SPARKS FROM THE MEETING.
After the reading of the report of
the committee, which embraced in
full the proposition of Mr.. Neal, Mr..
j. o. Rust made one of his character
istic, sound and logical speeches,
breaking "the golden silence" that
seemed 10 be lowering about the
meeting. lie said from the number
ofletters Mr.. Neal laid before the
committee, coming from presi-
dents of banks, merchants and others,
of Knoxville, if Mr.. Neal was not
all right, and his backers-the Amer
lean Association Limited, of London,
did not have real, sure enough
money, the people of Knoxville were
the biggest lot of prevaricators on
the earth. He was with the commit
tec.during its sittings, and had not
the least doubt that if the proposition
was accepted by the people that Mr..
Neal aud the Association represented
by him would fully carry out every
thing they agreed to.
Maj. Crumbaugh wanted to know
what was the estimated cost of the
road from Cairo TO Cum
berland Gap. Answer, 100000.
Mr. j, d, Russell thought the prop
osition was the best and most bust
ness like that had ever been sub

Gen. Harrison's letter of acceptance
has been givento the public. Hehas
evidently done his best, which ap-
pears to be but a weak effort to gen.

at the Mills bill and takes water on
the Chinese situation, as endorsed by
him in the past, and now says he il

TOBACCO NEWS.

The local tobacco market this weel
is unchanged.
About one-tenth of the present to-
bacco crop in this county has been
housed.
Capt. NJ. II, Clark, of GAINESVILLE,
says that in twelve months the visi-
BILE world supply of tobacco will be
the largest ever known. DR.. Wheel
er thinks that every farmer ought to
put in large crop next year.
The spell of dry weather we are
now enjoying makes glad the heart
of the farmer especially. While a
great deal of tobacco was completely
ruined by the recent drouth, yet
there is enough still on hand to make
fair crop if Jack Frost will only
defer his visit for a few weeks.
OUTLOOK FOR THIS YEAR.
Western Tobacco Journal, Sept. lOth.l
From all sections of the Leaf Tobac.
co belt we hear of rain, rain, rain,
and too much rain to insure the
barning of the whole crop before
frost is likely TO occur, and too much
rain for fine quality crop, especially
of Brights. That there will be
great quantity crop in the West, II
we pass September without frost
there can be no doubt, especially in
the Dark producing sections where
by the way, such crop is at least
desirable. To judge of the weight OF
the crop in some of the notable dark
producing sections of the West, it ia
estimated by one who seems to have
some knowledge Of the matter that
the Christian county crop will be
100000 pounds, more than double
what it has been heretofore, even
when it was tho "banner county" OF
Kentucky, and three times the yield
of Graves county, the banner county
last year. While this may be full
some estimate, yet it indicates the
crop will be an exceptionally good
one, and we hear the same from
Clarksvills and Nashville, (Tenn.)
Paducah and other Kentucky points
Of course if an early frost should
come it would materially reduce
these expectations, yet with great
deal already cut, and more to follow
this week, it is likely that a goodly
amount will assuredly escape the
frost, although it may be damaged
in the barn.
GAINESVILLE TOBACCO MARKET.
Tobacco Leaf.l
Receipts are small, but still som,
tobacco comes drifting in every week
The brakes, however, are more thai
half filed every week from the re
served stocks. The sales for the weel
will probably foot up $50 hogsheads
The market moves on without mate
rial change since the late decline II
values. Holders continue their Of
forts to close out the remnant of thei
lots or crops and accept the situation
seeing no prospect of an advance IL
the near future. The cropin the felt
is ripening and the early planting /
being cut. Our planters should no
mistake sap for substance, and Gu
their tobacco when half ripe only
The plant needs time to digest tn
sap the recent wet spell has filled i
with. The world needs a ripe crol
of leafy tobacco, and not half rip

With watermelons at two big ones
for nickel, it would hardly seem
that men would fall out about divid-
ing one of them, yet in Christian
County Harry Crave shot a man nam
ed Ballew to death over just such a
trivial misunderstanding. And this
reminds us that Christian is becoming
one ofthe most lawless counties in the
State. Hardly day passes that the
dailies do not contain dispatches
about somebody being killed or
wounded there Interior journal.
Just such misrepresentation as this
does our city and county great injus-
tice as well as injury. The shooting
scrape referred to above was commit
ted in Webster county, many miles
from here, yet was sent as special
from this place. No matter what
happens within radius of 40 miles
ii is sent from Hopkinsville as spec.
ial TO the dailies aud copied into
other papers without giving the loca-
ton of the happening. We regret
very much TO see Christian County
getting so much dangerous notoriety
caused by the anxiety of local cores
pondents to furnish the news 10 the
dailies.

Death a welcome ReIe p Sc.

Must it not be to those who endure life
long bodily suffering? From childhood to
old age many persons are tormented with
rheumatism and neuralgia. Ordinary med
ication and topical remedies are OF slight,
and always of temporary efficacy. To es-
cape the extreme tOrtures of these agOniz-
ing complaints they should be annihilated
at the outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which expels from the system the
acrid impurities that beges them. The evi-
dence as to its efficacy as a blood depurent
in this particular is very ample, and strong
forms of these diseases the nerves are terri
bly, racked. A wineglassful or two of the
Bitters before the hour of retiring usually
brings a respite from pain and enables the
sufferer to secure much needed reposc. For
kidney troubles, malarial complaints, indi-
gestion, liver complaint and constipation,
the Bitters is likewise beneficial.
