Miss Essie Haworth will resume the practice of medicine in a day or two in this city. She was graduated in one of the best medical colleges in Ohio. There are a great many very successful lady physicians in the North. This is not a fashion journal, but we wish to remark that a woman without a bustle looks like a jay bird with its tail feathers pulled out. So we hope that the example said to have been introduced by Mrs. Clevelend will not be followed in Troy. -Troy Press. It is said the Miss Viola Glenn, Miss Tellie Gray and Miss Carrie Guillim are interesting horseback riders. We saw a young girl fly her horse along the boulevard not long ago, as like Cigarette, one of the heroines "Under Two Flags," who flew her horse across the sandy plains in Turkey. (The vote results for Sheriff, Trustee and Assessor are posted at this point but as it isn't complete, it's hard to tell who won what. Elsewhere, the Editor had fussed at the Sheriff for not turning in the vote results in a timely manner. For Sheriff, Brown & Barger; for Trustee, Mynatt & Kittrell; for Assessor, Howard & Ledford.-EC) Notwithstanding the weather is dreadful hot, some of the belligerently disposed enjoy an occasional fight. So true it is, as the eminent John Ruskin says, that men will fight for any cause, and without cause. We are glad to state that, though Mr. Frank Warren has been quite ill, he is now somewhat better. He is plucky and refused to stop his work for a single day, though under medical treatment all the while. All persons indebted to me must make settlement within thirty days. Or to make the matter plain, I intend to place all unsettled accounts in the hands of an officer on the 1st day of August. I mean YOU if you are indebted to me. No reserve. Come up or I will send for you. W.A. Yarber. Dick Hill, George McDonald and Nathan Rothgeb and Miss Misses (sic) Dora Moore, Ella Lillard and Ella Hill had a cheery time at Yellow Creek last Saturday and Sunday. They attended a jolly croquet party on Saturday afternoon and a social entertainment in the evening of the same day. These young gentlemen say that Yellow Creek is a good place to go to if you want to enjoy yourself. We wish through the columns of the News Gazette to extend our thanks to our many friends and neighbors for their kindness during the last illness of our little darling children, Rhoda and Johnnie. James W. Smith and Emily C. Smith, Dayton, Tenn., Aug. 6, 1888. All persons indebted to John H.

McWhirter and M.A. Farell will put in Sunday next at New River, where they will join their wives, whose lives have been cast in the pleasant shades of this cool retreat during the last two or three weeks. It was her that Mr. Farrell exploited two or three saw mills and floated rafts of millions of logs down the boom to the Tennessee river. |
Although there have been rumors in circulation to the effect that Jesse A.
Shaver's candidacy for tax assessor was withdrawn in consequence of
monetary
or other considerations, the NEWS GAZETTE is assured that these rumors are
mere shadows. He did not sell out, nor was he "bluffed" out; he withdrew
his
name as a candidate for tax assessor in the interest of the party to which
he
belongs, and that is all there is in it. He is thankful for the support
he
received.
James Cassady, mention of whose sickness had been made in the columns of the NEWS GAZETTE, died at about 3 o'clock Sunday evening. The cause of his death was typhoid pneumonia. Though a young man of fine physique and strong constitution, the terrible disease cut him down after a hard fight with death. It was thought he would pull through all right some days ago, but fate was against him. Prior to his prostration by sickness and at the time of his deaths he was a member of the police force with a praiseworthy and growing record. He was interred in the city cemetery on Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. His age was twenty-eight; he was popular with his fellows. We are very sorry to announce that A.C. Broyles is on the sick list. Mrs. Charley Carpenter is sick with typhoid pneumonia. E.G. Willingham, of Chattanooga, was in Dayton on Saturday. T.H. Dawley and wife, of Chattanooga, were in town last Saturday.

Wiley, of the People's College faculty, have returned from a visit to Virginia. Our friend Huffaker is home again from a trip through northern and middle Alabama. Huffy, welcome home.

He was looking after his candidacy for State Senator. Mrs. Farrell writes a word of good cheer to friends here from the Dayton summer colony at New River, Tenn. It is the highest point on the C.S. road. W.H. DeLamater is home from Oliver Springs. His wife will spend the heated term there, or at New River, where some of our Dayton neighbors have started a summer colony. The Sequachee News says; "Mrs. Rogers, of Dayton, nee Miss Mary Loyd, of Pikeville, had the misfortune of getting her leg broken Tuesday (instant) by being thrown from a buggy. Kepler, the grocer, says the supply of melons, cantelopes, nutmegs, etc., is in excess of demand. That means a falling marker for these things unless producers reduce the excess by feeding these luxuries to the hogs. Mrs. Doctor Bicknell will remain at Madisonville till the summer temperature has moderated somewhat. The doctor himself was at Madisonville for a few days, to see his better half and to have a romp with his lovely children. The write is indebted to Dr. G.O. Bicknell for a unique campaign pin, bearing upon its frontispiece the stars and stripes, with 1888 stamped upon a white back-ground and transversely across the shield. Beneath the pretty shield is a first-rate likeness of President Cleveland, photographed upon prepared tin, to which is fastened a brass pin. It is a very neat design. Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Stuck gave a delightful entertainment at their suburban residence at Hill City, one evening last week. The chief attraction was the fine music provided for the delectation of the invited guests. Mr. Stuck is a capital violinist and his wife is an accomplished guitarist. That of itself was entertainment enough for the evening. The part was given in honor to Miss Nora Taylor, of this city. The names of the invited guests are as follows: Misses Minnie Myers, Minnie and Ella Williamson, Mary Waltersdorff, Rosie England, Annie and Josie Cunnyngham, Ida Shadden, Nora Taylor, Hattie Taylor, Dora and Maggie Moore, Cillar Henry, Ruth Coulter, Julia Lowe, Messrs.

Gilbert Reed sells pure copper distilled whiskey, brandy and wine for medical use. Finest line of Hammocks in the city at Bicknell & Johnston's. All parties indebted to W.G. Allen, or Allen & Keith, will save cost by making payment at once, as we owe money and must have what is due us at once. 100 coal miners wanted at Coalburg, Alabama, nine miles west of Birmingham, to mine the Pratt seam.
