To the Ladies Of 1Nau,g and .Adjoin6,g
Counties:
WE ASK THE PRIVILEGE OF S0LIC-
wv iting your attention to our new quality
Of Clothes Line Wire, manufactured In such
manner, of white metallic substance, thai il is
prevented from ever eOrroding or changing
from It's beautiful white color during any num-
Der Of years. We guarantee il to be perpefual-
ly nfalhblc against rust, and after you have
used it we are confident that you win concur
with the statements Of thousands Of families
loud in its praise who have it in use.
The following are the advantages gained by
sing these Patent White Wire Ciot hes Lines:
LIST. They are truly an ornament wherever
placed, always retaining that shining whiicness,
are forever clean and never have TO be taken IN,
no matter what the weather may be, water OF
frost cannot effect them.
"a. The durability fthis Wire Line is enc Of
the greatest considerations, as il will last irom
thirty 10 fifty years, and during that time you
will wear out great many eOmmon lines, be
sides being Obliged TO put up with an immense
amount Of trouble with them.
Sd. Alter it is put up and wiped OF il is al
ways Clean, while rope line is more. or les
exposed to dust and dirt and must be washed
before II is used or il will soil the clothes.

far tie cheapest clothes line, besides.it lis great
convenience. This will last a lifetime.
9TH. You can never hang 1t too heavily with
clothes.
9th. Another Of the chief advantages Of fhi-
line over the rope line is that clothes Of any Lind
will not freeze to it in cold weather, and the
finest fabrics can be removed at any time with
out injury. A rope line will always absorb
more or less moisture from the clothes, and in
cold weather viii freeze through and through.

Beershcba Springs.

This charming and delightful summer
resort, bears of the palm and takes the
lead of all our Southern watering places
this season. 1t has the advantages over
all of them in being located on majestic
mountain, towering over two thousand
feet above the sea, easy of access and in
the most delightful, ife-giving, health
inspiring climate on the continent. The
hotel accommodations are, in all respects,
faultlcss, and kept in manner satisfac-
tory to everybody by the popular and
veteran landlord, Sam. NJ. Scott, assisted
by the renowned Gen. T. e.; Mem ackin.
The crowd at Beersheba is large and eve
rybody seems at home and to enjoy
themselves. as in the good old days OF the
past, when this was the favOrite summer
resort of the South. A more genial, pleas
ant and agreeble company never assem-
bled at watering place. 1t is easy ofac-
cess, being only few hours of pleasant
travel from McMinnville, and passen-
gers from Chattanooga and. Nashville,
leaving in the morning, reach the springs
the same evening for tea. ~"

through the works of God: TO live
in a world of flowers, and stars, and
sunsets, and a thousand glorious OBJ

passing interest awakened by any one
of them. It's precept of the Divine
Master, occurring on the mount, and
therefore obligatory upon all His
disciples, that We should consider
