Several bills have been introduced in

erans. Amovg otners, one by Jir.
Uouk, of the Second district. Tbe
Chm.kle, the most influential Republi
can newspaper in the South, in an ar
ticle advocating tLe pensioning of the
veterans, says:
"The survivors of our Alexican-war
army ought to be all pensioned. That
army gave more military glery to the
American naiie than ali the armies wr
have ever raised. That army gave us a
ten itory that rounde t our national do
main into fullncs. We have always
loved and honored the veterans who
fought under Taylor and Scott, and that
man who des out honor and recpect
them wants something to complete the
ationality of his patriotism."
Not so fast, any friend, if you could
see the large body ef men and boys who
daily throng the clothing establishment
of J. A. Rice, you would say "Glorious
and invaluable man" and henceforth
proceed to buy your clothing of him.
When a country merchant (remarks
one of our esteemed contemporaries,)
aks tbe rate of advertising In hi coun
ty paper and is told that it I ten cents
a line it take his breath away. Such a
man would never succeed as a merch
ant in New York or Chicago, where be
could not do business without advertis
ing and the advertising rates would scare
bint to death. Tbe Chicago Tribune gets
$20,000 for the use of one of its col
umns a year. The New York Tribune,
for its lowest column, gets $25,000 and
for it highest $5,000 a year. The New
York Herald gets a high as $300,000 a
year for one column, and it 1 always
crowded with advertisements, too.
Good businessmen know the ralue of
advertising. Short-sighted ones do not.

closed of this institution bas been even
more prosperous than its friend antici

A gdssipv, on-the-wlng up country
correspondent of the Chronicle has Ibis
pleasant and complimentary record to
make of Morristown and her people :
In an hour and a quarter Morristown,
42 miles away. Is reached. Here we can
change cars atd go to Warm Springs,
43 miles off, in tbe French Broal gorge
and sliii further if disposed to Ashe
ville, iu North Carolina. Next season,
if reports are true, passengers will be
able to go beyond Asheville to Hender
son, and from there to Columbia aud
Charleston, South Carolina, only a short
gap of railroad construction being
neeceary to accomplish the result.
Morris-town is bright and evidently
hopeful. It is a comparatively ne
town and has a trad that ia increasing.
Directly, tbe inhabitants hope to have
a railroad to Cumberland Gp, and once
ia Kentucky, to Cincinnati, or some
point on the Ohio River. They have a
notion that they will be able to take a
part of the wind out of the sail of
Knexrille not much, but a little, you
know, in order to show that some things
can be done as well as other. There
is just enough in this It keep Knoxville
from lszily dozing, aud an eye is being
kept to windward, as the nautical men
sav. Morristown mu-t have 1,500 or
2,000 inhabitants. Ridiculously, asitia
thought by ouUiee observers, they have
contrived to put their court-house out
of town. Why, the e pie of the vicin

WOOLEN MILLS.
AH honor, isy we, to the eoterprhing
spirit of Ibe business men of Morris
town. We may not succeed in securing
the woolen mills, but we are now con
fident that we deserve success. Last
Friday morning a number of our busi
ness men met in the office of Judge W.
McFarland, to take into consideration
the propriety ef adopting measures to
secure the erection of a woolen factory
here. Dr. M. Carriger was called to
the chair and W. H. Coffman was ap
pointed secretary. Remarks were made
by Col. O. C. King, Judge Wm. Mc
Farland, Dr. Carriger, Capt. J, C. Hod
ges and Wm. Van Huss. Jt was resolv
ed that a purse be raised by voluntary
subscription te purchase, or aid in pur
chasing, a suitable site for the faetory,
to be donated to B. F. Stevens & Bro.
A committee was appointed to solicit
subscriptiens, and the meeting adjourn
ed until Saturday morning, 10 o'cloc' .
At that time the meeting convened and
tbe committee reported that $700 bad
been subscribed, and expressed the be
lief that the amount would be increised
to very nearly $1,000. Subjoined is a
list of the subscribers to the fund, at
the close of the meeting on Saturday
morning :
Wm. Van Huss & Bro.; O. C. King;
Brown & Stubblefleld: Goodson & Blair;

It is to be regretted that the names ef
some of the wealthiest citizens of the
town are conspicuous for their absence
from the list. We are informed, how
ever, by a member of tbe committee,
that Merntt & McCrary will subscribe
liberallj-, upon the return of Mr. Mc-
Ciary, and it is thought that some oth
er gentlemen will yet make libetal sub
scriptions. The Gazette will cheer
fully publish a complete list of subscrib
ers to the fund when furnished. All
honor, say we, to the public spirited
citizens who are doing so much to se
cure the builJing of a wo:len factory
here. Such an enternrise would not
nly pay the propr'etors handsomely,
hut would benefit' every nian, wman

ANCIENT ORDER UNITED WORK
MEN.
The monthly financial statement ef
Supreme Recorder 8acket, of, the Anci
ent Order of United Workmen, makes a
most gratifying exhibit for the mem
bers of this order. During the past
thirty days $184,000 was paid out to
widows and orphans. A splendid lodge
was organiz-d at Ooltawab, James
county, on the 5th f this month, by
D. G. M. W. Dr. G. W. Stewart. Dr
Stewart Is one of the bet organizer
the order has. The order bas been in
existence over fifteen yesrs, and is to
day Increasing more rapidly and is in a
more prosperous condition than ever.
It bas a general relief law that provides
for any emergency in the way of an ex
cessive death rate in any one of the
jurisdictions. It has the safest and best
financial system that could po-sibly be
devised by men of long experience in
beneficiary orders; the laws governing
this department have given such entire
satisfaction that they have not been
changed lor several years. Should
there be any outstanding liabilities af
ter issuing twenty-eight assessments
for the twelve months eading May 1,
1884, they will be turned over u the
supreme ledge as this is the highest
rate the order can be assessed io any
one year in Tennessee. The order
guarantees absolute safety, protection
and security to all members who pay
their assscs8ments promptly within the
time prescribed by the regulations. The
growth of this great beneficiary order
has been marvelous. It has paid out in
the order at large about $7,300,000; of
this amount $375,000 was received by
the widows and orphans residing here
in Tennessee. The total membership
of the order is 126,767.

but that they want GOOD books rather
than trash, and the "Literary Repub

CHRISTMAS CAROLS.
A CHRISTMAS POEM.
"One of the Shepherds of Bethle
hem," is the title of a devout Christian
poem published anonymously. It giTes
the shepherd's story of the appearance
of the angel whe announced the glad
tidings of the birth of Christ; he closes
his wonderful story with these lines:
I anrely heard tbe angel ay, "
"To toc a child Is born to-day ; , :
A Saviour csto too la given I" t
Obtby! art thou born to ma T
Henceforth my inmost heart ehall be
Thy slavr, to gladly worship thee.
O human Child I ' O Child DiTine t ;
Art thou a SaTiour T Art thou mine,
: Mini, whom herald angela aanf ,- .
VIxvb, for whom the heavens rang,
Aa for OodB own Son and heir,
Fit rejoicing to prepare T
Never more can I repine ;
Thou art mine, forever mine I
The poem goes on to tell how the
shepherd studied the prophecies of the
coming Christ, and how
Guarding hia flock, the shepherd went,
Cpon the Holy Babe Intent ;
Aa In a manger ruda and wild,
Within hia heart ha bore the Child,
And less to earth and more to heaven, .
His dally thought and care was given.
The shepherd's heart, once fierce and wild.
Grew pure and peaceful, meek and mild.
Iide the most Holy, Holy Child,
Till down the sky an angel trod, -With
darkne-s veiled, w ith silent shod, ,
And bore him to the heart of God.
The poem, which is the expression of
deep religious feelings, closes with these
lines :
0 Shepherd! on that shining night
Thou sawest him, the ''Light of light."
Tbe Babe of Bethlehem, the King
Who doth our hearts renew, and bring
Adorning at his feet to sing!
1 envy not that unto thee
Was given the Holy Child to see,
Jesus! who eame for thee and me;
Nor. that I see him not, will grieve :
I shall behold him! and my brow
His blessings crowneth, even now;
"Blessed are they,"
I hear him aay,
-Who have not seen me, yet believe,"
My faith this blessing doth receive. s
If y Lord! my life! mj Joy! my Light -These
songs that sing to me by night'.
These voices, and these visions bright,
Thou glvest, thou! my heart's delight.
O Christ! thy Kingdom hath increased;
The praise of angels hath' not ceased?
And the sweetest song in heaven or earth
Is still the story of thy birth.
So, Christmas Is here again !
While the house sleeps, quiet aa death.
'Neath the midnight moon comes the Waits' shrill
tune,
And we listen and hold our breath . u .. 1
The Christmas that mgbt have been .
It ia borne in the far-off sound.
Down the empty street, with the tread of feet
That lie silent underground.
The Christmas we have and hold.
With a tremulou, tender strain
Half Joy, half fear. Be the paalm of the years,
"Grief passes, blessings remain 1"
The Christmas that God will give,
Long after all these are o'er, .
When Is day nor nhfht, for the Lamb is our light,
And we live for evermore.
X). M. MuLocr.
Sweet Christmas bells are ringing
Glad muaio round the earth.
And voices bright are singing
The Stery of Hia birth.
Who came an Infant lowly.
And in the manner lay,
To save, and make ua holy,
To turn our night to day.
But as we sing, we listen;
For songs o'er Xiethlebem's plains,
Where heav'nly splendors glisten,
Break forth In wondrous strains,
To ths Shepherds meek revealing
That Christ, the Lord, is come.
To give His peopln healing,
And bring His loved ones home.
To these aweet nofces of gladiness,
Let eager heart reply,
Tot Christ bath binish'd sadness.
And ain and sorrow die.
We hasten forth to meet Thee,
O ! Babe, O ! King, with songs
Of Christmas J oy we groet Thee,
And shouts of happy throngs.

The Printer1 Circular makes the fol
lowing sensible suggestion concerning
that important institution, the local
newspaper : A largt portion ef people
do nothing to support their local paper,
yet reap the benefit syery day of the
editor's work. A man mav sav. "ad-
vertising does not pay in business."
And yet the fact Is, but for the paper,
the town in which be does business
would be unknown ; tbe railroad over
which he ships his goods would be un
built, and he himself would be unheard
of if it were not for the newspapers he
says does him no good. ' The local pa
per is of advantage to every man in the
community, and when a man refuses to
contribute to the support of the paper
on the ground that "it does him no
good," he might just as well refuse to
pay his taxes for the support , of the
courts and polico force, on the same
ground that he never breaks the law
and does not need any officers.
