A Great Cure of Rheumatism
and Neuralgia of Seven
Years Standing

In few weeks, by DR.. Jones. The tes-
timony of one Of the first ladies Of
Knoxville
''DR. JONEs-Dear Sir: am happy
to report that in eight days after using
your remedies my wife was able to walk
across the parlor and bedroom, and
comparatively free from pain, though
she had not been out of bed or the roll
ing chair for seven months, and an in
valid seueH gears. And now, by your
treatment, she is we'll and attending to
her household duties-has visited the
country and attends church and goes
about and is so well no one could tell
she ever had been an Invalid seven
years or any length of time, and this is
the more remarkable as her pain and
sufferings were intense and she could not
rest day nor night before she cOmmenc-
ed your treatment, and she was given
up as hopeless and incurable case.
"Neither myself nor wife can say
enough in favor Of your treatment
which is so mild and pleasant, and yet
so exceedingly certain and effective.
Every respectfully,
''JoHN B. CLoTwoRTHY."
Mr.. Clotworthy is ORe of KnOxville's
most esteemed and energetic citizens.
On account of his wonderful cures
and the great and increasing demand
for his skill, DIR. JSnes has extended
his stay at the Hattie House, Knoxville,
Tenn, until April first.

The Masonic Keystone reports
that a curious old Masonic tapestry
has been discovered at Ignore, an
old timbered residence belonging to
the Earl of Fowls, England. One
of the tapestry hangings represents
the visit Of the Queen of Sheba to
King solomon. The figures in the
foreground are nearly life size and
two of them, embracing each other,
illustrate the five points of fellow
ship. The tapestry bears date A.
D. 1856. 1t was evidently removed
to Ignore from Montgomery Cas-
tie, half mile distant, when it was
destroyed in 1649, by order eff Oil
yer Cromwell. The tapestry is of
peculiar and suggestive interest to
Freemasons.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. Is,

HIGH PRICED SEATS AND WlhDONS-
SENATE TO BE ORGANIZED BY DEM
OCRATs.
WASHINGTON, D.. c., Feb. 25.
To the Editor OF the MorristOwn Gazette:
Within the last week Pennsyl
vania Avenue has assumed the ap-
pearance of a vast oblong amphi-
theatre, and it may be doubted il
ever the Colosseum itself held a
larger multitude than will assemble,
on each side of this famous boUle-
ward, to see the progress, from the
White House to the Capitol, Of the
new President On each side the
Avenue, temporary seats and plat
| forms have been erected, and thOus-
ands of seats on these have already
been reserved, at a price averaging
about one dollar per seat. Some
enterprising renters have built board
seats on the roofs of houses along
the avenue, while all the windows
in the hotels, saloons and shops
along the proposed line Of march
have already been rented, or are
for rent at ridiculously high prices.
If the weather shall prove to be fine
on the coming fourth of March, the
concourse of people will be immense,
but l cannot help thinking there
will be room for them. 1t is a full
mile and a quarter from the White
House to the East front of the Capt.
tol, the side walks on both sides Of
the avenue are almost as broad as
an old fashion street; and these,
with terraced board seats and win
dows, will accommodate a host of
people. The prQfanunl UuLguS will !
monopolize the side walks, while |
those who can pay fifty cents or
dollar will find seats on the plat |
forms. If the day should prove in.
clement, those seats will go begging |
for less than fifty cents.
The inauguration, the procession,
and the ball, are talked about now
to the observation of all other sub
jects. The ball will doubtless be a
mammoth affair, and it may with |
safety be said that the world cannot |
show more spacious and we'll APP |
pointed ball room than that which
the new Museum building will af- |
ford. Gen. Grants first Inaugural
ton ball was held in the Treasury

The death of Senator Carpenter

Mr.. Sawyer, who has

eastern portion Of the State, so that
the western side will now claim it.
1t is of course believed there will be
lots of candidates, including ex-Sen-
ator Lowe, Boss Keyser, Senator
Cameron, possibly Gov. Pound and
others. Owing to the loss Of Sena-
tor Carpenter it will now be impos-
sible for the Republicans to organize
the Senate on the fourth of March
next. The Constitution provides
that such a vacancy can be filled on
the second Tuesday after notice of
vacancy is communicated to the leg
islature. 1t will, hence, be the 8th
of March before Senator can be
and, since there will be
sharp competition for the place, it
will, in all probability, be much
longer before the vacancy can be

A TIMELY HINT

The New York Sun gives this
timely hint of public opinion on the
recent threats of prominent national
banks as to their course in the event
of the passage of the 3 per cent,
funding bill: at strikes us that
| the gentlemen in Wall street, who
are trying to prevent the Senate
Funding bill from becoming law,
rather make a mistake. Undoubt-
eddy they have a right to express
their opinions about the bill, but
when it comes to threatening that
unless it is modified to meet their
views they viii wreck the trade of
the entire country, they go a step
too far. The average Congressman
has no such fear of banks and bank
ers as to make him alter his vote to
avoid their displeasure, and as to
any possibility of the mischief they
may do, he will soon find a way to
prevent it. If the officers of the
banks should attempt, as some fool
ish men here say they will, to with
draw their circulation unless certain
provisions in the bill are stricken
out, it would be very easy to supply
the deficiency with an additional
issue of greenbaeks, and if they try
by underhand means to thwart the
negotiation of the new bonds because
the rate of interest is not high
enough to please them, they can
be deprived of the privilege of
issuing circulation altogether. 1t
is dangerous thing for the tail to
attempt to wag the dog, for if the
dog gets angry he can switch the
tail about in a very unpleasant way
for the tail. The truth is, that i'll
matters of national interest there is
no set of people as stupid as the
Wall street fnanciers. Absorbed in
the business of buying and selling
stocks and offending money, they
only consider what Immediately
affects to-day's markets, without a
of the future or regard for
what is going on elsewhere. In the
present case they are evidently in
Olissful ignorance Of the general
hostility Of the people Of the West
and Southwest to the National bank
system and the slender thread of
oleration on which it hangs. 1t
needs only good pretext to secure
he sweeping of the whole thing out
# existence, and the substitution for
Of any exclusively national cur
ency. That pretext all the Wall
treet bankers seem bent on furnish
ng, and Washington will, we fear, be
My too glad to seize upon it. E"

Artificial Eyes Inserted which
Move and Appear as the
Natural Eye Without Pain.

Read what one of the most reliable
citizens of Knoxville says:
Many years ago lost one of my
eyes, which has always been sore by
the lids lying together and also disfgur-
ed me very much. I consulted DIR.
Jones, who teld me he could insert an
eye without operation or pain to move
and appear natural and cure the sore
ness all of which he has done. The
eye moves, gives no pain, and the old
soreness is gone, and but few of my
friends can tell the artificial from the
natural eye. JOHN q. FOX,
Engineer at the Custom House. !"
Knoxville, Tenn, Feb 25, 1881.
The great cures and skilful surgical
operations accomplished by DR.. Jones
has induced the people to urge him to
stay at the. Hattie House, Knoxville,
until April first, that all may come and
get cured.

number Of States. At this writing it
is supposed that in our own State Bal

Treasurer by small plurality over
Noble, the Democratic candidate.
Wolfe, independent Republican, has
received from forty to fifty thousand
votes in the State, one-third Of which
were cast by Democrats. Bailys plu-
rality will not exceed FIVE thousand, so
this result, with Wolfe's diversion in
favor of cur party, cannot be charged
to the Republicans, but the respOnsi.

voters who foolishly forgot what was
due to their own candidate and threw
their votes away.
