Dragging out Existence.

The nervous, weakly invalid does not
enjoy life, but merely "drags out exis-
tence," as the phrase is Unified for the
active pursuits of life, and incapable of
partaking ofits pleasures, to which health
alone can give zest disinclned to So
cal intercourse, and prey to melancholy,
the valetudinarian is indeed an object of
pity. Yet there is nothing in all this
that cannot be remedied by that genial
Alternative tonic and nervine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which supplies deficient
stamina, braces the nervous system, and
overeomes those bodily irregularities to
which nervous weakness is most frequent
ly attributable. Diseases of the kidney
and bladder, imperfect digestion and
uterine troubles are fertile sources of de-
bility, Their eradication however, be-
comes matter of certainty when Hos
letters Stomach Bitters are systematic
ally used for that pdrpose. The Bitters
likewise annhiate and prevent fever and
ague and other debilitatng febrile com
plants of a malarial nature.

CENTENNIAL SALUTE.-As a starter
for at least some public attention to the
One Hundredth Birthday Of Our Coun-
try, it has been suggested that Centen-
nial salute Of One Hundred guns would
be very appropriate. This idea is good
one and we hope it will be adopted by
our citizens and that they will not stop
at this but go on and get up celebra-
tion worthy Of the place and the occasion.
A proper celebration would bring a great
many people and much money to Weav-

At the candy pulling last Satur-
day night a young man deposited
his roll of candy in his plug hat
while he danced. and when he got
through turning around in the
mazes he was so wound up and
twisted that he forgot the candy
and slapped his plug on and started
home. The candy had melted in
the hat and when he put it on it ran
down and commingled with his
golden locks. He tried to pull il
off when he got home, but it stayed
there like it had been dove tailed
into his head, and came off only by
persistent pulling, leaving the lining
and candy still on his head. By
holding his head in a tub the bal
ance of the night he got rid of it
but the hat still remains a.dilapida
ted wreck of its former self; and
the worst of it is, it was borrowed
flom a young lawyer, who Daily
mourns his loss. The young MAJ

was being removed displayed thu

PERSONAL.

Persons who come into town from
the south might suppose that the
right hand adaptations are owned
by lone and Iorn widow, who has
no one to drive a nail for her, and
that the improvements on the left
are those of a pushing man of bust
ness. But appearances are deceit
full in this vale.
Mrs. W. w. Gordon has, during
the last week, been on a visit to her
friends in Marshall.
We are happy to report that Mrs.
Munroe Johnson is improving in
health.
Mr.. Lindsay is, for a short time,
selling fo~ cost, and the cost is as
tonishingly small. Our merchants
here generally either buy theil
goods very cheaply or make very
small profits on them.

A gentleman Of unimpeached We
racity told US last Monday in the
presence of witnesses who will bear
testimony to his reliability, that he
had made three hundred dollars last
year by reading the CITIZEN. He
made a trade which he could never
have had a chance to make if he
had not seen an advertisement
in the CITIZEN. We thank the gen
tleman referred to for this informa-
ton. 1t is an argument IN Favor
first of the Importance Of advertis-
ing. The advertisement referred to
accomplished the object designed
by the advertiser. 1t argues the
Importance of taking the paper, be.
cause you will frequently find in il
suggestions, information or propo-
sitions worth vastly more than the
subscription price. 1t also argues
the Importance of constantly read
ing the advertisements. We regard
the advertising columns of a paper
by far the most interesting part o.
it, especially if the advertisers are
live, energetic men. Now be sure
to learn three things from this
First, take the CITIZEN; second, ad
vertise if you want to buy, sell, rem
or hire anything; third, read adver
tisements always.

When you are offered the market
price for wood in the morning, sell
it and go bring another load.
Don't wait till late in the evening
and then bave to sell it for what
ever you can get. This paragraph
as well as the one last week, is in
tended to do no injury to the legiti-
mate wood dealers, but to stop if
possible this unjust practice some
haulers have of exacting more than
the market price when wood is q
little scarce or the weather turns
suddenly cold. Last week we hap
pened to be out of wood by the fail
ure of parties to supply US accord
ing to contract. We went upon the
street and very readily bought two
loads at their marketsvalue, and Of
fered the same price for a third, but
the owner, because it was cold and
but little wood was seen on the
street, thought he could prize a big
price out of somebody. The two
first sold out at their own price and
brought another load each and sold
it, while the third idled away the
day. Late in the evening he begged
US to take the wood at the price
offered for it in the morning. We
reitterate what we meant TO say last
week. If wood haulers want to ex-
tortion on you, wait till evening to
buy. But If they offer you wood at
reasonable price it would be mean
to take advantage.

Belknap had the right to resign on

cussed by party of Pulaski gen

question turning upon Grants duty
in the premises, a learned conserv-

Belknap could have compelled Grant

right over the gap, and then turns
around and puts the fence up be
hind itself, cutting off its own re-
treat. We wrote our article, not as a

Tom Hale, cold, was put in Jail
last Wednesday for a very sharp
trick. He went to Golman's mill,
mile from Lynnville, and told the
miller that he came after that -four.
The miller asked him what flour,
and he replied that it was a man up
the creek and he couldn't remember
the name. The miller looked around
and found chat Mr.. Hudson, up the
creek, had some flour there, and he
told the negro that he was the only
man who had any there. The negro
said that was the man, and that he
had a heavily loaded wagon up at
the road about three hundred Yards
off and would carry the flour to it.
The miller let him have it and that
was the last of it, until the next
day, Mr.. Hudson sent for his flour,
and the trick was discovered, which
landed the gay and festive diabol-
ical cuss in Jail here. VIII this
negro stealing never stop? If we
had a half dozen first-class hang
ings maybe that would throw a
damper upon their propensity to
steal. Penitentiary and jail discip
line is not severe enough, the law is

lenient. Let's have the whipping
