On another page in this issue will
be found an advertisement of DR.. Peters
Blood Vitalizer.
Although this wonderful medicine has
been prepared and sold for over 100 years,
yet, until lately, it has not been advertised
extensively in newspapers, the proprietor,
DR.. Peter Fahrney, the grandson of the
original discoverer, preferring to have it sell
ON its own merits.
At the earnest solicitation of numerous
friends and acquaintance, who are we'll &C
quainted with the curative properties of this
medicine, the doctor has concluded to place
his remedy before the public and to put it
within the reach of all.
If any of our readers should be in need of
first-elass blood purifier, they would do
well to address the doctor at his Office, 112 s.
Hoyne Avenue, for full particulars.
The doctor does not put his medicine on
sale in drug stores, hence it is not a drug
store medicine. HIS method of selling is to
establish agents in certain districts, who keep
his remedies on hand and supply all who
may be in need Of it. Agents are appointed
irrespective of their occupations in life;
ministers, mechanics, school-teachers, or any
one actuated by the desire to do good will be
appointed an agent, providing there is not
already an agent in their neighborhoOd.

but failed to take the pontoon bridge, on
account of his wel-fortified position and
artillery brought into requisitioa. They all
think they heard artillery, from which
Adams made bis report.
1t was 800 in the afternoon when Long
made his dash, but he may have made some
demonstrations late at night, before starting
above to cross the Little Tennessee River.
But the time has been so long that memories
may be defective, and loyal citizens may
have given them the information about the
artillery firing.

Col. Long marched by way of Maryviile,

of the river, at $50 on the morning of Dec.

picket that night on the Maryville road.
As the guards lay on the ground at the
reserve about 2 o'clock they heard the
tramp of approaching cavalry at distance.
Were they friends or enemies, was the
question.
fastening to the videt post, the Officer
of the Guard took one or two men and went
down the road TO reconnoiter. They soon came
in sight of the cavalry, and by the bright
moolght could distinguish the blue uni
form. 1t was not safe, however, TO depend
upon The color, for many rebel cavalrymen
wore the Union l'lue.
"As they approached nearer they were
halted. Who comes there?' The advance
guard of Col. Longs brigade of cavalry,
from Gen. Sherman's army was the reply.
Before the officer in command of the adj
vance-guard had spoken three words we
knew they were friends. Col
Longs cavalry moved inside the Union

TAKES ISSUE.
Some Comparative Statements as Presented
by sixth Corps Man.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l was q
much iniere-ted reader OF Comrade j. II. Pra-
| theirs t91st Ohio) version of the Cedar Creek
battle, Oct. 10, 1864. and take issue with him
| in some particulars. In the first place, he
has Gen. Hayes in command OF the corps.
The record says Brighten. George Crook
commanded the Army of West Virginie ;
that the First Division was commanded,
first, By Col. Joseph Thoburn (killed), and
St condiy by Col. Thomas nj. Harris, and the
Second Division by Col. K. b. Hayes.
The comrade also claims his corps did not
have 5000 effective men, and that the Nine
,eenth and Sixth Corps had each nearly
double that number. Gen. Sheridan's Official
report of Aug. 10, 1864, says his effective
line-0f-batlle strength at this time was $4,000
infantry and $500 cavalry. The comrade
says Gen. Early was reinforced by 10000
militia. was of the impression that ker-
shaw's Division, of Longstreets Corps, were
regular, full-fledged Johnnies. Again, the
comTade claims The Army of West Virginia
whipped the Johnnies out of Fishers HILL
True, they were the thanking column at that
battle, but he forgot to mention that others
were looking at the rebs about the same
time he mentions. Says Sheridan's official
report:
"On the night of the 21st, Crook was
moved to and concentrated in the timber
near Strasburg, and at daylight on the 22d
marched to and massed in he timber near
Little North Mountain. On the Goth, /
moved Wright Sixth Corps and Emory
(Niueieenth Corps up in the front Of the
rebel line, getting into proper position after
a severe engagement between n portion of
Ricketts's and Getty's Divisions, of the Sixth
Corps, and a strong force of the enemy.
Crook, without being observed, moved on
the side of Little North Mountain, and
struck the enemy's left and rear so suddenly
he 1.-THE enemy broke, Crook swinging down
behind the line, Ricketts, swinging in and
joining Crook, and 80 on the balance of the
Sixth and Nineteenth Corps, the rout of the
enemy being complete"

RESIDENCE BURNED.
Fire Destroys The Home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Cooner This Morning.


Mrs. Geo. Cooner This Morning.
This morning about IL O'Clock the
alarm of fire was heard 1t was soon
located and proved to be the resi-
dence of George w. Cooner, adjoin-
ing the |. I. & F. a. wagon yard.
The origin of the fire is unknown
though it was most likely due to q
defective flue. Mrs. COoner was in
the yard washing and told the chill
dren to build fire in the cook stove
preparatory to getting dinner. She
stated to the reporter, who was
among the first on the scence that her
attention was attracted by the smell
of burning Goth and that OH looking
she discovered that the roof of the
house was ab;aze. The material of the
building being of highly infianlable
nature it was soon cpveluped i'll a
sheet of fame rendering any hope of
saving it impossible. The only thing

effects as possible. Everything down
stairs PAS saved. A trunk, some bed
ding and in fact everything up stairs
was lost. Mr.. Cooner estimates his
less at about $400.
The stalls of the wagon yard soon
caught and but for the heroic efforts
of the boys who entered into the work
Of fighting the flamee with vim
would have been entirely destroyed
BY chOpping cut few sections and
a judiciou use of water, only about
dozen of the stalls were burned.
Mr.. Cooner was W town and did
not arrive until his place was a heap
of smoking ruins. lie is extremely
unfortunate, having about year since
lost good home at Gainesville
through an unsuccessful business veL-
ture in Marietta. Last May he came
to Ardmore as he expresses it with
out five cent piece" Being a good

his trade he had gained another foot
hold and was just beginning to see his
way into the future. He had built this
house and paid for it, only to see it go
up in flame aud smoke. His present
condition is most pitiable one. A
large family and no home. The good
neighbors have thrown open their
homes and will see to it that they are
comfortably cared for until they can
secure a place. Our people should at
once, and we believe they will raise
by subscription money with which to
aid these worthy people unavoidably
made homeless. This would be III
building another house. Charity
worthily bestowed and duly ppreci-
ated. There was no insurance.
The boys of the town worked hero
ically from start to finish but being
unprovided with the means they
could not cope with the flames. The
Deed OF q flre company was VlslDIy ap-
parent aud we think should be organ

Since writing the above Mr.. Best
called at the ArdmoT cite office and in
formed us that several lists for sub

and that contributions were being lib
ally made. He thinks the people Vi
Ardmore will do their duty and come
to the rescue. they should do SO and
we hope to be sble to chronicle to-
morrow the fact that enough has
been raised to rebuild the house. Mr.
Cooner is unaware of this step, but
they will not fail to appreciate.
