Brevities from Dibrell.

Mr.. B. F. Womack has gathered an
eight acre field of corn that yielded
about 100 barrels of corn, or about 12t
barrels per acre. 1t was grown on
what is known as the "mill field"
Maj. A. Towles has taken up winter

Mr.. Elijah Browns school closed last
Saturday night at Green Hill, one mile
north of this place. The exercises
were very entertaining. Our mind
was carried back to the time when we
were boy, and even to few years
ago, when that whole country was al
most a wilderness. We are more than
glad to see such change. 1t only
shows what little time will do when
spent in the improvement of the mind.
Mr.. Brown has certainly done his duty
as a teacher, as all present can testify.
Several dialogues were well acted by

Mr.. Jno, Gribble, from Alexandria,

Most of our people are rejoicing over

Cure for Small. POx.

The following is regarded as a per-
feet cure for smallpox and is used as
such in the British ARMY on duty /, in
China:
"When the preceding fever is at its
height, and just before eruption ap-
pears, the chest is rubbed with crotOn
oil and tartaric ointment. This causes
the whole eruption to appear on that
part Of the body to the relief of the
rest. 1t also secures a complete erup-
ton and prevents an attack on the
vital organs.

Have you a dull sense of weight
about your head now and again chang
ing into positive pain? Does your food
appear tasteless or bitter, your tongue
feel thick and rough in the morning or
when fasting? Have you no appetite
at all, or one capricious and voracious ?
Is there a constant flow of saliver with
heart burn? Do your meals feel heavy
on your stomach? Do you sit down
to eat with great desire and longing
for food, and rise up without touching
hardly anyF Are you disinclined for
exertion, easily wearied, always in a

McMinnvlile Debating club.

The club met In College Hall Nov.
18th with large number of visitors
present. III. B. Northcut called the
house to order. After reading the
minutes of the previous meeting by the
secretary, the cause of ''The Club VS..
j. H. Cummins" was called. Walter
Barton was called to the chair, and a
jury appointed consisting of Messrs.
Frank Maddux, g. Calvin Brooks and
Ben Woods. j. H. Waters appeared
as attorney for the club, and H. B.
Northcut for the defendant. The tes-
timony was heard and the case argued.
The jury retired, but failed to agree,
whereupon Will Kuykendall was called
to the witness stand and asked whether
or not it was customary for him to
wade the river when coming to town.
This being answered satisfactorily, the
jury returned a verdict of mot Guilty"
Next in order was the debate. The
subject was read as follows: affirmed
that intemperance has been greater
curse to man than war" The dispu.
tants were M. P. Hoodenpyl and G,
I. Thurman on the part Of the affirm
alive, and j. H. Waters, j. H, Cum
Minis and Walter Barton on the part of
the negative. At the close of the dis
cussion the President rendered decis.
ion in favor of the affirmative.

Wants to Do All he Can.

In conversation with Hon. Asa
Faulkner few days ago we learned
that he was about completing his new
bridge across the mouth of Collins river
at its junction with the Caney Fork
River. This is a splendid and substan-
tial Howe-Truss bridge, $40 feet long,
built preparatory to the erection of
Cotton Mill on the Warren side of the
Caney Fork Falls. Mr.. Faulkner has
purchased the wright of way through
Mr.. Hash's farm and has made a good
road to the Rock Island Depot. This
brings his splendid mill site within one
mile of the depot. Mr.. Faulkner is
quite an old man, now in his eightieth
year, but still possesses great energy
and strength for man of his age. He
has spent nearly all his long and useful
life in manufacturing, and has raised a
large family of boys, nearly all of whom
are well educated in the business and
are successfully engaged in manufactur-
ing. Mr.. Faulkner says he does not
expect to see his new and promising
enterprise complete but "WaatS to do
auhe cum" to inaugurate an enterprise
that will grow and increase in magni-
tude until it will build up around it a
city and give employment to thousands
of industrious people of the poorer class
who are dependent upon their labor for
a support. We believe as MIR. Faulk-
ner does, that these celebrated falls Of
Caney Fork, will eventually become
the Lowell of the south. All thst is
wanted is sufficient capital and enter
priseing young men to take hold with
the old man and push the good work
he has commenced to success.

New York Coal Trade Journal.
In the Cumberland region movement has
been made to put new labor at work, for the
old hands show no disposition to fall In with
the views of the operators. There has been
every opportunity given to keep the old hands
at work at the rate which is equivalent to
wages in other districts. The absurdity of the
long struggle is shown in the activity In other
competing districts, until the markets of the
seaboard are flooded with all sorts Of coal,
some OF II classed as "trash," but still 1t Is
used at one price or another. Whether the
Cumberland district will be able to reclaim
Its share Of the trade whenever work is re-
sumed remains to be seen. Many OF the dealers
into the old shape again. We hear Of some
very low figures for bituminous Goals here,
and Boston adyices are that Clearneld is sold
at S4.0O delivered, and even less for round
lots on contracts. How much margin is there
in $3.50 delivered at New Haven, for instance?
The outlook is not for higher prices on btu
minous coal. The latest report that we have
from the Clearfield district shows a tonnage
for the week Of 7O.110 net tons. This is by
far the largest output ever placed to credit the
Of the district. There Is no reason why the men
should strike when they are engaged to such
an extent as the tonnage reports show. We
believe from the local reports that those Of the
workingmen who are not subject to the whims
OF q few demagogues are opposed to any such
thing as q cessation OF labor. Strikes never
pay the operatives, however much they may
sometimes benefit the coal operator, In en-
abling him to get rid OF q stock OF coal.

The Daring American Sailor.

]
cable dispatch announces the arrival of
two United States men of war at Portsmouth,
Eng, and Incidentally remarks that one OF
them is leaky, and will take a fortnight to re-
calk. 1t is supposed that during that period
the sailors Will be given leave on shore, in
order that they may become rested from the
arduous labor OF working the pumps all the
voyage, and experience the novel sensation OF
moving about without having life preservers
strapped all over them. The American sailor
may not know much about fighting, but when
1t comes TO showing contempt for danger, al
he has to do is to cross the ocean In one OF the
men-of-war OF his country, and the bravery Of
Nelson's mariners Is forever obscured.
