The Rressing OF strong Nsrrss

Is recoverable. not by the use of mineral scda
tivss, but By a recourse to effsct1li toDc treat
ment. 0patei and the like should only be used
as auxiliariries and then spariE gly as posi-
bic. Vigorous nerves are quit ones, and the
most direct way to render them so is to reinforce
the vital eneIg es. That sterling invigorant
Hcstetter's Stoma,h Bltters, will be found ali
sufficient for this purpose, since it entirely re-
moves impe ailments to thorough digestion and
assimilation of the food, SO that the body is il
sured its Guesamount of nourish ment, and con-
sequently of stamina. Rheumatic tendencies
and affections o. the Kidneys and bladder are
also counteracted by the Bitter, which is besides
pleasant medicinal s.imulant, infinitely purer
than the raw exciants of commerce. which Iea~t

Meeting of Farmers I'm thIs ity on
the Subject.
Pursuant to publication heretofore
made through the press, meeting OF
the farmers of Knox county wasaheld
at the court house at noon yesterday
to take steps towards organizing fair
in Knox county, reviving the Eastern
Division Fair, or something of the
| kind.
The meeti ng was called TO order by
Col. c. W. Charlton. Mr.. Robert
Keller was chosen Chairman, and
Messrs. w. c. Walker and John
Sterchi, Secretaries.
Col. Charlton made some remarks
explanatory OF the objects of the
meeting, and favored the organi-
cation of Knox county fair,
and not the Eastern Division Fair.
He explained that the old fair
ground property was partly owned by
Col. Hugh Martin. and the use could
probably be had, but he learned that
Col. Martin was negotiating a sale
thereof. Hence he would favor the
fixing up of The rest OF the ground be-
longing to the State, which will be
amply sufficient, by erecting buildings,
etc. He favored the idea Of the farm
ers of the county taking the matter
in hand, and he thought sufficient
sum OF money could be raised in
Knoxville TO erect buildings and put
the grounds in shape.
On motion Of Col. Charlton, after
remarks of Esqs. Conner snd Smith,
and others, the following gentlemen
appointed a committee to take into
consideration the entire subject Of Sc
curing grounds and taking steps to-
wards organizing a fair and to report
To an adjourned meeting of this con-
vent ton on Saturday, 18th inst, w.
A. A. Conner, John Sterchi, w. B.

and Oh motion Of Esq w. 5. Smith,
the chairman, Robt. Keller was added.
Geo. w. Mabry, Esq mAdsi some
counselling the farmers to
bury the Ratchet and cease their abuse
OF the Knoxville people. for he knew
that they (the Knox illians) have
done more than their share in the
work of building up and sustaining
fairs, etc. He admonished the farm
eTs to 20 to work ia earnest in this
matter and make it a success.
No Other business, the meeting ad
inururd till Saturday 17ih. Inst, at 10

A Jefferson County Ci.iz,n KnI,G

Joseph c. French, whose home was
in Jefferscn county, near New Mar
ket, and who has been railToading on
the Nashville and Chattanooga Rail
road for some years, was shot and
killed at JOhnsonville last Thursday,
by Wash. Beavers. The two had
quarreled over a game of cards the
night before, when French won Bsav-
ers' money. Beavers made the attack,
and they both having revolvers,
snapped at each other. Beavers was
too quick the next time, aud killed his
man. He is still at Large. The Nash
vile american says of the dead man
French was born in Jefferson CONN.,
~, of which he was for two years the
clerk. He is said TO have been q clerk
for Governor BrOwn!ow during the
latter's administration, and served SIS
policeman with officer Virgins, who
was also murdered, last Su ndsy night,
at Chattanooga, during the yellow
fever epidemic at that point. He had
been on the railroad for about five
years. Ae was a man of good edUca-
ton, and was very popular with rail-
rad men all along the line. He was
generous TO fault, and would always
divide with any one in need.
