4 SCOT as o Fertilizer.

A good fertilizer for melons or vines
of any kind is found in SCOT. The
New York Times says:
"Soot from coal is rich in ammonia.
When coal is burned, ammonia is set
free with some of the nitrogen, which
probably forms compounds which de-
compose and produce ammonia In
the form of sulphite and carbonate.
Sulphate of ammonia is inodorous
and non,yolatile until brought into
contact with lime, which combines
with the sulphuric acid and sets the
ammonia free. Ills effect was pro-
duced when you mixed lime with the
SCOT. But combinations of ammon ia
are equally valuable as a fertilizer
as free ammonia, so that it is best to
use the SCOT without mixture. 1t may
be spread upon grass, wheat, or, in
fact, upon any crop, With marked BEN
eft. SCOT is q highly compound sab
stance. containing lime, sulphuric
acid, nitrogen, ammonia, magnesia,
pbosphoric acid, potash, acetic, acid
chlorine, and, iron all of these are val
liable. directly or indirectly, as fertil-
izers. 1A-h&t At ~. ~

THE KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE
And Weekly Wing and Chronicles
fnr 1890


During the coming Presidential
year, the DAILY CHRONICLE will
take an active part in the vigorous
discussions of all political issues
involved, and will, at the same
time, keep its readers fully posted
on oil the important events of the
day. 1t will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue
cess of the Republican ticket,
placing fidelity to the inter ests Of
that party above any personal aims
or privata ambition. To this end
it will favor the selection Of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearers in the coming canvass, and
when such are selected, it will do
everything reasonable to secure
their success. ..r
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
viii support no man for any Office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors of the State. 1t
will oppose the efforts of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infa-
nous schemes. r
The WING AND CHRONICLE will
be published weekly, as before, and
will be made up from the issues of
the DAILY CHRONICLE. 1t will con-
tain choice selection of miscella-
neous matter each week, together
with editorials, telegraph and local
matter. Especial attention will be
given its columns, and everything
that could be Objectionable in the
family circle will be carefully ex-
cluded. 1t will be the object of the
publishers to make it q welcome
visitor into the families of the
country.
Its market reports will be carefully
revised every Tuesday and made as
nearly perfect and reliable as pos
sible.
The Agricultural columns Of the
WHIa AND CHRONICLE shall receive
close attention, and will be i'm
proved all the time. In this depart
ment, the'yiews of practical farmers
on topics'of interest will be invited.
The proprietors Of these two old
and well established journals will
spare no pains to keep up and add
to their established reputation, and
are confident that they will make
them worth many times more than
the subscription price charged.

Not that Kind of n Gun

was buying shot aud getting ready to

around rather loose, and the grocer
nervously remarked:
Boy, l wish you'd take care Of that
gun-I'm afraid OF an accident

and went on telling how many rabbits
he meant to pepper, and pretty soon it
came near falling through the floor.

hurt some of US yet?' exclaimed the
grocer, as he jumped aside, and the
boy leaned it against the counter and
said he'd lever take back seat for a
