No More Hard Times.

If you will stop spending so much on
fine clothes, rich food and style, buy
good, healthy food, cheaper and better
clothing; get more real and substantial
things every way, and especially stop the
foolish habit of employing expensive,
quack doctors or using so much of the
vile humbug medicine that does you
only harm, but put your trust i'm that
simple pure remedy, Hop Bitters; that
cures always at trifing cost, and you
will see good times and have good health.

The Cowan Affair.

One of the best citizens of the Cowan
district gives us the following particu.
lars in regard to the late row in Cowan :
The affair originated in the store of
Pattie Il Shook, between Mr.. North
cult, an employc of the Tennessee Coal
& Railroad Company, and two negroes
from the furnace, in which Northcutt
got the best of it The negroes threat
ened to have revenge. About thirty
of them gathered at the saw mill with
avowed intentions to mob Northcutt,
but some of his friends had tclegraphcd
him at Tracy to prepare himself to meet
them Thus warned, Northcutt and
the other hands Oh his train armed
themselves to meet the mob. On ar
irving near the saw-mill they (the hands
on the train,J saw the negroes in
waiting, and jumped off the train and
advanced upon them, firing several
shots, without aiming to hurt them,
whereupon the negroes fled. to the fur
mace grounds. This ended the affair.
