Every good citizen will hail with plea
sure the announcement that Winstead
Bros. on yesterday set on foot their new
msnufsctory of boots, shoes and gaiters,
ia connection with their tiue shoe store, in
the old Sewanee Block, where they will
guarantee to fit all their friends and pa
irons who may favor them with a call.
They will use nothing but the very best
material, made up by the finest workmen
TO be had ia this or any other section. All
who cannot he fitted in the store can leave
their measure and be thrown into fits in
short order, This factory is designed TO
be the beginning Of large establishment
looking to the citizens and the trade TO
sustain it, giving employment TO fifty or
five hundred workmen just as soon ss the
patronage will justify and arrangements
are fully completed. This is step in the
right direction, and we hope there shall be
no backward move. These gentlemen
guarantee their work 10 every particular
in price, material, style and workmanship

Paace Warrant.

Justices of the Peace hereabouts have
frequent applications for peace warrants,
and not unfrequently these demands are
made on such trIning pretexts as TO create
the impression that there is more malice
TO be gratifed than fear of personal ViO-
lence at the bottom of such prosecutions.
The Justices, of course, have TO be gov
erned by the circumstances of each psrticu-
lar case presented, in either diseharging or
requiring parties TO give bond TO keep the
peace but the frequent application for
such warrants, especially in cases where a
formal hearing ia necessary, is getting TO
be source of considerable annoyance to
the officers of the law, rarely resulting in
any bentfit either to The parties immedi.
ately concerned or the community. A
peaceable citizen who minds his own busi-
ness and allows his neiglbOrS to mind
theirs, rarely, fever, has occasion to apply
for a peace warrant and is never in any
danger of being officially required to keep
the peace towards others.

marketing saw an article purchased on

he sees the laws violated in this respect

had been suffering from a child lgith a

emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been

with remedies. She used the remedies as
directed and in three months was entirely

1t may be proper to state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DIR. Lighthill's treat
