IrNMIsTAKABLY HEREDITARY.

We got some of Swift's Specific and gave it to this case, and in a short tune if was cured sound and well. It was as had n case. think, as l ever saw, and had been under excellent physicians, with no permanent benefit; We have been giving it to all the children as a beoltb tone. We have four children and one seamstress who, for years have suffered intensely every spring with erysipelas, and though they have been taking Swift's Specific only i'll small doses as a health tonic, they all, with out exception, have passed through thls spTing without a touch of this trouble.
 A young lady of the institution, Who has been with us for years, has been troubled with a most aggravated rash aver since she was child. She tried ali tbe known remedies that are pre- scribed M for it with no benefit; but she has been cured by taking Swift's Sspe- c;fic % and has no return of the trouble.

WE believe that the convention to- day will act fairly and squarely with
 all candidates, for the best interests of the party. There are great many men who are too willing to cry out "fraud" and "trickery,' and we hope the delegates will be closely guarded in
 what they may say or do, Do no act which might lead to any further dis ruption. Let all make up their minds to abide the result, and don't allow a personal preference to be the cause for a break of good faith. The time has come when we must expect to make sacrifices if we shall succeed. Let this not be scramble for office on the part of any individual, but let every indiyid- ual go into the convention determined that the democratic party must win.

SHOOTING AFFAIR AT ROUND KNOB.
On Thursday evening. as the east
bound train rolled up to Round
Knob Hotel, D. S. Carraway, editor
of the Jefferson County Visitor, of
Messy Creek, stepped out of the car,
and no sooner had he landed upon
the platform of the hotel than he
drew a pistol and fred at J. H. Mil
ster, the barkeeper at the hotel, who
was standing near the door of his
saloon. AS soon as he saw Carra-
way coming from the car, Mister
started to run, and Carraway fred
at him while he was running.
After the first short Carraway ran
down the steps and fred a second
time at Mister through the bar win
dow, and kept up his pursuit after
the object of his enmity until ]. he
was stopped by Mr.. Sprague and
Mrs, Spragua, the latter Carraway's g
sister. Mister was not hit. The
cause of the shooting was alleged
criminal intimacy between Nils er
and Carraway's wife. Carraway
claims to have positive proof of the
intimacy. Mister took to the woods,
and ~GarraWay's people persuaded
him to leave on the return train for
Tennessee. The affair naturally
