I think the Evans Dispensary

better than prohibition as we have
had it with "blind tigers" Also
i think it better that the profits

to the municipalities as heretofore.
1t is also better than high license,
because the closing of the bar

profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

nrax Result In a Lawsult.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 1s.-The celebrated
Brandon warrant for $4,000 was pre-
scented to Treasurer Craig today for
payment and declined with thanks.
The warrant was issued to Brandon in
1877 for work in the East Tennessee
land registers Office by Comptroller
Nolan under writ of mandamus, but
that gentleman took the precaution to
write across the face ITO be paid when
an appropriation is made"
subsequently, Mr.. Brandon sold it to
the late M. Connor, of Knoxville, and
whenever new treasurer comes in it Is
presented. In 1889 the assembly killed
bill making an appropriation. At
torney-General Pickle has given an opin-
ion that it should be paid, on the ground
that Nolan had no right to put condi-
ton upon it. Treasurer Craig holds
that it was accepted under conditions
and that one assembly has rejected it.
The warrant is held by life insurance
company and it is probable that suit
will be instituted to recover. With in
terest it now amounts to about $4,000.

! give you the third cause of Paul's

hand more than we do the left. If in
accident or battle we must lose one
hand, let it be the left The left hand
being nearer the heart, we may not
do much of the violent work of life
with that hand without physical dam
ger; but he who has the right arm in
full play has the mightiest of all
earthly weapons In all ages and in
all languages the right hand is the
symbol of strength and power and
honor. Hiram sat at the right hand of
Solomon. Then we have the term:
HE is a right-hand man. Lafayette
was Washington's right-hand man;
Marshal Ney was Napoleon's right
hand man; and now you have the
meaning of Paul when he speaks of
Christ who is at the right hand of God.
That means He is the guest of
Heaven. He has a right TO sit there.
