A Fair Con est Declined.
Don't Want Experienced Mcchan-
les to Examine their Machine.

KNOXVILLE, June 10. 1871.
Messrs, Hough &C. Church, KnorciNe
Tenn:
GENTLEMEN-We propose to have a
moving contest on the farm of Col. G.. NJ.
Branner, near this city, on Thursday, the
18th inst, where we will be glad to test
the respective merits of the 'Sprague"
and Excelsior" Mowers upon the follow
ing terms You select one judge and we
select one, and they two select a third,
and these three judges select three mas
ter mechanics, and these two committees
of farmers and mechanics to govern and
direct the trail in their own way. If this
meets your views, please signify your
approval,
Respectfully. McCoRkLE& Co.
The above challenge was sent to Messrs.
Hough d Church yesterday, and promptly
declined. The proposition is certainly a
fair one and their refusal to enter the con-
test shows that they do not want a fair
impartial trial where experts dad mcohin-
lists are to decide.

In the active pursuits of pleasure or
gain, the inestimable blessing Of health is
too often forgotten, until disease is firmly
seated, and the fact only realized by great
bodily and mental suffering. The Liver
is the vulnerable point in most persons,
and the d~isarrangement of that organ in
wolves almost the whole system ; hence the
reason why under Liver disease there is
enumerated such a number of affections,
and We claim the Simmons Liver Regula-
tor to be a remedy for them all.

The doctor took one Of the lady's small
white hands, on which the network Of
veins. most delicately traced. spread its
blue lines everywhere beneath the trans
parent skin. It was beautiful hand-a
study for the painter or sculptor It was
a soft flexible hand-soft, flexible and vel
vety to the touch as the hand Of q baby.
for it was as much a stranger to useful
work. The doctor laid his finger on the
wrist. Under the, pressure he felt the
pulse beat slowly and evenly. He took
out his watch and countedethe beats-sev-
enty in minute. There was no fever
nor any unusual disturbance of the sys'

toned her down into exceeding propriety.
