what They are worth a. the ~Ab-

Time"-An Appeal in Behalf of the
state Historical society.

stFaets and Brief Chronicles OF The
Tfme"-An Appeal ina Behalf Of n
state Historical society.
In the Gdlldtin Examiner o. yesterday
appears the following, which we cheeHfully
reproduce:
The Tennessee Historical Society, for
more than a quarter Of a century, has been
quietly al WORK gathering together material
out OF which the historian may more per-
feCtly record the annals of Tennessee. In
a short time, il IS contemplated 0y the so
ciety to publish a number Of volumes Of
its Transactions which will be Of great
interest and value. Those will, Of course,
relate only 10 the past. Among the mate
rial collected by the society, nothing Is OF
geater value than old newspapers, which
not only record the most stirring and i'm
pOrtant public events. but most fully illus
trate sthe body Of the time, its form and
pressure" To the historical writer they
are invaluable. Now, the newspapers Of
to-day will, q century hence, pCssessa like
value to the student Of that period that the
Journals a century back do to US Of Oday.
We Of 1875 are making history for com
ing generations, and the press IS faithfully
recording Il.
The undersigned was at the May meeting
Of the State Historical Society, charged with
the duty Of addressing the publishers Of
the various newspapers and magazines Of
the State with the earnest request that they
cooperate with the Society in its work by
contributing a copy Of their several publi-
cations. Ifeel that the request will at once
be responded to-. The Legislature having
/ assigned a large room Of the Capitol build
inc for the use Of the Society, the newspa-
pers and other periodicals contributed will
be carefully filed and preserved. Sure pre-
servatiOn is further guaranteed by a pro-
vision in the law, that on the event Of the
dissolution Of the Society, or upon Its oeas-
| ing active work, all It's records, property and
| collections, shall become the property Of
the State Of Tennessee.
1t is proper TO state to the publishers that
the Society has no funds except the vOlun-
tarv contributions Of its members. They
/ have already expended several thousand
| dollars out Of their own pockets.
Those willing TO aid the Society as indi-
/ Gated will please address their publications
10 sThe state Historical Society, Nashville,
/ Tenn, - commencing at once. If cOnve-
uient, files from Jan. 1, 1915, or az terror to
/ that date, would be acceptable.
By order Of the Society.

Special Committee.
Gallatin, May 4, 1915.
In order TO give greater publicity to the
above, Nashville, Memphis, chattanooga
and Knoxville, and such other State papers
as feel an interest in the subject, are re-
/ specially asked 20 copy.

The HeMiunviIIe and Manchester
Railroad.

We understand that a compromise has
been affected as to all the litigation pend
ing between this road and the Nashville,
Chattanooga aud st. Louis Railroad Com
pany. and that the suits on either side are
TO be Withdrawn or dismissed at the present
term Of the Supreme Court.
The latter company assumes all the liza
bilities of the stockholders, and pays them
two shares for one in stock Of the cOnsoli-
dated Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railroad Company for all their stock.
The Manchester Guardian says "Ihis
is not only an excellent settlement for the
stockholders of the McMinnville and Man
chester Railroad, but the probability is that
it assures its extension wit in a brief Pc
Rod to Sparta, and perhaps beyond. In
common with the citizens along the route
Of this road, We heartily rejoice al the
friendly termination of the veXatiOus and
costly litigation which has been in progress
for so many years, to the serious detriment
Of the road and the people interested in its
success"

If VEGETINE viii relieve pain, cleanse, puri-
fy and cure such diseases, restoring the pa
tient to perfect health after trying differ
ent physicians, many remedies, suffering Tor
wears, IS il not conclusive proof, If You are a SUI
ferer, yOu can be cured? Why is this medicine
performing such great cures IL works Ia the
blood, in the circulating fluid. 10 can be truly
called the Great Blood Purifier. The great
source Of disease originates in the blood and no
medicine that does not act directly upOnu, to

Dear Sir-The following il n statement OF nv
experience with the Great Blood Remedy, We
ETINE. have been keeping a clearinghouse
here for many years, and have had the mlstOr-
tune 70 have a great deal OF sickness in my
family. In one case iu particular / noticed the
wonderful effects OF EEGETISE.
About the year ISL a young man, then 16years
old, who was a distant relative Of mine, came
home from sea. He hat injured his left leg on
board the ship some months before, ami when
the ship came into this port he came 70 my
house, beilg so feeble that he COulG not 90 % h1s
home in Lowell His leg was swollen above the
knee more than twice its natural size, and he
was obliged TO drag IL along after him, having
no use Of il whatever. The effect Of this had
reduced him 20 a mere skeleton. His father
came down and employed DIR. George Hayward,
OF Boston. to attend him, who then occupied a
prominent position in the Massachusetts, Gene
raj Hospital. He pronounced 10 a bad case OF
Necrosis; said he must be removed to the hos
pital, have his leg opened and the bone horeI,
TO allow the discharge OF matter there Collected;
otherwise the leg must be amputated-
Not thinkingit advisable to pursue this course
and having used VEGETTSE, the Great Blood
Remedy, In the past with 50 good elect, con-
cluded TO try it In this case. After taking il
reguIarIv for SIX weeks, his leg was but little
swollen. and his general health so much I'M
proved that he did not look like the same per-
son. At the end Of months he Went home 70
Lowell perfectly cured. He remained IN Lowell
until the commencement Of the war then
joined the army and was pronounced a sound
and well man.
The above is but one case out Of many where
I have seen this Blood Remedy used with IN
parallel success. ! have taken it myself for
twenty years, more or less, for Dyspepsia and
General Debility, and il always appeared 70
give me new lie and vig0r-
One laay bOarder was completely cured from

and tried almost everything else without receiV
ing any benefit. Another lady was cured from

tended her from time 70 time.

and found more relief than in anything else she
could procure.
do not want to Over-estimate its usefulness;
but / DO want those suffering from sickness TO
know what this good medicine has dOHe and is
still doing, for know What 10 Is 70 be imposed
upon when sick, and 4 think 1t Il wrong Tor any
one 10 Over-estimate a remedy at the expense OF
the helpless sick; and i, for one, will not do Il

In this complaint the good effects OF the VIC
EIIsE are realized Immediately after cOmmenc-
ing 70 take it; as debility denotes deficiency Of
the blood, and NEGETISE acts directly upon the
blood. There IS no remedy that viii restore the
health from debility like the FEGETINE. II i
nOurishing and strengthening purihes the blood,
regulates the bowels, quiets the nervous system,
acts directly upon the secreti0ns, and arouses
the whole system TO action. It has never failed

SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE.

A Main street JsweIIer Packs mp
his NtOeH OF Goods and Leaves the
city suddenly.
Yesterday morning the jewelry estab-
lishmeut of Mr.. NJ. j. Slater, No. 224
Main street, near Adams, did not open
as usual. Ere long rumors of a strange
nature we're in circulation, and Deputy
Constables began to appear in the vicin-
ity. These officers Of the law bore in
their hands bits of white paper, marked
attachments, and by virtue OF this au-
thority the doors were forced. To the
establishment Of all but the "posted y
the establishment presented a Quilted
appearance. All the showcases, win
dows, ETC., had been stripped, and moth
ing was left except a lot of clocks and a
lot of old jewelry of but little value.
Attachments we're plastered all over the
house by the c%onstables, who now poured
in thick and fast. 1t appeared that on
Saturday night Mr.. Slater had packed
up all his valuables, a stock valued at
about $4,000 or more, and on Sunday
morning had taken the train for Little
Rock or Hot Springs, Arkansas.
On Saturday he borrowed one hur-
dred dollars from Mr.. Duffy, the Adams
street saloon keeper, for which he gave
his note payable in a day or two.
Creditors appeared by the dozen; they
inspected the premises and ~recounted the
tales as to how they had been lett in the
lurch. 1t was understood hat q Mr.,
Cooper, who resides out in the country
not far from the city, had a bill of sale
TOR the remnan Of stock left by Slater in
the house.
