Patience Is 4 rare herb, and natures to
gigantic proportions only in the alluvial
soil Of fOrgetfulnes. The plant may be
cultivated till it reaches a large sized
tree, but even then it is sometimes chOk-
cd to death by a monster growth called
Impatience. An illustration in point Is
that Of deserving young man of Knox
vile, who has long slumbcred patiently
in the shadow, wanting for something to
turn up. 1t has turned u8o-but he can
not get to it from his standpoint He
asks us if we cannot, q for old acquaint-
ance sake, help him make the trip" We
fear our friend has cultivated dullness as
well as patience, or he would not be
come impatient of his own strength at
such time Not lawyer, or news boy,
or inpecunious reporter in all that city
but could teach him how simple a mat
ter it is to reach the place of his hearts
yearning. All lie has TO do is to go to
the Chronicle and engage to write up "a
Fact about East Tennessee" or to the
Press a1sd Herald and promise a club, big
or little, to it's Dollar Paper, and he can
command free transportation in any di-
rcctiOn, on the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad quicker than the
annunciatOr can call "Strawbery Plains

The CANT of ImDOstors.

1t is SO obvious that physical and CONSTITUTIONS
vgOr is the best defense against disease that even
the vendors of drastic purgatives advertise them
tonics, stomaehics and invigorants, in the hope
of enisting the confidence of the public in the de-
vitalizing and pernitious potions. It is amusing
to note how these inposters initiate and copy tho
language in which the medicinal properties Of Hos-
letters Stomach Bitters are described. Although
the effect of their rasping evacuants is to destroy
the tone of ihe digestive organs and the bowels,
are unscrupulously recommended to the weak and
PROSTATE victims of disease as stimulants! It is
time this humbug <not very successful one It is
true, thanks to the mature common sense Of till
American peopIel was stigmatized it deserves.
Such mischevious falsehoods should be exposed
PRO BONO PUBLIco. Hostetters Stomach BitteIs,
be it distinctly understood, is stimulant. 1t has
spurious basis and that basis is the vehicle which
diffuses its wonderful sanitary principles through
every part Of the system. The tenic, alterstive
and regulating ingredients of the Bitters be com
parativey inert If they not, to speak, car
ried to the localities where they are required by
the stimulating agent. The cant which protests
against the use Of psrs alcoholic huid, when en-
ployed as means OF giving fnllefeette medicinal
extracts at the highest utility ia the cant Of char
latanism. Every intelligent physician 30 charac-
terizss it, and the sick whn griped, ooHyulsed
and debiitated by the nauseous and disgusting
nostrums of the parties who put forth, soon ind
to their sorrow that it Is delusion and snare.
Hostetters Bltters the great sanitary stmulant Of
the age, is, in the truest sense Of the words, a
wholesome, vitalizing, renovating preparation.

Announcement of j. Nj. Bewley.
To MY FELLOW CITIZENS OF HAMBLEN
AND GRANGER COUNTIES: E
have been requested by many of you
to become a candidate for Representa-
tive in the next Legislature of Tennes
see. These.solicitations have been made
by leading and influential citizens from
all parts of both counties; and by men
of almost every shade of political opinion.
1 have no hesitancy in saying that these
evidences Of the esteem in which I am
held by my -fellow-citizens are exceed
ingly gratifying to me; the more so, be-
cause have been assured by many of
them who have solicited me- that they
have not demanded my services because
of my partizan political views, but rather
because of my moderation in politics,
and because / am one of the people,
and have theeinterests of the pe0pJe, rath-
er than of party, at heart / have not
felt myself at liberty to refuse the use of
my name to my friends and fellow-citi-
zens in this behalf; have consented to
many of them to become candidate.
now take this method of saving to
the voters of all parties in both counties,
that am q candidate for Representative,
and will continue to be, and in my own
humble way solicit their suffrage until
the election in November next. state
now, that / greatly desire the honor of
the position, and promise if elected
that my conduct in the Legislature shall
be characterized by an earnest effort to
do all that can to regain the lost rights
of the masses and to tighten their now
oppressive burdens.
Hoping to sec and talk with many of
you personally, solicit the support Of
all those who think me the proper man
for the place and times am, fellow cit
liens, your obedient servant,
