Summer fever is raging. 1t is both a
contagion and an epidemic. The symp-
toms of the disease are a disposition to
follow the adage of the Indian, at Is
better to walk than TO run, it is better to
sit than stand, 1t Is better to lie down
than to sit down." This disease RACES
with unsbated fury among the unem-
ployed. Indeed, the remedy is employ
ment.-HuntingdOn Republican.
AS we have given our distant readers
an eXacJreport of the inception and pro-
gress of the cholera, and kept them, al
most, daily advised, without any con-
cealment, we as confidently announce
to them its total disappearance. The
general health of the town is again
good; in fact, rather better than at the
ike season of any previous year.-GGl-
latin Examiner.
A young tornado passed over town
Monday night about ten o'clock, coming
from the northwest. For about twenty
minutes the wind blew terrifically, scat
tering things promiscuOusly in its path,
breaking trees, upsetting fences, tum-
bling bricks from chimney-tOps, and
just playing smash generally. We learn
that between here and TobaccOport the
timber suffered severely, and the corn
crops more or less; oats were damaged
considerably in plaees.-DoUer Record.
We have made visit to every part
and corne of the city, and after per-
sonal investigation and inquiry of the
Undertakes and physicians, we are
able to announce that there was but q
single death in the city yesterday from
any cause. The very few cases of sick
ness, varying, of course, as to the dis
ease, are all improving. The health of
the city is, therefore, unusually good.

There haye been but eleven deaths
since our last issue, there being twenty
nine the week previous. There have
been no new cases of cholera reported
in town since last Saturday, and there
are but few old cases being treated. 1t
is the opinion Of cur physicians that
the disease has almost entirely abated,
but they advise that the people still act
very prudently, as there is good deal
of flux, dysentery and other bowel dis
eases stillin the cOuntry.-AulJrees 6oro

The Nail says that Msury county can
never pay the interest on her debt. Her
present de't is about eleven thousand
dollars. A the legal rate this would
amount to the Insignificant sum of six
hundred and sixty dollars year. And
this sum, our contemporary says, Maury
cOunty-with eleven millions of proper
ty, and nearly forty thousand popula-
tiOn-can never pay. II this be true, we
apologize for all that we have said about
the wealth of our eounty-we by no
means meant to mock her poverty

At the time of her death this old lady

eralogy, has paid our county visit and

Tellico, i'm company with Major Donk-
