The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1882-08-23

The two entertainments given by
ROlla Ryan and his father in this place
last week were largely attended. ROlla
draws we'll in Morris;own. The peo-
pie know him and they know how well
he can please them. His programme
each night was rich and varied. He is
an actor OF great ability and in his
facial contortions will compare with
any we have yet seen. Grip Scott,
The Moonshiner," his masterpiece, is
his own production and is rendered
with much credit and effect. 1t is alone
worth double the price of admission.
ROlla is destined to be heard from in
the list Of great actors some day.

The Henry Ql.,) Republican, gives a
new dodge the sharpers have to swindle,
farmers. 1t says: The newest in the
swindling line, and one of the likeliest
to deceive, is being worked on the
farmers in this State. Sharp No. goes
TO farmer and makes him an offer for
his farm at a high figure, which is US
ually accepted, and $50 or so deposited
to bind the bargain. Then Mr.. Sharp's
friend comes along, and offers 81 900 or
more in advance OF the first price. Then
the farmer goes to No. l and by paying
a good round sum, say $500, secures
release. The enterprising fellow who
wanted the land so badly at the highest
figure neglects to come around, and the
farmer is about $3.50 out, which, of
course, is divided by the sharps.

The Climax.

The Pierce robbery-for it can't be
called anything milder-has crept its
slow length along until the numerous
creditors are informed that nearly $l4,-
900 of claims have been filed with the
receiver as against the paltry $4,000 as
sets. What per cent. of dividends will
be declared can only be surmised. The
receiver, Mr.. w. II. Allen, has done his
best toward Strengthening out the mex
plicable affairs Of the estate, and Tor
such is entitled to his compensation
but there ought to be severe penalty
attached for properly Furnishing such
fellows as Pierce, Glavin and Prael &
DuBuisson, who worked for years to
obtain the confidence of the community
in which they lived, and then deliber-
ately robbing them. They arc worse
than the professional who meets you at
midnight and commands you to stand

judicial Decisions.

The suit brought by VIM. L. Wilson,
four or five years ago, for damages
growing out of the tearing down OF a
fence by the city authorities, claiming
that he had INSTRUCTED the highway
leading to the upper ferry, was tried
before Judge Start Oh the Goth of June,
and last week the decision was filed.
The court holds that the title to the
land in question was in Wilson, that
the claim of the city to said premises
was void, inasmuch us there had been
no dedication thereof to the public, and
that the breaking down of plaintiffs
fence was wrong and unwarranted, and
entities him to damages, which the court
estimated at $l5, and gives judgment
for that sum.
The above decision was published
this week in the Mankato ReUie,o, but
the editor of that paper offers no apol-
ogy for the virulent abuse he heaped
upon the innocent head of Mr.. Wilson
some four years ago, when the latter
was endeavOring to protect his rights

Floral Awards.

Last Spring, the officers Of the Pres.
byterian Sunday School OF this city,
gave four varieties of flower seeds to
each scholar who would promise to
plant them and at some future time
pluck the flowers, form u bouquet and
compete for prizes to be offered by the
school. The varieties distributed were
Drummond PhlOx, Sweet Allysum,
Mignonette, and Caliopsis. Consider
able interest was manifested by the
children who watched and jealousy
cared for their flowers from the plant
ing of the seed until they grew and
blossomed. Last Friday niglH was the
time fixed upon for receiving the
numerous floral exhibits. and all day,
baskets of choice, beautiful and frag
rant flowers were taken to the church
and artistically arranged.
A large and finely proportioned arch
was formed, composed of elder bios
SONS, dahlies, geraniums and oak
leaves, while the base and keystone
to the same were of white dahlies
This was the handiwork of Mrs. NJ. G.
Willard and her father, and reflected
much credit tor the taste displayed. In
the center of the arch was cross to
which was attached a multitude of
bouquets, whose combination of colOrs
presented q splendid sight. The COM
mittee on flowers and awards consisted
of Mesdames Harrington, NJ. G. Willard
and Misses Rose, Lewis, and Fletcher.
The awards were as follows:
Best bouquet of four prize varieties,
Bessie Wilson; second best bouquet of
fnr prize varieties, Grace Clark :;
best collection of the best four prize
varieties, Richard Dornberg; best design
four varieties, Charlie Willard; second
best four varieties, Fannie Shepard
best collection of three varieties, Willie
Presley; largest exhibit OF the four va
rieties, Willie Shepard.
The evenings programme consisted
of an address by Mr.. NJ. G. willard; al
essay upon "The Use of Flowers" by
Miss Carrie Fletcher; recitation and
singing by five little girls; a reading
entitled "The Ange! of the Flowers,
by Mr.. Geo. ii. Clarke; and recita
ton, "Poor Little joe" by Charlie!
Willard.
Mrs. Baker and Mr.. Noe had charg'

at the organ.

Good Stock Va. Poor.

1t is an old saying that, che who
makes two blades of grass grow where
but one grew before, is benefactor of
his race" This is proverbially true in
every instance, and prominently 30 in
stock raising. 1t is being demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all farmers that
good stock pays large dividends upon
their cost, while poor stock pays COM
paratively nothing. And it has also
been demonstrated that it costs no
more to raise good stock than it does
poor. This latter fact was foremost in
the mind of Jno. A. Willard, when he
last spring, concluded to stock his farm.
Instead of buying common grades be.
cause they were cheap, he purchased a
full blood Shorthorn bull and lot of
grade heifers, not with any intention of
raising fancy breeds but to improve
upon the common stock. In his pasture
a mile north OF the city he has had all
summer a herd of nearly 100 grade
yearlings, some Of them being fully as
large as common three year old. He
shipped these last Monday to his farm
in Redwood county. Next season he
will stock his farm in LeRay township
with the same class of stock.
To fully realize the virtue of raising
good grade stock one has but to 20 to
GAINESVILLE and look at couple of grade
steers which DeGraff & Hopkins have
in their stables. The mother of these
animals is small, common cow, weigh
ing perhaps 900 pounds. Their sire is
full FLOODED short.horn, and while the
steers are but two years old, they weigh
over $500 pounds each, resulting from
the above cross. Now, at the minimum
price of beef at cents a pound, they
would be worth in the neighborhood of
$3.50 in their present condition. Stall
feed them, and they would bring easily
$50 more. Upon the other hand, COM
mon steer will not average over ! 200
pounds when fit for beef, which, at s
cents pound, would bring $50, or 500
for a pair. Here, then, is difference
of from $3.50 to $3.50 between raising
ordinary stock and grade, while the
cost between the two is comparatively
nothing. 1t Is true that many of our
farmers are comprehending this fact
but there are others who "can't see it.

In all Probability Mankato will
have another Mandatory!
Where Wheelbarrows will be Turned out
by the Millions


Mr.. Harry Walters, who has been ab.
sent for several weeks looking up the
advantages and noting the cost of estab.
fishing and maintaining in Mankato a
Wheelbarrow Mandatory, has returned
home, brim full of valuable information
and business enthusiasm. Mr.. Waters
visited Jackson, Mich, where is located
one of the largest manufactures of
which we speak. to be found in the
country, as also Toledo, Ohio, and Chi
cago, Ills. Upon ascertaining the cost
of material for constructing wheelbar-
rows, shovel, fork, rake handles, etc, in
Michigan, Mr.. Walters finds that from
% to 35 per cent. can he saved here on
the lumber used, from the prices paid
there. The cost of labor will range
about the same.
The old planning mill, on Second
street, has been inspected, and found to lie
excellently adapted for the purposes of
this factory. The building has within
its walls about $4,000 worth of ma
chinery, which can he nearly all utilized,
and negotiations are now pending be-
tween the parties owning it and the pro-
jectors of the mandatory, looking to
the leasing of the same for a series of
years.
The gentlemen at the helm of this
enterprise, Messrs. Harry Walters,
Frank Piper and Geo. l. Lidgerwood,
are all young, energetic and public
spirited individuals, with first.class
businoss abilities. and under their direc-
ton and management, II wheelbarrow
