remains were transferred to it. The
horses were appropriately adorned with

large dogs, bearing Grape streamers
about their shaggy necks, were ranged in

A healthy liver secretes each dav about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains a
great amount of waste material taken from
the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or
congested it fails to eliminate this vast
amount of noxious substance, which, there
fore, remains to poison the blood and be con
veyed TO every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when it is
receiving and retaining each day two and a
half pounds of poison. Nature tries to work
off this poison through other channels and
organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc; but
these organs become overtaxed in performing
this labor in addition to their natural func-
tions, and cannot long withstand the pressure,
but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center Of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by
the unhealthy blood which passes to it from
the heart and it fails to perform its office
healthfully Hence the symptoms of bile
poisoning, which are dullness, headache, in
capacity to keep the mind on any subject, i'm
pairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy or nery-
Gus feelings, gloomy forebodings and irrita-
bility of temper. The blood ITSELF being dis
eased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface
of the skin, is SO irritating and poisonous that
it produces discolored brown spots, pimples,
blotches and other eruptious, sores, boils,
carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The
stomach, bowels and other organs spoken of
cannot escape becoming affected, sooner or
later, and costiveness, piles, dropsy, dys-
pepsia, darrhea, female weakness and many
otherf of chronic disease are among the
necessary results. AS remedy for all these
manifestations of disease DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery with small daily doses of
his Pleasant Purgative Pellets are positively
unequaed. By them the liver and stomach
are changed to an active and healthy state,
the appetite regulated and restored. the blood
and secretions thoroughly purified and en-
riched, and the whole system renovated and
built up anew. Sold by all first-class drug

The fair being held by the colored
people of our county commenced last
Wednesday. Owing to the unfavor
able weather, the attendance on the
first day was small, while on the second
it was much larger. Yesterday being
a bright, beautiful day, the crowd was
very large, and to-day, they expect the
attendance TO surpass that of any pre-
vious one. The display of articles en-
tered for the various premiums was
excellent, and reflects credit upon
those exhibiting them. The managers
extended an invitation to Hon. Jeffer-
son Davis to deliver an address at the
Fair Grounds to-day but on account
of previous engagements, he was COM
PEELED to decline.

THE JOHNSON OBsEQUIEs.-The
popular demonstration ,of respect for
the memory of ex- President Andrew
johnson, last Saturday, in Nashville,
is said to have surpassed even the
sansuine expectations of those who in
augurated the movement. Atan early
hour in the morning the streets were
thronged with participants and specta-
tors of the ceremonies. Thousands of
visitors from all parts of the State
were present to do honor to the mem
DRY of the illustrious dead, and the
street pageant was one of the largest
ever witnessed in Nashville. The
American, speaking of the procession,
says: I'VE know Of no more eloquent
feature of the MEMORIAL procession
than the decorated chariot bearing the
young ladies representing the several
States of the UniOn-the one who rep
resented Tennessee being arrayed in
deep mourning, and occupying the
summit of this pyramid of youth,
grace and beauty. If there was an
other feature Of the occasion as elo-
quent and significant, it was that of
the promiscuous commingling Of the
braves of the two contending armies
in the late war-consplcuous and lead
ing actors in the scene being Gen.
Pennypacker and Gen. Frank Cheat
ham, seated on their chargers side by
side in the procession, and as it passed
in review at the close of the day. Men
of various nationalities, of both sec
tons, and of nearly every State Of the
Union and of all shades of political
opinion, fraternally co-operated to
make the event memorable in the gov
ornamental and political history of the
country.
