The Reason Why.

The tonic effect of Kidney Wort is pro-
duced by its cleansing and purifying action
on the blood. Where there is gravelly de-
post in the urine, or milky, ropy urine
from disordered kidneys; it cures without
fail. Constipation and piles readily yield to
its cathartic and healing power. Put up in
dry vegetable form or liquid very concen-
trated), either act prompt and sure.-Troy

The New Fair Grounds.

No one should fail to visit the new
grounds of the Fair Association. The view
of the grounds as you cross the bridge
which spans the beautiful Tennessee River
is certainly enhancing. A short drive after
you cross the river brings you to the race
track, which seems now to be attracting the
attention of all lovers of sport. More than
500 persons visited the grounds yesterday
and drove around the magnificent track.
We heard an old turin an say yesterday that
the home stretch was the finest m America.
Just think of straight stretch nearly seven
hundred yards long and fifty feet wide. The
stalls are filling up rapidly. Over 100 have
already been engaged, and by Saturday
night over 100 head of horses for exhibition
and for the races, will be quartered on the
grounds.
The officers are working with all their
energy to supply the unprecedented de-
mands made for stable room, and they an
nounce that they will be able to accommo-
date all. A competent forage master has
been appointed, and will have forage on the
grounds to supply all who desire it. Every
thing now betokens a grand success, both
in point of numbers and the character of
the exhibition, for never before were there
as many fine horses and speedy Ones too,
present on the grounds as have already ar
rived, and information is certain that over
thirty others will arrive this week, and al
most double as many next week. All seem
jubilant over the prospects of success, and
well they may be. The fair opens Tuesday,
25th instant, and continues four days.

HOW OFFICIALS WERE. ONCE PAID.

1t is not a generally known historical fact that
from l777 to 1884 the territory now knows as Ten
nessee formed part Of North Carolina, and that
In 1885 the Tennesseeans, becoming dissatisfied
with their government, organized State govern
ment under the name Of "Franklyn," which was
maintained for some years. The State organiza'
ton sfterward dsbaAded, and Territorial Ten
nessee was again annexed to North Carolina. The
following is among the laws passed by the Legis
lature Of the State OF Franklyn. We copy 1t as
found In a speech by Daniel Webster on the cur
rency In 1888:
"Be 1t enacted by the General Assembly Of the
State Of Franklyn, and 1t is hereby enacted by
the authority OF the same; That from the first day
Of January 17S9 the salaries Of the officers Of this
Commonwealth be as follows to wit;
His Excellency the Governor, per annum, 1000
deer skins;
his Honor the Chief Justice, 500 deer skins;
The Secretary to His Excellency, the Govern
or, 500 raccoon skins;
The Treasurer OF the State 45O raccoon SKINS
Each County Clerk 300 beaver skins;
CLERK OF the House Of Commons 200 raccoon
skins;
Members Of the Assembly, per diem, 8 raccoon
skins;
Justices fee for signing warrant, one musk
rat skin;
TO the Constable for serving warrant, one
mink skin.
Enacted into a law the 18th day Of October
17S9 under the great seal Of the State"
