Wflfed Down.

Ask the man who complains Of "wilting down"
in torTid weather what he has done to sustain his
system under the extra strain imposed en- his vi
tality. BE may tell you that he las tried vari-
ETY. OF csthartics to purify his blood and brighten
bis spirits Under such treatment, Of course, his
strength has given way, and his energies have be-
come exhausted. What he requires is q restora-
tive, not depletant. His blood is thin his
nerves have lost their natural tension and nature
demands to be renovated and reinforced. The
means is within the re1eh Of all. For nearly 8
score Of years, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has
heen building up broken con situations, bracing
and strengthening attenusted frames, and afford
ing comfort, ease and hope to thousands. AS q
preventive Of the epidemics which make such
havoc with the health Of the Inhabitants OF new
settlements, this famous tonic is certainly with
out rival. Perhaps the principal portion of its
world wide fame is attributable to its astonishing
cures Of dyspepsia, and al forms of indigestion.
But these are not moie'y OF its triumphs. All
the types of biiousness yield to its persistent
use. 1t is regulating medicine Of the highest
o der; and It's effect upon the secresions, when
irregular, is most salutary.
Imposition Of the grosSest character Is sought
to BIS practiced upon the community by vendors,
who recommend under the name OF "Bitters -
fiery compounds OF dangerous character, which
they attempt to substitute for the great national
lave the genuine HOstetter's stomach Bitters,
properly authenticated by label, name and stamp,
aud sold in bottles only.

runs thirteen miles through the county
leaving the same at crossing of Mansker 8

IMPORTED LIQUORS.

Regulations Concerning the Same.
Tue Supervisor of Internal Revenue re-
Gently addressed letter of inquiry to The
Commission at Washir gton concerning the
brands on imported liquors. The letter
elected the following reply, which will be
read with very general interest:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF IN
TEBNAL REVENUE, WASHINGTON, Aug, %,
lS7I.-SIR: Your letter of the 22d inst =,
Just received, in which you ask whether
the-e aye any special brands required TO
be put upon casks of imported liquors, by
which you may tell the genuine imported
from imitation imported casks.
10 reply have to say that there are no
marks required by law, but that the casks
in which liquors are imported are uni
formly SO differently constructed from
those used In this country as to be readily
distinguished from casks Of domestic manu-
facture.
The internal revenue laws have no ap-
plication to imported liquors except so far
as the sale of the seme makes the party a
liquor dealer, and imported liquors are,
therefore, entitled to uninterrupted transit
through the country. Where, however,
you have reason to suspect that the con-
tents of the cask are not in fact imported,
it will be your duty to detain the same and
require the claimant to make proof of its
exempted character under the provisions
of section SO, act July 20, 1868.
Very respectfully,
]. GIVEN, Deputy Commissioner.

TERRIBLE STORM AT SHELBY
WILLIE.
People Driven from Houses by the
Rain.


Rain.
An unusual and terrific rain storm, ac-
companied by rain, lightning and thunder,
visited Shelbyville at four o'clock on Sun
day afternoon. Several lowering clouds
pregnant with the combined wrath and
fury of the elem ents seemed to have met
in clashing and conflicting storms. These
clouds were veined with lightning,
and thunder-riven." As the dark
masses came in contact they burst
asunder, and deluge poured upon the
earth. Portions of the beautiful town
was literally inundated Between the
churches aud the public square there is
hollow or drain, through which the waters
rushed in maddening storrsnts. Culverts
gave way, and crossings we're washed off
as though they had but the ightness of
straw. The water through this ravine ran
to the de pth of five or six feet, while the
water on the Murfreesboro Pike went up
into many of the houses. No houses
were washed off, though the rain reached
the lower floors of number. Uncle joe
Ramsy fully appreciated the surroundings,
and Squire Holland, who is eighty years
of age, says he never witnessed the like
before. The children who were at the
FIRST Presbyterian Church had to be con-
veyed across in hacks and buggies. The
colored folks down the branch were at
service and found themselves on the banks
of a roaring Jordan. Some of
them were after night getting out.
The damages to the Corporation are at
least 81, COO, while private damages far ex-
coed that sum. Wartrace creek, Belle
buckle and Stones river were very much
swollen, and Mill creek suddenly rose
from the heavy rain fall. All in all it was
one of the seveIest freshets ever witnessed
in Middle Tennessee.

j. N. Russey was appointed an assistant

The meetings on both days were large,
perhaps more so than any heretofore held
by the stockholders of this road, and the
hope seemed to be very generally enter
tanned that the proposed adjustment of
matters in controversy might prove FEAST
bic and might succeed. At the conc.u-

very general spirit of compromise spring
ing up among all parties, which will
doubtless result in good to all concerned.

FOR THIRTY-ONE YEARS
PERRY DAVIS PAIN KILLER

HAS BEEN TESTED IL EVERY VARIETY
II of cimsts, and by almost every nation known
to Americans. 1t Is the almost constant COM
psnion and tnesttmsble friend Of the missionary
and the traveller, on sea and land, and no one
should travel on our lakes or rivers without it.
Pain Killer was the first and is the only
permanent pain reiever. Since the Pain Killer
was first introduced, and met with such unsUr
passed sale, many Liniments, Psnsceas and other
remedies have been offered to the public, but not
one OF them has ever attained the truly enviab,e
standard Of the Pain Killer. Why is this SC? II
claims to be-a reliever Of pain. Its merits are
unsurpassed.
If you suffering from internal pain, twenty
or thirty drops In q little water will most in
ssntly cure you. There is nothing to equal it. IN
few moments 1t cures Cole, Cramps, Spasms
Heartburn, Diarrhes, Dysentery, Flux, Wind in
the Bowels, Sour Stomach, Dyspepsia, sick Head
ache. In sections Of the country where FEVER
AND AGUE prevail, there Is no remedy held in
greater esteem. Every housekeeper should keep
1t st hand to apply 1t st the first attack Of any
pain. It will give satisfactory relief and cave
hours OF suffering.
Do not tEihe with yourselves by testing untried
emedies. Be sure you call for and get the genu-
inc PAIN KLLLsR, as many worthless nostrums
are attempted to be sold on the great reputation
OF this valuable medicine.
- Directions accompany each bottle.
