/ 70 the Editor Of The MOrristown Gazette
- In all former communications,
have not been called upon to an
.nounee anything sad IN reference to
friends in Texas. To-day 4 would
the background the sad
news, if itheould ass1age the grief
ola sad household But, already
the dread messenger has come and
borne hence one of the best men.
Last night, a little before midnight,
John B. Jones died, after a severe
sickness of about ten days.
Those who knew him at Morris
town will remember that he never
was robust. He has been an inces-
SAINT worker since in. Texas. He
bought farm, consisting mostly of
unbroken prairie, a few years ago.
He had built a comfortable home for
his family and improved his farm
Gam it seemed he was just in con-
dition to enjoy the comforts of home,
surrounded by all that is endearing
to man here. God willedotherwise.
Ten days ago be was taken severely
sick. From the first his brain was
badly involved. All that medical
skill and tender nursing could do,
was rendered. After the congestion
was relieved, his physical strength
was exhausted. He could not sur
vive.
This is one of the dark dispensa-
tions Of Providence. Mr.. Jones was
an upright man in the true sense of
the word. His character as a man,
a citizen, father, a husband,
christian, was without a blemish.
He leaves a devoted wife and five
children. May the Great Shepherd,
who "tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" throw around the widow and
the fatherless children a covering
that will protect them from many
of the ills of this life. A. WV. =

LETTER FROM REV HP. VA UGH


To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette O.
-. As told you when Isaw you last
that you might expect to hear from
me, / reckon you begin to think it
is time was redeeming my prom
Use. But what shall l say? Well, in
the first place / will say that for the
last five weeks it has been rain, rain,
rain, almost continuously, until now
the roads are in a wretched eondi-
ton; but suppose it is making up
for the excessive drouth of the last
year. The Tennessee river is full
but still not out of banks. s.
My field of labor this year is In
the valley between the river and
Walden's ridge and mostly along the
Cincinnati Southern railroad. 1t is
astonishing what a change thisroad
has brought about in the way OF inn
provements. Three considerable
towns have sprung up all within
twenty miles, viz: Spring City, Ey-
ansvillo and Dayton. From the first
mentioned place theyare building
narrow guage railroad across Valid
ems ridge into Swagerties' Cove, in
order to reach the coal, iron ore and
timber which are found there in
abundance. This road will be com
pleted in few months. A road is
also row building from Dayton a few
miles north for the same purpose.
These roads give employment to sew
eral hundred hands and make times
lively. -, San -
Men are coming down from Ohio
and other Northern States on every
train looking at the country, hunt
ing lands and looking out for places
of business. They seem to be pleas
ed and delighted with the country.
The truth is, East Tennessee is the
| garden spot of the United States, if
managed right. l have been in
thirteen States and have never found
its superior.
l congratulate Morristown on the
prospect of the early completion of
4 the Buncombe road, and of the .ex-
tension to Cumberland Gap. If the
railroad authorities and the men of
means in the South were to take the
proper steps, that is, send agents to
Europe and over the Northern
| States, and to Castle Garden, New
| York, stream of emigration would
be started South that would aston
ish the natives, and the tide of pros
perity would rise moro rapidly.
| In the great freshet Of 1867 the
steamboats, came out and anchored
| in the streets of w Washington, which
is more than a mile from the river.
sifsany one should inquire after
me, you can tell them I am an a
grand country and among alaelever
| people, who seem to be satisfied with
their preacher. q s1YzAa 4 -sz'so
I | might have said, if it keeps on
8 raining a few days longer, we may
see the steamboats, in the streets OF
4 " ashingt0n again sssss.ia :
i Ehope to see you in a few weeks.
