THE NOMINEE.

The American of Thursday gives
Dthe following biographical sketch of
Hon. Robert l.. Taylor, the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor of Ten
neSsee:
"Robert Il. Taylor is a native of
Carter county and is 36 years old.
He comes of a distinguished family,
his father having been a noted orator
and leading politician of the State
previous to the war and his mother a
sister to the celebrated Landon C.
Haynes. He was raised on a farm
and entered politics in 1876 when he
was elected to Congress over Petit
bone in recognized Republican dis
trict. 1t was in this contest that he
made his mark. He opposed one Of
the most bitter and most powerful
Republicans in Tennessee and beard
ed him in his own den, a Republican
stronghold. The campaign which
this youthful, untried Democrat made
against the trained political athlete
has become a part of the history of
Tennessee, which Democrats love to
remember. This canvass stamped
Bob Taylor as splendid stump ora
tor-many believe the best in the
State. In the celebrated senatorial
canvass in which Howell f. Jackson
was made United States Senator, he
was made the candidate of East Ten
nessee for the position, receiving
forty-eight votes on several ballots,
when it only required fifty-one to
elect. In 1882, in the convention
which unified the Wright and Wilson
wings of the Democratic party, he
was the candidate of East Tennessee
for Governor, and at one time came
near defeating Gen. w. B. Bate, the
nominee. In 1884 he was East Ten
nessee's candidate for elector for the
State at large, was nominated by ac-
clamation, and received the largest
vote on the Democratic electoral
ticket. So that in every State con-
test during the past six years he has
been East Tennessee's representative.
He is brother of the Republican
nominee, Hon. Alfred A. Taylor.
He is conspiciously the candidate of
the young Democracy. The vote last
night showed that he has more
strength than any man in the guber-
material race. He is man ofwonder-
ful magnetism. Once his friend you
are always his friend. The enthusi-
asm which his name aroused in the
convention and the solid, steadily
increasing phalanx which stood at
his back were evident to all.

POliceman's Views.

Mrs. NJ. NJ. Prince, living at 9S West Fair
st. Atlanta, Ga, has been troubled for sew
eral months with an ugly form of catarh,
attended with copious and offensive dis
charge from both nostrils;
Her system became SO affected and re-
duced that she was confined to bed at my
house for some time, and received the atten'
ton of three physicians, and used dozen
bottles of an extensively advertised blood
remedy, all without the least benefit.
She finally commenced the use of B. B. B.
with decided improvement at once, and
when ten bottles Mad been used, she was en-
tirely cured of all symptoms of catarrh.

her strength rapidly, and cheerfully rec.

Change in Dress Cutting.

French dresSmakers have made change in
their way of cutting waists. They now dis
pense with all darts, even for stout figures,
and the waists sit like glove. These waists
are usually open over plastron. There is
small side piece under the arm, and then
front piece cut bias and fastened to the plas-
iron by seam which extends from the neck
down to the basque, and gives shape to the
waist. The seam is indispensable, as it re.
places the darts Striped fabrics are par
ticularly well suited to this kind of waist, be
cause the front is cut bias and sewed to the
plastron, which is straight. The plastror
may be of the same goods, but it is better Il
have it of striped or ribbed material, for ther
the contrast between the straight and bias
goods is more marked Waists for young
ladies are very low in the neck, but they
have small guimpes underneath of tule lace
plated on the shoulder and draped on the
inside of the waist. There are also "corse
let's" which are taken under the arm. but
these also have guimpes of plated crepe lisse
Best Cure of All for Marbles.
Cattle are now being troubled with war
bles-grubs in the back. Get small glass
syringe, the smallest size, and some sweet
apex of the little mounds on the cows back,
and squirt the oil in on the grubs. This will
bring them away without injury to the COW,
but we will not answer for the advice of
many of our contemporaries who suggest the
use of kerosene oil. That is most too irritat-
ing on raw and sore spot. Sweet oil will
answer the same purpose, for it is equally
death to the grub and is not apt to make
such a troublesome sore.
The Eggs That Never Hatch.
There's young man on the corner,
Filled with life and strength and hope,
Looking far beyond the present,
With the whole world in his scope
He is graspmg at tomorrow,
That phantom none can catch;
To-day is lost, He's waiting ..
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's an old man over yonder
With a worn and weary face.
With searching, anxious feature,
And weak, uncertain race.
He is living in the future,
With no desire to catch
The golden now He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
There's world of men and women,
With their LIES work yet undone,
Who are sitting, standing, moving
Beneath the same great sun;
Ever eager for the future,
But not content to snatch
The present They are waiting .
For the eggs that never hatch.

BLOOD AND MONEY

The blood of man has much to do in shap-
ing his actions during his pilgrimage
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 interogatorv, show
is your bloodp 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 RENE
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 a wonderful showing in its magical
powers in curing and entirely eradcating
the above complaints, and gigantic sales in
the face of frenzied 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
