"FOr the Blood is the Life.''

See Deuteronomy, xii: %. The blood
being the source from which the system
is built up, and from which we derive
our mental as well as physical capabili-
ties, how important that it should be
kept pure! If it contains vile, fostering
poisons, all organic functions become
enfeeblcd. Settling upon important or
gans, as the lungs, liver, and kidneys,
The effect is most disastrous. Hence it
behooYes all to keep their blood in a
perfectly healthy condition, and more
especially does this apply at this particu-
lar season of the year than at any other
No matter what the exciting cause may
be, the real cause of large proportion
of all diseases is bad blood. Now, Dr.
Pierce does not wish to place his Golden
Medical Discovery in the catalogue of
quack patent nOstrums, by recommend
ing it to cure every disease, nor does he
so recommend it; on the contrary, there
arc hundreds of diseases that he acknOwl-
edges it Will not cure; but what he does
claim is this, that there is but one form
of blood disease that it will not cure, and
that disease is cancer. He does not rec
ommend his Discovery for that disease,
yet he knows it to be the most searching
bloOd-cleanser yet discovered, and that
it will free the blood and system of all
other blOod-poisons, be they animal veg
etable, or mineral. The Golden Medical
Discovery is qod47uRted by him to cure
the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as all
forms of Blotches, Pimples, and Erup-
tions; also all Glandular Swellings, and
the worst form of Scrofulous and Ulcer

"Hurrah for Chop Tack. >.

In the old days, when politics ran high
in Hawkins county, the above was IA
miliar cry. If Chop Tack increased her
Wing majority from 100 to 10 it secured
the election of Wing sheriff or repre-
sentative, and hence the returns were
looked for from that District with eager
ness, and one party or the other always
raised the shout, 'hurrah for Chop Tack. ;
The first Monday in January seemed
to be the day fixed upon by the preach
crs and magistrates for making returns
of the marriages sOlemniZed by them
during the last two or three weeks. Es-
quire Shenks brought in the returns
from Chop Tack, and come out ahead of
any other magistrate or preacher. He
had ten licenses, all filled up and endors
ed as the law requires The old district
has done her duty faithfully and well.
The young people down there have set
am example to the other portions of the
county, which they would do well to
follow.
Our advice to healthy, sober young
men has always been, get married, buy
yourself little piece of land, build
cabin and go to work" East Tennessee
is just as good country as there is upon
the face of the earth. All that is need
ed to make it wonderfully prosperous,
and gloriously bOuntiful, is an industri-
GUS, frugal population sufficient to sub
due the native forests, improve the old
fields which have been murdered by the
old system of careless labor, erect hun
Slreds of mills and factories on our rapid
streams, improve the roads, sow thous-
ands of acres of idle land in grass, raise
fine mules, horses and cattle, develop the
mineral wealth of the cOuntry, build up
good schools in every neighborhood, and
keep our young men at home. This is
all we need. Industry, economy and
contentment by our own population will
after while make EastssTcnnessee rich

Success is the need of excellence. The truth of
this has never been more forcibIy exemphfcd than
by the triumphant career of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, No sooner did the people discover the
genuine merits of that supreme invigorant and
corrective than they FASTENED to stamp it with the
seal of popularity. The press and medical pro-
fession speedily followed in the wake of the pub
lie, and emphatically endorsed it. Thus from the
very outset the success of the Bitters remedy
and preventive was established fact, and de-
gree of popularity which it often takes proprietary
medicines years to attain, achieved almost at
stride by the then preparation. Since that
time every successive year has witnessed fresh ac-
cessions to the favor with which the Bitters were
early regarded, and the of its popularity is
longer confined to the UuIted States, but includes

there is probably no proprietary remedy more

whisky of Blackwa.er to compete with,
and win venture to say, that if the IL
licit liquor traffic of Hancock county,
Tenn, and Lee county, Va, could be
kept down, two or three such distilleries
as Greene's could find a home market
for all the whisky they could make. The
large sums of money sent to other liquor
markets might better be kept at home
by distilling our own corn; besides, our
homemade mountain dew with the

Dir. Hamilton, in his report of the con-

no print in full if our limited space would
allow. He shows that expenditures for

Dear Siy-My wife first became lame
nine years ago. Swelling would appear
and disappear on her hip, and she was
gradually becoming reduced, and her
whole system rotten with disease. In
1871, a swelling broke on her hip, dis
charging large quantities, and since that
time there are several openings. Have
had five doctors, at an expense of $125,
who say nothing will do any good but a
surgical operation

has certainly received a great benefit
from the use of your Discovery, for she
was not able to get off the bed and was
not expected to live a week when she
commenced using it, a year ago She
has been doing most of her work for
