LATE returns from the interior and
Western counties Of New York give
still greater breadth and force to the
Democratic victory in that State. The
Nelr York World says the majority on
the State ticket Will reach fifteen thous-
and, and that there is a possibility Of
both Houses being yet tie, although
the probabilities are that the Repubi-
cans viii have a small majority in the
Assembly, bu5 majority which de-
ponds upon such a slender thread that
it will defeat the schemes and plans of
the Administration Ring"
THE ClarksrUe Tobacco Leaf puts it
thus:
The Democratic party has now an
opportunity which rarely comes to
party. The Republicans are disguised,
apathetic. and have no longer a princi-
pie to contend for. Now is the golden
opportunity for the Democratic party
10 advance. not abstract principles, but
practical issues, to take a fair and
square stand on monopolies and tariffs,
and say Just what it will do, and the
apathetic and disguised Republicans
viii sever their party chains and flock
to a new standard which means some
thing"

Medicinal Poisons on the Wane.

The patriarchs took no mercury, no bismuth, no
iodine no bromide of potassium, strychoria, no
quinine. Happy old gentlemen! they did not even
know Of the existence of these specifics, and yet
they lived until it seemed that Death had forgotten
them. Their medicines were herbs and roots
They have left this fact record, and the world
seems to be now taking note Of it and returning to
the first principles of medication. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the purest and most ehicacious
vegetable restorative Of the day, is also the most
popular. Thousands Of persons who only few
years ago believed implicitly in all the poisous

the powerful and yenomous drugs recklessly
administered by practitioners of the ''hereic"
school, in that might easily be controlled by
milder treatment, will be utterly discarded by all
philosophical physicians. As it is, the thinking

4 Cure for Cholera.

The Knoxville Chronicle, of the
9TH, says: I'm view Of the fact that
other portions of our State are being
scourged with that dreadful disease,
cholera, it behooves every one to
Immediately provide themselves with
the best known remedies, for, to be
cured at all, cholera must be cured
quickly. The first symptom Of this
disease is usually a painless diar-
rhpa, accompanied with a feeling Of
GOODNESS in the bowels. Where the
cholera is prevailing no other warm
ing is necessary, but the person at
tackled should Immediately lie down
and keep quiet, have large mus
tard poultice prepared and cover the
entire abdomen. To stop the diar-
rh9a nothing has yet been discovered
more efficient than DIR. Lytle's Elk
ir, taken in liberal doses, which
should be taken as soon as possible.
Should the case be stubborn and
pain and cramp follow, take a large
dose of Dr. Harris Great Relief in
wardly and have the limbs rubbed
vigorously with the same By fol-
lowing these simple directions, no
one need fear cholera.

Obituary.


DIED. at White Pine, Jefferson
county. Tenn, May 20. 1873, An
DREW BLACKBURN MCFARLAND, near
81 years of age.
Mr.. Mcfarland joined ST. Paul s
church under the ministry of Rev.
Robert Hardin in the year 1918. and
was elected ruling elder in 1921
For fifty-fve years he served the
Master with consistency. He so
lived that all who knew him, recog-
nized him as an upright, modest,
earnest christian.
For several years he suffered much
yet he endured it all with great pa
thence. Calm in temperament, his
Christian assurance was wonderful.
Two years ago he told the writer
that he had calmly reviewed the evil
| dences of his acceptance, and felt
| that his hope was well founded
Christ being the corner stone. Only
one thing had troubled him: he had
for years dreaded the terrors OF
death; but he had then concluded
that dying grace would not be given
him till it was needed. When the
time come all was well. Day by
day, as he drew nearer the dark
river, grace was given him to lean
entirely upon Jesu-.
The life of Mr.. Mcfarland was
beautiful. He lived and died in the
same community, and no one ever
doubted his honesty or piety. AL
though quiet and retired, his in
fuence for good was none the less.
In fact, such a life as his is one OF
the strongest proofs that the relig-
ion of the Bible is real.
Much will "Uncle Andy" be miss
ed in the community. He will be
greatly missed by his children and
grandchildren but he viii be missed
most by his aged and feeble wife,
who for many years, walked with
him through the wilderness. Low
ingly. tenderly did they live togeth.
er here. Happily, joyously will they
dwell together in Heaven.
May God override this dispense
ton for good. We hope, yea, we
believe, that in answer to the pray.
ers of this aged patriarch, He will
lead the children and grandchildren
not yet christians, into the fold oil
the faithful.

Wholesome Advice.

Do not eat fresh fish or pork !;
spurn unripe fruit and stale vegeta-
bles; drink but little ice-water while
ever-heated; be temperate and reg
ular in all your habits; keep a clean
body, a clean house and yard, using
lime freely; Immediately check the
least diarrhea, or vomiting, or pain
in stomach. The most sensible plan
is to send for regular physician in
all cases, yet a prescription from
any good physician will answer near
ly as we'll for all cases of diarrhea
pain in stomach, vomiting, etc. At.
tacks of cholera are most liable to
come on in the night and toward
morning, at an hour when a physi-
clan can hardly be obtained imme-
diately; hence, every person should
have some bottled prescription on
hand ready for such emergencies.

In the course of a spicy article
answering the question "Are adj
vertisements ever read?" the Mo-
bile Register says: eff any man
affects to believe that advertisements
are not read, let him advertise that
he wants to buy dog, for instance.
If he is not furnished with every
variety of animated sausage that
morning before breakfast, and be-
sides with one or two sound grounds
for suits against him for assault, we
will break our golden rule and dead
head his advertisement. And it is
fair to infer that any man who wants
to sell dog also wishes to buy some
thing with the proceeds of his canine
venture, and go up to the man who
wishes to sell his cargo of coffee that
he may buy a cargo of Western pro-
duce."

Family COnrtesles.

In the family the law of pleasing
ought to extend from the highest
to the lowest. You are bound to
please your children and your chill
dren are bound to please each other
and you are bound to please your
servants if you expect them to please
you. Some men are pleasant in the
household and nowhere else. We
all know such. They are good faith
ers and kind husbands. If you had
seen them in their own homes You
would have thought they were al
most angels; but if you had seen
them in the street. in their shops, in
their counting houses, or anywhere
else outside of their own homes, you
would have thought them almost
savages. But the opposite is apt to
be the case with others. When
among strangers or neighbors they
endeavor to act with propriety; but
when they get home they say to
themselves. 81 have played a part
long enough, and now L am going to
be natural" So they sit down and
are ugly, and snappish and blunt
and disagreeable. They lay aside
those little courtesies that make the
toughest floor smooth, and makes
the hardest things like velvet, and
that makes life pleasant. They ex-
pend all their politeness in places
where it will be proftable-where it
will bring gold and silver.
