SPECIAL NOTICES.
VERIFY 1T HAS NO EQUAL.
CONSUMPTIVES, READ.

WTOULD YOU CURE THAT DISTRESSING
w Cough and bring back that healthy vigor
till lately planted in your cheek? If YOU would
do not delay, for ere you are aware it viii be too
late.
Aliens Lung Balsam is your hope; it has been
tried by thousands such as you, who have been
cured; many in their gratitude have lent their
names to us that suffering humanity can read
their evidence and believe. Don't experiment
with new and untried mixtures, you cannot af-
ford 1t, but try at once this invaluable article 1t
can be found in any Drug Store and at most gen
eral stores. 1t is warranted to break up the most
troublesome Cough in few hours if not of too
long standing. 1t is warranted to give entire sa-
tisfaction in all cases Of Lung and Throat diff
culties.
what the Doctors Saw:
AMOS WoOLLEY, NJ. D., of Kosciusko county,
Indiana, says: ''For three years past have used
ALIENS LUNG BALsAM extensively in my prac-
tice, and am satisfied there is no better medicine
for lung diseases in use"
ISAAC A. DORIAN, NJ. D., of Logan county
Ohio, says: "ALLEN's LUNG BALsAM not only
sells rapidly, but gives perfect satisfaction in eve
ry case within my knowledge. Having confid-
ence in 1t, and knowing that it possesses valu-
able medicinal properties, freely use it in nv
daily practice, and with unbOunded success. As
an expectorant it is most certainly ahead Of any
preparation have ever yet known"
NATHANIEL HARRIS, NJ. D., of Middlebury
Vermont, says: al have no doubt it win soon be-
come a classical remedial agent for the cure of
all diseases of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes, and
the Lungs"
Physicians do nOtrecommend medicine which
has no merit; what they say about
ALIENS LUNG BALSAM
Can be taken as fact. Let all afflicted test it
at once.
81 1t is harmless to the most delicate child.
- 1t contains no opium in any form.
Call for "Allen's Lung Balsam," and shun fhe
use Of any other Balsam; unpriAcipled men may
deceive you with worthless preparations

law prohibiting stock from running at large
and some mighty good arguments are made
IN It's favor; but the arguments have all been
based upon figures and theories, and these
sort of arguments takes a long time to get
| into one of our ordinary skulls, and as you
want facts and experience, and have made
q call for US, the people, to send 'em to you,
here is one. My name Is Smell; have a
peighbor named Jones. Last year, in July,
bought the farm on which live. The
farm was poor, the fences bad and nearly
rotten. selected two fields of fifteen acres
each, ploughed them up and sowed them in
rye. Sent away round North for the very best
seed that could get, cost me $1.50 per
bushel. had sub soiled my land and by
the time cold weather set in had two of
the prettiest green fields you ever saw.
Winter came in cold and sharp, and every
thing in the woods that an animal could
eat "Went where the woodbine twineth."
My neighbor Jones had fifty little knotty
sheep, and one bull. My neighbor had
nothing but the woods and few shucks to
feed his cattle on. Consequently my neigh
boris little knotty sheep and my neighbor's
little wiry bull "Went for' my rye, and my
neighbours sheep and my neighbours bull i'm
p4ONCus DlL lly rye Nll uJs Injury tApOS-
tulated with my neighbor who mildly in
formed me, with smile ''that was childlike
and bland" that my fence
was not up to the mark,
but owing to the circumstance that his
sheep had improved some, he would tell me
where l could get man that would split
and put me up three thousand rails for two
dollars hundred.
Neighbor, said l, send me the man. The
man came and went to work. The weather
was cold. He couldn't get along fast, as he
just got my fence fixed. Cost me sixty
dollars for rails; sixty days board, at fifty
cents day, thirty dollars; two fields of rye
eat off to the ground, done Jor-seed cost
me forty dollars. Total for my neighbours
little knotty sheep and wiry bull, one hum
dred and thirty dollars, besides the injury
to my constitution by hard "cuSStng." The
sheep and the bull still belong to my neigh
Dor, and the bull don't mind my new
fence bit.
Now, sir, you wanted facts, and you have
got 'em, and 1 can prove every word that l
have written.
Another case: A negro man rented
place, the fences were bad, he was to fix
them, but did not have time, was busy with
his tobacco. The man that he rented from
turned his stock out into the woods as the
law gives him right to do-they went for
the nego's corn. He, the negro, had to
stop from his tobacco to make raj Is and fix
the fence; before he got the rails made the
cows had eaten up his corn and the worms
had eaten up his tobacco; and week ago
the man he rented from sued him for seven
ty-five dollars rent-sold what he could
get of his tobacco crop, corn he had none,
and all his crop only about half paid the
rent.
Sir, this is all true, and looks to me that
if the people of the country were not we'd
ded to their preiudices there might be
found some remedy for. this state of things.
Very truly yours, No FENCE.

a CURE FOE wARrs And CoRNs.

There are many persons annoyed by
warts on the hands, which are a source OF
great modification to the possessor, espe-
cially to young ladies; and simple remedy,
and one always at hand, and yet not pain
full, would be hailed by the sufferer as quite
boon in a small way. Corns, too, not
unfrequently give great pain, but are al
ways a source of unpleasantness. Well
here is the simple remedy we propose to Of
fer you for both warts and corns. 1t is
kerosene oil, or coal oil, as it is better known.
Pare away as much as you can of the wart
or corn, not to bleed, and with a cancels
hair pencil, or small mop, thoroughly satu-
rate the entire diseased bulk with the oil.
Keep up the process for several weeks if
necessary. By perseverance you will succeed
at last. 1t may fail in some cases, but we
have not known of a failure, where the
party persevered in the use of the remedy.

NOFENCE: sOMEFACTs.

We return thanks to "No Fence for his
article so suggestive and so truthful. Let
us have facts from every part of the State.
Let US get at a correct public opinion in
regard to fences. Our own impression is
that our legislators have never taken the
pains to inform themselves about such
neutrality-suspicious. that make foundation
stones of our prosperity. For and against
fences we invite communications and free
and full discussions. We want facts. We
want to know what the people want. Here
in two cases, a land owner and q
laborer both suffering because of the
odious, obnoxious and oppressive law that
,compels a man to spend, oftentimes, as
much as his land is worth, before he can
enjoy it. Give us light, farmers. Can we
afford to spend S28,OOO,OOO every ten years
for fences and be prosperous? 1t is aques-
ton that concerns US alone. No one else
will discuss it for us, and should not do so.
We thank cur friend for his fat
tering notice of us. We expect
10 discharge our duty in whatever
position we are placed, whether that duty
is popular or unpopular. Holding up a wet
finger to see which way the public breeze
is blowing, is not our style. If the adyo-
cacy of measure is right and timely and
for the good of society, we do it regardless
of consequences. The UNION AND AMER
ICAN prefers to be right to being popular,
aud in being right, it is most always pop
ular.
To the Editors of the Union and American:
BIG Rock, STEWART COUNTY, Tenn,
Feb. 2, 1S72.-I see an invitation in your
most valuable paper to all farmers to send
you their thoughts and experience in all
matters appertaining TO farming. ! have
been most careful reader Of your paper
for the last ten years, and do most Consci-
entiously belRve that you have done more
good and been of more benefit to the farm
ers and working people of the State than all
tue rest of the newspapers together.
Every line and every thought in your AgH-
cultural Department is gold and silver to
the farmers, and it is impossible for any
working man to take your paper
tTelvenOnth without being far
wiser, better and richer man, and if your
paper could be placed in the hands
of every working man in the State; the in
crease of wealth caused by its teachings
would in one year pay the State debt, large
as it is. You have a man at the head Of
your agricultural department that is "a
whole man." and no mistake, and what a
pity it is that there are so few like him. l
have thought what great thing it would
be if he could visit every farmers house in
the State, who don't take the papers, and
sis around the fire these long winter nights
and talk some sense, science and skill into
their old fogy heads. But as he can't do
that. be is doing the next thing to it-he is
giving his time, strength and brains TO the
farming people of the State and of the
whole country, and for one say long may
be wave.
see your paper strongly advocates a
