HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who viii
examine SOLID GoLp WArcH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary s0lidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal Is over
come, and the SAME soLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-halt of the
usual cost Of solid cases. This process is OF
the most simple nature, as follows: plate
of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates Of
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs. centres, bezels, &c, are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick To adj
nit of all kinds of chasing, engraving ami
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS Is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO Plates OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED By SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.

A NATIONAL REUNION
In COmmemOraliOn of the Battle
OF murfreesbOrO 20 be Held De-

Nashville World, 7.


A movement is on foot to hold re-
uDion Of the soldiery who took part in
the great conflict at Stone river on the
3lst of September, 1862. The reunion
is to be held at Murfreesboro during
the week Of the 2lst anniversary OF the
battle, beginning on the 9th and clos.
ing on the 10Th. 1t is expected, and
in fact intended, to be national in Its
character.
Distinguished soldiers of both sides,
WhO'took part in the engagement, have
siani6ed their intention 10 be present,
while hundreds Of the rank and file
from all parts oftht Union will take
this occasion to visit the "old camp
ground" and the blue and the gray
will meet again after a lapse Of Il
years, and, in. friendly converse, fight
the battle over again as they walk to-
gether over the ground and point out
the places where they once dealt death
and destruction. 8E
There is no spot on earth where tbs
soldiers Of both armies copld meet in
reunion, and be greeted with more
hearty welcome than with the good
people Of MurlreesborO, and no place
where the hospitality Of the people
would be more generously extended.
The programme fr the occasion hai
not as yet been arranged, but will b.
given 10 the public soon,
The object intended to be accom-
plished by the reunion is to common

came very much debilitated, and the least
labor was burden. feared that Il would
terminate in Brlght's Disease, as there were
the symptoms. She had no appetite at times.
She tried several medicines, but only received
temporary relief from any Of them until she
commenced using Hunt's Remedy, which
was recommended to Us by dTuggi Smith. Of
Auburn, saying that II had been used By q
good many with tho greatest success for the
euro of kidney. liver, and bladder troubles.
She commenced using II. and found by the
use Of only one bottle she had been relieved
Of the pains In her back, had rogained her

that Hunts Remedy Is a most wonderful
