A Disease with a Thousand SymD-
toms.

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing Of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are al
most infinite in their variety, and the for
lorn and despondent victims of the dis
ease often fancy themselves the prey, in
turn, of every known malady. This is
due, in part, TO the close sympathy which
exists between the stomach and the brain,
and in part also to the fact that any dis
turbance of the digestive function neces-
sarily disorders the liver, the bowels and
the nervous system, and affects, to some
extent, the quality of the blood. A med
icine that, like Hostetter's Bitters, not
only tones the stomach, but at the same
time controls the liver, produces a regular
habit of body, braces the nerves, purifes
the fluids and ministers to a mind dis
eased," is therefore the true and only
specific for chronic Indigestion. Such is
the operation Of this famous vegetable re-
storative. 1t not only cures dyspepsia,
but also all concomitants and conse-
quences. Moreover, it is invaluable rs a
preventive of indigestion. No ono who
chooses to take half a wineglassful of this
agreeable appetizer and stomachic habit
ually three times day will ever be troub
led with oppression after eating, nausea,
sour eructations, or other indications of
a want of vigor in the digestive and as
simiating organs. The debility and Ian
guor superinduced by hot weather are
Immediately and permanently relieved
by the Bitters, and persons who are con-
stitutionally inclined to look upon life
"as through glass darkly," will be apt
to take brighter and more hopeful view
of the situation under the genial infiu
ence of this wholesome and medicinal
stimulant. 3-mar

MORE RAIN.-Much rain maketh the
miners heart glad, but the four hund-
redths of an inch which has fallen during
the past week don't seem to make them
very jubilant. Little things, we know,
should not be dcspised, but when the
wind blows and dark clouds hang over
head for three or four days and then it
only rains the twenty-fiith part of one
solitary inch, it is almost sufficient provo
cation to make a minister indulge in pro-
family.

Y NOT HAVE FAII
GROUNDS ?
WHY
FAIR

In the conduct Of the GAZETTE,
we trust We have an eye to the ma
terial growth and prosperity of this
county. We aim at nothing short of
this. Here we live, and our inter-
ests are identical with those of every
citizen in the county.
It is in view of this fact that we
now call the attention of our read
ers 10 the Importance of establishing
a fair for this county. We see how
we'll such institutions are working
in other counties. Washington and
Greene have been revolutionized by
them. The change is striking. The
farmers, in those counties, are com
pletely aroused. They are pro-
ducing better race of stock and
bringing their lands up TO higher
state Of cultivation. The reason for
all this is obvious. They became
stimulated by competition and by
having the opportunity of seeing.
perhaps, better stock, and better
productions than their own. They
retarn to their homes encouraged,
and they resolve to turn over new
leaf in their operations.
Now, it is well-known that Norris
town is centrally located and occu-
pies a most favorable position for
the bnilding of prosperous fair
grounds. There is Cooke. Jefferson,
Granger, Greene and Hawkins all
contiguous and all would contribute
their strength and influence to main
tain such an institution. Then the
railroad would bring visitors from all
along the line from Rockville to
Bristol. In addition to the stimulus
it would give the agricultural inter
est, it would scatter hundreds of dol
lars in our town which we would not
otherwise get. Our hotels, especial
ly, would make a good thing of it,
while our merchants would not be
far behind. The fact is, it is too
plain a case to write about.
Why not then commence the
work? Why delay? The matter
ought to be taken in hand at once
so as to complete all the plans and
arrangements preparatory to a mag
nifcent exhibition next fall; such as
will throw alb others in the shade.
There are several prominent farm
ers in our county who should move
in the undertaking, for, by SO doing.
the enterprise would be an assured
one.
We have no plan to suggest of our
own. We are not competent to do
so, but the farmers are, and to them
we appeal to take the initiative.

The MEXIC1N TETERANS.

The proceedings Of the Convention
of the surviving soldiers of the war
with Mexico, held in Knoxville on
Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week will be found in another column.
The number of delegates in attend
ance was about one hundred, repre-
senting all the East Tennessee regi-
ments Of volunteers in that war.
The Convention was addressed by
several prominent gentlemen. Gen.
Cooper, the President, made a most
able and eloquent speech in favor of
the adoption of resolutions asking
Congress to place the surviving
Mexican soldiers upon the same
footing with the surviving soldiers
OF the war of 1912. He was broad
and emphatic that the National
Government should make no in
vidious distinctions, but should be
impartial in its recognition of
services rendered in that war, what.
ever may have since occurred. 1t
was love of country, and the whole
country, that prompted the Tennes-
seeans then to march into q foreign
land, and not only risk their lives in
battle, but what was far more
dangerous, encounter the malarial
diseases of that climate. In that
war there was no bounty offered to
induce volunteers. The soldiers in
it only received seven dollars
month, and yet he knew of men who
actually paid bonus for the erivi-
lege of going in some one else place.
In view of the fact that the result OF
that war had greatly enriched the
National Government, by the addi.
ton Of immense territories of land,
which had and will continue to yield
millions of revenue to the Nation,
he thought that the Government of
the United States should make suit
able provisions for the few remaining
soldiers of that war.
The Committee appointed to wait
upon Senator Brownlow and Repre-
sentatives Maynard and Butler, and |
solicit their influence in Congress, in
behalf Of the proposed measure, dis
charged their duties at once, and we
understand met with the most cor
dial encouragement from each Of the
distinguished gentlemen. Senator
Brownlow gave the committee his
unqualified sympathy and approval
Of the movement, and assured them
that he would give it his personal
sttention in the Senate this winter.
