Board Of Health.

The Board of Health met in regu-
lar monthly session on Monday
night, at the Office of Health Officer
DIR. G. w. Beaumont.
The physicians of the Board re-
ported that they had started on
their rounds i'm the enforcement of
the ordinance requiring compulsory
vaccination, and that for the most
part they found everybody ready
and willing to be vaccinated. Very
few persons refuse to comply with
the ordinance. The names of these
are taken down by the physician,
and unless satisfactory reasons can
be given, will be subjected to fine
by the proper authorities.
In regard to the city ordinance
requiring physicians to report all
infectious or contagious diseases
occurring in their practice, the
Board passed the following supple
mentary resolution:
That. the sanitary inspectors be
instructed that whenever they hear
of a case of infectious or contagious
disease occurring in the town, they
shall at once inquire of the attend
ing physician, who shall report
such fact in writing through the
said inspectors, or in person, to the
health Office-in conformity with
section 18th of an ordinance to es-
tablish n Board of Health and pro-
vide sanitary regulations for the

The heavy rains, snow and sleet
which have prevailed almost inces-
sanity all over the country north of

berland big boom. and fears have
even been entertained lest she
should get over her banks, and re-
peat the performances OF February.
1882. All such fears as these have
now, however, at this writing been
allayed. She is now reported at a
stand-still at this point and may be
expected to fall rapidly to-day.
The latest advices we can get
from Nashville, report her over her
banks in some places, notably the
Sulphur Springs bottom, in the
northern part OF the city. This was
on Thursday afternoon, however,
and no further rise was anticipated.
No serious damages are reported
from any point. LHe5 #AFt38

4 CARD.
Is He q RepudIatIonfsf?

Our good friend, Mr.. John F.
Shelton, feeling himself aggrieved
by being called a RepudiatiOnist by
some of those who differed with him
in the late State canvass, wishes to
state a few facts to such as may
have made or heard such charges,
and then let them judge for them
selves whether or not he isa Repudi-
ationist. .........
At the beginning of the late war
he was somewhat in debt, and like
thousands of others, had his prop
erty swept away and was unable to
pay during that time. After the
war, the statutes of Limitation had
barred all claims against him, but
in order 10 discover what were his
obligations, he caused to be printed
and circulated in 1866 the following
card:
To ALL WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN
Any person having any claim
against John F. Shelton, either by
note or open account, will please
file il with Dick Read or Thos. Duff,
at their offices, for settlement.
Pursuant to this card, he paid out
the sum of 81, $3.50, all debts owed
by him at that time, either by note
or open account, none of which
could be made by law, but he con-
sidered them moral obligations, and
as such as binding, or even more SO,
than legal ones. He has always
endeavored to pay every just and
honorable debt incurred by him.
The facts stated in the above card
are of record, and can be substan-
tiated either by the books or by his
friends.
He does not think the title of a
Repudiationist, applied to him by
thoughtless friends, either just or
generous one, and does not wish TO
rest under such stigma.
He voted for Gen. Bate in the
late canvass, would have done 80 on
the ground of personal friendship,
if for no other, but does not think
his political opinion justiies any
man in calling him personally a
RepudiatiOnist, or in thinking that
he Is in favor of reputation of any
kind.
He is perfectly willing to let his
debt-paying record be compared
with any man who calls him Re-
pudiationist, and let the public judge
between the two. ss
He regrets the necessity of ap-
pearing before the public in an af-
fair of this kind, but believes he
ought to do so in justice to himself.
He is no Repudiationist, and GER
tainly does not wish or intend to re-
main silent under such an imputa-
ton.

We take pleasure in calling our
readers attention to an article on
our first page, this week, from the
pen of the Hon. j. III. Moore, of
CentervIlle, Tenn, published re-
Gently in the Philadelphia Times,
under the head of "Annals of the
War;" in which ne gives an inter-
esting account of the famous battle
Of Gettysburg, and recounh the
gallant and heroic part taken by
Gen. Heth's division, composed in
part of Archer's Tennessee Brigade,
in that memorable engagement.
Mr.. Moore was himself gallant
officer in the 18th Tennessee Regi-
ment, which was a part of Archer's
brigade and was a participant in
and an eyewitness of what he re-
lates.
Wealso elsewhere publish COM
munication from Mr.. r. e Nc
CuIloch, of this city, who was a
member of Company III, 14th Ten
nesse regiment, which was also
part of Archer's brigade and was
actively engaged in the stirring and
deadly engagements of the first and
third days of this bloody battle,
who corroborates i'm nearly every
particular the facts related in. Mr..
MOore's graphic narrative. We
have also talked with others of the
survivors of the I4th Tennessee reg
iment in this city, who lend the
weight of their testimony to the
truth of the statement contained in
Mr.. MoOre's article. 80 az
This article unquestionably ac-
cords the honors to whom honor is
due and as such cannot fail to be of
great interest to those who were
active participants in that famous
battle and who are naturally much
interested in che writing of its cor
rect history. There are number
of the survivors of the 14th Tennes-
see regiment in this and adjoining
counties who perhaps have not read
this account and who will doubtless
appreciate our motives in reproduc-
ing it in our columns.
