This is to state that having made a
contract with the COLUMBIA HERALD
Co. to accept couponsissued by them
in part payment OF goods purchased
for cash, we fully intended to take in
same on piows and potato planters,
but the State Agents having been
notified by our competitors that we
''were cutting and slashing prices''
on these articles, they notified us
that we must not accept coupons on
these goods. Will say however that
since the first of January the prices
on our celebrated Olive Chill PlOws
have been reduced from 10 to 20 per
cent. As these articles form a very
email part of our business, we have
made them exceptions. All parties
having these bonds are sure to get
what they say on the face, and will
save ten cents on the dollar by buy
ing their goods from us; and but for
the interference of our competitors
we would have saved the farmers OF
Maury county this ten per cent or
their plows and potato planters.
Respectfully,
DoBBINs & EWING.

for consumption, coughs and colds
proved to be the best remedy. Reports
from the many who used it confirm
this statement. They were not only
quickly relieved, but the disease left
no bad after results. We ask you to
give this remedy trial and we guar
antee that you will be satisfied with
results, or the purchase price will be

Everett
As all successful editors
Are foreordained to lie,
we deem that it is only just
! To send in our supply;
| And, like our brethren of the press
Our paper III be the theme
On which Well stuff the credulous
With airy-fairy dream.
Lis of "The Daylight" here We'll tell
! A paper fraught with wit
A true companion, that the MUSES.
VIII eVermore find fit.
New subscribers are increasing
The actual list so long,
We find it just impossible
To supply the eager throng.
Now daylight" bonds bring go and6q
And why? we cannot tell,
But larger sheets with watered stocks
At par they cInnot sell.
In sy mpathy to these we'd say:
Don't WELD such Dungent quilts
lis CHEEKY words of those you write
That bring the dOIlar-bills;
Guard well the portals of thy press,
Let no rude ''Prattler" dare
To enter in with unkind note
- On nlen or fashion of our fair.
To please the ladies we should strive,
Try make their lives bliss,
And let them costume up themselves
As suits each pretty Mis-
And let their silvery Laughter ring,
Though "Rrattler'i tain would die,
And loving words sound loud and long
As pratt" ascends on high.
And to the Dads OF ancient date:
Don't lay such rigid rules;
j uSt let 'em cuss-the old are wise,
While all the young are fools.
And lastly, venture not word
Against that courthouse old,
For If Y III do the hayseed crowd
VIII all begin TO scold.
They'll tell You it is plenty good
For all the modern us Is,
And If you dare to contradict
They'll load you with abuses.
So Just own up, it is a mass
OF architectural beauty,
Which to replace by statelier hall
You meier should deem a duty.
And hint you not to Solons wise,
Less pay for office-holders,
For they are legion here, you know,
And they'd cover you DER with bowl
