No person should go longer than
week without bathing the entire
body. Some persons make it q rule
to take bath every day. which is
better, but the great majority Of man.
kind cannot make it convenient to do
so. We believe that fevers could be
prevented nearly altogether by pro-
per bathing aud correct diet. Every
family, hotel and boarding-house
should have bathing facilities Of some

Democratic DOines.

The representative Democracy of
Blount County met in Maryville
Monday and held caucus rather
on the secret order. 1t became
known in the evening that they
had pursued a definite policy of
action for the coming campaign.
j. w. Martins name for Circuit
Court Clerk was withdrawn from
the race AMI the name Of Il. n.
Smith was put in its place, and re-
ceived the Endorsement of the
caucus. There was some other i'm
portant business transacted, which
will be made known later in the
canvass. 1t is apparent from all
indications that they are making
preparations for trading. The race
evidently is to push Anderson for
Sheriff and Smith for Circuit Court
Clerk, at the expense of the rest of
the ticket.

After careful nursing he was re-
stored to consciousness and is out
Of danger, but is unable to tell how
the accident occurred.
The Issue, the State temperance
organ, says that Maryville will
hold six-days' temperance camp
meeting and that number of big
speakers will be present. After
considerable inquiry we discover
that nobody here knows anything
about it. Will the Issue please in
form us of the particulars.
Jeff Kidd met with an accident
last Friday morning, which came
near proving serious. He had har-
messed his horses to his hack to
start for Maryville. After seating
himself in the hack and starting
from the barn lot, his horses be-
came frightened and turning sud-
denly upset the hack and threw
him under the bed. In dragging
about one hundred feet he was
bruised and skinned up somewhat.
The accident might have proved
much more serious had he not been
released just at that time.
Last Friday evening the X. & A.
brought in fifteen passenger and
freight coaches, largely to carry
passengers to Knoxville. This is
principally to the interest of the
business men of that place, who
use all honorable means to secure
the trade of Blount County. They
advertise largely, make arrange
ments with railroads, and are work.
ing largely to build wagon roads,
so that the people may be enabled
to 60 there to trade. The business
men of Maryville should resort to
some such means, or their trade
may leave them.

Danger from Electro Currents.

It is not probable that an estimate of
the danger point of a current can be
made by a calculation Of the energy in
vOlved. 1t is absolutely certain that
quite powerful current can be taken
through the body provided it be per-
fectly steady, while a fluctuating cur
rent of much smaller intensity may
prove fatal. The one implies the steady
passage of energy through the person,
while the other implies series of
shocks. A single blow may prove fatal,
but succession of them will be more
likely to do so. A single flash of light
ming may kill or in some cases char the
body to cinder, and succession of q
thousand or more shocks a second from
a mechanical generator of electricity
may prove no less dangerous. In short,
the danger lies more in the discontinuity
of the current than in its absolute in.
tensity
