The weather continues very unfa-
vorable, and farmers are getting rest
less.
Since the snow went off wheat is
looking very we'll.
But little corn is being sold in this
section. Farmers sell only enough
to buy the goods they actually need.
1t is selling here at 50 cents.
Money is scarce in this section, but
we have plenty of hog and hominy.
This is about all we can boast of ex-
cept good health. M.

was anything to equal it. Would to God
that every afflicted woman in our land knew
of its wonderful virtues and curative powers
as do. have used great deal of it since
the birth of my last child, about year and

for this valuable medicine l would have

But thanks to a kind Providence, was di.

admit of it would never be without it in
my house.
have recommended it to a number of
my friends, and without exception they
have all been wonderfully relieved and
cured, give this Endorsement without So
IicitatiOn and freely, for the benefit of the

Very Respectfully,

Public Roads.

Under recent order passed by the Board
of County Commissioners in regard to Su-
pervisors working roads, after the date OF
this they will be required TO be at their post
of duty by7 o'clock, A. NJ, and continue
their work until o'clock, p NJ, with one
hours intermissiop at noon, TOR the reason
that the people who are taxed for working
the roads have frequently, while travelling
the roads, seen Supervisors getting to work
at a very late hour and stopping before they
have made days work, and unless they
make full time they viii not be allowed fol
a full days work, whenever it is brought to
the knowledge of the Board.
There is great deal of complaint made
against the Board Of County Commission
ers about bad roads; that so much mon ey
has been expended and no benefit derived
from it. That may all be true, whilst the
fault is not altogether with the Board OF
Commissioners. We frequently notice, In
travelling the county roads, that farmers who
have lands adjoining said roads are in the
habit of cleaning up their fence rows and
throwing all shrubs and bushes that may be
along said fences into the side drains, and
sometimes fell tree alongside OF road,
thus stopping the water, which consequent
ly goes down the centre of the road. The
result is we work our roads with three
bitches, tho largest in the centre of the road
So in great many cases the Supervisors
spend as much time and money to clean the
rubbish from side-d-ains as it takes to mend
the roads, and so goes the money.
Now it is ordered by this Board that it
shall be the duty Of all Supervisors to in
dict before the Grand Jury any such party
or parties so offending.
BY order: JOS A. TANEY,
Clerk to County Commissioners.

In the Cumberland Mountains.

Meanwhile the darkness was falling.
and the scenery along the road grew
wikier and grander. A terrific storm
had swept over these heights, and the
great trees lay uptorn and PROSTATE in
every direction, or reeled and fell
against each other like drunken giants
"a scene of fearful elemental violence.
On the SUBMITS one sees the tan-bark
oak; lower down, the white oak; and
lower yet, fine specimens of yellow pop
lar; while from the valleys to the crests
is a dense and varied underground,
save where the ground has been
burnt over year after year, to kill it ont
and improve the grazing. Twenty
miles to the southeast we had seen
through the pale-tinted air the waving
line of Sellico Mountains, in Tennessee.
Away to the north lay the Beaver Creek
and the lower Cumberland, while in
front of us rose the craggy, scowling
face of Anvil Rock, commanding Il
view of Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Virginia. The utter silence and heart
depressing repose of primeval nature
was around us. The stark white and
gray trunks of the immemorial forest
dCiI IiIlhCb Ho W tilC INV IOlslOIC past
The air seemed to blow upon us from
over regions illimitable and uneXplored,
and to be fraught with unutterable sug-
gestions. The full-moon swung itself
aloft over the sharp touchings of the
green with spectral pallor; and the
eVening-star stood lustrous on the
western horizon in depths of blue as
cold as a sky of Landseer, except where
brushed by tremulous shadows of rose
on the verge of the sunlit world A bat
wheeled upward in fantastic curves out
of his undiscovered glade. And the
soft tinkle of single cow-bell far be-
low marked the invisible spot of some
lonely human habitation. By-and-by
we lost sight of the heavens altogether,
so dense and interlaced the forest. The
descent of the hack appeared to be in
to steep abyss of gloom; then all at
once we broke from the edge of the
woods into flood of moonlight; at our
feet were the whirling, foaming rapids
of the river; in our ears was the near
roar of the cataract, where the bow
crowned mist rose and tioated upward
and away in long trailing shapes of
ethereal lightness.
The Cumberland River runs and
and throws itself over the rocks here
with a fall of seventy feet or perpen-
dicular descent of sixty-two, making a
mimic but most beautiful Niagara.
Just below, Eagle Falls drops over its
precipice in lawny cascade. The roar
of the cataract, under favorable condi-
tions, may be heard up and down
stream a distance of ten or twelve miles.
You will not find in mountainous Ken
lucky more picturesque spot The
hotel stands neal the very verge of the
waters; and the mountains, rising one
above another around, shut it in with
infinite security from all the world
