Catarrh is a common disease-so COM
mon that snnffing, splitting, and blowing
of the nose, meet US at every turn on
the street. Your foot slips in these
nasty discharges on the sidewalk and in
the public conveyance and its disagreed
BILE odor, containing the breath of the
afflicted, renders them offensive to their
associates. There is the highest medical
authority for stating that with full one
half, if not two-thirds, of those afflicted
with Consumption of the Lungs, the
disease commences as Catarrh in the
nose or head, the next step being to the
throat and bronchial tubes-lastly to the
lungs. How important then to give
early and prompt attention to Catarrh /!
To cure this loathsome disease correct
the system by using DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which tones it up,
cleanses the blood, and heals the diseas-
ed glands by a specific influence upon
them; and to assist, use DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy with DR.. Pierce's Nasal
Douche. This is the only way to reach
the upper and back cavities where the
discharge comes from. No danger from
this treatment, and it is pleasant to use.
The two medicines with instrument are
sold by dealers in medicines.

two gentlemen on his tracks They
overlook him Wednesday morning in
Claiborne county near Cumberland Gap,
evidently making his way to Kentucky.
When first discovered he was ordered
to halt, instead of which he put whip to
his horse and took to the woods. After
four or five shots in close proximity to
his person he gave himself up and was
carried to the Tazewell Jail. His trial
was to have taken place last Monday.
- The Festival, given by the NJ.
E. Church South, at Magee Hall last
Friday night was grand success. At
an early hour the crowd began to gather
and continued to pour in until about ten
o'clock. Everything was attractive and
entertaining, for which the ladies de-
serve much credit. The ''post office, !"
under the supervision of three Bellies, y
was quite attractive, and transacted a
lively business. The lemonade welI'
was cute constructed affair and took
in several nickles. In the dining room
were tables, upon which Strawberries,
ice-cream, cakes, &C., were served at
moments notice. There was enough
left to feed almost as many more as were
present. The table committee convinc-
ed the visitors that each one of them
"was the right person in the right
place" The proceeds for the night was
some where in the neighborhood Of $50.
We understand another will be given at
the same place next Thursday night.
Everybody should go, as it is for the
benefit of the church.

G The only Kentucky Republican

the Washington correspondent of the
Columbus Ohio Journal, an organ of
Mr.. Whites party; Mr.. Whites brain
is about the size of grain of pop corn,
and it is always on the pop. The Dem
ocratic Speaker delights to catch the eye
of Mr.. White, and he is recognized by
the chair when ADLER Republicans are
honored with that hotel-clerk stare
which makes man feel as if he cum
bered the ground. The Speaker knows

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THE
COUNTY VARIANTS

/
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Our friend in the GAZETTE of the 31st
of May thinks he has found "mare's
nest " in the 499th section of the code,
which makes null and void the orders of
our Chairman to the tax collector, not to
receive any county warrants issued after
a certain date in 1876 in payment of 1875
taxes.
The Chairman of the County Court is
the financial agent of the county, and
the tax levied for 1875 was laid for the
express purpose of paying the expenses
of the county for that and previous years,
and not for 1876. We have a tax assess
ed for 1876, and when collected will be
applied to the county expenses for said
year. All county warrants are expected
to be paid according to priority, unless
there is money sufficient in the Treasury
to pay all. On page 427, section 2 of
the revised Code of Tennessee, by Thorn
as and Steger, the county Trustee is di-
rected g to pay all just claims against his
county as they are presented, If he has
sufficient sum of money in his hands not
otherwise appropriated" The Trustee
is the only disbursing agent in the coun-
ty, and although the law makes it his
duty to receive from the tax collector on
settlement certain claims against the
same, yet said claims must be placed to
his credit in the proper place. Were
the law otherwise, and the Trustee or
Chairman was bound to receive any and
all Just claims taken up by the tax col
hector at random, whether the tax had
been laid for the payment of the same or
not, or if assessed, whether due or not,
many an old county warrant would lie
fOY nf fnndc
in the Treasury, while new warrants
would often be lifted by the tax collec-
tor months before the tax books were
made out, or any move made to collect
the money assessed expressly for the pay
ment of the same T.. F. LEEPER.

follows: He is a brother-in-law of
