The Cholera.

The kilograms from Nashville and
other cities announce the cholera in
their midst in an epidemic form
The Mayor of Knoxville, in view Of
these facts, has issued orders to the
Chief of Police to have the city
thoroughly cleaned and everything
calculated to engender the disease
removed. This is just as it should
be. It shows that Mayor Rule has
a proper regard for the health and
well-being of his city. Now what are
our town authorities going to do to
protect our citizens against this
scourge. 1t is foolish to say there
is no danger. If there is danger in
Knoxville there is danger in Morris
town. There is stagnant ponds and
swamps, and filth generally in and
around Morristown to make cholera
enough to supply the State. 1t is
immaterial how slack the corporate
authorities are in regard to ordinance
violations-big DRINKS, fights, ETC.
n Or how poorly the streets are kept
up. Let our town be cleared of filth
and all causes of diseases and we
will be satisfied.

Medicinal Poisons on the Wane.

The patriarchs took no mercury, no bismuth, no
iodine no bromide Of potassium, no strychoria, no
quinine. Happy old gentlemen! they did not even
know of the existence of these specifies" 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 taking note Of it and returning to
the first principles of medication. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters the purest and most efieacious
vegetable restorative of the day, is also the most
popular. Thousands of persons who only a few
years ago believed implicitly in all the poisons
which figure in the pharInacCepia, now pronounce
this palatable tonic and Alternative a-suficient
remedy for dyspepsia, nervous debility, constipa-
ton, bilious complaints, headache intermittent fe-
vers, and all the ordinary disturbances of the
stomach, the liver, the discharging organs and the
brain. The time is not far distant when most of
the powerful and venomous drugs now 50 recklessly
administered by practitioners Of the ''hereic'
school, in cases that might easily be controlled by
milder treatment, viii be utterly discarded by all
philosophical physicians. AS it is, the thinking
public, who are generally ahead Of the profession
ais, have already put the dangerous preparations
aside and adopted Hostetters Btters in their stead
as safe and excellent household medicine, adapt
ed to almost every aiment except the organic and
deadly contagious diseases. For more than twenty
years this famous restorative and preventive has
been annually strengthening its hold upon the pub
advertised medicine manufactured in this country

Barton, Esq from which we extract
the closing paragraph:
THE business dofe by this house

yond the limits of East Tennessee
and orders for fine goods are fire.

States from entire strangers, who,
with discriminating tact, realize that
an establishment so highly spoken of
and widely known must be perfectly

IAN hour could be pleasantly and
profitably spent in this bazaar of

lected from the four corners of the
earth. while the birds of the air, the

uted from their several stores to add
to the value and beauty of the col

The studebaker Brothers.

We were pleased to receive a call
one day last week, from Mr.. c.
Studebaker, President of the Stude-
baker Brothers Manufacturing Com
pany, Of South Bend, Indiana, and
to learn from him some interesting
facts in regard to the mammoth es-
Enlistment of which he is the Pres
ident. The manufacture of wagons
was commenced by this Company in
1852, at South Bend, on a small
scale, without capital in money, but
with a firm purpose to succeed, and
a perfect mechanical knowledge
of the business. By turning out
none but the VERY BEST work, and
by the closest attention to business,
their establishment soon had grown
to such proportions that it was in
corporated into a stock company,
under the laws of the State of Indi-
ana, with a capital of two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. Their
business still progressing until 1871,
during which year they built 6,285
wagons, 250 carriages and buggies,
25O spring wagons and 800 sleighs
and sleds. the volume of business
being represented by $622.910 in
money, and employing 285 hands,
Their business has continued to in
crease from a small beginning to
one Of the largest in the country
This rapid growth is the result of a
thorough and practical knowledge of
what they were doing. and a proper
regard for the kind of material, etc,
employed in their work-never al
lowing an imperfect piece of any
thing to 60 into their vehicles-they
have become immensely popular
with farmers and all others who have
ever used them. Mr.. Studebaker
has been spending some time at
Tate Spring, and will remain there
for a short while longer, and any of
our people who desire to find out
"all about wagons, should call and
see him and have talk in regard
thereto.

The Sulphur Spring Farm.

We again invite the attention of
those desiring TO make profitable
investment to the advertisement Of
the Sulphur Spring farm, which is
offered for sale upon most reasona-
bic terms, and at very low price
This place is admirably adapted for
man of small means who desires a
pleasant home. The Sulphur Spring,
near it, has considerable reputation
for its health-giving qualities, and a
considerable business could be done
by the purchaser of Maj. McCalla's
place, in keeping boarders through
the summer season, as many persons
would visit the Spring if aceemmoda-
tions were offered.

Oar Road System.

ANY one who has been around
much will recognize the following
pen picture, copied from the "Cl''b
Room" Jackson. West Tennessee :
sWe had occasion a few days since
to ride several miles in the country,
and while out, passed by four differ
ent sets of hands at work upon the
roads. We were struck by the
carelessness and indifference mani
tested by everybody engaged, from
the overseers down. Every one
seemed intent on killing time. doing
just so much as would exempt them
from the penalties of the law. In one
place, out of about twenty, four
were sitting in the fence corner, FIVE
were leaning upon hoe handles, and
the balance leisurely at work, with
pillow, spade or hoe-not one work
ing as earnestly and honest as he
would work in the field. At another
place the proportion of idlers was
just about the same, and twenty-five
or thirty hands were punched togeth-
er so closely that there was constant
interference one with another
Another gang of hands that we pass
ed were collected in a squad listen
ing to a patent medicine lecturer.
AS we came back, this same squad
was leaning on a fence watching
very intently a couple of boys who
had climbed a small tree and were
cutting off the branches
