Letter from Scott County.

HUNTSVILLE, TENN, Oc., 5, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: We hope that a
line from Scott will not be out of place, es-
pecially in these times, of political excite
ment.
A large number of our citizens were en-
tertained on Thursday last by speeches
from the two Democratic aspirants for Con-
gress in the gathering ram district"
Their speeches were listened to with
marked attention, as it was the second
time that the Democracy had sent their
orators among us since 1861.
Mr.. Caldwell was rather bitter against
the present administration and Republic
can leaders generally.
Mr.. Carrot denounced packed conven-
tons, rings and cliques, with vim-said
he had some experience as Legislator,
was the peoples candidate, and the man to
represent our district.
AS neither of them was our candidate,
we, of course, could not be very enthusi-
astic, but were all invited to cross the
"bloody chasm." Most of us have been
over and as it took US four years to make
the voyage, we will remind Democracy
that the "chasm" is too wide to shake
hands over just now.
1t is sufficient, however, to say, that
neither of the candidates gained any addi-
tional strength by their labors, and it is
generally understood that Democracy
alone is rather weak in our county.
Since the speaking we learn that Col.
J. NJ. Thornburgh is our candidate. We
are pleased to know that he will champion
our cause. We will be wide awake to the
situation in Scott. Will the Colonel give
us a speech during the canvass? If so, we
will give him cheering crowd. We are
going to make things lively here, and will
give him rousing vote on the 9Th of No
vember. Yes, you may as well count Scott
solid. Yours, &C.,

EDITORS CHRONICLE DR.. Daniel Kenny
died this morning. He was near eighty years
of age, and a survivor Of the war of 1872. He
was the oldest member OF Rhea Lodge, No. A.,
A. +. NJ, and in tho yoar l848, was appointed
Deputy Grand Master of the State He will be
buried tomorrow with Masonic honors.
Judge Houk had no crowd TO speak TO here in
day time and st night he did not have as many
hearers as might have been expected, although
he made telling speech The lack of an au-
dience to listen st Judge Houk ia not to be at.
tributed to lukewarmness among the Republi-
cans they are fully alive and will all be on
hands on the 9Th of November Last week the
people wore oil out to hear Maynard and john
son, and next week they will be ut the Fair so
that this week being fine weather for work our
farmers had no time TO attend speaking. Next
Monday both political parties will nominate
candidates for the Legislature. Mr.. Jas. A.
West, Jno. b. Reeves and John Ii. Bowman
are the sspirants for the Republican nomina-
ton, while DR.. II. II. Carr and Hon. j. +. L.
Harris each seem to be anxious to lead the
Democracy to the defeat and slaughter which
await them in November Mr.. Harris held the
position in 1856 and was q member of the State
Senate in 1857 As q stump speaker he has but
few equals in the country and is very popular
with the masses. DR.. Carr was n member of the
last Legislature, and was celebrated for nothing
except the active part he took in trying to
make every Congressional district in the State
Democratic.
The Republicans have the power in this coun-
ty and are determined to give all their candi-
dates rousing majority in November.

Masks and Faces.

Ladies who mask their faces and necks with
enamels endanger their health to no purpose.
The plaster work deceives nobody. There is
but one article known which will restore a
blemished complexion or create external brill
liancy and bloom where they have never hereto
fore existed, and that article is HaRsn's Mag
nolia Balm. 1t performs this toilet miracle by
lnfusing vitality into the skin. The floral and
herbal juices Of which it is composed gently
stimulate the circulation in tho minute blood
vessels, and brace the network of nerves
through which they pass. Thus quickened and
strengthen the external covering soon acquires
a fresh and healthful hue, and every trace of
sallowness disappears. Tho palost OF cheeks
derive from the identifying baptism of this de-
lghtful cosmetic 0 warmer hue, and the arms,
hands and necks, blonde lustre which the
tiful forever with their poisonous cement, can
never hope to innate.
zS>$1 900 Reward will be paid by the pro-
prietor of DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discov-
cry for medicine that will equal it in curing
severe and lingering Coughs, Bronchitis and al
diseases of the lungs.

crop, Sowing has already commenced and the
prospect is that very large breadth will be
sown. The fine yield of the past season has en-

SOW more wheat than usual They should re-
