The telegraph reports the defeat
of the Grand Duke Nicholas with a
loss of 10000 men at Tirnova, and
the bridge of Sistova, by which the
Russians south of the Danube were
entirely victualed daily, IL reported
burned by two Turkish monitors.
The Russians have been defeated in
every undertaking in Asia Minor.
The Turks are jubilant, though it is
only a question of time as to their
complete defeat. The Cowrier-Jour-
nat says.
The Russian advance is now re-
ported to have passed the Balkans,
and is at the town of Jeni Saghra,
near the Jamboli and Adrianople
railroad, twenty miles southeast of
the Schibka pass, where an engage
ment is expected. This indicates
a rapidity of movement unusual to
the Muscovites, and is dangerous
one considering the report Of the re-
occupation of Tirnova, far in the
rear of the advance.
From the latest from the Asiatic
seat of war, the Russians seem dis
posed to remain IN Armenia
Mukhtar Pasha is at Kars with
40, 600 men, at long distance from
his base of supplies, and liable to
the same difficulties which before
caused him to retreat to the Suo-
ganlou mountain defiles. The Rus
SLAMS have not backed out of Ar
menia, but are in positions, as will
be seen by the dispatches, to cut off
NJ ukhtar from Erzeroum, as they
almost succeeded in doing a few
weeks ago. The unreliable char
acter of the dispatches from Ar
menia, however, suggests that even
the London summary of the situa-
ton may be entirely manufactured |
in that city.
The great battle" in Bulgaria has
not materialized. The only impor-
tan {. Information this morning it that |
the Russians have cut the Varna
and Rustchuck railroad, near Ras-
grad, about twenty five miles suth-
east of Rustchuck. and fifty or sixty |
miles northwest OF Shumla. The |
Russian lines appear, then, to be
advanced south, as far as Gabrova,
and east to Osman Bazaar and Ras-
grad on the line of the quadrilaters
Il. If the Turks mean to fight
battle Oh the open field, thia would
appear to be their opportunity.
rhey have doubtless greatly multi
Piled their forces during the past
'ew weeks, having every facility, by
water from Constantinople to and
rom Varna by rail to Shumla. Won
Moltke, in his description of the
present seat of war, says that the
Iabrova or Schibka Pass can be
orced without any difficulty, and
hat is the direction in which the
Russians have gone. Diebi,sch In
1923 had to fight a battle near
Shumla before he could proceed by
he Pravadi Pass to Adrianople, and
he Russians will undoubtedly have
o do the same thing. They are re-
'orted to have been driven out of
rirnova yesterday by the Turks,
nd this, if true, may be the COM
nencement OF an aggressive move
lent on the part of Abdul Kerim.

False Imnression.

Parties who claim to have the right to
make the medicine discovered by DR..
A. Q. Simmons are attempting to sus-
tain warning reputation by attacking
the Original and Genuine preparation.
In 1856 DR.. Simmons gave the original
receipt and right to make his Liver
Medicine to his son-in-law, j. Ii. Thed-
ford, now living near Chattanooga, Ten
nessee We make the original and only
genuine DR.. a. Q. Simmons Liver Med
icine from this receipt. Every genuine
package of the medicine is enclosed in
a yellow wrapper, on which is like
ness of DIR. A. Q. Simmons, which we
have registered in the Patent Office as

sale by all our Druggists, with whom
we have also left some trial packages to
be given away to all applicants.

What the Bilious Require.

Since torpidity of the liver is the
chief cause of its disorder, it is evident
that what the bilious require is an alter
alive stimulant which will arouse it to
activity, an effect that is followed by
the disappearance of the various symp-
toms Indicative of its derangement.-
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Invariably
achieve the primary result mentioned,
besides removing the constipation, fla
tulence, heart burn, yellowness OF the
skin and whites of the eyes, pain in the
right side and under the right shoulder,
nausea, vertigo and sick headache, to
which bilious invalids are peculiarly
subject. As remedy for chronic indi-
gestion, mental dependency and ner-
vousness the Bitters are equally effica-
cious, and as a renovant ofiost vigor, a
means of arresting premature decay,
and source of relief from the infirmi-
ties to which the gentler sex is peculi-
arly subject, they may be thoroughly
relied on. iuly5-lm

A few years ago "August Flower"
was discovered TO be a certain cure for
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint; few
thin Dyspeptics made known to their
friends how easily and quickly they
had been cured by its use. The great

came heralded through the country by
one sufferer to another, until, without
advertising, its sale has become i'm

1ouIsIANA's EXCITEMENT.
Why the Members Of the Returning
Board Were Indicted-Stst
ment by the Foreman f
the Grand jury.
by Telegraph to the New Yort Herald.

by Telegraph to the New York Herald.
New ORLEANS, July 11.-The ex-
element relative to the indicted
members of the Returning Board
still continues. Pitkin having sta
ted that the Grand Jary which
found the bills were entirely Demo
cratic, Foreman O'Briei states that
there were only four Democratic
members out of sixteen; of the 9TH
er twelve, four were negroes and
the others Conservatives and Liber-
ais. He also states that the action
was taken entirely on their own vo-
lition, and no prominent politicians
appeared before the jury until sum-
moned as witnesses. Among these
were Green, the ex Secretary of the
Board; Blanchard, the exI State Reg
istrar of Voters, and several regis
trars and clerks who hal been con
nected with the manipulation.
He also states that thsre is plenty
of testimony, not only fom witness
es but from documentary evidence,
DC, to convict the Returning Board
not only of fraud but ofperjury, and
of altering public duaments, each
of which are penitenfary offences.
This testimony is also stated to be
very damaging to Other prominent
persons outside of the State.
The Vernon parish returns, upon
which the indictment was found, and
which bear undoubted evidences of
having been tempered with, are in
possession of the Court and will be
kept as evidence. These are the
returns also which, it is stated, the
visiting statesmen advised on.
Foreman O'Bhen, of the Grand
Jury, says that indictments were not
founded upon political grounds, but
upon evident violations of law,
which they were bound to notice,
and though the matter may be
laughed at by Northern politicians,
full proof will be had TO sustain, not
only these indictments, but others
in higher quarters.

Says the New York Graphic: So
far we have enjoyed our boasts of
our increasing beef trade with Eng
land. But no rose is without its
thorn. A dismal wall is commenc-
ed to be heard at home. Onr own
prime JOINTS and -oasts are given
out, and even now are difficult to
procure. Only the best cattle are
shipped to England. None go I'M
der fourteen hundred pounds
weight. Forty-fve thousand of
such cattle have already crossed the
Atlantic. John Bull is literally tax
ing the fat of our land and leaving
US only the lean, and ''the trade is
only in its infancy"

SCHEDULE.

The attitude Of the administra-
ton at Washington upon all qnes.
tions affecting the general welfare
of the country is simply democratic,
and as such, calls for the warm com
mendation of the people. The Pres
idenfs course thus far has met the
appreciation of honest men every
where, not because it is Hayes who
it accomplishing it, but because
what he does is right and the right
is being done. The people of the
democracy accord Hayes nothing.
They will never forget and cannot
condone the offense Of his party,
in which he was principal oIehder,
and while they spurn him and his
party, they nevertheless can APP
plaud an act of justice, no matter
by whom committed Hayes is
President by fraud-the world
knows it and no man dare deny it
---and his party is the most corrupt
that ever had existence in our his
tory as a republic. He is the crea-
ture of that party, and when he
dares to lift his hand against its
mandates and do an act of right, we
who have been so grossly wronged
can afford to accept its benefits and
applaud the deed without praising
the man or compromising ourselves
as democrats. His latest innova.
ton upon the established creed Of
his party is worthy to be applauded,
for it is carrying out reform that
will more than anything else assist
in bringing the government back to
honest ways. Federal officials must
not interfere in politics. This will |
break up the corrupt and filthy or
CARNATIONS in many places where
there arc no republicans except of !
fee holders and negroes. Hayes is
breaking up his own party and his
new party is gathering strength
like a crab advances. The democ
racy is gaining ground every day
and all his efforts to disestablish it |
are unavailing. The country is
learning some of the benefits of
democratic rule, and it will be ready
and anxious to give that grand
party full sway at the next election
and to bury in everlasting oblivion
the party of hating marplots and
intriguing rogars who have brought
such discredit upon the administra-
ton just defunct. We applaud
Hayes policy, and we would kick
Hayes out if VIC could.

him a visit on Sunday, a step which

Annual Stock Sales.

A movement is now on foot to es-
tablish annual stock sales for Giles
county. The enterprise is in the
hands of men who seldom fail. AL
ready a liberal subscription has
been obtained, and papers are in
circulation throughout the county
obtaining more names. The shares
are only $40 each, and every stock
man in Giles, no matter how small
a breeder, can afford to take from
one To ten shares. The object first
is to purchase suitable grounds, and
if possible erect suitable improve
ments at once, but TO pay cash for
everything and go in debt for moth
ing. 1t is said that very suitable
grounds, situated on the railroad
track and on the banks of Richland
just west of the depot can be pur-
chased at very reasonable rates.
When sufficient stock has been sub
scribed to make purchase, an or
ganization will be effected. We
need not say much in appreciation
of this movement to people so in
telligent as our readers. There are
very few enterprises which accord
ing to the capital required could be
made to contribute more to the i'm
provement of stock, TO the wealth
of stock raisers, to the prosperity
of Giles, and TO the growth of Pu-
laski than this, and we are sure il
will meet the unanimous approba-
tion and encouragement of our peo-
pie. When the grounds have been
purchased and the improvements
made necessary for the stock sales,
there viii be no reason why annual
fairs may not also be held, and in
deed the ultimate design is to inau-
gurate a Fair association also.
