This case which has been in court at
Athens for a number of years, was deci-
ded by jury on Friday last, after an able
charge from Judge Hickcrson, of Me-
Minnyille, the special Judge for trying

The decision gives threc-fourths of the
island to the Hopkins heirs. The other
one.fourth goes to the heirs Of ThOs. II.
Galloway,
The rents of the three-fourths for the
twenty-five years will go with the recov-
cry in favor of the Hopkins heirs, making
the total amount of their final recovery
about sixty thousand dollars.
The counsel on the part Of the Calla-
way heirs, Hon. John2C. Gaut, of Nash.
uille, and Hon. Jesee Gaut, Of Cleveland
have appealed to the Supreme Court,
where they will make their final grand
struggle for the brilliantly prize.

Editorial Notices,

Are so common that it is almost impos-
sible for an editor to express his honest
opinion of the merits of any article with
out being suspected of interested mo-
tives. This fact, however, shall not deter
us from saying what we think Of a new
addition to the Materia MedicH to
which u attention has been recently di-
rected. We refer to DR.. j. Walkers
California Vinegar Bitters, a remedy
which is making its way into more fami.
lies lust now than all the other advertised
medicines put together. There seems to
be no question about the potency of its
tonic and Alternative properties, while Of
possesses the great negative recommends
ton of containing neither alcohol nor
mineral poison. That it is q specific for
Indigestion, BilliOusness, Constipation
and many complaints of nervous origin
we have reason to know and we are as-
sured on good authority that as a general
invigorant, regulating and purifying med
icine, it has no equal. 1t is stated that
its Ingredients, obtained from the wilds
of California; are new to the medical
world; and its extraordinary effects GER
taiuly warrant the conclusion that it is a
compound of agents hitherto unknown.
If popularity is any criterion, there can
be no doubt of the efficiency of the Vine
gar Bitters, for the sale Of the. article is
immense and continually increasing. 4w

DEAD OR DYING.--Where the hair is
unuaturally dry, you may be sure that it
is dying; and unless artifCially vitalized'
it will soon be as dead us leaves in No.
vember. Feed the whitening 6bers and
stimulate the torpid scalp with Lyons
Kathairon, and the evil, which must 9TH
ervise soon eliminate in badness, will be
speedily remedied. 1t is absolutely ne
cessary for the health of the brain, that it
be kept moderately moist with u prepare
ton capable of nourishing and invigora'
ting it. Lyons Kathairon fulflls these
conditions, and is the only article that &C
tually puts nsw life into the capillary
tubes, through which the natural nouriSh-
ment has ceased to pass. This pure and
harmless vegetable preparation is absorb.
ed by the skin of the head to the roots of
the hair, and passes into the flaments BY
the force of capillary attraction.
DIED SUDDENLY OF HEART DISEASE.
How common is the announcement.
Thousands are suddenly swept into eter-
nity by this fatal malad. This disease
generally has its origin in impure blood
filed with irritating, poisonous materials,
which, circulating through the heart, ir-
ritate its delicate tissues. Though the ir.
r~itation may at first be only slight, pro-
duciug a little palpitation or irregular &C.
ton, yet by and by the disease becomes
firmly seated, and Inflammation or hyper>
trophy, or thickening of the lining mem.
brance or of the valves, is produced. How
wise to give early attention to a case of
this kind. Unnatural throbbing or pain
in the region of the heart should admonish
one that all is not right, and if you would
preserve it from further disease, you must
help it to beat rightly by the use of such
a remedy AS shall remove the cause Of the
trouble. Use DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery before the disease has be-
come too seated, and it will, by Its great
blood purifying and wonderful regulating
properties, effect II perfect cure. 1t con
tains medical properties, which act speci-
fcally upon the tissues of the heart, bring.
ing about abeaithy action. Sold by all
first class druggists. "a Fg .,.
