FEVER NOTES.

Not a single church was open in
Memphis Sunday.
Sixteen new cases and nine deaths
in Memphis yesterday.
Memphis had twenty-five new cases
and ten deaths Tuesday.
The collection for Gen. Hoods chill
dren is progressing at satisfactory
rate, it being liberal ali over the
country.
Z. q. Budd, Grand Master of the
Tennessee Odd Fellows, has called on
the brotherhood for aid for the MEM
bers in Memphis.
Memphis dispatches say that, not
withstanding the comparatively small
number Of cases, the mortality of the
whites is greater than it was last year
compared to the number sick.
Gen. Skefington died in Memphis
last Thursday. When we went to
press last week it was thought he was
cOnvalesent, but the nextmail brought
news of his death. He will be
mourned for by many friends all
over West Tennessee.
Jay Gould, the great railroad and
bank man of New York, has given
five thousand dollars to The Memphis
Towards, and tells them to continue
in their noble work; that if the gener-
Gus people throughout the conBtry fail
to respond to their appeal, he will foot
the bill. He asks what are their daily
expenses.
On the Sth, Monday, there were
twenty-five new cases and eleven
deaths in Memphis. Among the
deaths were W. J. Berlin, of the A.
y. u. w. and Vice President Of the
Knights of Honor relief board. He
also had policy of ten thousand dol
lars in the Connecticut Mutual, the
premiums on which was paid only five
minutes before the time run out for
its renewal.
The Memphis Towards have run
out of money, and now make an ap-
peal to the world for help. They have
done and are now doing a noble work
for suffering humanity, and our peo-
pie should help them when their dis
tress cry is heard. We have been
blessed with fine crops and good health
in this section. Let us now give a
thank offering to the distressed. Who
can refuse?

CITY VS. STOCK YARD.

Considerable interest has been man.
Tested during the past few days IN the
fight between the town authorities
and Messrs. Pearce q Holloway, who
are erecting a stock yard on the l.. q
n. road, about two hundred yards
east of Main street. After the work
had begun, the board Of aldermen,
on the recommendation fthe board of
health and petition of numerous citi-
zens, passed an ordinance declaring that
no stock yard should be erected within
one,fourth of mile of the center of
the town, which leaves the yards on
the Contra, road just outside the
"dead>line." Messrs. Pearae d Hol-
loway contend that they have right
to build, and that the ordinance is
unconstitutional, null and void. They
were arrested last Saturday, were
tried Monday and fined SD each,
when they took an appeal to the Law
Court. On Tuesday morning Messrs
Sam Clark and Monroe Reeves, two
of their workmen, were arrested while
unloading lumber at the yard, but
the corporation failed to make a case
against them and they were discharg.
ed. Mayor Ware says he will enforce
the ordinance until it is repealed, and
Messrs Pearce 81 Holloway say they
will build their pens and stables.
While numbers of our citizens are OPP
posed to the establishing of a yard so
near The business part of the town,
many think the board of. aldermen
have not acted fairly in the matter,
and that, if one yard is allowed inside
the corporation another should be.
If one is moved, the other ought to be
too. Another point made by the de-
fence was that the ordinance was not
legal, because it had not been pubs
lished in the town paper, as is re-
quired by the city laws. Of this, we
have nothing to say at present. We
learn that Messrs Clark and Reeves
will Immediately bring suit against
the mayor and aldermen and city
marshal for damages for false impris-
onment. The people are becoming
stirred up, and the acts of the board
are being freely criticized and cons
demned by many, some even wanting
a petition gvtten up for the board to
resign in body.
The board claims that the stock
yard is being built on public ground,
and not on railroad land, as Pearce u
Holloway think.

markabIe from the fact that all the
faculties of the deceased were perfect
up to the very moment of dissolution.
Oetavius C., Smith, deputy clerk

sincere sympathy of the writer of this,

DIR. JOHN BULLS
Smiths Tonic Syrup
FOR THE CURE OF
FEVER and AGUE
Or ChilIs and Fever.

The proprietor Of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for il a superiority over all renee
dies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN. SPEEDY, and PERMANENT
cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever,
whether Of short or long standing. He refers
t. the entire Western and Southern country to
bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will il fail to cure il
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In a great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure. if its use is continued in smaller
doses for n week or two after the disease has
been checked more especially in difficult and
long standing cases. Usually shis medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient. however, re-
quire a carthartic medicine, after having tax
en- three or four doses of the Tonic, a single
dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY Pills
will be sufficient.
