THEYBIG PANTHER SEEN.
But not Captzred.


The party of hunters who have been
securing The hills and valleys of Whites
Creek for several days past in search Of a
panther, came across the "varrninl" 6
little before daybreak yesterday morning.
They came upon him rather Unexpectedly
and attempted to surround him, but as be
made bound, the horses became SO much
alarmed that the riders had no control
over them, and thus the animal was allowed
to make his escape. He was fred upon
several times, but the shots did not take
effect. The animal is described as being
larger than the ordinary size. and his fer
ocious appearance satisfied all that he will
not be easily captured. The hunters, how
ever, say that they will have him, if il
takes all the summer, and some of the boys
expect q heavy reward in the way Of an
appropriation from the Legislature when
be il brought In,

Meeting OF the Edgeaeld City Council.
An adjourned meeting Of the Edgefeld
Board Of Aldermen was held last night.
Present--Mayor Glenn, and Aldermen
Sanford, stubbefsld, Guild, Campbell,
Woodford and Sharp.
Mr.. Sanford from the committee appoint-
ed to confer with the representatives. OF the
Shelby estate relative to the grievances
complained of, submitted a proposition
from them in writing with the new bound-
aries proposed.
Mr.. Sanford said that he could not think
of entertaining the proposition. BE thought
there was still some justice left, and he
would guarantee that the Legislature would
never pass bill for The benefit of one
family TO the exclusion of the people at
large.
Mayor Glenn said that bis views had
materially changed since the meeting on
the previous night. Then be supposed
that the parties complaining were willing
to come forward in the proper spirit, and
offer compromise upon fair terms. But
the yindictive spirit exhibited by them
had convinced him TO the contrary. He
was willing to be led by the nose, but he
could never submit to be driven, and lei
whatever might come, he would stand OF
fall by this people.
Mr.. Stubblefeld thought that, as q
Board of Aldermen, We could not maintain
our self-respect if we were to entertain foi
a moment such proposition.
Mr.. Guild said he would let what prop.
erly he owned sink into the ocean before
he would submit to the demands of the
one family power.
Mr.. Woodford said that he had been
willing to meet them in the spirit first pro.
posed, but their demands had increased Il
an alarming extent.
Mr.. Campbell said he had not changed
his opinion much. He thought from the
first that the proposition was an insult tc
the Board.
After some further discussion, Mr.. GUILD
moved that the committee be discharged
from the further consideration of the sub
ject, which motion prevailed unanimously
| And the Board then adjourned to the
next regular meeting.

delicious bread of all kinds. He will
supply weddings, parties and families with
anything desired, in part or the entire out

Nashville, and in a style never surpassed

TREATMENT OF CATARRH.

Our method of treatment for the cure o.
Catarrh embraces the thorough topical
medication of the affected regions by q
most Ingenious and painless process, by
which every part of the diseased mucous
membrane can be effectively subjected to
the most perfect and complete remedial
control.
Not only are We enabled to bring any
desired medical solution to act directly
upon the very seat of the disease, our
process also allows the remedy employed,
to be kept in contact with the affected
surface sufficiently long to exercise its full
curative powers.
The striking advantage of our plan of
medication exhibit themselves in the
prompt and immediate benefit which fol-
lows treatment. Frequently, after the very
first application the fetor of the purulent
secretion is removed, the breath is mate
rally purified, and sensible relief from
other neutrality-suspicious. is experienced
By degrees the discharge diminishes, ir-
ritation is allayed, chronic inflammation ia
subdued, alterations are made to heal, I'M
til finally we succeed in re-establishing a
perfectly healthy surface and a normal
OF the parts affected.

sensible suggestions

The Paris Intelligeneer of Saturday LAS
throws out The following sensible hints:
Farmers in this and the adjoining coun'
ties should vary their crops more than they
have usually done. The cereal and veg.
etable crops and the raising of beefcattlt
and hogs are far better crops than cotton
Ifpeople will persist in raising cotton they
should engage in it where the soil and eli.
mate and labor are all adapted to its
growth and maturity.
Tobacco is a more profitable crop in this
latitude than cotton and we are glad to
see our farmers building new barns and
preparing to enter upon its culture more
in earnest and more extensively than al
any time since the beginning of the war.
