There is no medicine prescribed by
physicians, or sold by druggists, that
carries such evidence of its success and
superior virtue as BosCHEE's GERMAN
SYRUP for severe Coughs, Colds settled
on the Breast, Consumption, or any dis
ease of the Throat and Lungs. a proof
of that fact is that any person afflicted
can get Sample Bottle for 10 cents and
try its superior effect before buying the
regular size at 20 cents. 1t has lately
been introduced in this country from
Germany, and its wonderful cures are
astonishing every one that uses it. Three
doses win relieve any case, Try it. Sold

The people of Sullivan county
have passed very severe condemna-
tory Resolutions upon Governor
Porter, charging him with indecent
haste in appointing a successor to
Judge Gillenwaters before he was
buried. They characterize it las
an insult to the living and the dead
and reckless Indifference to the
wishes and the choice of the people.

We hear from a source which we
are bound to consider reliable, that
there is a proposed change in the
line of NJ. & X. r. r. Instead Of
running to-Clifton on the Tennes
see river it is proposed to run from
this point through the southern
portion Of the county crossing the
river at the nearest point TO Corinth
Miss. From thence to Memphis,
the line would be equally as good as
if run from Clifton and even some
shorter. The Wayne County anti

freely, for if this report proves to
be true, there will be no further
trouble about the issuance of bonds.
