the same (the sash saw stops tlo5ce to make

is continuously. In sewing with shuttle

On meeting a friend the first inquiry
IS always regarding his health. Why?
Because health is of the first considera-
ton; yet many will sit in a cold, damp
theatre, regardless of weak lungs and
hacking cough. Discard some of the
ephemeral pleasures of the day, such as
theatre-going, cigar-smoking, &C., and
invest your small change in something
that will be of lasting benefit. For in
stance, Coussens' Compound Honey of
Tar costs only so cents, and will cure
your cough, cold, and all diseases of the
Throat and Lungs. Try it.

MAJ. PETTIBONE, if we remember
his speech Alright made in Rogers
Vile in the fall of 1876, boosted that
United STATES bonds were worth
premium in gold. In this statement
the Major was, we believe correct.
Bonds at that time were worth q
premium. They are also worth a
premium at the present time. H.
deed, United States bonds are more
desirable than any other species of
property. 1t is reasonable that they
should be. The interest is paid on
them every six months in gold.
They are supposed to be entirely
secure and their final payment GER
tain. The holder pays no tax what
ever. No other property in the
country is so favored. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that those having
money invest it in bonds.
How is it with the land owners?
Are your lands, fellow-citiaena,
worth premium? Are they worth
as much as they were ten years ago?
Can you, in fact, sell your land for
cash at any price3 Does net the tax
collector call on you annually for
taxes on what is supposed to be the
value of your real estate? Are you
land holders getting rich? Have
you money enough even to meet the
demands OF the tax collector! What
is your wheat worth? your corn, oats.
hay, bacon. lard, hogs, cattle, mules,
horses, sheep? Are not all these
things down 10 starvation pFieesf
Yes, you know they are. And what
has caused you to be in this condi.
ton? Why the very effort of the
Government TO enhance the value of
bonds and to make money scarce
has enriched the bond-holder and
made you poor. That has been the
policy OF Maj. Petitioners party all
the time. The National debt Is to
DO used for the purpose Of building
up Monied Aristocracy in our land.
sAfcIass or favored rich men are TO
be built up and fosteredi a class
who do no labor and pay no taxes,
while the farmers and mechanics Of
the country are TO labor day In and
day out to support them in idleness,
luxury and splehdor.
We do not believe the American
people are ready TO support an Arts.

The Rev. e. W. Meany, of Tallahas-
see, Fla, called Mrs. Bond an apostate
because she withdrew from the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church and Joined the
Reformed Episcopalians. DR.. Bond,
her husband, thought that she had been
insulted, and for revenge whipped Mr..
Meany in the street. The clergyman
acted the part of a man of peace, aud
would not retaliate, but his brother,
Col. Meany, sent letter to DIR. Bond,
calling him cowardly dog, and invi
ting him to settle the difficulty in
duel. One day, in the midst, of the
controversy, the Colonel and the Doc
tor met in the street. They promptly
drew revolvers. Up to this time, they
had met the requirements of pluck but
with the muzzles of weapons ia their
faces, their courage oozed away. Each
lodged behind a tree Several wild
shots were fired, and one bullet hit a

Gen. John F. Taliaferro, once promi-

years an inmate of the iunatic asylum
at Williamsburg, Va, got into a dispute
a few days ago with Newton Cunning
ham, fellow patient, about a flying
machine, upon which the latter had
been at work for nine years and lost his
money and his mind. The General
contended that it would never fly, and
Cunningham seized heavy spoke from
one of the wheels of the flying machine
and struck Gen. Taliaferro fearful
blow on the skull, smashing it in and
killing him instantly. The General was
eighty years old.

At the recent election in Hancock

At the recent election in Hancock
county there were three candidates
for County Court Clerk, towit !:
VIM. ii. Smith, r. D. Greene and
James d. Greene. The returns
showed that w. H. Smith was elect
ed by four majority over r. D.
Greene, the next highest candidate.
Greene contested the election and
the case was tried before the County
Court at Sneedville last Monday.
r. d. Greene is a Republican. A
majority Of the magistrates Of that
county are also Republicans. I'm
der these circumstances Smiths case
was a hopeless one from the begin
ming. There were two men named
Greene running for the same Office,
and it was discovered by the Judges
OF the election that ballots had been
cast simply for Greene" without
designating which one. The
Judges very properly threw out all
such ballots as blanks, and this elect
ed Smith. The Court permitted
men to come in and swear that they
were the persons who deposited the
"Greene" ballots, and that they
meant to vote for r. d. Greene, and
upon this sort of proof the wise and
patriotic body Of Radical Justices
excluded the man who had been
elected on the face Of the returns
and swore Mr.. II. ID. Greene into
Office. 1t was another Returning
Board affair. The Court stood IL
to 3, and so voted all the time. The
case has been appealed to the Cir
cult Court. That is also Radical
tribunal now, and we judge will, of
course. confirm the proceedings be-
low. The Supreme Court will have
to decide who is legally elected.

The Stepping Stone to Health

The acquisition of vital energy is the stepping
stone to health. When the system lacks vita lity,
the various organs flag in their duty, become
chronically Irregular, and disease is eventually in
st1tuted. To prevent this unhappy s-ate of things,
the deblEtated system should be built up by the
use OF tha9 inimitable tonic, Hostetter's stomach
Bitters which invgorates the digestive organs and
insures the thorough conversion of food into blood
of nurishing quality, from whence every mrlscls,
nerve ana fiber acquire unWonted supplies of yigor
and the whole system experiences the beneficial eff
feet. Appetite returns the system is refreshed by
heaIthful slumber, the nerves grow strong and
calm, the dependency begotten of chronic indiges
tion and an uncertain state of health disappears,
and that sallow appearance of the skin peculiar to
energy, is replaced by a more becoming tinge.
