BE Wise in1'ime.

Prompt attention to small ailments is the
part of wisdom. Not only does a trifing
disorder often eliminate in dangerous
disease, hut those ailments which many are
accustomed to cgard as "trifes" are go far
from being 80, that they harrass the entire
system, by sympathy, to degree which very
seriously jeopardizes the general health
Take for example an irregular habit of
body, which many persons are accustomed
to neglect altogether. Into what deplOrable
confusion does it throw the entire alimentary
region, disordering digestion, diverting the
bile from its natural channel into the blood,
and alternating the vital current into a
thin, watery, unnutritiOus liquid. If these
are not serious consequences, we should like
to know what are. Yet how many entail
them upon themselves by neglecting to regu-
late their bowels when they are out of order.
The best corrective in the case above de-
scribed, as well as in all others developing
indigestive and constipated symptoms, is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a mild but eff
cient laxative, which never gripes or other
wise distresses the patient, and at the same
time that it yields relief from the special
difficulty tones and invigorates the entire
system. The Bitters are equally efficacious
as diuretic, promoting healty secretion
and regular micturitiOn of the urine, and
soothing irritation of the bladder or the
urethra. Intermittent and remittent fevers,
nervousness, want Of appetite, and local or
general debility are likewise promptly
remedied by this admirable medicinal slim.
ulant and corrective, as eficacious as it is
popular.

You feel better this morning. You
have had the Equinox little in ad-
vance, and yesterday morning there
were headaches and neuralgia eyes
and the sick were all little on "the
back ground" But the wind came
as l told you just from the South with
gush of rain, and from the East with
as mean a wind and rain rs If thew
had come out of Turkey, which is
just now the meanent place on the
habitable globe. Nextit almost brought
a snow from the North, and now you
have the wind from the glorious West
with weather that causes the riders to
sun the heels of their fast horses on the
Border Fair Speed Ring in the jolliest
numbers you ever saw, a week ahead
of the opening. BY the way this prom
ises to be the finest exhibition we have
had. The ladies must cause the upper
room to glow and glitter with their
handwork, for they have made O
reputation in this respect which must
not be lost and which has already
destined their daughters to enviabis
fame. The Bristol lady, and by this
l mean those who exhibit at the
Border Fair, has made a name which
a,princess might envy, but can never
obtain.
Gov. McMullin was In town last
Wednesday evening and attended the
L. IL II. Club, where he asked to say
a word about the little contest between
himself and Pridemore, but the Club
told him he could talk Tilden and

spoke for half an hour and spoke very
well So said.

'Howdy, Mary
'Howdy, George
Folks all well at your house, Mary%
All wei thank you, George, how's
all yours?'
Only tolerable, Mary; mothers
been right poorly for the last week
with the ager, and Jim is still laid up
with the Theumatics."
We'll, George, mother saws that she
was cured sound and well Of the rheu-
matism, by simple recipe, which
was given nigh on to twenty years ago
by an old Snowman, and if you think
Jim will use it, I'll tell you what it
Tas.'
Pm sure he'll try almost anything
that would afford him relief, for he
suffers terribly at times
We'll, George, the way mother makes
1t is this: she takes cAmphor and lauda-
mum, equal parts, big handful of salt,
and puts it all in pint of whisky; let
It stand till the salt and camphor is
dissolved, and then rubs the liquor
thoroughly on the sore places, and in
few days the pain will all leave
III that's the case, Mary, Jim shall
have bottle before an hour longer"
Mother says 1t is suro cure,
George
But tell me, Mary, who was the
Snowman who told your mother about
this cure?'
why, Old John Robinson was his
name, and his Big Show is going to be
in Bristol on October 9th. Mother
says we children may all co.
Mary, don't you think you would
enjoy the show just as we'll if you
rode in my new buggy?'
What, all alone, George?'
OF course not, How could you
drive them colts of mine?'
1T would suit me first-rate If you
drove them, George
That settles it, Mary; Old John RoL-
inson is bound to sell me two tickets
sure, on the 9th of October, when his
menagerie and circus comes to Brlstol.

THE BORDER FAIR.
Early Entries of StOck-Numer-
Gus Orders Ahead.

The Bristol Border Fair will open
next Tuesday, and already twenty
horses have been entered for the Speed
Ring. Numbers of them are being
now daily trained on the track, and
the livelest interest seems manifested.
Neither the Centennial nor John Rob.
inson's Circus seems to have cloyed the
public APPETITE for the occasion. Eight
more horses arrived yesterday. Three
thoroughbreds from Chattanooga have
been entered. Esq. L. G. Cook, of
Rich Valley, has a thoroughbred filly
that is an exquisite picture and as fleet
as a bird. She is very young, but is
destined to turf honors. The entries
of fine cattle from Wythe and Pulaski
are ahead of any heretofore. Pulaski
sends a herd Of short horns. Many
persons are visiting the grounds to
witness the training.
