system. The qaanttarians whose vast internal
doses cnfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow

in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from TO three
harmless pills, and cures the most yirulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless ssiye- ... ..
DIR. Maggiel's Pills and Salve have ushered in
new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ehes of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. 0ne of MaggieI's Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver

space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous. aa .tr

Maurv County Fair.


The Maury County Fair terminated last
Saturday. We only had the pleasure Of
attending, the last day, but understand that
there was great interest manifested all the
week, and that the display Of fine stock was
brilliant Giles county was well represent
ed and, IS she always does, came off vic
torious in nearly every contest for a pre-
MUM. We fell proud old Giles. She
was we'll representa-, by some of our
hGndsomest ladies and gallant gentlemen,
as well as BY our Gue stock-contriSul
perhaps, more to the interest Of the ocea-
sion than any othor county. We were
glad to pay 1Laary back in this way. A.
our recent Fair she contributed Compare
lively nothing. either in entries of stock or
in visitors. Our Fair excelIed theirs in
every respect save in point Of numbers
Their accommodations for visitors to get
to and from the Fair were very poor
many ladies and gentlemen having to walk
both ways. Columbia forgot to provide
any amusement at night for tbs vast crowd
that was there, while Pulaski had brilliant
entertainments each evening, aGording
amusement to her numerous guests.
On Saturday the crowd was estimated At
about 5000, assembled to witness the tour
uament, which was pronounced by all a
brilliant entertainment. The Knight of
the Lost Cause, Mr.. Milton VOORHEES,, won
the first prize, Mr.. Vim. R. Pillow the
second for sabre exercises, and Mr. Wal
ter Pillow the third for pistol shot. Miss
Augusta Pillow, one Of Maury's most beau
tilul and accomplished daughters, was
crowned by the successful Knight in the
presence Of the immense crowd Of specta-
tors, all agreeing that il was properly be-
slowed and gracefully received. The
maids Of honor were Misses Molle Dale
and Mary Arnel After the exercises had
closed, the immense crowd dispersed, get
ting to town the best way they could. We,
in company with several others from Pu-
laski, walked about half way, then hired a
blind cart with three wheeled horse to
carry us the balance OF the way. Our
crowd left Columbia at 10 O'Clock in Jolly
mood. and after an exceedingly pleasant
ride, landed at Pulaski at u O'Clock, all
rejoicing that we had witnessed tho grand
tournament, The result Of which we give

Legislatnre.

A movement has been started IN the
Legislature looking to the repeal of the
Onerous tax ofone per cent. on nerchau-
disc, which we hope to see pass.
A bill has been introduced proposing to
make legal all contracts for the use of mon
ey at Q per cent. per aGnum, or less, ac-
cording to agreement. and where no spe-
ciai rate is mentioned, seven per cent
shall be the legal rate.
There is also movement to encourage
manufacturers by exemptiug capital in
vested from taxation for number of years.
A good move.
A bill to indemnify loyal citizens for los
ses during the war, has been introduced.
1t will doubtless be defeated by West and
Middle Tennessee members.
A bill has been introduced to prevent
persons not qualified as voters, from ap-
pearing at any place of election for the
purpose of issuing tickets or influencing
votes" under penalty OF a fine of not less
than 500 or more than $500, and impri
sonment Of not less than three nor more
