Catarrh Remedy. In the

tarrh - no matter how bad
your case, or of how long
standing. 1t doesn't simply
palliate it cures. If you
believe it, so much the bet
ter. There's nothing more
to be said. You get it
for so cents, from all drug
gists.
But perhaps you won't
believe it. Then there's
another reason for trying
it. Show that you can't be
cured, and you'll get $500.
It's a plain business offer.
The makers of DIR. Sage's
Remedy will pay you that
amount if they can't cure
you. They know that they
can you think that they
can't. If they're wrong,
you get the cash. If you're
wrong, you're rid of catarrh.

ANOTHER CorToN PICKING MACHINE
A cotton picking machine has been exhibited
in Atlanta which seems to do the work we'll.
1t passed over the rows taking out the cotton
and leaving the bolls and leaves uninjured.
The machine weighs about q thousand
pounds and is drawn by two mules.
We have heard of so many successful
machines for picking cotton that we begin to
think it is about time few Of them were
traversing the cotton fields of Union. The
Atlanta machine, it is claimed, can do the
picking of 20 hands, the Mason claimed the
same, aud n Northern machine claimed to do
better than all of them. We do not pretend
TO say that such machine is beyond the
inventive genius of man, but we do think,
when the Farmers purchase and use them
the pickers will have impaired to them two
of the five human senses, i. e., seeing and
feeling. We would rather see one saiis-
factorily at work OF our friends Joe and
Kelton Wheels farms, than hear tell of one
"doing the work well,'' at big or little ex-
position. We PIT the cotton into the gin,
and the saws and brush separate the lint
frem the seed, brt in picking cotton the ma
chine will have 10 go 10 the cotton bolls,
wherever they my be on the stalk, and pick
the lint and seeds from the pods.

nsAp We purposcly refrained from re-
porting last week the dastardly act Of firing
into the pirlor car, in which ex-President
Hayes VAS n passenger, occurred, about
ono mile and a half above this town las
Wednesday week.
When it was known in this community.
the greatest Indignation against the per-
petrators was felt and expressed by all.
We could not think there was one in this
county who claimed to ba a man that would
commit such asneaking cowardly act, and
felt ashamed at its occurring in this vicinity.
BY keeping silent and with watchful eyes
aud ears open, our Town Marshal, Capt.G C.
May, got on track Of the miscreants and las I
week lodged the perpetrators, two boys in
jail, Joe Gailman and Joe Dogan Eu-
banks, the former 1S and the latter 1s
years old. Both Of them are unfortunate
waits, and trifling characters. 1t appears
that they committed the deed from shere
wan'onncss, and hal no special aim to in
jure any person or thing. Gallman is in Jail
and Eubanks is out on bond

been some improvement during the past

phenomenal The two Cotton Mills, situated
n mile apart, give employment to many hum
dreds of people, while the fertile and easily
cultivated lands in the immediate viciuage
afford pleasant and profitable occupation TO
those who are inclined to follow agricultural
pursuits. This place and Cowpeus (situated
about two miles apart) offer excellent induce
meuts to truck farmers, and the consequence
is that North Carolins wagons, loaded with
cabbages, apples, etc., are frequently seen
on the streets.
The space between Cowpens and Clifton is
being rapidly filed with nice dwelling houses
and stores. Land which few years ago
could be bought for mere song is now
worth great deal.

There are good boarding houses at both
places. and o nice hotel, kept in excellent

Scales Of perfect accuracy were brought in

was made that twenty seven 81 notes weigh

come in every day f,r redemption, showed
that tweniy-seven of them weighed consider

THE coopERAr1vE TOWN LOCATED.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-At meeting sf
the boarl Of directors of the Cooperative
Town Company of Tennessee, consisting Of
Hon. Robert p. Porter, president; Sen rors
Carlisle and Harris, Hon. II. =. Hansbr ouk,
Benjamin Bu,terworth, Lewis McConas and
Col. Britton, held in the city to-day, it was
definitely decided to locate tho new manufAc-
turing town in eastern Tennessee. The Loo
ton Is at Eiizsbethtown, in the co'eb-a

,ion to upwards Of 5000 acres OF t,wn site
lands, il was also decided to purchase $4,000
acres of iron ore, granite and timber lands
in the immediate vicinity making In all
over &c, 600 acres, and covering what is con-
ceded to be the richest mineral p5Tiion os
the valley AMI in section in which experts
cl,im, offer careful investigation, bessemcr
aud the highest grades of stse osn be maau-
fsc.ured cheaper than 10 my other part Of
the United States. The ore lands purchased
by the company arc rich in brown tematite
to supplement the famous cranberry besse-
mer steel ores which a~e located directly
above the t,wn site.
The delay in making the location, the di-
rectors say, was due to the great ca.e exer-
cised in examining at least thirty cites in
Eastern Tennessee alone. The officers Of
the company have given their personal at-
tention to an examination Of each of these
sites, and in reaching the decision ss {, the

purposes. There is within the limits ofthe
