4A.y ~ ~
For Diseases Of the Throat and Lungs
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine has anything won so widely ana so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as TINS excciieht
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
men has risen higher and higher in their estlma-
ton as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various anectiohs
of the lungs and throat, have made It known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted TO
mder forms of disease and to young children, II Is
at the same time the most cfectua remedy that can
be given for ncipient consumption, and the dan.
CerOus affections of the throat and lungs AS pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Group, 1t should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
CLerrv PectOrdl. SO complete Is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them Weld to 1t. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
foral they subside and disappear.
Singers aud Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it. .
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking tho
Cherry Pectorai in small and frequent doses.
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

We find in the Murtreesboro Monitor of
yesterday the following proposition from
one of our well known citizens:
Mr.. EDITOR: In order to raise addiG-
tional subscription to the stock of the
Rutherford County Agricultural Associa-
ton. hurt nobody and develop the best
mode of culture and variety of cotton best
suited to our climate, or most profitable to
the planter, l propose to be one OF twenty
to compete for premiums to be offered by
the Association on the following conditions:
Each party to lay off plat of five acres
of ground, to be planted with cotton seed
of their own selection. The party produc
ing the greatest number of pounds of seed
cotton on his five acres of land is to receive
premium of one hundred dollars stock in
the Association. Another premium of fifty
dollars in stock to be awarded to the party
producing the best quality of cotton upon
his five acres of land, the test OF quality to
be length of staple, first, and general hand
ling, clearness from mote, neatness IN bal
ing, ETC., to be secondary but Unnecessary con-
siderations All of the twenty competitors
who fail to take one or the other of the
above premiums are to contribute bale OF
cotton each, of the value of one hundred
dollars, or, in lieu of the cotton, to sub
scribe one hundred dollars in cash each to
the Agricultural Association, and become
stockholders to that amount The Presi-
dent, Secretary and Treasurer of the Asso-
citation are to prescribe rules as to evidence
of correct weights, measurement of ground,
ETC., and to appoint committee to make
the awards on the LIST day of November
next.
There are many enterprising farmers in
our county, some for and others against
any changes in the preparation of ground,
change of seed and mode of culture. Ex-
periments by twenty men, each determined
to win, will certainly demonstrate what can
be done cultivating cotton, not simply
keeping it out of grass. Work this up if
you can, and put me down as one.

Kings Nashville Directory.

The sixth issue of this invaluable Direc-
tory, for 1870, published by Messrs. King,
Marshall and Bruce, has just made its APP
pearance. We do not say too much when
we assert that it is one of the completest,
best gotten up, and most comprehensive
city directories we have ever seen. 1t
embraces a full alphabetical record of
names of the inhabitants of Nashville and
Edgefeld, a business directory of Nash
vile, GAINESVILLE, Lebanon and all the prin-
cipal towns and stations on the various
railroads centering at Nashville, Atlanta,
Marietta, Dalton and Rome, Ga, Hunts
vile, Ala; an abstract of the stamp duties;
complete list of the postofaces of the
United States and territories, and express
stations in Tennessee, Alabama and GeOr-
gia. The work is well bound and neatly
printed on good paper, and contains 1856
pages, besides the postoffice directory,
which makes 70 pages additional. The
work is furnished at the low price of SO.

The Statuarv Exhibition,

The exhibition Of statuary and paintings
closed last night. We say this in sadness
of heart and lamentations deep. We will
see it no more. The failing dew" has
vanished ana the paper gone to protest;
the open sea has dried up, and the ''brace
of wood cocks, transformed, have been
screwed into bunged edition of Cooper's
works; the 'water fall has ceased to roar
and murmur, and ''on the wing spreads
not a feather to the breeze. Like the
'great departed" the show has left us. 1t
was good thing and we hated to part.
But such is life. 1t was a success and was
well patronized. So delighted were the
proprietors with the appreciation shown by
the people of Nashville, that they will give
every dollar of of the net profits to chart
table purposes. The learned Professor
was so infatuated with the city that he has
determined to locate permanently with US.
He left last night for Alaska, where he pro-
poses getting some walrusses and earth
quakes, after which he will catch the great
sea-serpent and gather a few whales. and
then with a show worthy his genius, he
will return on the ist of April, 1871.

April Thoughts.


With linked hands the days trip lightly
into the dim archway of the past, some
casting sunshine and strewing flowers in
our path; some planting sharp thorns Of
regret to tear our toiling feet; others, days
of sad bereavement, throwing shadows
upon our hearts that will only be shone
away by the light of eternity.
And now, April has come again, meeting
with capricious GOODNESS the warm welcome
we would fain extend to the fair month
that bids the buds and flowers expand.
Has she forgotten how softly she smiled on
US last year, and how we wept together
over a buried treasure? Oh, We long to
wander away to the woodland, pillow our
brow on the emerald sward, and feel on our
bowed head the tender touch of her breezy
fingers while we weep for the vanished
light of eyes that have ceased to weep since
April last, and viii not weep again forever
more.
Spring-tim would be a sad mockery OF
Joy to many of us, did we not know that
our loved who coldly sleep meath the
blossoming ground, will, in the ''spring-
time of souls" come forth in renewed
beauty, and bloom again in perennial love-
illness

We are gratifed to learn of the election
of Maj. Akers to the lucrative and highly
important position of Circuit Court Clerk

years ago he was the opponent of one of
the most prominent and popular citizens
of Nashville, Gen. Thomas T. Smiley for
the City Attorneyship, and in the late con-
test was opposed by David G. Love, gen
tleman of high worth and a citizen of
prominence, but who had held the Office
for sixteen years past. Your Maury county

congratulations to you, Major.
