One box Of ORTON'S PREPARATION is
aoa,ranted to destroy the appetite for tobacco
in any person. no matter hew strong the hab-

to break off from the use of tobacco by the
mere exercise of the will. Something is
needed to assist nature in overcoming habit
so firmly rooted; with the help of the Prep
aration there is not the least trouble Hum
dreds have used it who are willing to bear wit
ness to the fact that ORToN's PREPARATION
completely destroys the appetite for tobacco
and leaves the pelsen as free from any desire
for 1T as before he commenced its use. His per-
Jectly safe and harmless in all cases. The Prep
aration acts directly upon the same glands
and seeretions affected by tobacco and through
these upon the blood, thoroughly cleansing the
poison of te bacoo from the system, and thus
allaying the unnatural cravings for tobacco.

N Bierfeld, of Franklin,
who instigated the murder of
young Ezell for having avenged a
nameless outrage committed by a
negro upon his sister, was recently
killed by unknown persons, and
although he was against Grant, the
Radical papers are trying to make
political capital out of it!

ER "1tis said that President
Johnson declared the other day
that the calling out of Brownlow's
militia would be unconstitutional,
and that he would protect the cit
liens with Federal soldiers. IF
this be true, it is cheering to every
lover of peace and good order
Serious collisions, we believe, will
surely follow the quartering of
militia, unless the President adopts
protective measures.

THE CRoPs.-From the monthly
Agricultural Report for July> we
learn that there have been nearly
three million more acres of corn
planted this year than last. There
has been an increase in Tennessee
of l27 ,2l5 acres. The wheat crop
is of the very best kind, the yield
being immense. There has been
a reduction in the acreage of cotton
in every State except Texas,
where there is an increase of 33 per
cent. over last year. 4 There is a
falling off in Tennessee of 20 per
cent. With this diminished
breadth there is cleaner and better
culture, SO that the yield may be
equal to last year, the season being
equally favorable.
