vile, delivered two very able and ia.
teresting lectures on Prohibition at the
Christian Church in this place last
Sunday afternoon and evening. His
talks were eloquent with stubborn facts,
his reasoning logical, and his argu-
ments strong and forcible. He hans
died the liquor traffic without gloves,
and yet with the utmost courtesy to
those engaged in it. He INDUCED con.
siderable wit and sarcasm on the subs

The Harter Medicine Co. St.
Louis, Mo-, commence this week their
advertisement Of Harter's Iron Tonic.
While this house is one of the most
successful and most prosperous in the
United States, their medicine is still
more so, and thousands and thousands
of people who have been cured of their
various ills by the use Of it, would rise
up and testify Of its merits if they
could be reached. We know of no
medicine that we can so safely recon.
mend to our readers.
Col. G. Marchbanks, of Sparts,
on his return from Nashville Wednes.
day, spent theevening in McMinnville.
He is becoming very much interested
in jersey cattle, and contemplates at
an early date, starting heard on his
farm. We concur in the ColonePs
views on this question, that thorough.
breds will pay better than scrubs, and
that it is Improbable to attempt to
compete with the West in growing
grain for market at present probable
prices. His idea is to grow grass and
feed it to thoroughbreds. The Colonels
views are correct. and if adopted will
doubtless prove success.
Col. w. G. Payne, of Chattanoo.
ga, whose name we announce as q can.
dldate for Congress from this district
to succeed Genl. Dlbrell, who has so
faithfully and efficiently filled that
Office for manyIyears, is not stranger
to many of the older citizens of this
county. He was educated at Irving
College many years ago, when that
institution was one of the leading
schools of the south, and annually sent
out many young men who became
prominent in their professions and sue
cessful in business. He was also States
Attorney for the Sparta district at the
time Hon. E. l.. Gardenhire was
Judge of that district. At that time,
Mr.. Payne bore the reputation of a
gentleman of the highest order, and
we presume he yet maintains that rep
utation. We regard him as a good
man, worthy the confidence and sups
! port of his district.
