down on a stone in the middle of med

for COW to back up to you to be milked." ("

No TIME TO BE LosT.-In the incipient
stages of Consumption, the first symptoms are
generally hacking cough, pains in the chest,
difficulty of breathing, or oppression of the
lungs. Something should be done at once to
check the cough, allay and heal the irritated
parts. Aliens Lung Balsam will break up
the cough in an incredibly short time; also
prevent the formation of tubercles. Where
tubercles are once formed, the disease is
hard to cure.

vinegar n,,,ers and Not Cholera.

An energetic agent of the Agricultural
Bureau, while in East Tennessee not long
ago, visited some of the high-living farm
ers OF that section, and we suppose showed
his appreciation of the good cooking of
the housewives 10y pretty liberal indul-
gence of his appetite. He gave himself
pretty full license for several days-for the
time entirely forgetting all about the "pre-
vailing." Coming, at last, near the rail
road and into the cholera atmosphere. he
felt some uncomfortable sensations about
the abdominal regions. Making known
his fears To his host, he was persuaded into
taking pretty liberal dose of Vinegar
BitteTs, which he was assured would
put him all right in shorl time
He took the bitters and went on his way
rejoicing. He had an appointment
crate to the farmers of the necessity of or
ganizing to protect themselves from great
mOnopolies, &C., and was anxious to meet
it, In order to do so, it was necessary for
him to ride several miles on horse. This
he did with considerable inconvenience.
The exercise on horseback, together with
the Vinegar Bitters, gave him several of
the symptoms OF cholera. Away from
home and prompt medical aid, cramps,
collapse, &c, were all wildly pictured be-
fore him. After canvassing all his symp-
toms, he concluded he had genuine case
OF cholera, and Off to bed he went. Huge
mustard plasters went on, and strong as
tringents went down. About this time,
while patiently lying on his back enduring
his sufferings, he thought OF the medicine
he had taken, of his speech, of the disap-
pointed farmers, &C., and concluded it was
nothing but Vinegar Bitters. He jumped
out of bed, jerked Offthe mustard plasters,
went to the court house, and the way he
worked up the farmers was n caution.

Poweii's Valley High school.

A few of the citizens OF Campbell cOun-
ty met in convention at Fincastle short
time back, and determined on having a
school Of high grade start in a very short
tim. For this end joint stock company
was formed and something near thou
sand dollars subscribed to run the school
for the first ten months, the location and
teachers to be selected by a board of stock
holders and the salary of teachers and tu-
ition to be fixed by the same.
The school will likely be located for the
present session at Fincastle and he taught
in the Methodist Church. The citizens in
and around Fincastle promise to do all
they can to encourage the school by fur
nishing board on reasonable terms, houses
for families to live in at reduced prices,
and rooms for students to board themselves
in at low rates.
We hope this school will be patronized
and encouraged by all the friends of edu-
cation.
Powell's Valley is known to be one of
the richest and most beautiful valleys in
East Tennessee. The mountain scenery is
grand beyond description. The people
are plain, unassuming farmers, kind and
generous to strangers, liberal in their views
and opinions, enjoying peace and quiet,
making an abundance of this worlds
goods, and having good health to enjoy
it.
There are many advantages in this val
ley besides good health and good living.
1t is free from liquor shops and places of
vice and dissipation. ~

Died at the home of her mother, in
Philadelphia, on Friday evening, the 18th
inst, Mrs. Ellie Ramage, in the 26th year
of her age.
The deceased was the wife of Mr.. S. G..
Ramage, of the Press and Herald, and
had been suffering for months from the
lingering but remOrseless disease, consump-
ton, whose insidious presence slapped the
organs Of vitality ere she WAS aware of its
dread approach.
Her illness was protracted, during which
she received the most unremitting atten-
ton that an affcctionate husband could be-
stow or medical skill devise, but without
avail, and realizing that the end was near,
in April last, she was taken to her former
home, in the hope that the sight of old
friends and familiar objects might prolong
her tenure Of life. But the disease was too
deep-seated, and she grew weaker day by
day, though without murmur escaping
her lips, being strengthened by the abiding
faith that snimates the true Christian, and
which lights the passage of the soul on
the voyage through the dark valley.
The deceased was a member of the Second
Presbyterian Church Of this city. She leaves
but one child, sprightly boy, aged five
years.

Farmers Organizations.

Mr.. Charlton addressed the farmers of
Sullivan last Monday and part of his adj
dressed is reported by the Bristol Courier
as follows:
First, he alluded to the question of inn
migration. East Tennessee was a pioneer
country. A nobler, Drawer people did not
exist but, like an old apple tree, grating
upon them would improve them. He was
not particular where the immigrants came
from, whether from Europe or the North
50 they were honest and Industrious. He
did not want scalawags or carpet-baggers.
Second, the farmers needed organization.
While they were the most numerous oc-
cupation, they were also the weakest. He
did not think farmers clubs amounted to
much was prep assessed in favor of the
Patrons of Husbandy. The farmers of
New Jersy had found it necessary to or
ganize to resist the railroad rings, and had
done so successfully. So had the farmers
of Illinois. The order was secret in some
respects, but its principles and objects were
made public. He alluded to the imposi-
tions practsed upon the farmers by COM
mission merchants in the way OF interest
on advancements, commissions, and other
charges. He pitched into middle-men and
politicians generally.

Great storm In PoweIrs valley.

From a gentleman who resides in that
vicinity, We learn that Powell's Valley
was visited on Friday night of last week,
and again on Saturday by one Of the most
destructive storms in the memory of the
"oldest inhabitant." The oats crop, which
is one of the finest ever known, was pros
trated to the earth and can only be saved
by reaping in the old style. The wheat
crop was blown down, scarcely shock be-
ing left standing. Corn was also blown
down, and much damaged. The rain fell
in torrents. Powelrs river and other
streams in the valley were swollen beyond
their channel, washing away fences and
playing havoc with the farmers.

Speculation, there being fruit, hogs are
yet poor and it will take five bushels
corn to fatten one this year. Wheat and
fruit, both being short, corn will bring q
high price and consequently a hog will
eat his head off.

skip, Mcdonald and others, well known to
a large number OF our readers.

A paper that is worth reading is worth
paying for. We always take ii for granted
that those of our readers who want the

is out will ask us to continue it, We in
struct our mailing clerk to stop all papers
when the time is out. We treat all alike.
We have occasionally sent papers after the
time paid for and the parties refused to
take the paper or pay for it. The fairest
and safest rule is to stop the paper. We
mean no slight by it, We do not mean
when we stop subscribers paper that we
don't have confidence in him. If he wants
the paper continued let him write and
make arrangements with US for it,

Those sheep.

EDITORS CHoNICLE: In the CHRONICLE
of this week, appeared letter signed
"W. L., " in which he seems to charge
me with neglect in not having my sheep
in an enclosure. 1 beg to say the sheep
were in an enclosed place, where they
ought to have been safe. AS to putting.
them up at night, as stated in my last,
is a serious injury to the sheep at this sea-
son, while it would do the dogs no harm
at all, none especially, when they were
known and ack nowledged BY their own
ers to be sheep-killing dogs.

Robbery in the Country.

On'Monday night a man by the name of
r. II. Mynatt, in Union county, asked for
lodgings at the residence of a Mr.. Roberts,
about miles from the city, and as the
man possessed q hospitable nature, of
course the weary traveller was furnished a
room. But judge the surprise Of the kind
hearted old man in the morning when he
found that the stranger had left before
breakfast and took with him some of his
money. In other words the man was rob-
bed and the thief gone. Mr.. Roberts at
once came to town and informed assistant
Marshal Cain, who kept a watch for him
at the depot, and not seeing him get aboard
he proceeded to search the train. He was
brought out on the platform and at once
admitted having committed the crime,
turning over some $500 or $500. He was
brought before Esquire Ochs, who bound
him over to appear at the next term OF the
Criminal Court, and in default of bail, he
was forced to pay his brother (who is I'M
der charge of rape visit at Castle Cos
sett.
On making an examination he was
found to have in his possession a number
of keys, railroad checks, and some slips of
bank note paper, with large figures so on
them, apparently prepared with an inten-
ton of changing smaller bills into that
denomination. From the number of keys,
railroad checks, and other articles found
in his possession, it is thought that he is a
regular sharper.
