from that place to Cum
berland Gap. Speeches were made by
Hon. VIM. Mcfarland and Mayor A. II.
Gregg, pointing out the advantages of such
a connection, the benefits of which to Nor
ristown are inestimable and incalculable.
Most all present subscribed stock, and a
motion was carried to solicit subscription
of $25, 900 from Hamblen County. The
meeting adjourned till Saturday, June 10th.
1t gives US pleasure to notice tnat Norris
town is alive to this important connection,
and the outlook is encouraging.

Dot. From Marshall, N. C.

MR. EDITOR: As railroad communication
is now open between Knoxville and Wes-
tern North Carolina, it will probably be of
interest to some of your readers to know
something about this section. As Marshall
is the first town of any importance reached,
1 will give you few dots from this point.
The old pioneers of this country, in locating
the town of Marshall, selected this spot be-
cause it is the best fortified, naturally, of
any other. The river ON one side protects
it from invasions, and the mountain
on the other, stands guard against enemies
of all kinds. The railroad could not find
room to pass through the town, and as it
could not climb the mountains it had to
take the river; hence the long trestle you
cross in passing Marshall. The town has
come fully up to the expectations of its
founders, and has filed every available spot
of level ground with nice houses. The peo-
pie are prosperous and intelligent, and while
they have been cut off from railroad and
telegraphic communication, they are not
behind in the cultivation of fine arts. A
society has been formed called ''The Art
Mineuett Association" having for
it's object the advancement of art
and the encouragement of matrlmony.
The officers of this association are all cul-
tivated gentlemen and will give their best
efforts to make success of the enterprise.
MIR. David Lawson is president, Fl. B.
Runion is vice. president, j. G. Craigmiles
is secretary and treasurer, and with Col.
Jim Nichols as grand moderator, we look
for everything to be done in good style
These young men are all anxious to sacri-
fee themselves for the good of the cause
in which they have enlisted. We cheerfully
recommend them to all good looking ladies.
Marshall has two hotels kept in the very
best style and a tired traveller cannot find a
better place to rsst Commercially it is one
of the best towns the commercial evan
gelst" can strike. Here we find ten good
stores, kept by reliable men who are polite
to all drummers, whether they bup of them
or not. AS yet there is no depot at this
place, whether it is for want of a place to
put it or not 1 don't know; but surely the
business of this place viii justify better ac-
commodations than the merchants have
got. All are expecting to come to Knox
vile on the excursion which we understand
will be the last of July.
Yours, &C., x.Y.Z
