PITrsBURG, Dec A special from Oil
City, Pa, says: The Standard Oil company
has scheme under way to pipe natural gas
for heating and illuminating purposes to Buff

from the Nenango district to Cory and from
thence to Buffalo. At Cory will be
placed the pumping machinery necessary to
force the gas on to its destination. The ma

A Song of Gratitde.

In olden times Bethesda's pool
Was famed for healing all diseases
Once plunged beneath its waters cool,
Each evil, stain and sickness ceases.
In modern days we find cure,
OF worth as rare, as much deserving;
A remedy safe, quick and sure,
DR.. Richmond's Samaritan Nervine.
For Epilepsy, Spasms, Fever, Collie, Cramps,
Coughs, Colds, or any kind of Phthysic,
Its merits as leader stamps
1t far above all other physics.
1t goes at once right to the spot
Where turks the danger, never swerving,
In all the world perhaps there's not
A cure like DIR. RichmonG'S Nervine.
AS in the blood diseases lie;
Each artery, each vein, each curve in
There's nothing makes i'll humor fly,
Like the Samaritan Nervine.
For old or young, for rich or poor,
Whatever class of life you serve in,
To health wide open is the door,
From the Samaritan Nervine.
Then do you value strength and health,
And think these blessings worth preserY-
Ing,
Better than all Golconda's wealth,
Is DR.. Richmond's Samaritan Nervine.

The August Crop Report.

The crop report of August from the
Agricultural Bureau of Washington,
shows an increased good prospect for
corn all over the United States, the
only thing left to affect it being early
frosts in the northwest.
But there is no doubt about wheat,
as reports are in from all parts, and
the crop is fully harvested. The
losses from last winter about equals
the amount usually exported, so if
there is any export demand, it must
come from the surplus left over from
last years crop. 1t requires three
hundred and twenty million bushels
for home consumption and for sowing
next fall, This will leave only about
thirty to forty million bushels to
spare to foreign countries. This,
with the surplus left over last year,
will not be enough to supply the
largest demand for expectation. Thus
as soon as signs of depletion begin to
show, as it will inevitably, the price
will rise. Ifany of our readers are
fortunate enough to have any wheat
on hand, they will run no risk in
keeping it, and may get a handsome
advance on present prices.
According to returns, cotton is bet
ter at present than at any time in
ten years heretofore. The condition
Of the crop is better, and fewer insects
have deprecated it than usual.

Pulaski Citizen: Mr.. Tyree last
week shipped the largest log ever
handled in Giles county. 1t weighed
1860 pounds and scaled to cut 2lO6
feet of lumber. He hauled it two
miles from Mr.. Ed. Buford's place to
the station with his four Norman
horses. He has never before moved
such alog but has always found eight
ordinary draughs horses necessary to
move one approaching its size.
Lebanon Register: 1t seems that
the manufacturers who imported for
eign labor a few years ago, because
they could not afford to pay Ameri-
cans the wages they demanded, are
now repenting the step, as these for
eigners are the leaders in the strike
for higher wages. No matter for
them. Their rule for the protection
of the home interests should apply to
American labor as well as to Ameri-
can goods.
MurfreesbOro Free Press: The
Spring Hill correspondent of the Co
lumbia Herald writes that w. l..
Wilks has sold to Mr.. Noble, of Gin

of SO, 900 cash, and is at no expense
for gathering or shipping them.
How does this compare with the

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

Nashville Union: 1t has come
to be a well developed fact that the
"prominent Democrats who are dis
satisfied with the administration" are
merely office seekers who found that
their talents were not in demand.
Sparta Expositor: The Reunion of
the Sth Tennessee Cavalry has been
postponed until the I'd day of Octo-
Der next, being the second day Of the
fair at Cookville, Putnam county,
where the Reunion is to be. Every
soldier that ever belonged to the regi-
ment is earnestly requested to be
present.
Union City Advance: Comptroller
Pickard, thinks the necessity for bor-
rowing money to pay off the interest
on the State debt will not arise. Col
lections are good and sufficient he
thinks to meet all obligations. This
will be satisfactory to all good citi-
zens, and coming from so high an Of
fetal, will doubtless send up Tennes-
see bonds a little.
Nashville Union: For somemonths
past negotiations have been pending
between Mr.. w. H. Cherry and DIR.
VIM. Morrow in reference to the dis
posal of the formers interest in the
firm of Cherry, Morrow & Co., he de-
string to retire from business on ac-

The Biggest Show That Ever Exhibited
Here.

There is no class of amusement
which may be called universal, we
verify believe, unless it is the circus.
To be universal is to be in demand
and to be pleasing, and to possess sew
eral other attributes good and COM
mendable. Circuses, like all things
else, are graded; man has his equal,
his inferior, and his superior, and
circuses have the same. But we did
not sit down to write of circuses in
particular, the Sells Brothers Mon
ster Menagerie and Great Quadruple
Circus, which will spread its noun
tains of tents and give two exhibit
ions at McMinnville on Monday, Sep
TENDER IA, 1885. For immensely
completeness, perfection, and all
things which go to make up a great
show, we commend the above. Its
menagerie is the very best and largest
ever seen. Fifty huge cages of wild
animals, embracing all the species
known to zoology, are to be found in
it. DrOves of animals, herds of ami
mails, and hundreds of led animals,
which, as matter of course, are not
included. The only living pair of
hippOpotami ever beheld in captivi-
ty by man is to be seen with the Sells
show also-a wonder so strange as to
stand out as the great unduplicated
feature of the age.
Among the many surprises will be
discovered some splendid specimens
of the giraffe, tall, graceful, perfect
brutes, whose like are to be seen now
here else, and countless other wond-
ers, too numerous to mention.
Among the 200 all-star performers
of the arenic department of the great
shows, we note the following list of
names, which to classify properly our
vocabulary furnishes but one word
greatest.
VIM. Sells, champion bareback RI
der of the world.
The wonderful Stirk Family, Eu-
ropes bicyclists.
Mr.. Frank H. Gardner, the cham
pion hurdlerider.
Mile Marietta, the flying queen.
Senior Don Jerenimo Bell, the
greatest of all four and six-horse ri
ders.
The Laslie Brothers, head balan-
GERS.
Mile Adelaide Cordona, the cham
pion lady bareback rider of the earth.
Billy Burke, the king of clowns,
and his trained donkeys and geese.
Whole troupes ofacrObats, vaulters,
gymnasts, cOntortiOnists, jugglers,
etc. In short, the whole is a section
of wonderland, full, glorious, elegant
and complete.
Don't forget the date.
