Messrs. Lowell & Murray, of the
large railroad contracting firm of
Lowell, Murray &c Co., of Chicago,
arrived here Sunday night, and were
all day yesterday in close conference
with President Robt. P. Sjbley, OF
the Georgia Construction company.
They examined thoroughly The pro
file cf the Carolina, Knoxville and
Western to Greenville, and the con-
tinuation of the road from that point
to Knoxville, Tenn. Negotiations
were opened, and it is more than
propablc that Mcssrs. Lowell and
Murray will contract for all or a
portion of the road. The road being
graded from Augusta almost to
Greenville, it more than probable
that track will be Laid and this end
operated, SO as to enable the con-

The mercury yesterday morning

The sickness which has caused
several deaths in Asheville,-not'
the fifteen as reported nor the half
of that numbers not contagious.
1t has been caused by exposure
during the recent severely wet days,
and other imprudences, intensi-
fed by the condition of the system.
The system should be kept regu-
lats1, and all exposure, specially
to cold drafts, wet feet &c avoided.
The bright, dry weather we are now
having will prove . great relief, but,
people need not expect to keep well
who are undmindful of the most
ordinary requirements for health.
Tho Charleston Is. c. NcaOs and
Courier says:
"For twenty years back We haye
seen the most noted actresses Of
Miss Putnam's school, and all
schools approximating to it. and
we have passed that time of life
when youthful enthusiasm would
run SO mad with the beauty of a
woman or permit us to fall in love
with her for the character she per
sonates. We therefore feel justified
in speaking earnestly of Miss Put
nam As an artistic. She cannot he
excelled in her particular roles. We
are utterly unable to do her justice
She must be seen to be appreciated.
She also has the most creditable
support of any Of the companies
that have visited Us this season.

sickness in the Country.

Reports from the country indicate that
there is at this time more than the usual
amount of sickness prevailing. Most of
these troubles seem to arise from an i'm
pure condition of the blood, caused by
an excessive secretion of bile. This
causes fever Of bilious character, and
we regret to say in some places it has
proved very fatal. We therefore offer
hi, gratuitous advice to those not yet
afflisted: Keep your liver in a healthy
condition, and your blood rich and pure.
Good blood mans good health, whilst
bad blood bad health. Hart's Blood and
Liver Pills are entirely vegetable, md
are just the pills needed at this season
of the year.
