Washington County,
Messrs. Margrave & Co., at Fall Branch,
have just conn .leted their machinery for
grinding baryta, which exists in large
quantities in that section. 1t is of the very

important article of export from this coun-

We understand Charlie Lewis and A. V.
Deaderick have built a boat and started
down Nolachucky. They expect to 20 as
far as Alabama and spend the winter trap

and pleasant trip.
The town schools are rapidly filling UP.
Five teachers employed. We notice, how

The Madisonville correspondent of the
Sweetwater Enterprise on the Goth seys
Our fellow-tOwnsman, Mr.. Thompson,
came very near tossing his little son on
last Saturday in a shocking manner. The
little fellow, who is about three years Of
age was trying to drive an old SOW out of
the yard when she turned upon, and would
no doubt have devoured him if Mr..
Thompson had not been near by and
hastened to his rescue. She made a con-
siderable scar on his cheak with her tusk.
Store Robbed
DR.. Edwin Halls store, at HONEYWELL
Springs, in this county, was robbed on
last Friday night Of about $500 worth of
goods.
DR.. Hall was absent at the time, attend
ing Court at Knoxville. The robbers en-
tered the store by boring through one of
the windows and unkeying the bar which
extended across it. They also carried off a
/. ;. mail key from out Of the office which
was kept in the store.
We have not heard any further particu-
lars, nor whether there is any clue to the
robbers or not. The Doctor had only few
days previous to the robbery received his
stock of winter goods.

GOOD ADVICE.

Wisconsin is blessed with remarka~
BILE good harvest, and we think it will be
well housed Some Of the proceeds will
go to pay old debts, and some to pay in
terest, while sanguine men, who are
anxious to add to their acres, will incur
new obligations and mortgage the future.
We advocate economy 1t is the basis
OF independence We do not mean by
this stinginess, depriving the children of
educational facilities, or the family of
needed recreation, books. improvements
to the house or furniture necessary for
health or comfort.
We advise no narrow policy that
stunts the mind and depresses the body
with heavy burdens that slaves at a
disadvantage for years from fear of in
curing a dept. The most successful
business mon in the world have begun
on borrowed money The capitalists
cannot use their own means: they de-
pend or its judicious use by poorer men
with foresight and capacity But some
men cannot afford to pay interest There
are cases where it is more destructive
than drouth, potato bug, or grass-hop>
pers-lt eats up every green thing, and
drives families from their homes
Finally, in this season of plenty, far
mers who are in debt shou Id remember
that many Of them are using not the
money of capitalists, but the means of
men in comparatively limited circum-
stances-mechanics, merchants and la
borers Pay up, and keep the wolves
from other doors. The merchant, me-
chanlc, doctor, lawyer, minister and
others who have ministered to your
wants, must live; and money, like life
blood, must be freely circulated to keep
community healthy. Don't be extrava-
CANT because the harvest fields are gold
en- and the granaries are to be filled as
they have not been before for years, but
pay up, and then spend wisely and gem
eronsly, to secure wisdom, health and

PRESCRIPTION FOR CHoLERA-The fol-
lowing prescription was adopted by the
College Of Physicians in Philadel pha,
in 1866. 1t has stood the test of many
years experience, and will bear republi-
cation at this time 1t is regarded by
many as probably the very best prescrp>
ton that can be used for cholera in it's
incipient stages
Laudanum, ounces spirits Of camphor, 2
ounces; tmcturc of capeicum, one-half ounce ;
uncturc of ginger, l ounce essence of pep
permint, ounces Hoffman's anodync 2
ounces. If the anodync cannot be readily
obtained, substitute sulphnric ether-half the
quantity.
Mix thoroughly and shake we'll every
time it is Hsed. Give or take from ten
to twenty five drops, according to the
age, condition and violence of attack
In desperate case take tablespoonful
at once. Take it in equal quantity of
water, and lie on the back quietly, or in
an easy sitting posture with the back
supported, till it has full opportunity to
work. Carry a small vial in the pocket,
with few Jumps of white sugar on
which to drop it, to be used in sudden
emergencies Er.

when the door Of their Westinghouse

killed one man outright, morta!ly wound

The best evidence that the scandalous
reports for months past in circulation
against Mr.. Beecher were totally untrue,
is to be found in the fact that his letter
itself has put quietus on the scandal
monsers. f anything was to be dis
closed against him, it should have come
to public notice before this time, since
his calumniators have not only his per-
