A Tramp Marries a 100000
Widow.


A short time ago there appeared
in Dechard, Franklin county,
Tenn., a tramp, who represented
himself MS being an immigrant
from Newport, bearing the name
of Thomos M. Shepherd, and a
painter by trade. He was en-
ployed on several jobs of painting
in the neighbornood. A Mrs.
Williams, a wealthy widow, en-
ployed Shepherd to paint house
for her, and while il her employ
he won the fair lady's heart, and
in addition thereto her hand.
Much to the surprise of every
body, the two were married. As
soon as the ceremony was per-
formed, the gossip moDgers of De-
ehard began to talk, and many and
various were the rumors that
foated through the little town
about the rich widow marrying
tramp. In Dechard resides ply
sician named Thomas Shepherd.
A letter was sent few days ago
to the tramp Shepherd from Mr..
James Pagan, of Newport. The
letter. after mentioning some other
matters, went on to tell that Shep-
herds wife and family, who live in
Dayton, KY, were well. and that
Mrs. Shepherd had considerable
difficulty in supporting the chill
dren. BY mistake the letter, when
it arrived in Dechard, was pat in
DIR. Shepherds box. The doctor,
thinking it was for him, opened
it, but was unable to understand
it until the marriage OF Mrs. Will
liams and the Newport Shepherd,
when the mystery was solved. The
doctor put it in the hands OF Mrs.
Williams's friends, and to them it
appeared that Mr.. Shepherd was
gully OF bigamy. They had him
arrested and taken to Winchester,
Tenn, In Newport they found that
Mary r. Shepherd, the wife of
Thomas M. Shepherd, had OBJ
tained a decree of divorce from
him on the 3d OF October, 1874 on
the ground of drunkenness aud
inbuman treatment. A telegram
was Immediately sont to Winehes-
ter, whereupon Shepherd was dis
charged. When he was arrested
he stated that he had been mar
ried and had children living. It
is evident that he has captured the
heart OF Mrs. Williams, for she
has stuck TO him during all of his

Catching the Train.

I was in Franklin but very short

(carry stove legs in it to keep it from
flying up over the housetops like a bal

away from pleasant little circle of
friends and perhaps I didn't pick up my
feet about 800 times a minute! Started
the wrong way and would have been in
Cincinnati in twenty minutesif a commit
teeman hadn't caught me and turned
me around. Dashed down an alley to
make short cut to the depot and fell
over two-horse wagon, collided with

power. Agonized committeeman shout

Signs.

People who still adhere to the lookat-your'
tongue-and feel-of-youf~pulse doctor some
times eS press not little curiosity in regard
to Dr. R. V. Pierce's original method of dis.
tinguishing all forms of chronic disease with.
out personal consultation. Some even sup
pose that he accompiishes this through
clairvoyance, or some other species of pro-
fessional jugglery. All this is utterly false.
He claims to determine disease by the ration,
al methods of science only. Says Comley, in
his Biographical Encyclopedia of New York
stote, speaking of this distinguished physi
clan: He perceived that in each of the
natural sciences the investigator proceeds
according to system Of signs. The geologist
is his cabinet accurately determines and
describes the cleft of rock, which he has
never seen, from the minute specimen on
his table. And the chemist in his laboratory
notes the constituents of the sun with the
some precision that he analyses crystal OF
rock salt. The analogous system developed
| by Dr. Pierce in Medical Science is worthy
of his genius. and has made his name justly
celebrated" For full explanation of this
ingenious system of diagnosis, see the Peo'

Deal Gently with the Stomach.

Do not rack it with violent purgatives, or
permanently impair it's tone with indigestible
drugs of any kind: but, if your digestion is
impaired, your liver out of order, your frame
debilitated, or nervous system unstrung, use
tina, wholesome and agreeable alternative and
tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which will
certainly afford you the desired reliet. None
of the oficinal remedies can compare with 1t
in restorative efficacy, and as medicinal
stimulant ii is by far the most desirable as
well as popular article of its class. Its basis,
the essential principle of sound rye, is the
best possible agent for fastening the action
of the botanic ingredients which it holds in
solution, and those ingredients are the most
efficacious which chemistry extracts from the
vegetable kingdom, and medical science
applies to the cure of disease.
