BLOOD AND MONEY.

The blood of man has much to do in shap-
ing his actions during his prilgrimage
through this troublesome world, regardless
of the amount of present or eXpectantmoney
in pocket or stored away in bank. 1t is a
conceded fact that we appear as our blood
makes us, and the purer the blood, the hap
pier, healthier, prettier and wiser we are !;
hence the oft repeated interrogatory, show
is your bloodW With pure streams of life
giving fluid coursing through our hearts
and ploughing through our physical frames,
our morals become better, our constitution
stronger, our intellectual faculties more
acute and grander, and men, women and
children happier, healthier and more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the unparel-
leled curative powers, and the unmistakable
proof from those of unimpeachable charac-
ter and integrity, point with an unerring
finger to B. b. B.-Botanic Blood Balm-as
for the best, the cheapest, the quickest and
the grandest and most powerful blood reme-
dy ever before known to mortal man, in the
relief and positive cure of Scrofula, Rheu-
matism, Skin diseases, all taintS of blood
poison, Kidney complaints, old ulcers and
sores, cancers, catarrh, etc.
B. B. B. is only about three years old-a
baby In age, a giant in power-but no reme-
dy in America can make or ever has made
such wonderful showing in its magical
powers in curing and entirely Graduating
the above complaints, and gigantic sales in
the face of frenzed opposition and would
be moneyed monopolists.
Letters from all points where introduced
are pouring in upon us, speaking in its loud
est praise. Some say they receive more
benefit from one bottle of B. B. B. than they
have from twenty, thirty and fifty and even
one hundred bottles of boosted decoction
of inert and non-medicinal roots and branch
es of common forest trees. We hold the
proof in black and white, and we also hold
the fort. 1l

Tullahoma Guardian: So far as we
are able to judge, Gen. Dibrell is re-
ally as strong in East Tennessee as
either of its local aspirants, Bob Tay-
lor not excepted. In every county
where the delegates have been in
structed for either of the East Ten
nessee candidates, General Dibrell is
the second choice, and, from the tone
of the newspapers, we suspect that he
is really the first choice, even in
counties which have, on account Of
local pride more than anything else,
instructed their delegates for Taylor
or Williams or Mcconnell or some
other local candidate.

The Weekly Budget of News from a

scribing himself "Crusoe," for some
cause took it in hand to speak rather
tauntingly of our country merchants,
but more especially of Irving College
and its founders, in your last weeks
issue. Surely man who could see
so many passingly wonderful things
to report in passing through a evil
derness" must in times past, have
been regularly employed and re-
tanned reporter to "dime novel She
bang" &.Gl& &&
Yes, there is "a corn field near the
college, but just how this could de-
tract from the merit of the institu-
ton 1 fail. to see. That wonderful re-
porter tells us he saw the College,
yes, actually gotit in line with a row
of corn and saw it. Well, if hisstom-
ach and head were as full of "apple-
jack" as his remarkable pen-produc-
ton, 1t would be doing him an in
justice to suppose that he could see
anything else than monkeys and
snakes. 4 n,E S a.
And he wants to know what asy-
lum holds the man or men who
founded the College in such Evil
derness." They have long since en-
tered that asylum into which but few
have passport-da honored Craze!
And now honored Representatives Of
this institution are found all over the
South, who deem it no disgrace to
have been educated at an institution
which "Crusoe" saw along "corn
row."
The College was not located at Nc
Minnville for various reasons, some
of which an intellect not the most
discerning might see on a moments
reflection. McMinnville already had
her schools and did not need another
located there, but the country did
| need such a school, and there are hun
dreds of persons who are fools enough
to believe that q school can be made
a success located without the pale of
allof those damnable influences that
cluster around the depot side of rail-
road town. t
And now / am happy to report a
good school at the College and am of
the opinion that it will run on just as
if "Crusoe' had never made such q
cOndescension as to look upon the in
stitution at the distance of one quar-
ter of mile. 1t will be the endeavor
of the teachers to impart many valu-
able lessons to the students, and
among other things they will be
taught never to NEEDLE with things
that do not concern them.

WATER FOR THE BENCH.

Every body will heave sigh of relief
as they read the report and recommen-
dation presented and adopted in the
City Council on Tuesday night, regard
ing water for the north bench. The
plan adopted is one which THE HERALD
advocated years ago, and il is certainly
the best, considering the condition of
the corporation treasury, and the city's
water resources. The scheme contem-
plates the putting in of q stand
pipe a mile or such a matter above the
settling tanks at the head of the water
works and the conveying of water
through pipes TO the north bench. 1t Is
not proposed t. supply water for irri-
cation. but merely for domestic pur-
poses. though it is thought that per-
haps until August there will be sufi-
cient water in City Creek to allow the
north benchers what they will require
for their gardens and trees. Water for
drinking and house uses Is what
the people OF that section of
the city have been clamoring
for. and what they will soon have, their
parched and thirsty region being placed
on an equal footing with other parts of
the towS- Nobody will begrudge the
expenditure Of the money necessary to
relieve the distress OF the long suffering
ifnot always patient people living above
the water line
The other improvement contemplated
by the city is one which will also re
ceIye the hearty approval of the people.
The principal main is 10 be carried up
the canyon about 200 feet, the size be
ing increased from 20 inches to "a and
30 inches. This will increase the pres
sure throughout the city to something
like it was in the early days of the
water works. As the mains have been
extended and tapped, and the service
increased, the pressure has steadily
diminished, until to day the engine has
to be employed to force water
through the hose at points where,
a few years ago, il was diffi-
cult TO get hose that would stand
the pressure of the. direct flow from
the hydrants. The value of the i'm
proyement will be best understood by
the firemen.
THE HERALD hopes the work will be
prosecuted vigorously and especially
that of putting in a main to supply the
north bench. There is no reason why
the Improvements should net De com
pleted and their benefits enjoyed early
this season.
