MARYVILLE INDEX October 30, 1878
Wednesday, October 30, 1878



Michael Myres died of paralysis at his house 2 ˝  miles south of Morristown on

the 19th inst.



The “Pleasant Hill Church” at Sandy Springs, where our friend, Mr. J.B.

Cothran, has been taeching school, was burned down last Thursday night. It is

supposed that it caught from the stove, which was left with too much fire

therein.



While at Tuckaleechee Cove last week, we were shown the Big Spring. Mr. J.K.

Walker, who showed us this remarkable spring, told us that it belonged to Mr.

L.P. Dunn. It comes out at the base of a spur of the mountain, and has been

confined by embankments so that the stream runs Mr. Dunn’s saw and grist mill

on the spot, and two others further down. We were told that at times it spurts

up six feet from the ground. It is a remarkable stream, and well worth looking

at.



We are sorry that Maryville is to lose another of her citizens. Mr. C.E.

Aaron, leaves tomorrow with his son, Frank, for Trenton, N.J. The good wishes

of their many friends follow them to their new home.



Four of our jail-birds last Saturday night sawed a hole in their cage, and

thought somewhat of taking their departure. The four were Martin Davis,

Fletcher Emmett and John Lakey, charged with murder, and W.C. Jackson, that

Georgia fellow, so well known to some of our readers as the man whom Sheriff

McCarter, of Ga., wants to see. But, alas! The hole was too small for anyone

save our sly and slender friend Jackson, who alone wiggled through, and was to

tend to the jailer, take his keys and unlock the rest. The jailer, however,

discovered the state of affairs and made Jackson crawl through that same hole

into the cage again. The four have concluded to board a little longer at

Rule’s Hotel.
