The best Hour is Cold Dust.
WINTER Is HERE.
Bringing With it Catarrhal Diseases
of ALI Kinds.

Winter is hall over. People are con-
tinuing to CATCH colds, and not house
but hears the winter cough. People
are trying to get something to cure
these troubles, which are almost newt.
able at this time OF he year. 1t can
safely be said that nine-tenths OF the
people in the United States have q
cold some time during the winter.
There is one remedy which will pre-.
vent colds and coughs and cure them
with certainty when they are contract
ed. This remedy is Pe-ru-na. Taken
with regularity during the winter
months,it will entirely prevent coughs,
colds, la grippe, consumption, bron-
chitis or pneumonia.-It will also
cure without failure catarrh and re.
cent cases of consumption, and often
in advanced stages.
Everybody should have the 64-page

In an interview on the political
situation in the Knoxville Tribune OF
Sunday, Col. Tlomss L. Williams,
who was chairman Of The democratic
state executive committee OF 1888, id
among other thirgs:
"'Only one more year Of dishoner!
The greatest hope in Tennessee i, for
the party to nominate Bob Trylor for
governor. He is easily the most pop
ular man we have, with the plain peo-
pie in the state. He is in sympathy
with them on all public questions.
With them is our Bob,' they love him
and they will elect him.
"Tbe question now isis he candi.
date? In 1886 he held lucrative Of
6ce, pension agent. He was poor and
in debt; he went so far as to sign an
agreement that he would not be a
candidate for governor but when the
time came the people of Middle and
West Tennessee were determined to
have him. They nominated him and
elected him. In 1888 his wonderful
popularity vita the people was fully
demonstrated. The politicians were
nearly all against him--they brought
out popular candidates in all three OF
the grand divisions OF the state against
him The people triumphed aud he
was nominated and elected by 10000
majority. At that time tho repnbli-
can committee had $36 900 campaign
money to secure his defeal whereas /
manged his campaign with less than
$1,000.
Another thing in Bob's favor is that
he is ring breaker and with his
coming will disappear more than one
disreputable ring in Tennessee, which
has sprung up inside the democratic
party within the last five years to its
injury, all of which has inspired the
republican party with hope. This will
be a long and hard race and it would
be bad politics to enter untried horses
and trick ponies.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
Farewell Address 0f the Great Patriot
Read in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb % The senate
met today 10 listen to the reading of
Washingt0n's farewell address by SEN
ator Frye, the president protein Of the
senate. This was in accordance with
q resolution previously introduced by
Senator Hoar and was proceeded with
immediately after the conclusion OF
the reading Of the Journal OF Thurs
day. The vice president occupied the
seat OF the presiding officer and Mr.,
Frye took his position behind the sec
retary's desk, thus facing the entire
senate, He read from an old volume
printed IN large type and without any
special Effort filled the large chamber
with his resonant voice, 80 that the
patriotic and well-rounded sentences
were heard Oy al! the large audience
present. The reading OF the Journal
and OF the address was preceded by a
prayer by DR.. Wallace Radcliff, pastor
OF the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church, who asked God to "bless Gro.
yer Cleveland, the president oi the
United States" and referring to Wash
ington, returned special thanks ''for
him whose name is III all hearts today :;
for the inheritance of his memory and
for the inspiration OF his life and
example"
On motion cf Mr.. Perkins (rep. CALI
the prayer was ordered to be printed
in the Record.
There was q liberal attendance OF
senators and the only vacant seats in
the galleries were in the diplomatic
and penate sections. The diplomatic
gallery was entirely vacant, but al
most all the seats in the gallery set
apart fer the families of senators were
taken. The vice presidents pew was
entirely filled and the presidents was
also occupied. Many presented them
selves for admission to the popular
galleries considerable time before the
opening OF the doors, ard they contin-
ued TO arrive so that large number
were prevented from gaining admis-
sion.
Close attention was given to the
reading OF the address, rendering the
ceremony thoroughly impressive, and
none the less so on account OF the
simplicity and the absence Of ostenta.
ton by which it was marked.
At the CO.. clusion OF the reading of
the address Mr.. Gray (dem. Del J
moved that the thanks OF the senate
be extended to Mr.. Frye for the admir-
able manner in which he had read the
address. The motion carried unani-
mously and then, at 12 57 p. M, on
motion Of Mr.. Hoar the senate adj
journed till Monday.
Mr.. Carter gave notice Of the post
ponement of his address heretofore
announced for Monday on his motion
to recommit the tariff bill untilWednes-
day OF next week.

The Great Tobacco War.

The head Of one OF the largest St.
Louis manufactures oil plug tobacco
said today: About two years ago We
put on the market brand OF plug to
bacco, and when we figured it out, we
found we had lost just seven cents
pound. Battle ak plug tobacco, l am
told, sells for one cent per pound less
fhan our brand, which would make
the loss on it nine cents per pound.
"B ittle AK" however, is superior to
the one we put out, and must cost
more to manufacture. Twenty million
pounds Of battle ak plug tobacco were
sold, on which | believe there must
have been a loss # at least ten cents
pound, 80 on this item alone there
seems to have been loss OF 100000
From the above statement OF a
large plug tobacco manufacturer, who
evidently knows what he is talking
about, it would seem to US that the
only one who is bunefiting by the to.
bacco war 10 the man who chews chat
tie AK" for he is certainly getting the
full worth OF his money every time
he buVs it.

TO BORE FOR OIL.
A Company Organized to DevelOpe
BrlslUls OIL Fields.

This excitement over oil in Tennes-
see may yet result in something Of I'M
portaI ce to this community. The oil
exists near Bristol there seems to be
TO doubt but whether il can be found
in paying quantities is the question.
Already some of Bristols enterpris-
ing citizens are on the lookout to see
what may be done in the way OF
developing oil wells in this section.
To this end a day or two ago the
Holston OH and Manufacturing comp
any was organized, aud charter has
been applied for.
The charter members of this comp
any are: DR.. j A Dickey, Col. John
G. Haskell, Maj'r A. D. Reynolds, H.
e. Graves aud John G Anderson, OF
Bristol, and A. N Shocp, Of Birming
ham, and Mr. Clyde, OF New York.
The charter has been applied for in
R chmond, Va. Tue company, mean
while, has secured the services of al
expert, and the work of testing tae oil
supply on the land on which the op.
tions have been taken will be begun
very soon.
1t can not, then, be a great while
until it is known whether or not Bris.
tol is going the to be the center for
important oil operations. 1t is to be
hoped that such will be the case, and
there seems to good reason for hope.
1t can be depended on tlat the men
who have organized for the purpose OF
finding out just what amount of oil
exists in this section will l9se no time
in carrying ont the undertaking.
