So general has the public confidence become in
DR.. Ayers medicines, and so great the demand
for them, that unprincipled villains are attempt
ing to deceive the unwary by imposing upon
them their worthless nOstrums under similarity
of name. Cherry PectOrals. Lozengers, DR.. Ayers
Troches, Ayers Pastilcs for Coughs, Cherry Pee
toral Cough Drops, Ayers Fever n d,,Ague Cure,
DR.. Ayers Indian Pills, &C., &C., (u0ne ofwhich
are of DR.. Ayers manufacture or composition)
are specimens of this villainy and deceit. They
not only defraud the sick of their money but Of
their health, or the recovery oftheir health, which
is far more important than money. From actual
countcrteits the people are protected by law
which the Doctor promptly e%ntorces, but these
evasions sometimes elude the law, and purcha-
sers must protect themselves by refusing to be
deceived by them.

Hog Killing-Christmas.

Hog killing has commenced, and people
are talking of Christmas. But what a
stuuted aud shrunken thing Christmas is
nowadays. How de@ented are the
hired house servants. And how you must
make a fire for yourself if you get one.
Yet people ougt to strive to marke Christ
mas with merriment, u~eighborly kindness,
and good cheer. We are a hard-worked
and tax ridden people, and once a year at
least it will do US good to look on the
holiday side of life. No matter what our
rut may be, let us get out Of it now and
then. SO let US make the coming holidays
joyful and long to be remembered.

Stephens & Flynn, the %well-knowD,
Commission Merchants, of Atlanta, writ-S
aud err date OF Dec. lst., III regard to the
markets, etc., as follows:
On yesterday the weather got very cold,
and hogs went of more freely, but there
was no advance, on the contrary, a decline
has been submitted to, and best hogs now
bring only sic, while fair average sizes,
say 225 to 250-sells slowly at Sc. In
the face of Chicago prices for bulk meats,
say 4a54a6e, fer shoulders, clear ribs,
sides and clear sides, 80 day in salt. Por.
kers here, cannot afford to pay over &c for
best quality of hogs, aud with present
high frcightS from Tennessee here, SIC is
as much as your shippers can pay there.

THE SCHOOL FUND.
More Light on a Dark Subject.


The Tennessee House of Representa-
tives on Friday last, Mr.. Colquett, from
the Special Committee on School Funds,
reported that there we're in the hands of
the Trustee of the Bank of Tennessee, the
following amounts of school land notes and
the proceeds of land notes collected; I'm
collected So, Gil 50, collected: $j72 81.
These amounts, not being assets of the
Bank of Tennessee, the Trustee was pre-
pared to turn them over on demand to
the different counties entitled to the same.
Prior to the war. $i05 ,O85 10 were depos-
tied in the Bank of Tennessee to the cred
it of the school land districts, and is there
fore a debt which will have to be paid, pro
rata with the other debt, out of the assets
Of the bank. The bank is unable to pay
the interest or make good the principal of
this school fund. The committee would,
therefore, like to have an expression OF
opinion from the Legislature as TO whether
the State is bound to make good any def
cheney in this fund arising out of the liza
bility of the bank to meet it owing to the
casualties of war. There is also a State
school fund fixed by the code at 81 ,50O.-
600. The interest on this fund was paid
mp to, and including 1861, but not since.
In addition to this there was an academy
fund which the State bound itself to pay
up to 1866. which amounted to $4,000 "a
year. None of this had been paid since
1861 and there was, therefore, $4,000
due on this amount by the State.
A resolution directing the Trustee Of
the Bank of Tennessee to pay over the
school funds in his hands to the various
counties entitled to the same, accompanied
the report and was adopted under the sus-
pension of the rules.

A Just Appreciation of the Value of
the Country Press.

The following testimonial from ]. E.
DinsmOre, Esq, will be read with inter-
est, as based upon a varied experience in
advertising
"My opinion of the relative value Of
city aud country newspapers as advertising
mediums, is decidedly in favor of the
country papers; price and circulation be-
ing equal.
should prefer to have my advertise
ment inserted in a country paper having
$40 circulation rather than have it in
800 copies of a city daily paper. The
country readers have fewer papers aud
more leisure, and consequently read their
papers more thoroughly aud take better
care of them, while a daily paper after be-
ing glanced at is thought no more of than
last years almanac. My opinion is based
on twelve years, study and experience in
the business"

and Consumption.
Probably never before IN the whole history Of
medicine, has any thing won so widely aud so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through u long series of wears, and among most
of the races of men ii has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as ii haS become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
riOus affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most eileCtul remedy that can be given for incip-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. AS q provision against
sudden attacks Of Group, 1t should be kept on
hand III every family, and indeed us all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should 10
provided with this antidOte for them.
Although settled ~pfiOH IL thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry PeCt6IdI. SO complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most obstinate Of them yield to it.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
ChcTTy PecfOTdI they subside and disappear.
Singers and PHJiio Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved md often wholly
cured 10y ii.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PeCtOJ0i in small and frequent doses.
So generally arc its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do mora than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.
