FROM ANOTHER C0RRESPON-
DENT.

To the Editor Of the MorristOvn 6azsits:
Il was my pleasure to be present ut
the diScussiOn at Beams Station, be-
tween the candidates Of the First Con-
gressi0nal District, on yesterday, the
25Lh inst, Col. q. c. King and Major
A. IL Pettibone- The valley and noun
tain people were well represented, iu
fact n large aud Intelligent audience
did justice to the occasion with their
presence. Col. o. c. King led of in
one Of his finest efforts, and delivered
such a speech IS to cause his Republi-
can hearers TO believe that the right
man had the inside track-the cheering
was not so great on the occasion as
have known I'm Morristown, but was
sufficient to bring about uncomfortable
emotion from Major Pettibsne. Major
Pettibone in reply tn Col. Kings arEu-
ments made a tame effort, so much so
that in an interview with 4 number Of
the mountain voters, was informed
that Col. Kings speech was so convinc-
ing on the issue OF the day, that was
told, no man had ever so wildly repre-
sentsd the views and interest Of the
present issue as our "StAr Spangled
Orator" on the occasion.
Pnsr TO the Convention at Greene
vile, our people on Chucky river were
divided a. 10 who the nominee should
be AT the Convention at Greeneville, a
large number favored the nomination
Of Judge Fulkerson, but since which
time our people are a unit for Col. o.
e. King. In the election Of the Dem
ocratic nominee our country known as
East Tennessee with all its mineral in
terest, with It's beautiful rivers aud val
leys, with It's coal and other numerous
interests undeyeloped, will. through
the election Of Col. King cause the
whole country to bloom like a rose and
cause every enterprise to grow and
flourish. ~

There Is a prevalent opinion that good
photographs can not be made in cloudy
weather. This is a mistake, as by the
new, quick dry-plate process which j..
NJ. Honey uses exclusively, the finest

A Word to the People.

On and after the FIRST DAY OF OCTo-
Der, we have decided to make a change
in our business from Credit to Spot Cash,
Make statesmen of cur boOk-keepers, cut
down expenses, and thereby save for
our customers at least 10 per cent. in
prices of our goods. 1t is not fer the
lack of confidence in eur good people
that we refuse to sell them goods ON
time, but that we may be BETTER ABLE
to keep up aoith the tinaes-as the credit
system is and must be numbered with
the things of the past before any firm
wish limited capital can succeed in
business; and when you have examin-
cd our SPoT CASH PRICES, you will then
be convinced that other neighbor mer-
chants who do q credit business cannot
compete in prices with those who sell
for cash.
We are now receiving daily a large
stock of goods, bought in the best mar
ket in the United States and at prices
acknowledged to be lower than ever
before-enabling us to give you the
lowest prices on goods ever ever heard
of in this country. We only ask ysu
to come and see for yourselves, price
our goods, and if they are not lower
than you ever saw them before we will
not ask you to buy. We mean bust
ness. Don't ask MS for credit. SPOT
CASH Is our motto. We pay cash for
all kinds of country produce. Bring US
what you have to sell and get the cash.
Thanking you for yeur liberal patron
age in the past and asking for a con-
tinuance of the same, we are
