Insure Against Accidents.

We had a call yesterday from Alfred
Whitman, Esq special Agent for
Kentucky and Tennessee, of the
Travellers Insurance Company, of
Hartford, Connecticut, who is in the
city, in the interest of said Company,
and has established an agency at this
point. The Travellers is a general
Accident Insurance Company. 1t was
organized and commenced business in
April, 1864, and, after. over twelve
years of successful business now en-
joys the reputation of being the oldest,
largest and best as an accident in
surance company in the whole coun-
try.
Policies are issued to men of
every profession and occupation,
insuring against almost every possible
variety of accidents. The cost of a
policy, insuring $4,000 against fatal
accidents, or SIS per week for disabling
injury, is $25 per year to merchant,
banker or professional man $3.50 for
a commercial traveller, builder, book
binder, ETC.; $50 for carpenter or
blacksmith; and in that proportion
for greater or less amount.
1t specially recommends Itself to the
laboring classes, men whose pay stops
the moment they are disabled, and
who are always liable to accident of
some kind. The weekly indemnity
here offered is not obtalnable under
any ordinary Life Insurance policy.
The records of the company show
that one in every seventeen persons
insured under its General Accident
Policies, has been paid a claim for dis
abling injury or death by accident. 1t
has in twelve and half years written
435, 900 general accident policies, on
which it has paid 25 800 claims on &C
count of death or injury by accident,
thus disbursing over $3.50, 900 in cash
benefits to policy-boIders, and has
now solid cash assets of SIS, 900, 900, with
a surplus over all liabilities for the Sc
curity of policy~holders exceeding
81, 400, 900.
For further Information we would
refer the reader to their advertisement
to be found in an other column of this
issue. We have examined their sys-
tenn of insurance pretty closely and
feel warranted in recommending it as
superior to any we have ever investi-
gated,

DOL RAY NEW ROLE.
He shoots the JaIIer of Hancock
County.

County.
Our readers will remember that a
raid was made into Hancock county a
few weeks ago for the purpose of cap
turing some moon-shiners and
breaking up their illicit distilling OPP
erations. The biggest fish caught in
the net was one IDOL" Ray, char
acter somewhat notorious in that
country, and riDg-leader among the
violators of the Internal Revenue
laws. He was bold in his Illicit opera
tons and terror to law-abiding peo-
pie. He was arraigned before the
Federal Court, found guilty, as
charged, and sentenced to one
whole months mprisonment in
the Hancock county Jail, and to
pay the enormous ~ fine of one hun
dred dollars. He reported to an en-
pIoye of the jailer, and then went
home. The jailer, G. II. Rains, went
to his house last Thursday to arrest
him, but did not find him al home.
Returning to Sneedville Mr.. Rains
was waylaid and shot at several times.
He received a severe and very painful
wound in the wrist, and a slight
wound in the side, besides being shot
through his clothing in several places.
If the Court had made an example of
IDOL" and sent him to the peniten-
tiary a year or two, it would have
been a warning to others, and such
things as this would not have hap
peued. His punishment is farce.

A Coal Creek Committee,

Messrs. r. NJ. Brooks, Edward Dom

arrived in the city on the K. & o.
train yesterday. These gentlemen
constitute a committee, appointed by
the citizens and miners of that dis
trict, to confer with the authorities at
Nashville with regard to the con-
templated introduction of convict
labor in the mines. They found Mai.
O'Conner in the city and had a con-
ference with him yesterday on the
subject, but he, being only one of the
firm of lessees could not give them a
definite answer, and advised them to
proceed to Nashville. They left on
last nights train for that place for the
purpose of memorializing Gov. Porter
and also petitioning the lessees of the
penitentiary, protesting against the
bringing of convicts to work in the
Coal Greek mines.

The Course of True Love.

The Rome Sentinel illustrates the
adage about true love-" etc, by the
following lively story:
She came tripping from the church
door, her face flushed with emotions
awakened by the just uttered DISCOURSE
and her eyes bright with loving eXpec-
tatlon. lie shivered OIL the curbstone,
where for an hour he had waited m
patiently with a burning heart fairly
palpitating in his throat, and frozen
fingers in his pockets. They linked
arms and started for the residence OF
her parents.
After o few moments hestitating sill
ence, he said, 'Jane. we have known
each other long. You must know just
how | feel. You must see that clear
down at the bottom-Oh. Noses"
He had slipped down on the ice with
SO much force that his spine was driv-
en- up into his hat, and his hat was tlp>
ped over his nose But she was a tender
hearted girl; she did not laugh, but she
carefully helped him to his feet, and
said:
you were saying, John, when you
slipped, that the foundation-Oh, good
eeSS!i'
She slipped herself that time, and
saw little stars come down to dance be-
fore her eyes, but he pulled her up IN
haste and went on.

the bottom of my heart is n fervent
love, on which | build my hopes. That
love has helped mo stand face-IhW@'

He was down again, but scrambled

and she said breothlessly:
Eyes, yes, John. You remember
you lust said a love WHICH helped ,yor
stand and face thunder. And tina
you founded your hopes on-IhtS Pes
ky icer"
There she sat. John grasped the
loose part of her sacque, between The
shoulders, with one hand, and raised
her to her feet, as one would lift o kit
ten from Il pail of water by the back o
the neck. Then he said with increased
earnestness:
"Of course, darling, and / have long
ed for an opportunity to tell my love
and to hear those sweet lips whisper

Somehow Johns feet had slippe,
from under him, and he had com
down like q capital V with his hea
and feet pointing skyward. She twin

locks, and raised him to the stature {

IMPROVED EAGLE COTTON GINS,

The great popularity of the Eagle Cot
ton Gins is established from the we'll
known fact that they are the most reliable,
strongest and best built Cotton Gins ever
made. The Eagle Cotton Gin runs light
advantage for planters who wish to run by
horse power. All the numerous planters
who use the Eagle Cotton Gin will certify
to the fact that when their cotton is sent to
market it will always bring the highest
market price, as no other gin can produce
a finer or a better sample OF cotton than
the Eagle Cotton Gins. Over 1900 of
the Eagle Cotton Gins have been made and
sold. During a period of 20 years the IN
dersigned has had the agency of the Eagle
Cotton Gin in New Orleans. He has new
er had a gin returned or rejected out of the
immense number sold. The saw Cylinders
of all the Eagle Cotton Gins are twelve in
ches in diameter, which is two inches larg-
err than the most other kind of gins, thus
giving our forty-saw gin more teeth, and
they are more than equal to the ffty-saw
gins of other makers who use only ten inch
cylinders, and the same grea, advantage Of
the twelve inch cylinder in large-sizca gins
can be easily estimated.
Planters who wish a reliable Ca+
with ~ ~~.~Li+.l-4 can f@c
chase an Eagle Cotton Gin with a certainty
hat they are not making an nntried ex-
pertinent, but will obtain a Cotton Gin
which is endorsed by the oldest and largest
planters in the country a" the bes. in use.
a large stock of the Eagle Cotton Gins are
always kept on sale in New Orleans, ready
for immediate shipment. Planters should
be particular to state if they want right Or
left hand motion Gins.
The bale of cotton which received the
Grand Prize at St. Louis, and has won so
many thousands of dollars at numerous
Fairs, was ginned on the Eagle Cotton Gin.
Prices Have Been Greatly Reduced
