Shot and KIAed.-A young man by
the name of Martin was shot and
killed in Johnson county, Tenn, last
Friday night. He was at the house
of neighbor by the name of Harri
son Osborne, when the latter commit
ted the deed. Martin was picking
banjo at the time, and the bullet, it is
stated, passed through the head of the
banjo into his heart. There had been
misunderstanding between Osborne
and Martins father, which, it is sup
posed, was the cause of the shooting.
No one was present but the parties
and Osborne'S wife. Osborne made
his escape, and his wife claims that
the shooting was accidental. Bristol

Some three weeks ago Messrs. Ian
drum & Litchfeld donated several
hundred dollars worth of their cele-
brated Seven Springs Alum Mass for
the benefit of the Yellow Fever suffer

Howard Association at Holly Springs,
Mississippi
HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS, !

MeSSrS. L0ndy7t'n C. Litchfeld,
abingdon. Virginia.,
GENTLEMEN:
Please accept our thanks for your case of
Seven Spring "Iron and Alum Mass, re-
ceived some days agt. Quite a number of
our citizens are using it with good results.
Respectfully,
W. J. L. HOLLAND,
President Howard Association.
AT last it seems that remedy is dis
covered to check this fearful disease.
Messrs. Lankrum &c Litchfield are
shippin large quantities of this val
liable medicine to the South.
REMARKS:
The times may be considered hard, and
money scarce, but few dollars invested
for the 'Seven Springs" "Iron 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. A 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.0O per bottle-sent
post-poid to any post Office. This Mass is
for sale by BUNTING & PEPPER, and j. A.
DICKEY & Co, Bristol, Tenn, and by near
ly all regular Druggist, but if the Druggist
nearest you does not keep it, send to Lam
drum Litchfeld, Abingdon, Va, kand yOr
will certainly get it for the price.

OBITUARY..
VIII Eddie WdteT9ld1

WILL EDDIE WATERMAN was born
November 2, 1870, and died October
IS, 1878 aged seven years, eleven
months and sixteen days. He was
the eldest child of A. P. and l. J.
Waterman, of Washington county,
Va. He was the frst-born, the only
son and the idol of his parents. He
was in early life dedicated to God, in
infant baptism, and instructed in the
principles of our holy religion. This
discharge of parental duty was not
without its divinely promised effect.
During his life, and through the sick
ness which carried him off-frst dip
liberia, then dropsy-he gave COM
Portable evidence that he was the sub
ject of the saving power of the Cos
pei. His mind seemed much swayed
by the attractions of heaven to which
he was approaching and, although
clinging fondly to his parents, not
being willing that they should be for
a moment out Of his sight, he betray-
ed the fact he was viewing from Pts
gah the spiritual Canaan. He seemed
once to realize the presence of his
glorifed grandfather. He spake at
times of the beautiful angels and
the glittering crowns. Once, when
he saw his mother in trouble, he said;
81 wish we were all in heaven. -
Well, he is there. Let not his pa
rents weep as those who have no hope.
Let them, rather, joyfully anticipate
that, though the child cannot return
to them, they can go to it, and, by
bringing up their remaining children
in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord, may fnlfll VIII Eddie's wish.

who manifcsts such an ardent desirust, en-
courage the cultivation Of oysters for tie
benefit of the people, rely for vindicatonoof
the merits of the bill upon full and public
discussion in the Legislature OF its various
provisions? 1t ID d most unheard Of thing for
even the most patriotic legislators to Gircu-
late anonymous pamphlets in support OF
measures designed solely for tho public good.
That sort Of thing is never resorted
to except for the furthorance Of private and
selfish interests. III this measure were really
prompted solely by the necessity Of some law
to encourage the reproduction Of oysters to
meet the rapidly increasing demand" and a
sincere apprehension that unless something Is
done for the encouragement Of this industry
"the oyster will soon cease TO exist on the coast
OF louisiana the author of this pamphlet
would not have hestated to sign bis name toit.
We do not propose to discuss the details Of
this bill. We are content to leave the matter
as IL stands. with the Governors veto mes
sage confronting its dangerous provisions.
We showed yesterday that the Governor had
clearly pointed out the nature of the monop-
oily it sought to impose, and the injury IL
would work to n class Of hardy and indus
tllous citizens. We are not prepared to deny
that there Ia a legitimate demand for n better
regulation and encouragement Of the cultiva-
ton Of oysters in this State than existing laws
afford. We arc informed that bill for that
purpose is now pending in the Legislature,
but its provisions are very different from
those Of the bill undor discussion, under
which, as we learn from "Yorktowns' pam
phlet itself. an expenditure Of 100000 would
suffice to secure monopoly Of the oyster
trade of tho State. The bill is indefensiblc;
the vigilance of the Governor has detected
and exposed its improper and dangerous fea-
lures, and his veto will, we hope, be sustained

THE OYSTER BILL.

We find on our table . pam phlet, signed
yorktown" criticising thcaction Of the Gov
crnor in vetoing the oyster BILL and intended
Legislature This is the first instance within
our knowledge Of such a bold attempt to
prejudice the mies of legislators agaiet Il
Governors veto message. and it is enough to
convert into a certainty TIA suspicion we OK
pressed yesterday that the bill in question
,onceals a Job of huge proportions. The
consatut0l Of louisiana, like those of all
other States Of the Union. confers upon the
Governor, t. a certain exist, the power Ct
legislation aud fastens upon him a part of the
responsibility FOR all laws that are enacted
by the LegislaturS It is his duty to scruti-
nizc all bills that arc submitted to him for his
approval and we knoS of no act in legislation
that implies so much elaboration and earnest
reflection as a veto message. 1t is evident
therefore, that when a Governor returns to a
Legislature OIL which it has passed, and ac-
companies it with message giving his rea-
sons for Disappearing such message is
entitled to the highest respect and to as fair
and impartial consideration as that which
he haOsiveo to the bill, and it seems to us in
the highesS degree improper for any
one to circulate among the Numbers of
the Legislature, in advance of the considera
ton Of a veto message, an anonymous pam
phlet like the one in question: designed to
forostall the Judgment and prejudice the
minds Of legislators against the message.
Why gould rot the author Of this pamphlet,
