Win Lose a Representative.

Hon. Yeatman johnson writes
friends in the city that in spite Of the
best efforts of Montgomery's repre-,
sentatives, this county will lose a
representative by the terms of thu
redistricting bill. This bill provides
that Montgomery and Robertson
shall form a senatorial district, that
Montgomery shall have one repre-
sentative, and joint representative
for Montgomery and Houston coun
ties. Heretofore Montgomery and
Stewart have formed a senatorial
district, Montgomery, Houston and
Cheatham Pictorial district, besides
two direct representatives from
Montgomery. This county should
have gained representative, in.
stead of losing one; the increase in
the population of GAINESVILLE alone
almost justifies it. The loss is the
result of census inefficiently and
bunglingly taken, in some districts,
by men incompetent to do the work.

Creek to the Dickson county line.
McTighe, Hussey q Co., the princi-

their work and are getting ready to
leave. 1t will take them several
days yet to get al odds and ends
wound up, but their heavy work is
practically completed. They are now
boxing up some of their tools, getting
them ready for shipment. Mr..
McTghe said this morning that it
would take some OF the sub-contrac-
tors the balance of the month to
wind up the bridge and culvert work,
and to do little extra work on a cut
or two where the banks have been
caving. McTighe, Hussey & Co. did
not take any of the contracts to build
the spurs to the ore banks, other con-
tractors getting the work. This work
is now going on and is being pushed
with all possible speed.
This brings to mind that the sub
scribers to this road will be called on
pretty soon for half their subscrip-
ton.

The Cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of one's
own self. A light.cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when a case of full-fiedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences OF
that neglect are fully realized. AS q
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-

Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.
