MILLS COMING SOUTH.
A Large New England Firm Preparing
to Locate In the Cotton Country.

Boston, Jan. 12.--There has been
presented in the House q petition
from the Merrimac Manufacturing
Corporation for leave to increase its
capital stock to $3,5O0000 and to do
business outside of the State, or din
any part of the United States, "as the
words of the petition have it. On
Wednesday similar petition was pre-
sented by the Boot Manufacturing
Corporation, which is one OF the
largest cotton concerns in New Eng
land.
AS Wednesday was the first day on
which petitions were presented to the
Legislature, it looks as if the cotton
mills we're getting ready to adopt this
policy. The first to make this move
was the Dwight Mills, of Chicopee
which got the desired permission from
the Legislature, and have since decided
to locate in Georgia. There are three
motives which tend to bring about
this removal of mills from the North
Probably first OF all is the cheapnesT
of manufacturing where the raw ma
terial is close at hand, and where thC
supplies of coal are also nearer. Ther
there is the lower price OF labor in The
South and the fear of hostile labo
legislation in the North.

able main academic building, which
shall be an honor to the university
and pride to the State" And this
is an appeal entirely in accordance
with reason, for, as the report sug-
gests, the State OF Tennessee is under
special obligation in this matter. In
accepting the land grant made by
Congress in 1862, for the establishment
OF agricultural and mechanical col,
leges in the various States, and the
several additions thereto made since,
the State of Tennessee placed itself
under a solemn obligation to provide
all buildings, land, and other material
equipment necessary for the success
of the institution. Moreover, this act
of Congress, accepted by the State
of Tennessee, especially provides
against the application of any of this
fund, or interest therefrom, "to the
purchase, erection, preservation, OF
repair of any buildings" 1t is left
for the State to provide necessary and
suitable buildings for the work of the
university. The report states that
plans have already been prepared Gol
such a building as is needed, which
bnlt of brick and stone, in genera
outline about two hundred and ter
by seventy-fve feet, four stories high
above good basement, and fitted with
beating apparatus, plumbing, ant
furniture, would cost, it is estimated
about $100,O0000. which sum tn,

CENTENNIAL NOTES.

A party of gentlemen, consisting Of
Major A. W. Wills. Col. ]. B. Killo-
brew, Col. W. A. Henderson, Gen.
W. II. Jackson, Col. John Overstreet,
Jr., and others, members OF the exec
utiye committee of the Tennessee
Centennial Exposition, left for Wash.
ington on the evening train of the 9TH
inst, to present the claims of the Ex-
position before the Congressional
Committee on Appropriations. Con.
gressman Washington is very much
encouraged, and he thinks there will
be little trouble in securing the ap.
preparation of the 100000 asked for.
A government exhibit of the nature
intended will add very much to the
Exposition.
The Woman's Board of the Tennes-
see Centennial Exposition met in
Nashville on Monday, the 9TH inst.
The ladies showed great interest in
the Exposition, and accomplished a
vast deal OF valuable work. The
woman's display will be one of the
great attractions of the Exposition.
1t is intended to embrace all kinds of
woman's work, showing the gradual
development from the time of the
spinning wheel and loom of the Wa
tauga settlement to the conveniences
and comforts OF modern life.
A number OF county courts have
formally endorsed the Centennial Ex-
position movement, and the remainder
| will act upon it at the April term.
The people throughout the State are
becoming aroused to the Importance
of making county exhibits. A build
ing erected by the county of her own
material and filled with her products
would be valuable in directing immi-
grafton. An energetic, intelligent
man should be placed in charge, and
the Exposition management will ar
range with the railroads to carry pros.
pectors to the various counties at
greatly reduced rates.

THE HUMAN EAR.
A Notable Lecture on the Sense Of
Hearing by DIR. Hartman.

During the course of one Of Dr.Hart-
mans latest lectures at the Surgical
Hotel, he said "Good hearing is essen
tial to health and safety. A continual
roaring, cracking and buzzing in the
head, which is always produced by
partial loss of hearing, is constant
nervous irritation which will grad.
ually undermine the strength. Be.
sides this, even slight loss of hearing
renders any one more liable to acci.
dent, many persons being killed every
year because OF partial deafness.
Many people think that a gradual
loss of the sense of hearing is inevita
BILE, and that every one must submit
to it sooner or later. Hence they
make no attempt to find cure. This
is great mistake. Loss of hearing,
either in the old or young people is
nearly always due to chronic catarrh
of the head or middle ear"
Catarrhal deafness is due to catarrh
of the throat passing up through the
Eustachiau tubes to the middle ear
The catarrh in rare cases originates
in the middle ear. The symptoms
are Roaring, cracking, buzzing in
the ear, with gradually increasing
difficulty in hearing. If not cured
the hearing will be entirely destroyed.
When a case has not already gone toe
far before the treatment is begun, Pc
ru-na will cure every case. 1t is only
after catarrh has destroyed portions
of the middle ear that Pe-ru.na fall
to cure. All such cases should writ,

catarrh, ETC., will be sent free to any
