strength Of exchange was attributed to the
increased demand for remittance pur-

He had met the president and the Off
Gals at the War Department that day
for the first time, and it was his appear.
ance Oh this occasion which gave rise to n
remark made to General Grant the mex t
time he visited the department: "The
officer you brought on from the West is
rather little fellow to handle your cav
airy" To which Grant replied, "You
will find him big enouh for the purpose
before we get.through with him. Gen.

Whooping cough is prevalent in
Murphy and Cherokee county. The
infant of Hulda johnson was burr led
here last week, it's death CO used by
this disease. 1t seeElS to be raging
more in the county than 10 town.
1t is to be hoped that no more deaths
will follow as the result of the raw
ages OF this terrible enemy of chill
dren.
Here is a preventive against
whooping cough, simple but said to
be effiGacious: Take q small piece
of asafGLida, about the size of the
end of your thumb, pinch of sui
phur and sew them up in a bag,
which thoroughly satu'ate with tur-
pentine. Tie it around the childis
neck. Renew the turpentine every
few days. This remedy is at least
worth a trial.
Mr., Henry Coatney, who is work
ing on the court house, of Atlanta,
received telegram last Wednesday
from his wife, who was visiting at
Knoxville, that their little child was
dead. 1t was a crushing blow to the
fond father, for he did not know that
his baby was even sick. It's death
was sudden, but we did not learn the
cause. kir. Coatuey left the same
morning for Knoxville.
A. 3. Garpett, who is here with
Mrs. Hitchcock and her daughter,
Mrs. Colt, from California, doesn't
want professor stuck to his name,
and still he has made some valuable
discoveries in mineral on this estate.
Mrs, Hitchcock has concluded to put
this large and valuable property on
the market, and we can say from our
own personal knowledge that here is
a chance for money to double itself
by investment.

ing, and an investigation revealed
the fact that they had escaped by
cutting through window.
The prisoners were G. c. Null,
whose time would have been out in
a week, Charles Nichols and little
boy named Richard Pioklesimer, all
United States prisoners, and charged
with handling whiskey. These pris
opers, together with Jack Smith and
Tobe WArlick, who made no attempt
to escape, were left over night in the
corridor that runs around the steel
cages. NICHOLS, who was sick, was
ordered the run of the corridor by
DIR. ]. T. Ahernathy, the county ply

out into the corridor to get fresh air
and take some exercise, simply be-
cause our efficient sheriff is hu-
