The Morristown and Cumberland
Gap road was not sold on last Satur-
slrday as advertised, but owing to an
other injunction being filed against it,
Jas. 7. Shields was appointed tempo
rary receiver until the 10th, when the
court meets at Rutledge, Granger
county, at which Judge Smith will
appoint a permanent receiver.
The road is forty miles long and
runs from Coryton, station on the
Knoxville, Cumberland Gap and
Louisville railroad, via Tate Springs,
to Morristown, and is a part of the
system that is proposed, that
is to run from Nashville up the Nola
Chucky valley to Bristol via this
place.

The soldier dishonorably discharged
and the desesters, ayel even deserters
who fought in the Confederate ranks
against country and flag, have been
pensioned and their names placed be-
side the brave and loyal veteran. Such
in brief, ia the record we are asked to
endorse by voting against Cleveland

Johnson City still leads all the other
places along the line in the reports.
The Johnson City and Carolina
branch of the East Tennessee is said
to be one of the most paying divisions
along the line.
Travel on the Narrow Guage is not
so heavy as it was in the Summer

The good citizens of Bluff City are
making strenuous efforts to get the
Holston Valley railroad to come into

The road is chartered to run either

The East Tennessee road is contin-
ually changing its schedule, having
changed it three times in the last six
weeks. On next Sunday they will
change again, and No. 1, which now
arrives here at 2 81 p. M, will arrive
about an hour earlier. This will be a
great convenience to the travelling
public.

AT recent wedding the bridesmaids
were all gOwned in pale rose gray with
big white sashes and big white hats.
The skirts were made after the prevail
ing styles, but did not trail on the
ground. About the bottom was a frlll
of white silk. The waists had deep,
round yokeS of white silk, beneath
which the gray material was gathered
into the waist band. The yokes were
outlined with fluffy mixture of gray
and white feather trimming. The full
sleeves of gray ended in deep white silk
cuffs. Soft white silk sashes, very wide
and very long, were tied loosely about
the waist and fell in loops to the bottom
of the skirt. The hats were Of soft
white felt, wide brimmed in front and
trimmed with white ostrich feathers
and ribbons. This was at noon we'd
ding.
The bridesmaids at an evening we'd
ding wore silk gowns of white watered
silk, striped and shot in the pale rose
color. The skirts we've slightly trained
and the waists made with long Direc-
toire flaps and Directoire revers opening
over vests of white watered silk. The
revers were faced with pink velvet and
full sleeves, ending just below the ell
bow, were OF velvet. Long, white, I'M
crossed kid gloves and white suede slip
pers were worn with these gowns.
The empire gown, which has already
been Illustrated in these columns, is also
an appropriate model for bridesmaids
costumes, with its full, short waist,
straight-falling skirt and sash tied high
on the left side.

bridesmaid is shown. 1t is OF lime-green

trimmed with lace ruffles. A wide

with velvet aud aigrette, is worn with
