Messrs. A. II. Elan g. Co., steam
renovators, were kept busy last week il
filling orders for the citizens Of the town
and vicinity. They certainly have done
4 vast amount of work since their ar
rival here in the way of renovating
feather beds, and in every instance in
which we have heard their enterprise
spoken Of was with the highest praise
and cOmmendation. II there il
one thing more than another, during
the cold, winter nights, that will cause
the arms Of sweet Morpheus to lock
comfortably and peacefully around
one, it is surely a soft, downy bed.
Why not, then, if You wish this lux
ury, instead of buying expensive new
feathers, have your old feathers,
which have become clogged, matted
and filled with notes and dust, liven-
ed up and thoroughly cleaned by this
splendid new process of renovation
IL will cost but a snail amount, and,
in the aggregate, save four times the
sum expended, besides giving ready
comfort. The opportunity is truly a
rare one. Let everybody who has
old feathers take advantage Of ii.

The law OF Tennessee requires that
all fertilizers sold in the State shall
come up to q certain standard, and
before it can be sold a tax Of 80 cts.
a ton shall be paid to the inspector.
There are three inspectors for the
State. The one for East Tennessee lie
located at Knoxville, Each dealer is
required to furnish the inspector with
a sample Of his goods and a copy of
the analysis. The inspector then fur
nishes inspectors tags to said dealer
on payment of the tax Of fifty cents
a ton. Then, if anyeauestion arises
as to the fertilizer falling to come up
TO the: required standard, it is then
analysed and if it Is not in accord
ance with the guaranteed analysis,
the dealer and manufacturer are liza
bic to the penalties imposed by the
law. All fertilizers that are sold in
the State without inspectors tags at
tached to each bag, are sold in viola
ton of law, and all dealers will do
well TO observe this fact.

UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 20, 1888.
To the Editor Of The Morzistown Gazette:
The prospects for q good school are
brighter than they have been for sew
eral years. Though there has been
considerable ''agitation" in the Facul-
W, that is all ever with now, and we
are having a good school. Everything
is as quiet and peaceful as May morn
ing. 1t has been predicted by number
of persons, that, because of the little
trouble in the Faculty, the'number OF
students would be comparatively small
this year. So far is this prediction from
the truth that we have now 175 students
so more, at least, than were enrolled
during the first three weeks of last year.
This is q decided improvement. The
students this year are mostly new
boys"-''fresh fish" as they are called.
This shows that the people OF the State
are taking a deeper interest in the wei
rare of this grand institution OF learn
ing. They are coming to ind out thal
it Is to their interest to make use OF the
many advantages which this college
has.
several valuable additions have lately
been made 10 the already large Library
which this University affords.
There are over four thousand differ
ent varieties of plants in the University
Greenhouse, and the number is being
constantly increased. Come and see IT..
A telephone connects the College Hill
with the city. One of the students
erected this line at his own risk, ana
controls it exclusively. KEMP.

In regard to buying horse this ad-
vice is given: THE head is the indi-
Gator of the disposition. A square muz-
zle, with large nOstrils evidences lung
power. See that he is well under the
iowl, with jawbOnes broad and well
apart under the throttle. Breadth and
fullness between the ears and eyes is
desirable. The eyes should be full and
hazel in color, ears thin and thrown
well forwards. He is either a bitter or
kicker, or n runner, and Is sure to be
vicious in other respects, and being
naturally vicious can never be trained
to do anything well, and so a large
horse with a rounding nose, taperinG
forehead, and broad, full face between
the eyes, is always treacherous and not
to be depended on"
