OF SENSIBLE PEOPLE.
DR.. S., the prominent Eastern medi-
cal lecturer, says: Every day sensible peo-
pie come to me complaining of their health
being broken down. The answers to my in
quiries always are-what surmise- s
laws have been totally disregarded; conse-
quently the blood, the stream of life, be-
comes contaminated as result of this
blood poisoning, find dyspepsia and disor-
dered functions of the heart, lungs, liver
and kidneys, accompanied by headache, ner-
vous debility and other impaired organic
portions, often verging on paralysis. In
order to keep the digestive organs in proper
health and strength, and my friends in the
profession have recommended Browns Iron
Bitters-they act SO mildly and soothingly,
never leaving any unpleasant after-effects,
strengthening the organs digestion, and per-
manently removing every symptom of i'll
health, languor and debility. No remedy in
the East gives such good satisfaction as
Browns Iron Bitters, and all druggists can
procure it for you. Don't be persuaded to
use substitute. This remedy contains no
alcohol, and is the only preparation of Iron
that does not blacken the teeth.-SUN

At Work,

The third annual State Convention of the
Young Mems Christian Associations will
convene in the First Presbyterian church
next Thursday night, at half past seven,
when the welcome meeting will be held. A
larger number of States will be represented
than at any previous similar convention
Visitors will attend from six different States.
DR.. L. w. Manhall, of indianapolis; Thos.
r. Cree, of New York T. L. johnson, OF
st. Louis; D. w. Glass, of Baltimore ;
James T. Huber, Louisville, KY, and
Woods White, of Atlanta. In all probability
it will be the most interesting Christian AS
ISOLATION ever held in the State, and 125
representative men will be in attendance
from all parts of the State. Having heard
of the far-famed hospitality of knoxville
we hope the delegates will not be 6sap-
pointed. All the sessions will be open to
the public, and an earnest invitation is
given the people of Knoxville to attend.
Any of our citizens who are willing to en-
terrain, either at their homes or at the hotels,
will please notify Mr. James II. Cowan, OF
Asa B. Bixby, on or before October II.
Luncheon will be served by the Women'e
Christian Association, in the Y. NJ. c. A.
Rooms, on Friday and Saturday. So those
who entertain need not look for delegates to
dinner either of these days.

A Hostile Meeting Prevented.

The Bristol Reporter tells an interesting
story how Judge George w. Ward, of the
Abingdon Virginian, and Daniel Trigg Esq,
of the Standard, were prevented from aveng-
ing a grievance on the "field of honah last
Thursday. The two parties the former
with w. H. Mitchell for his second, and
the latter with Capt. c. Lichfield, came
to Bristol and stopped at the Nickels House
and prepared to repair to piece of ground
selected a mile and half west of town, on
the Tennessee side, near the line to fight a
duel. Suspicious were aroused however,
and in response to kilograms from
Abingdon, the entire party were arrested
before the hostile meeting and taken back
to Abingdon.
Ward is a Readjuster and Trigg a Funder,
and politics was the cause of the offense.
Trigg was the challenging party. The of
fensive publication was as follows:
''He who comforts the wind of the shorn
lamb. Standard, 20 instant.
The 'wind' this week, of the Standard
is no doubt comforting" to the ''shorn
lambs of the Bourbon-F under fold; for it is
filled with lies. 1t should temper" its

The 1.-TWO Medallions' Farewell.


The Johnston & Miller Operatic-C Comedy
Company had a splendid matinee yesterday
evening, and last night closed their engage
ment of five appearances in Staub's Opera
House, quite successfully. The favorite
"Two Medallions" was again produced on
each occasion. This delightful piece of
stage work loses nothing by repetition, but
grows in favor, and the people all exert
themselves to please.
The charming little star, Amy Lee, makes
new conquests at each successive appearance,
as does also Miss Jennie Raynone, with her
remarkably sweet and mellow voice. Charley
Stanley, who has few equals as an ebony
hued comedian, in his local gags on the
cadets, brought storms of applause, and
Ben Hodges, one of the best comedians
on the stage, was capital in his ''last of the
family" solo.
The company have engratiated themselves
into the good graces of Knoxville play goers
to an enviable degree, and will always be
heartily welcomed. They leave to-day for
Chattanooga.
