A FATAL AFFRAY.-A difficulty 90.
CURED near Gran iteville. 8. O., last Sun
day afternoon, between Messrs. John B.
Harriss and JEFF. Howard, which result:
ed in the killing Of the latter. It ap.
pears that Mr.. Harriss. whose plaoe ad-
Joins that Of Mr. Howard, missed some
cotton from pen in one of his fields
He reported that he had traced the cot
ton to Mr. Howard's gin-house, and as.
serted that that gentleman had stolen it..
This report reached the ears of Mr..
Howard. Sunday afternoon the two
men met, and Howard at once charged
Harriss with having sprend false report
about him. Harriss replied that ho had
made the statement, and added. "d-n
you, ana going to kill you." He then
got off his horse aud advanced towards
Howard, who, fearing that his life was
in danger. drew his pistol and fred at
Harriss, who fell. The ball struck Har-
riss in the head, and he died almost i'm
mediately. Howard left him lying in
the road, where he was found the next
day. and an inquest held. Tie report
TINT Mr. HaTTiss wrs murdered and then
robbed is incorrect.

fire, it was with great difficulty the pas-
seDgers were saved, most Of them escap-
ing with their night clothes only. Ono

wet day, looking down onc." And Hood
has also, in his bcs. punning mood, q
number OF verses, devoted to damp,

Gaping the climax with "Novcmber!"
If climatic influences actually have tho
effect upon both tho human body and
upon the mind that is claimed for them,
the London people are to be pitied rather
than ridicnled, and tho "one more un-
fortunate" whether man or woman, who
plunges into the black river from Water

idea OF November may not, therefore,
turn out true one, and any increase oc.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: In regard to your To-
cal relative to last Saturday occurrence in my
Exchange Restaurant, beg leave to say that
the heading, Row in Saloon" was not at all
appropriate, as there had been no row or quar-
relling whatever, as the testimony before Es-
quire White to-day has clearly shown.
l had not been at my establishment at the
time, having visited Hoxsie's Hail. but being
sent for, at once went and promptly inquired
into the particulars to ascertain whether any of
my employees were to blame in anyway, but l
am satisfied they were not. . -
Then would especially inform you, gentle
men, that Eifer's saloon is situated on Cumber-
land street. the shot was fred at my place which
! am conducting under the name and firm OF
Eiher's Exchange and not Rifers Saloon.
Whatever the motive might have been, if in
deed there was any, to put those ominous words
before the eyes of your subscribers, the local is
apt to injure me in my newly established house.
You, gentlemen, are aware that such reports
are not calculated to increase the patronage
which am proud to say has thus far been be-
slowed upon me by the citizens of Knoxville,
ladies and gentlemen, both. -.
Hoping that you will dc me and my establish
ment the justice to publish this, -
/ am yours respectfully,

Tee Great Hair Producer

Hair Oils, PomatumS and Pomades have had
their day. They belong to the musty past.
Nobody that understands the chemistry of the
hair and the philosophy of its growth thinks of
using them. Instead of clogging the pores of
the scalp with thick onguents, and thus OBJ
structing the insensible preparation which is es-
sential to the health of the fbers, we now tone
the surface of the head with an invigorating ap-
plication which penetrOtes to the roots of the
hair and stimulates them in the same way that
the fertilizing agents spead over the meadows
stimulate the grass roots and cause the blades to
spring up in myriads, coating the earth with
verdure The invigorant best adapted to this
purpose is LYoN's KATHAIRoN. 1t may we'll
be called the terterlizer of the head. To the
barren scalp it communicates vegetative power.
If the hair is dropping out or becoming dry and
wlthered, 1t arrests the process of dilapidation
or blight, The hair thickens and becomes
glossy and flexible under its genial operation,
and as ADDRESSING it is unapproached by any pre-
paration that has yet been laid on the toilet OF
