How WATCHES nre Made.

1t viii be apparent to any one, who
will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, a large proper
ton of the precious metal used, is need
cd only to stilfen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the necGs-
sary sOlidity and strength. The surplus
gold Is actually needless so far as UTIL-
ITY and beauty are concerned. In JAS.
BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CA
SES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME sOLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from One-third
to Ouc-half Of the usual cost of solid
cases. This process is Of the NEST sim
pie nature, as follows: plate Of nickle
composition metal, especially adapted
to the purpose, has two plates of SOLID
GOLD sOldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers, and the result is a strip of
heavy plated composition, from which
the cases, backs, ccnters, bczels, etc.
are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold IN these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit Of all kinds
OF chasing, engraving and cnameling (;
the engraved cases have been carried
until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.

JOHN RANDOLPH, ofRoanole, char
acterized a certain supposed alliance
in the United States Congress as a
coalition between the Puritan and
the BIacllleg. This charge brought
about a duel, in which Mr.. Randolph
received a bullet-hole through his
coat. The charge now is that there
has been a union of the Puritan and
the Repudiator, but no bullets will
be used. Plenty Of language has
been used in the last few weeks in
the United States Senate, which, fif-
ty years ago, would have caused
blood to flow But now it all goes
for buncombe. Men pocket the in
suits, pocket their salaries, and go
home hugely satisfied. Malone and
Hill are not Randolph and Clay.

THE Constitution of Tennessee
provides that when the population
Of the State reaches one million and
a half there may be elected ninety
nine Representatives and thirty
three Senators. By the census OF
1880 it is shown that the popula-
ton is over a million and half, and
it will be the duty of the present
Legislature, when it re-assembles,
to make 90 representative districts
and 30 senatorial districts, and the
next General Assembly will contain
1872 members instead of 100 as here
tofore. This arrangement will give
81 additional patriots q chance to
sail in and win glory and renown at
$3.50 per annum.

PRESIDENT Garfield is said to be
in favor of paying off the public
debt as fast as possible He does
not believe a great debt is a public
blessing. Those who favor high
protective tariff look with uneasi-
ness upon the reduction of the ma
tional debt. BY the time the bonds
are all paid off we believe the peo-
pie viii be educated up to the idea
that the Nation should educate all
the children of the land, and if this
job is undertaken it will require all
the money that can be raised from
high tariffs, high whisky and high
tobacco. We are rather inclined to
favor the idea of paying for the ed
ucation of the children out of the
National Treasury. Every voter
should be able to read and write.

A good name is better to be
chosen than great riches" is what
King Solomon said. The people of
Tennessee have had to fight great
political battle with the demag0gues
and blatherslites to maintain the
good name of the proud old volun-
teer State. The people have won
the victory and although the pay
ment ofthe State debt is going to
be heavy burden upon them, it is
to be hoped they will bear the bur
den cheerfully, remembering always
that it is better to be honest and
poor than to have millions obtained
or held by fraud. So if we must
die and leave our children poor we
will leave them a good name-which
is better than gold.

The Republicans counting Ma
hone as a Republican-have a ma
iority of one in the United States
Senate thatis they have a majority
of one with Vice President Arthur
to give the thirty-seventh vote. Just
how it happens that 81 cannot force
SO to surrender is something in par
liamentary tactics that we are not
able to understand The matter be-
fore the Senate is a resolution to go
into the election Of clerical officers.
Why the 81 are unable to pass that

Kidney-Wort is natures remedy
for kidney and liver diseases, piles

Sediment or mucous in the urine
is a sure indication of disease. Take
Kidney-Wort.
Torpid liver and kidneys poison
the blood. Kidnoy-Wort rovives
them and cleanses the system.
Headache, bilious attacks, dizzi-

A Mothers Testimonial.

Messrs. Sanford, Chamberlain & Albers,
Knoxville, Tenn:
My little boy of six years old has been
weak and puny for years. My friends
did not expect 1 would be able to raise
him to this age. He has been dosed and
doctored during this time for worms
and other imaginary ailments with no
relief from any, and I was induced to
try Mrs. Winslow's Vermifuge. Two
doses of that brought over 100 worms
now well, and for which l am truly
thankful. Mrs JOHN T. RowELL.

A Chicago dispatch says that the
fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company had executed a mortgage
for S20,000,000 became public on
the 18th through the loss and sub
sequent recovery of the instrument
itself A prominent lawyer, Of Pitts
burg, came to Chicago on business
connected with this mortgage, but
while in the wash-room of the Grand
Pacific Hotel accidentally dropped
the document out of his pocket It
was swept up with the waste paper
and thrown into an alley north of
the hotel. Here it was picked up
by an Italian ragpicler, in whose
possession it was found to-day. The
mortgage was made on April l, 1881,
to Wistar Morris, Edmund Smith
and Samuel L FELTON,, all Of Phila-
delphia, as trustees for the mort
gagees. The mortgage is to secure
10000 interest bearing bonds for
$1,000 each.

in any of the other Southern States
They have madeno entangling ALI

gone straight forward and fought for

ing a helpless minority party, it is

THE County Court of Hawkins
county met on Monday, the 18th, to
put the new road law in operation.
The worshipful Court was pleased
in its wisdom to lay off the county
into II road districts and elect three
commissioners for each, making 81
officers. These are to appoint over
seers. Perhaps it will require $50
of these latter officers, so we will
start out on the new schedule with
200 officers, receiving one dollar a
day for their services. Ten cents on
the hundred dollars worth Of prop
erty was the assessment, and six
days labor per annum for each man
between the ages of IS and so We
hope the new law will work well,
but have no opinion at present to ex-
press as to its merits.
