Sale Of the Fair GroundS.-TEe
grounds of the Va. & Tenn. Border
Fair Association were knocked off last
Saturday week to Mr.. Samuel Stone
at 1900. This will not effect in any
way the success of the Fair this fall.

extra exertion to have an unusually
good exhibition. The Centennial is
past and will never return to any Of

hard work ahead, and we must stop

Yours very truly,
r. w. JON ELS, President.

The times may be considered hard, and
money scarce, but n few dollars invested
for the "Seyen Springs" "lron and Alum
Mass" are worth $40 to every one thus
spent to any person who is not perfectly
well and hearty. There are persons that
would give $40 bottle rather than be
without it. gentleman in Mississippi
says he would give 500 for single bottle
if he could not obtain it for less. The re-
tail price is only sl.00 per bottle-sent
pos'-poid to any post office. This Mass is
for sale by BUSTING s. PEPPER, and J. A.
DICKEY & Co., Bristol, Tenn, and by near

He Was A WIDowER.-Thec cars were
running through deep cut, whose rocky
walls re-echoed the noise OF the train
with startling effect. A pale, detected
looking man sat by an open window,
through which came the deafening roar.
A lady on the next seat expressed her
dislike of the noise in such terms, that
gentleman requested the pale man to
lower his window. This the pale man
refused to do, and sat drinking in the
confusion of sounds with an expression
of great satisfaction. AS soon as the
cars stopped the passengers expressed
their contempt for the pale man for his
rudeness. The pale man stood up in
his seat and said: Gentlemen, don't
want you to think me hog; but I've
been married for eleven years, and last
month my wife died. I've lived terri
