about a candidate for Circuit Judge,
who went to see an old farmer ia
Washington county, ostensibiy to
talk about lime. Tt was Judge
Mckinney, we guess The Judge
knows all about lime. His father
used to own a lanyard, and tanned
a great many hides. When the Judge
was boy he staid about the tan
yard q good deal, and, there it was
he learned that lime was used In
tanning hides. The tougher and
thicker q hide was the more lime it
took to make the hair slip. Now it
so happens in the course Of human
events. that Judge Mckinney will
have several tough cid hides to tan
next summer, and as a prudent, sem
sible man, he is Of course looking
out for the necessary material to do
the job well. And this accounts
for his visit to the old farmer at

A "Chief Supervisor of Elec-
ton" Appointed for East
Tennessee.
From the Knoxville Chronicle

1
On Monday, as noticed in our issue OF
yesterday, under the United States
Court proceedings, Judge Baxter apoint-
| ed Lewis Tilman, Jr., Esq, of this city,
Chief Supervisor of Elections for Eas-
tern District of Tennessee. This is an
office created by an act of Congress pass
ed in February, 1871, and is filed by
Judge Baxter by appointment from the
| Circuit Court Commissioners of this jul
dicial district, in pursuance of the 18th
section of said act. (Rv. Stat. 2025.)
1t is made the duty of the Chief Super
visor to prepare and furnish all necessa-
ry books, forms, ETC., to the supervisors
of election in the several cities and
towns in his district, and to receive the
applications of all parties for appoint
ment to such positions and present the
same to the Judge of the Circuit Court,
and furnish to him Information con-
corning applicants, etc. He has various
other duties prescribed in reference to
the election of Representatives or Dele
gates in Congress. While the office is
an important one in some districts, and
while it is well enough to have a good
man in it, yet Mr. TilmaL is not likely
to have any duty to perform. He ex-
presses the hope and the belief that his
Office will be ga title and nothing
more" t
Before supervisors can be appointed
in any Congressional District of East
Tennessee at least ten citizens thereofof
good standing shall make known, in
writing, to the Judge of the United
States Circuit Chourt their desire to
have the election for Representative
guarded and scrutinized, and if this APP
plication be made ten days prior to the
election the Judge shall open the court
at the most convenient point in the cir
cult, and proceed to appoint and COM
mission from day to day, for each vot-
ing precinct in the Congressional Dis
trict, two resident citizens of different
political parties, and able to read and
write the English language, who shall
be known as Supervisors of Election.
As we never expect to have any need
for such officers, it is not necessary to
state what their duties would be, but
anyone who is curious may ascertain
by reference to page 2,016 of United
States Revised Slatutes,

daily adding to its already Justly won
celebrity. From all sections of the

accounts of its great efficacy. 1t has
been used with the most satisfactory
results by great number of our citizens,
for various diseases, such as Soar Throat,
Erysipelas, Dyspepsia and variety of
chronic affections. Nearly every one
who has tried it, speak of it as wonder
full specific. As for my own experience,
can truly say, that I have never found
such a speedy and effective remedy for
diserdered stomach and Sick Headache.
If properly used it will certainly relieve
these unpleasant complaints in an as

lures. we can confidently recommend
its use to any who may be afflicted as
safe and reliable family medicine.

Christian Advocate and Mem
bers Generally of the MI. e.
Church. Snnth-G


When, four years ago, we took charge
of the financial interests of this paper,
we need not say to those well-informed
on this subject, that the prospect
was disheartening, Under manage
ment whose fidelity and ability we have
no right or disposition to question, 1t
was yet the fact that the paper had fail
ed to pay. To-day, however, though
the country has been passing through
one of the most gloomy and generally
disastrous of all the money crises it has
ever witnessed, and still feels its par
alyzing effects, we are happy to an
nounce that the AdUOcGte stands on the
proud and happy eminence of self-sup-
port. From day to day and from week
TO week, its subscription list has been
steadily growing. To illustrate, the net
gain within the last twelve menths has
been 20 48-1O0 per cent. This is as it
should be, and is ineXpressibly crafty
ing to US. The editorial management
has been an unqualified success, as is
shown in the steady growth of patron
age. But, excellent as it has been and
is, it will be, from time to time, yet fur.
ther enlarged and improved. We have
engaged, as representing largely the
sentiment and thought of the Southwest,
the services of Rev. III. V. Philpott,
who will from this time be added to the
editorial corps of the Adgocate, and this
will doubtless elicit a generous addition
to the support of the paper from that
whole section of the country.
The editorial corps will consist of
Rev. d. r. McAnally, d. D., Editor in
chief; Revs. A. G. Haygood, Eugene R.
and A. V. Philpott, Associ-
ates.
In conclusion, we tender hearty
thanks to all the friends of the Adcocate
in the past, and solicit continuance of
their efficient labors for it's support.
Let each of the present subscribers send
US another name as New Years pre-
sent, and ours will be indeed, as we de-
voutly hope theirs may be, grateful
and happy New Year.
