Sinking Slowly.

Diseases that progress rapidly to crisis
are not the only ones to be dreaded. Cank-
er or dry rot does not blast tree as sudden
ly as a stroke of lightning, but unless arrest
ed, it destroys it as certainly; and in like
manner chronic debility, although 1t does
not kill with the swiftness of yellow fever,
is as sure to sap the springs of life eventual
ly as any acute disease, if not checked by
invisorating medication. There is some
thing inexpressibly touching in the spectacle
of premature decay. Languor, pallor,
emaciation, depression Of spirits, and a
distaste for exertion, are its ordinar symp-
toms, and they should be promptly met by
tonic treatment The best invigorant and
exhilarant that can be administered in a
case of this kind is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. The stimulating principle of the
preparation rouses the dormant energies of
the system, and the strengthening and
regulating properties give permanent and
healthful impulse to the vital forces thus
brought into play. The failing appetite is
re-awakened, the process of digestion and
assimilation are quckened, the quality OF
he blood is improved, the secretions become
more natural, and every organ that con
tributes to the nourishment of the body
undergoes salutary change By these
means the repair of the physical structure
is effected and its health and vigor restored
In no class of diseases has the benifcent
operation Of the Bitters been mora marked
and striking than in those characterized by
general debility and nervous prostratiOn
Ladies affected with these ailments find in
in this most wholesome of all tonics and
correctves the safest and surest means oil
relief 1t is strong to restore and powerless
to injure Such is the uniform testimony
of clouds of witnesses" 4

ACCIDENT FROM Coal On.-Roberta Is.
bell, a young negress living in the eastern
portion of the town, was burned in a most
horrible manner on last Tuesday evening by
the explosion of coal oil She was kindIing
fire, and to make it burn more quickly,
took a can of coal oil and poured some on
the Goals, when it blazed up igniting the oil
in the can, which exploded and set fire to
her clothing. Before help could reach her
she was so badly burned that death en-
sued in few hours. How long before
people can be made to learn that can of
coal eli is as combustibie and dangerous as
bombshel?
FALLS GRACEFULLY Our old friend Judge
Harris is prepared to make his run Up salt
River very gracefully. He has fitted up
al office over Bowers store and expects to
resume the practice Of law at an early day.
This old veteran will doubtless get a full
share of business, and will wake some of
the lazy ones up on the Chancery practice
when he again appears at the bar with his
books under his arm and no small amount
Of law in his head.
The name of E. H. Shelton, Esq, of our
town, is suggested by prominent citizens Of
Hardeman, Upton and Fayette, as the Con
servativo candidate to represent this Dis
trct in the next Congress, and his nomina-
ton will be urged before the Congressional
Convention to meet in September.

The New York Bulletin says; "a great
financial crisis exists in Berlin, no discount
under eight per cent. being allowed. The
Prussian government is seeking vainIy up
to the present time to raise loans to enable
it to carry on the war. In London the de-
mand for a loan of FIVE hundred millions of
thalers has not met with success in spite
of the benevolent assistance of the Times
It is evident that Prussia is not ready for
the war. The difficulties about the Land
wehr are by no means smoothed away, and
large numbers of her men are deserving
across the French frontiers

The New York Commercial Advertiser
(Republican) says: ave are glad General
Lee has not rendered his services to either
of the European beIIigerents. He can safe
Iy rest his military reputation where 1t now
is. The Prussian Field Marshal Won
Moltke, in the presence of several Ameri-
can gentlemen, once paid the great Confed-
crate chieftian a compliment which, from
such lips, was indeed worth having con-
slider General Lee, said the old veteran, as
a soldier not inferior to Wellington His
auditors were all Northern men, but they
relished the remark none the less as a de-
served tribute to an American soldier

For the negislature.

The undersigned respectfully informs the
people of Hardeman that he is a candidate
to represent them in the Lower Branch of
the State Legislature, subject, of course, to
the action of a county convention, should
one be held, and q full and fair voice of the
people prevail If elected, l shall do my
utmost to serve you faithfully and honestly
in all things. Of my political faith it is use
less to speak This paper, for the last FIVE
years, and my own action in the past, fur
nish ample proof as to what it is, and yet 1t
is nothing more than proper to say that
fellowship with the Democratic party, am
anti-radical, tooth and toe nail, an advocate
of State Rights, Equal Taxation, and utterly
opposed to the party and men who have,
since the war, driven the State almost to
bankruptcy and bled as far as possible,

A New COTToN PREss.-Among the late
patents granted inventors by the Depart
ment at Washington is one to our fellows
citizen, G. w. Swinebroad, for decided
improvement in cotton and hay presses-an
Improvement that only has to be seen to be
appreciated for its entire simplicity, adapt
ability and strength for it certainly does
combine in an eminent and unmistakable
degree the three essential features necessa-
ry in perfect machinery. Mr.. Swinebroads
press in appearance resembles, to some de-
gree, the Utley press, but is far superior to
it in every respect. His gripping blocks,
which work on upright iron bars, are unlike
all others heretofore used, and are cast solid
having no wedges, bolts or other gearing
about them, save square hole through the
center of each. To these gripping blocks
the common straight lever Is directly and
easily applied, working on an inch or half
inch leverage with a power more than ate
quate for pressing purposes. The follow
block is adjusted by means of rope and
MINDLESS with perfect ease So simple is
the entire press that any set of field hands
can work it successfully. Having examined
the press carefully and seen it tested in the
most thorough manner, we commend Mr..
| Swinebr0ad's invention to the public, believ-
ing it to be superior to any yet brought to
| light and take this method of congratulate
ing our Bolivar inventor upon his good for
tune, and hope that the people of the South
will literally support truly meritOrious
southern invention. One of the improved
presses, in full working trim, has been
placed in the court house yard, where it can
/ be seen at all times.
