To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette
Good morning, DIR. "Sawbones."
How have you been since soaring to
"the land OF the sky," 1t has been
quite while since we have heard from
you, and We had jsst about concluded
thAt yen had about taken mp yeur abode
somewhere in the armament or 'land
Of the sky" and we are puzzled to &C
count for your return 10 this sphere,
but We suppose the rapid revolutions of
some planet has hurled yen off with a
nOt-soon-to-be-conquered centrifugal
force like some meteoric stone, or else
you have peeped into the water and OBJ
served the Fourth moon" and "Quena-
vady has angered and sent you hithsr. f"
How is that, MIR. SRwbonesf We are
glad you have returned any way. We
have always taken . special delight in
reading your spicy letters.
We must commend tNorth Clinch"
for his faithful and elaborate manner of
heralding forth the good tidings from
the neighbsrhood of Thorn Hill. You
are doing . coed work, "Nsrth Clinch; !"
keep things moving to the radoubling
Of their diligence. ~ f- r-.s-
There 10 not whisky shop in Han
cock county at the present, but build
ing is now being erected ut Kyle's Ferd
for the sale of various intoxicating bev-
erages. When country mounts to her
zenith. 1t is her doom to dwindle back
toward nadir. We fear that the fall Of
Hancock will be the next thing to
chronicle Whisky is bad thing in a
neighborhoed. We wish we had q
State Legislature composed OF such
men as John Walker. Of Hawkins coun-
ty. We would soon have a huge change
in whisky matters.
The Hon. A B. Campbell. OF Wash
ington, D. c., is at Sneedville visiting
friends and relatives and getting ON the
outside Of Hancock satmeHts.
We are informed that our sshort
method" ciphsring smith is at Kyle's
Ford, staggering to the influence of the
"sverjoyful."
Our young friend, Mr.. e. N. Tyler,
who carries diplomatical honors frem
Carson College, is now at Anderson
vile, Tenn, studying the theory and
practice of medicines. Mr.. Tyler is a
bright young man, and he bids fair to
be q useful man to Hancock county
some day. There ara great many peo-
pie here, and they have all get to die,
and "a drowning man will catch at q
straw"
There seems to be a spirit in every
youngster to learn the science of music.
Every boy ten years old has French
harp, ON which he blows his favorite
"chunes," and the older boys have I'D
dies and banjoss and accordions, on
which they have "practiced to perfec-
ton" &c which way we may and we
can hear the melodies or q skilled mu-
stefan rattling away en- the "Barlow
knife" or 'Aold granny rattle trap"
Here, we can stag the ssng of the "mu-
steal world"
Musicians who tickle the strings with bow,
Musicians the wsOd and brass who blow,
Musicians for aymbala and both sorts Of drum,
Musicians who love on the keyboard to thrum,
Musicians tof COLOR the banjo who strum,
Musicians with baton, musicians with pen,
HusieiAns-a class Of musical men"
The matrimonial tide ia net ebhing
very high in these psrts just now. We
have not heard Of Wedding for 10,
these many days. II something amt
done before long, we'll have to appoint
a COMMITTEES to stir 'em uP. We have
plenty of Eals-gsod locking, respeeta-
BILE and ready to 20. We shall soon
look for something like this:
Though donf hear from yoa often. my dear,
love you much better, you sinner,
Than the bread made Of rye, the dried apple pie
That's put uD every day for my dinner"
