THE REASON WHY.

The question is daily asked by thousands Of
our citizens, why it is the l. L Bitters have
achieved such popularity with the public, and
have such an immense sale:' The reason is
because they are an old and well established
article, and are made from the most choice
herbs and roots: the many who have tried them,
testify TO their beneficial qualities, and have no
hesitation in recommending them to their
afflicted friends.
They are acknowledged to be the best tonic
and recuperator known; they build up the sys-
ten, and impart strength to the weak and ex-
hausted, and are endorsed and recommended by
our most eminent Physicians las per certificates
On each bottle). To those afflicted with the
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Loss of Appetite, as
a blood purifier they surpass all other so called
tonics which have lately been placed in the
market.
No family should be without them. Sold

| have just closed one Of the most
successful schools of my life, at Sharp's
school house, located about five miles
below Maynardvile. The school was
a small one, as country schools usually
are at this season Of the year; butthe
progress made by the students has
been remarkable 4 deep interest has
been awakened in the settlement, and
the patrons aud friends of the school
gave us a grand picnic on yesterday.
The display of pies, cake, chicken,
jellies aud other delicious edibles was
excellent, and, Notwithstanding the
crowd was large, every one got enough
to eat aud to spare. The patrons
proved 10 every one present that they
are whole. souled; aud the condition
aud Appearance of the edibles showed
their wives and daughters To be splen-
did cooks.
The wheat crop of this section was
fair Oats about 60 per cent, the
drouth having greatly injured them.
Irish potatoes are non est. Gardens,
generally, ditto. The hay crop will
probably average 80 per cent. Apples
are rottlng and falling from the trees.
On old land corn will prove total
failure; ON flesh ground the yield will
he fair.
We are now having an abundance OF
rain. but 1t is too late to benefit old

1t may be matter Of some surprise
to your readers to learn that the famous
TEMPERANCE CRUSADE
Of Greeneville, that wss the theme for
so much discussion four or five months
ago, still continues. Yet it is a fact.
Every day since the lOth Of February
have the ladies been nobly and heroic
ally standing guard at the groggeries.
Many persons thought it only idle
boast when those ladies announced
their determination to fight it out on
this line. They did not begin the work
from any over-excitement, but after
the coolest deiberatiOu, hence their
continuance.
WONDERFUL CHANGE

OF old Greene county on the subject of
the liquor traffic. The responsibility
with which this Infamous business had
been galvanized has to "A great extent
been removed. 1t stands out day in

Church. The house was very full OF
all classes of our citizens To hear him
upon this great theme.
On Monday, at the Presbyterian
church, at 1880 A. NJ, he lectured t.

St. PalrIck,s Crave In Ireland

thriving, comfortable looking on Inc

Of Ireland. But something more thau
disappointment, something like indignsn,
surprise, takes possession Of one on being
led up TO what is said 10 be held sacrld
as the grave Of 81. Patrick, and which "a
slch IS visited, am told, by multitudcs
Of American strangers every year. 1t lies
IN the highest and most central position
In tho otherwise dccently.kept church

and is the one spot Of earth in the whole
