Grand Temperance Rally.

Three cheers for the friends of Temperance
south of the river There was, on yesterday,
one of the largest and most enthusiastic gather
ings ever witnessed in this country. Fully five
hundred people were in attendance. 1t en-
braced young and old and male and female
Some three or four Divisions were represented
Indeed it was a glorious occasion, one which
the writer will not soon forget. VIC
At an early hour a procession was formed and
after marching and counter marching awhile
the immense throng filed into the large church
in the neghborhood. and was soon packed by
the crowd. Devotional exercises were perform
ed by the Rev. Mr.. Emery, after which the
same gentleman was introduced by Captain
Hawn, master of eerimonies, who is warm and
intelligent advocate OF Temperance. Mr.. En-
esy made some pertinent remarks and took his
seat.
G. w. Charlton was then introduced and
spoke for one hour. He took high ground on
the subject dealt some heavy blows at church
members and many of the clergy for their want
Of cooperation in the temperance reform. He
was listened to with marked attention through
out his remarks. The exercises then closed,
when the crowd repaiIed TO long table which
was covered with every luxury. twas splen-
did dinner. There was enough for all, and a
good deal TO spare. God bless the people south

warning Words.

The strength and nervous energy of the human
body ought be increased during the winter for two
reasons In the first place. diseases of the most dead
y character may be generated at this season. and
ondly it is of the utmost Importance that during the
cold weather months the system should be put in u
condition to withstand the effects Of the Spring MAS
ma, and the subsequent depressing heat of Summer.
II is therefore advisable in fact essential to tone, reg
uate and invgorate the digestive and secretve
at this period Of the year, and of all the stOmachics
and alternatives at present known Hostetter's stom-
ach Btters is the most powerful the most harmless
and the most agreeable. The temperature of winter
would be in itself glorious tonic if it did not, unfor-
tunately bring with it volume Of chilling moisture
and unwhoesome Winds which have a bad effect on
the skin and lungs. These must be guarded against,
or there is no security for health. The effect of a
course of the Bters is TO give vigor and tone TO the
entire superficial muscles and nerves.

The BeneTiis Of Advertising.

Judicious advertising will always pay. Peo-
pie look to the papers now TO see where they
will find it TO their interest TO buy.
A few days ago, Charles Seymour, Esq,
Real Estate Agent, wished a situation for
some Scotch gardeners. He came TO the CHRoN-
ICLE office late one night and inserted a short
advertisement. The next morning early, on
going to his Office he found four persons await
ing him in response to his advertisement. A
few moments later messenger brought q tele-
gram from CIereld0d on the same business. A
few dimes spent in advertising in the CHRONICLE
saved him time and delay.
A young gentleman came to the city recently
with little capital and desired to find some
profitable business. He inserted an advertise
ment in the CHRONICLE and in few days had
letters in reply from several points between
Bristol and Chattanooga, to say nothing of in
terviews and propositions from Knoxville.
Mr.. Geo. Ross lost new umbrella Saturday
lie invested a small sum in short advertise
ment in the CHRONICLE and early Sunday
morning his umbrella was brough TO his door.
So we might go on and enumerate case after
case. The truth is tho most liberal advertisers
we have now are men who first began with
doubts and little faith The CHRONICLE is de-
livered by breakfast time all along the rail road
from Bristol to Chattanooga goes to hundreds
of homes in Knoxville and IS read. Judicious
advertising in its columns is certain to repay all
who fry If

warning TO subscribers.

We have been sending the CHRoNIcLE to some
subscribers whose subscriptions have expired
With this number every such name will be re-
rased from our books, and hereafter persons
who want our paper must rete,o promptly at
The expiration Of their time. Unless special ar
rangements are made we will dl,cays discontinue
ihe CHRONICLE at the expiration of the term Of
subscription. Our mailing clerk has positive
instructions on this point. and as he does not
personally know our subscribers, all aciU be
treated allie. Subscribers sometimes feel hurt
TO have their paper stopped thinking that the
Publishers ought to have known that they would
pay, but such persons must remember that the
publishers can not possibly watch several thou
sand names to see whose time is out and whose
is not, or who is good and who is not. For our
own protection, therefore, we must have one
general rule and serve all alike.
1t is easier for our friends to make arrange
ments to continue their paper than to expect
us to watch the books in each subscribers in
.terest. With this notice We hope all will be
warned and act accordingly.

The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad Company are constructing for use on
their road three new and very much improved
mail cars A CHRONICLE reporter yesterday
visited the Company's paint-shop where one Of
the cars is receiving the finishing touches and
made n thorough examination Of its construc-
ton.
The cars will be devoted exclusively TO the
accommodation of the mail service. They are
large, roomy and we'll ventilated. Each is de-
vided into two apartments, one occupied as n
distributing Office and the other carrying the
through mail
The distribution Office is gotten up in the
most approved style. The "pigeon holes" for
letters, and the receiving boxes are bottomed
with a lattice work of wire, which prevents the
accumulation of dust. \ rack with hooks for
holding open mail bags is also provided. y
wardrobe and other conveniences for the per-
sonal benefit of the agents are not wanting.
The color of the cars outside is deep orange
and the words ~. S. Railway Postotiice are
painted in gold with blue and green shading
on each side.
The cars will be designated as "a ~ "B 80 and
80" respectively, and will take the place OF
those now in use on the road. They are built
ut the expense of the company according to a
design furnished by the Postoflice Department
of the General Government The first will be
ready for service in about three weeks Three
new baggage.cars are also to be built.

Suicide of a Young Man Near Inorganic

place two weeks ago, although the facts in all

1t seems that his mother, with whom he lived,
had accused him Of frequenting a house of ill

friends, both male and female. The morning
he committed the fatal deed, he and his mother
had sharp quarrel his mother repeating

them where they would be readily found and
left the house crying aud was not heard of any
more until found hanging to q small tree near
where he had been making boards. The most
remarkable thing connected with it was that his
feet were resting on the stump upon which he
stood when he placed the cord around his neck.

An EIopeueut.

VIM. Moore, Il well-to-do citizen of the 9Th
district in this countya few days ago lett for
parts unknown with the wife of one of his
neighbors. Both parties left their companions
and large family of children behind.
Moore has been for a number of years sus-
pected Of being an unprincipled man. His first
wife was a woman Of excellent character and
considerable property. After they had lived
together several years another woman gained
Moore's affections and his wife died rather
mysteriously leaving several children. She
was suspected of having been dosed with poi
son however, it was never proven. Moore was
soon married to the other and lived with her
until within few days.
OF late he has been very intimate with q
neighbours wife spoken of above, but whose
name, for the sake of the unfortunate husband,
We suppress.
A few days ago she complained of being sick
and her husband brought her to this city for
medical advice and not thinking her able to
return home, left her at the house of q relative
a short distance from town.
That night she left and has not since been
heard from, Moore left at the same time and
il is supposed they took the cars at this point.
Before leaving Moore sold large part of his
land, and carried away considerable amount
of cash which he had on hand. He was man
of considerable property. The occurrence
creates much excitement in the neigbor-
hood where it occurred. As would naturally be
supposed, each family is in very disconsolate

John Wise and negro lad were having an
alteration about little matter, when VIM.
Finney, a wild, half-witted young man, came
up and cried out in his usual half-idiotic way,

giving up the quarrel, and Wise, somewhat eX-
asperated at Finney's interference, turned npon
him and wanted to know if he was going to
take up for a niger"
No sooner were the words out Of his mouth
than Wise hurled at Finney stone that struck
him on the head near the temple, cutting his
head open and almost instantly killing him.

James Murray, Of Cooke county, residing
about mile from Clifton, has for some time
had in his employ n bright cQlored boy. who is
known in the neighborhood by a halt dozen

Some days ago Mr.. Murray paid the boy his
wages and discharged him. Wishing TO leave
something more than his, services as q remin4er
of himself To Murray, he took with him on
leaving pair of new boots that Murray had
worn but once
Finding his boots gone next morning Murray
suspected his discharged boy and started in pur-

started back with him for home. Not making
as rapid progress as he desired with his prisoner,
he left him for safe keeping with two drovers
en- route for Clifton and pressed on alone FOE
home, reaching there the same night, -.H D.
Tho two drOvcrs, with their prisoner, stopped
for the night with Amercus Jones some dis
lance east Of Newport. They were assigned to
room with two doors aud awindow, contain
ing two beds. Having travelled all day
and not feeling much in Il humor for stand
ing guard all night they determined to fastcn
themselves up, Ht the same time remarking that
the little cuss would be glad enough to sleep
and keep quiet. They locked both the DOORS

their bodios showed their bed up beside the
only window and feeling perfectly secure gave
themselves over to Morpheus. The little

survey of the room TO escape.
After fixing his plans, he took from each Of
the guards their pocket books, crawled over
their bed, raised the window and jumped into
an adjoining room. He then captured the
pocket book of Mr.. Jones, his host, and with
the three started off for Dixie Mr.. Jones
had in his purse seven dollars in money and be-

The other purses were moderately well filed.
The little rascal struck through the mountains

started in pursuit and captured him at last in

in the Cooke county Jail. Before his capture,
he had disposed of his notes and refuses to tell
ANYTHING about them
