Expenses Of whisky.

At the meeting of the City Council,
Friday night. Alderman j. c. Shepard
stated that in the town of Ninelaud, In
the State Of New Jersey, with a popula-
ton of eleven thousand, there was only
one indictment found for the year 1870,
ard that for a trivial offence. and that for
six months there was not a single case
which required any attention from the
Overseers of the Poor. The reason given
for the small number of crimes committed,
and the slight expense incurred, was the
fact that the laws prohibited the sale of
LIQUOR in the town. Mr.. Shepard drew a
striking contrast between the town above
mentioned and the city of Knoxville,
where the number of inhabitants is about
the same. He said that he could show
from the records of the courts held III this
| city. that the sum of 100000, was e1'
pended every year for whisky aud the ex-
penses incurred from its effects.-Pres'

Rev J. Mann.

= Last Sabbath this devoted minister and
famed pulpit orator preached his final
sermon Of the Conference year to his con-
gregaticn at this place. 1t may be, aud
with sad compulsion We announce that it
is likely he will be transferred to some
one of the other stations demanding his
ministrations. During the past year, he
has preached the Gospel to this people in
its sublime purity and simplicity, and
with the fervid eloquence of a most de-
vout piety. The influences of mis- minis
try have reached beyond the limits of the
membership, and attracted many of the
world to a constant audience of his deep
ly pious and eloquent discourses. Gifted
with a rare intellect, which is richly
adorned and strengthened by the graces
and virtues of laborious culture and guid-
ed by the une rring Inspirations of holy
religion, transformations, artless-mannered
as a child, and euIl OF social life, he is lit
ted to accomplish glorious victories for the
Redeenrer's cause. If the voice of this
community is headed by the appointing
power, he will be returned without hesi-
tation to this charge. But if he is sent
elsewhere, his devoted congregation and
ardent friends will part with his presence
with a keenly regretful sense akin to be-
reavement. To whatever work he is as
signed. this community will follow him
with happy memories and rich bencdie-
tions.

THE PULPIT.

I On last Sabbath evening Rev. w: b..
Rankin of Greeneville, Tenn, took oc-
casion-in his sermon duriag the services
at the Presbyterian Church to allude to
the subject of education in a very practical
way. Such scrmon ought to be repeated
more frequently from every pulpit in the
State. The cause of education is i'm
periled on every hand The church suff-
ers when the school house is neglected.
Education and religion 60 hand in hand.
The Pulpit and the Press both need to
speak out on this subject. The people
must be aroused to a sense of the danger
that awaits the country when the children
are allowed to grow up in ignorance. No
enemy is able to make such inroads upon
the liberties Of the people rs ignorance
How careless We are about this matter
Educate the children from the Pulpit,
through the Press and in the School
house.

PUBLIC

In the county there are several excell-
ent schools in operation, but the public
school interest is at a low ebb. Most of
the school houses are vacant. How long
this state of things will continue, depends
upon the efforts of the friends of public
schools.
The County Court has entirely lost
sight o: the school interest. Uendcr the
present school law. this body constitutes
the only motive power there is in the law.
Those guardians of justice do not seem
to entertain IN idea of the necessity of
public schools. This body has invariably
doqgod every issue, in which the school
interest was involved, that has been brot.
before it.
The County Board can do nothing as
long as the County Court remains mac
tive in the matter.
If there was any prospect of a better
school Law, it might do to wait, but, IN
der the circumstances, the only hope we
have, is to make the present school law as
efficient as possible. In order to do this.
the County Court must not remain mac
tive or inoperatiye.

Horse Stealing.

The horse stealing mania that ragged SO
widely just after the close Of tie war, but
was almost entirely suppressed by the
swift and rigorous punishment of the law,
seems to be breaking out afresh with It's
old audaeity and reeklcssness. Last
Saturday night, a valuable animal belong
ing to j. T. Grisham, Esq, was taken
from his stable. in this place, and a sad
die was stolen from DIR. ID. j. Gibson
with which to convey away the horse
The thief, a colored boy named Henry
Edmonson, of Virginia birth and educa-
ton. and formerly employed by Mr.. IT,,
went in the direction CT his native State.
lie was first suspicioned in the ~neighbor-
hood, dear Union Depot, by a Mr.. Snapp,
who finally allowed him to proceed. lie
again concluded that the boy had stolen
the property and gave chase, overtakine
snd arresting him near Paperville. at l.
o'clock Sunday. lie was taken to
Blountyille and lodged in Jail. He wa
brought to this place on Tuesday morning
and made a full confession before Squir

How Il be Handsome.

Most people like to be handsome. No
body denies the greater power which any
person may have who has a good face, and
who attracts you by good looks, even be-
fore q word has been spoken. And we
see all sorts Of devices in men and women
to improve their good looks-paints and
washes, and all kinds of cosmetics, includ-
ing a plentiful amounting with dirty hair
oil.
Now, not every one can have good fea-
lures. They are as God made them;
but almost any one can ook well, especi-
ally with good health. 1t is hard to give
rules in a very short space, but in brief
these will do.
Keep clean-wash freely and univer-
sally with cool water. All the skin wants
is leave to act freely, and it viii take care
of itself. Its thousands of air-holes must
not be plugged up.
Eat regularly and simple. The stom-
ach can no more work all the time. night
and day. than a horse: it must have regu-
lar work and regular rest.
Good teeth are a help to good looks
Brush them with a soft brush, especially
at night. Go to bed with the teeth clean.
OF course, to have white teeth it is need
full to let tobacco alone. Every woman
knows that. And any powder or wash for
the teeth should be very simple. Acids
may whiten the teeth. but they take oil
the enamel or injure it.
Sleep in a cool room, in pure air. Nc
one can have a clear skin who breathes
bad air. But, more than all, in order t.
look we'll. wake up the mind and SOUL
When the mind is awake. the dull. sleepy
look passes away from the eyes. do no
know that the brain expands, but it seem
to. Think, read-not trashy novels, blu
books that AVE something in them
Talk with people who know something
hear lectures and learn by them.
This is one good of preaching. Z
man thinks, and works, and tells us tn
result. And if we listen, and hear, an
understand, the mind and soul are wake'
up.
If the spiritual nature is aroused,
much the better.
We have seen a plain face really glor
fed by the love of God and man whIe
, shone through it.
Let us grow bandsome.-Setected.

WINTER SCHOOLS.

We ara often asked how the schools in
tie several districts can be maintaincd.-
As there is but little public money to be
distributed among the districts, the peo-
pie must raise the necessary funds among
themselves.
We must have schools, at least during
the winter. Every district will draw
some money from the school fund. 1t
will be a small amount, it is true, but that
little may he utilized in the following
way: Let the School Commissioners
employ the teacher at a certain salary per
month. The law requires the school to
be fought five months. A school OF a
less number of months cannot draw the
free money"
When it has been asccrtained how
much money is coming to the districts, 1T
can be easily found out how much more
may be necessary to cary on the school
for the required five months.
The people in the district can raise
this money by subscription or otherwise.
If all will help in the matter, the expense
of carrying on the school will be very
light. 1t will not cost more than seventy
FIVE cents a month per scholar in most Of
Cur school districts. Every one, on this
plan, can do something to assist the schoo.
and all will be equally benefited by the
public money or, in other words, 1t vii
be equivalent to each ncighborhood Oh
district laying a tax for the support OF 1T
own school. A little work on the part o
the friends of education can make TIN
plan work very well under the circum
stances. 1t is the only plan that will Sc
cure a free school. After all, it depend
upon the efforts of the friends of educa
ton whether we nave schools or not. w
cannot hope to have help from the State
so we may prepare to help ourselves.

Every year increases the POPULAR
tv of this Valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that 1t Is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, %lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics. prevents the hair from falling
ont. as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
Glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAZE DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MID,
State Assayer of NJ Massachusetts,, says,
.The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREpA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
