@ 4 good deal Of unea,

a@ 4 good deal of unea-
siness was felt in Fayetteville
Saturday night and Sunday, be-
cause Of the nOn-ar1ival Of the
train. Rulmors of distressing
character were circulated, rep
rescnting that the cars had
jumped the track near Hunts
station, fearfulIy wounding all
on board. 4 hand car started
up the road Sunday morning to
learn particulars. The same
evening the engine whistle was
heard in town, and soon the
streets leading to the depot were
alive with persons seeking the
cause Of the detention. We
learned that Saturday morning
passing up alta point about TWEEN
ty miles from here a rail had
been misplaced about two inch
es, which caused the engine,
tender and an empty coal car
to leave the track. The spikes
had been drawn after the rain
of Friday night-three Of them
being found about a fourth of q
mile this side Of the scene Of
disaster, and the other two a.
bout one hundred yards the 9th
err side. The pedestais of the
engine trucks were cracked,
which was all the damage done.
The cars were replaced on the
track by 104 o'clock Saturday
night, and the train went on to
Decherd.

NJ The contractors of the
new courthouse deserve great
praise for the untiring energy
with which they have prosecu-
ted their work. The contract
recites that the second story
shall be ready for the Circuit
Court at the July term, 1874,
but by hard work and persever-
ence the builders had it so far
advanced that the Court is able
to occupy it the present term,
this saving the county an ex-
pense for rent of about $3.50
The taxpayers of the county
ought to be grateful to Messrs-
Meyers, Davidson, Stonebraker
& Turley for tightening their
taxes to the amount named.

Hack, Hack. Cough, Cough!

Cough is symptom by which various
diseased conditions Ct the throat, bronchial
tubes and lungs manifest themselves But
whether it rises from the irritation produced
in the hroat and Iarynx by taking cold,
from an attack of Bronchitis, from incipj-
ent Consumption, or from various other
causes, nothing Will allay it more speedily
nor cure it more permanently than DR.. Pier
ce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t does
not. matter whether it be a recent attack, or
a lingering cough, the Discovery is in either
case equally well adapted for its relief and
permanent cure. In fact it will cure a
cough in one-half the time necessary to
cure it with any other medicine, and it does
it, not by drying it up, but by removing the
cause, subduing the irritation, ard healing
the affected parts No time should be lost
in commencing the use of a proper medicine
for the relief of a Cough, for unless this
course is pursued, serious and dangerous
disease of the lungs is liable to result.
