am the originator of the Mon4o-
pdthic treatment for Catarrh, and
use no other.
Catarrh is the forerunner of bron-
chial troubles, lung diseases and
premature death. 1t is loathsome
disease, that if neglected soon at
tacks the vital organs. Startling as
it may seem, fully one-third of the
inhabitants of this section are af-
fiicted with nasal catarrh, and fully
one-half of the deaths from con-
sumption are directly traceable to
neglected cases. l have a radical
remedy for catarrh and will guaran-
tee to cure all cases that will present
themselves at my Office for treat
ment. My terms are very reasona-
BILE, and trial treatment is given free
of charge to all applicants.

Powder, thousands are daily eating it
in their bread ummindful of it's des-
tructive effect upon their health
Pure Baking Powder is an indispen-

Death of Dr.. thomas Norfeet.

We regret to learn of the death of
DIR. Thomas Norfieet, who died at
his home in COahoma county, near
Friar's Point, Mississippi, last week
of pneumonia. DIR. NOrfieet was a
resident OF this county before the
war, residing near Port Royal, and
went from here into the war and
was at one time assistant surgeon of
the 14th Tennessee regiment. After
the war he settled in Mississippi,
where he has lived ever since. He
had many friends and acquaint-
ances, and we believe, relatives
living near Port Royal. He leaves
a wife and several children to mourn
his death.

Must Have svtcber,s ,cense.

The question of whether grocery
or other merchant has the privilege
of selling fresh meat at his store
under his regular merchants Ii
cense, has been one lately much
discussed in this city. The question
was lately brought before the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen, it
being asserted that the privilege
was exercised by some of our store
keepers and that it was contrary to
law. This was the opinion of the
Board, but as it was stated that a
case involving this question was
then before the Supreme Court hav-
ing been carried up from the city of
Nashville, it was decided to await
the decision of the Court.
Since then we see the Court has
decided that a merchant cannot ex-
ercise the privilege without taking
out regular butchers license, that
nothing but butchers license will
authorize sale of fresh meats in
stores. Our merchants will do well
to take note of this decision, else
they will beheld liable for butch
ers' license or a fine for violation of
the law. ..-.

From the Rev. .. w. Cullom.

EEOnA snG kSCb. -. w. O0hhOAMs
A cold Monday night is a good
time 10 be by ones own fireside.
l have just got in from three days
trip on my work. Saturday MORN
| ing our County 8. s. Association
held its quarterly session at the
Baptist church in Murfreesboro and
the entire day was spent there. It
was a steady rainy day, but l will
say to Bro. John P. McFerrin, who
was an officer in it for four years,
that the attendance was larger than
at any previous session In town. 1t
was very pleasant occasion and
all the officers were re elected, this
writer holding the place 10 which
Bro. McFerrin nominated him
year ago. Every county should
have such an association, all the
churches taking an interest in it.
Saturday night found me at Jim
Manson's, who has quite number
of cousins near GAINESVILLE. 1t is
the same little ssbird's nest" of a
place on the Stones river battle
ground that wrote of last year.
One of Bro. Manson's hands was
choppiIg wood last week, and in
the middle of big limb he found |
an embedded bomb-shell, which
made sad havoc of his axe. 1t had
lodged in d green tree and the wood
had entirely grown over it. Mine
host raised three thousand bushels
of Irish potatoes the last season from
which he is realizing about two
thousand dollars. He gave me all
his points on cultivation, and l
want to begin small experiments
next spring.
Sunday morning after taking
leave of very small congregation,
I started to an afternoon appoint
ment and stopped at four places on
the route, and was just before, or
just after everybody's dinner, and
was too modest to explain, or too
impatient to wait, and SO preached
at three O'Clock in state of hunger
bordering on the ravenous. How
ever, we had full and humorous |
explanation at Tom Bass sumptu-
GUS supper table.
am glad that like Bro. Gold, L
have II strong buggy. 1t was made
to order for uncle Plummer Will
liams, and l bought it at the ad-
illustrators sale. Stopping at
Frank Washington's this morning,
/ took in five bushels of wheat, and
as Ransom's mill was on the way |
home, it was soon converted into
flour. On entering the mill l asked
the miller if the body of the man
drowned up the river on Saturday
evening had been found. He said
it had not, and while we were talk
ing little boy ran in and told us it |
was floating in the mill-pond. We
drew the CHASTITY remains to the
shore, and it was sad sight. John
B. Smith, aged fifty, with a large
family, had left MurfreesbOro late
Saturday evening, and in a state of
intoxication had tried to ford the
river, which he Was warned against,
he lost his balance and was drown
ed. left the Coroner's jury MAX
ing up its verdict. [ would not be
the man who sold him the whisky
for all the money in his cash drawer.
Will we ever wake up to the enOr-
nifty of this evil? Not soon, am
afraid. One house in our county |
town few Saturdays ago sold sew
en- hundred and fifty dollars worth
of whisky, but the tears and agony
resulting from the transaction are
not enumerated. J. w. G.. /
