A Down Town Merchant,

Having passed several sleepless nights, dis
turbed by the agonies and cries of a suffering
child, and becoming convinced that Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup was just the article needed,
procured a supply for the child. On reaching
home and acquainting his wife with what he had
done, she refused t. have it administered to the
child. as she was strongly in favor of Hom9o-
pathy That night the child passed in suffering,
and the parents without sleep. Returning home
the day following, the father found the baby
still worse; and while contemplat ng another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from the
room to attend to some domestic duties, and left
the father with the child. During her absence
he administered portion of the Soothing Syrup
to the baby, and said no hing. That night all
hands slept we'll and the little fellow awoke in
the morning bright and happy. TIE mother
was delighted with the sudden and wonderful
change, and although at first offended at the de-
ception practiced upon her. has continued to
use the Syrup, and suffering crying babes and
restless nights have disappeared. single tria

No More smallpox in Knox County.

No More Smau-PoA In hnox County.
In a brief conversation yesterday with DIR.
T. A. West, Knox Countys quarantine phy--
stefan, appointed by the County Court, a
CHRONICLE representative gathered the
cheering information that the smallpox has
now certainly spent its course in our sec
ton, and there is now not case of the dis
ease under treatment in Knox Coun-
ty. There are yet, however,
four children who are suffer-
ing with the assesses which attend
the loathsome disease. t,ne is little child
of VIM. Clapp, who died of the disease.
Its case turned into hemorrhage, and it is
feared the child will not live. By the mid
die of next week, DR.. West expects to have
everything clear of all traces of the malady.
He is making thorough work of it, and is de.
stroying, by fire, all articles on places where
water will not suffice. The Smith house,
near House mountain was burned by his
direction, and new house is to be built
| for them.
The doctor has certainly been successful
in his contest with the dread scourge, and
deserves credit. He also deserves the
thanks of the citizens for the manner in
which he has guarded their interests, fnan-
cially He has made it point to save all
cost to the county possible. Yet
has spared no means in taking such steps as
were necessary. The new house built in
place of the burned one will not cost the
county anything. He raised subscription
among the neighbors for that
There were in all, II cases and deaths
in Knox County, during the prevalence of
the disease. There were deaths and seve-
raj cases over the Union County line. DR..
West learns, though not officially, that 2
more cases have developed in Union Coun-
ty. A careful watch will be kept in that d.
rection.
Mrs. Nancy Hartman, of Mansfield, o.,
writes: 81 have been under the care of a
| physician during the past seven years.
Sometimes I would feel better and then
again I would feel worse. The past two
years nothing seemed to help me. About
two months ago my doctor seemed to be
getting discouraged, and 1 lay completely
bed. ridden. I grew very nervous the least
noise gave me great irritation. The doctor,
1 suppose more to get me off his hands than
anything else, as he said I would never
leave my bed, told me 1 might try Browns
Iron Bitters, at the same time remarking,
1T was a good tonic, and would help to
keep me alive / have used the remedy
about two months, and have been out of
bed nearly two weeks, and now help about
the house. 1t has acted like a miracle in
my case.

TO CONSERVATIVES.

'Golden Medical Discovery" is con-
centrated, potent alternative, or blood cleans
ing remedy, that wins golden opinions from
all who use it for any humor, from the
common pimple, blotch, or eruption, to the
formidable scrofulous swelling, or ulcer.
Internal fever, soreness and liberation,
yield to its benign influences. Consump-
ton, which is but scrofulous affection of
the lungs, may, in its early stages, be cured
by free use of this God given remedy.

in recent interview, said: 81 have smoked
no other tobacco but Blackwelrs Bull Dur
ham for many years. I believe it to be the
only tobacco fit for an invalid like myself,
because it is absolutely pure. I can not get
on without my pipe, and therefore appre-
ciate a good article of smoking tobacco"
Mr.. Stephens went further, and said that
BLACKWELL'S BULL DURHAM, of
which he had package on his table, was,
in his opinion, the best tobacco made in
America, not only for invalids, but for
everybody, it having mild, mellow flavor
possessed by no other brand he ever tried.
BLACKWELL1S BULL DURHAM
LONG-CUT SMOKING TOBACCO is
essentially the gentleman's smoking tobacco,
and its equal has never been produced.

THE SPRING TRADE.
10 7. McTeer & Co. Thoroughly Prepared
for it.
With the Largest Stock of Clothing Ever
in Knoxville,

At Prices to Suit All Glasses of Purchasers
Passing the mammoth clothing store of j.
T. McTeer & Co., yesterday; we called In
and took a look through the establishment
just to see the appearance of the place, with
their new spring stock on the counters, and
of course we wanted to see the styles, whether
we buy spring suit or not. We found the
largest stock of goods on the counters ever
shown in Knoxville, and learned from MIR.
10 McTeer that he had been in New York
in January, and that he had purchased an
immense stock of spring goods, which are
now coming in, the bulk of them having ar
rived. and are now on the counters and
shelves. The first floor is crowded with
goods, until you are forced to wonder how
they are going to dispose of them all,
but, on going to the second floor,
The stock carried by this firm comprises
everything in the clothing line and gents
furnishing goods, and also an immense stock
of boys clothing, of all sizes and prices.
he can suit any Ouo, do ho hO0Po o'eiy
quality of goods, and can suit the purse of
any purchaser.
TO MERCHANTS.
Messrs. J. 7. McTeer & Co. can fill any
order you may favor him with, at prices to
compete with the Eastern markets.
Purchasing such immense quantities of
goods as they do, they get the very bottom
figures, such as no small merchant can
possibly obtain, and hence they can lay
down the goods here and sell them to the
merchants in this section as cheap as they
could buy in the East, and thus save them
the freights. This is no buncolnb talk, but
facts, as any merchant can easily convince
himself of, by calling and examining the
stock and prices of McTeer & Co.'s goods.
They have a fine store now, splendid stock
of goods, low prices, full force of &C
commodating clerks and will treat all who
call well. Try them.

A Question of Privilege

Mr. EDITOR: l arise to question of
privilege. This morning when I came to
the Broad street railroad crossing, on my
way to the Office, found a very lengthy
train directly on the crossing, reaching down
the track some two hundred yards or more,
and up to near the depot. After standing
some time I started down, and doubled the
head of the train; and as 1 passed around
said to the engineer that 1 supposed he had
right to block up the crossing for length
of time, or he would not do it. He then
called back to man ON the train, near the
crossing, to cut the train and he would start
up a little, which was then done.
Question: Has the railroad company or
its employees right to block up crossing,
which is in constant use, and let it remain
SO ten or more minutes, and that, too, when
many men, as well as ladies (which was the
case this morning), are on their way to
business?
This is simply plea for
Equal RIGHTS.
