1t is reported that 1890 is the Cen
tennial year of Morristown, and th'
News AND CITIZEN feels under obliga
tion to the people to say that in al
rural towns wheresu event was cele
brated, the remarks have been to th'
effect that it was an enjoyable anC
profitable affair, the main drawback
being that they didn't begin making
arrangements soon enough. Appro
priations of money were too small
and many more people would hav'
returned to the old home had the eel

citizenship. 1t is quite significan
that two enterprises of great impor
tance should have come to focu
about this time-the payment of tn
bonded debt, and the Tannery plant
