More Fuss and Feathers.

The Tullahoma correspondent of
the Nashville American is rare
genius. Ifthere is no possible chance
to find anything in Tullahoma to
write about, he goes off to neighbor-
ing counties thusly:
"TULLAHoMA, Tenn, March g.
A gentleman of this city is now en-
gagged in turning the attention of
some of our moneyed men TO a salt
well in Warren County that has lain
dormant for twenty-five years.
Twenty-siX years ago this enterprise
was operated by the Government and
after the war was continued by the
owners. Large quantities of salt
were produced daily from this well,
but Michigan saltmen, feeling the
effect of the output of the well, COM
bined and paid the owner handsome
sum Of money to close il down for n
period OF twenty years. NOW II is
proposed to again open this well and
throw its product on the market. a
gentleman in this city has secured an
optional lease on the well, and
claims to have enlisted the substan-
tial sympathy of several wealthy
men in the enterprise. It is claimed
that this salt is equal TO any salt
mined in Michigan"
IF Tullahoma capitalists can stirup
any more cash than they have urgent
needs for at home, we can point
them out several more promising
enterprises here than the above
described "hole III the ground"

Doctors and Hot Springs.

Hot Springs failed entirely to cure me OF
several terrible, indolent running ulcers on
my legs, with which have been troubled
for many years. Several doctors also at.
tempted to cure me but failed. have used
only few bottles of B. B. B. (made at At.
lanta, Ga and the effect has been truly
magical as they have all healed and am
cured. 1t is worth all medicines made fol
purifying the blood. This wonderfully
quick cure has been effected after every.
thing else had failed. Your medicine is q
daisy, and has done the business for me.
have lived here twenty-five years. My gen.
eral health is also improving, appetite and
digestion good. Isleep soundly, and never
felt better. Doctors told me that could
not be cured, but B. B. B. has cured me.
1t is decidedly the quickest, best and
cheapest blood purifier ever used. 1t is
ahead of all others. AS to my case and its
cure refer to every merchant or profession

cULLIBlLIrY.

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries of
a worthless humbug can make money by i'm.
posing upon the credulty and ignorance OF
an honest public, and the supply of this
species of work seems more than an ade.
quate demand The enunciation of facts
facts that have stood crucial tests-facts
proven by brain force and tangible eyi.
dence should satisfy all laudable enterprises;
but the execrsble practice of teaching false
ideas and doctrines for self.aggrandizemen
is truly repre- hensible and should be scorned
by all classes.
When one house tells you that Iodide OF
Potash is poison simply because their op.
ponents use it, and because they are pander
ing to your ignorance, as they suppose, you
should look upon all such as arrant frauds
and their remedies as unworthy of public
confidence, and if those who make such as
sertions do not know better, they are a set
of unenyiahle ignoramuses

FROM THE STATE
PRESS.

Pikeville News: Maj. Thomas says
he expects to ride into Pikeville on a
locomotive before Xmas.
Murfreesboro News: The ground
hog was seen out of his hole last Mon.
day. This is a sign that we will not
have any snow next summer.
State and Farm, Mar. 3D.: The
first shipment of coal from Bon Air
was made Wednesday to Sparta
which was sold at 10 cents per bush
ell.
South Pitts urg Standard The
Memphis & Charleston Railroad
officials are negotiating bonds to
build the road from Stevenson to
Chattanooga, or at least that is the
report.
Memphis Avalanche: 1t is for the
tax assessor to carry out law, not to
make it. But the law does not
contemplate raise of values purely
for the sake of raising them. Equali-
ty is the main thing.
Tracy City News: Nine or ten
revenue officers were in town last
week. In addition to the arrest al
ready noted, they raided three stills
in active operation and made two or
three more arrests. The delinquents
are to be tried at McMinnville.
GAINESVILLE Chronicle:
It's good time now to plant your squash,
To hoe your garden, and use white.wash,
To prepare for summer-to live at your ease
To pizen bed.bugs and head off the fieas,
To grub old stumps, work around roots,
To see to the orchard, to secure its fruits,
To attend to your businessmen be lazy,
To avoid the danger of going stone crazy.
Shelbyville Gazette: Governor
Taylor may have made some mis-
takes during his administration, but
what assurance have we that other
gentlemen who are now seeking the
Governors Office would not do
likewise, if any of them were elected.
We understand it to be human to err
State and Farm: Everything
points the early extension of the Bon
Air Railroad, either to some point
on the Cincinnati Southern road, OF
to connect with the Sequachee Val
ley road. Which ever way it may
go, Sparta is better located than any
other town to receive the benefit Of
it.
Tullahoma Guardian: Our citizens
are responding literally to the cal
for subscriptions of stock to the G. &
B. railroad, and Messrs. Fariss anG
Gray, of the soliciting committee, are
greatly encouraged with the expec
tation that the full amount will b'
forthcoming within the next week Of
two. AT no time has the enthusiasm
of our citizens been greater nor theil
confidence stronger in the final con
summation of this grand enterprise
All are feeling personal interest il
its success.

THE newspapers ofthis State which
opposed the amendment in the pro-
hibition campaign last year are about
the only ones which have paid any
attention to the alleged prohibition
convention in Nashville. They are
considerably chagrinned because the

this ignis fatuus, and have been de-
prived of the qualification of saying

IT Is expected that the Tennessee
Midland Railroad will be in operation
from Memphis to Jackson by the
first of May, and it is reported that
the management will fix the passen-
ger rate over their line at cents per
mile. The tendency of all the South
ern railroads is toward the reduction
of passenger fare.

THE Ways and Means Committee,
by a party vote, has added the reve-
nue. bill to the tariff bill, making one
bill ofboth. Itremoves all taxes from
tobacco and snuff, and reduces the
special privilege tax on tobacco and
cigar dealers to $1.0O per annum. 1t
corrects many of the abuses of the
laws relative to brandy distillers, but
does not remove any of the tax. If
the bill should be passed it would
stop the ubiquitous practice Of arrest
ing and dragging to Federal Court
hundreds Of innocent citizens, and
many others guilty Of mere trivial
offences
