Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j. Gunderman
of Dimondale, Mich. we are permitted to make
this extract: II have no hesitation in recon-
mending DR.. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the case of my
wife. While was pastor of the Baptist church
at Rives Junction she was brought down
with pneumonia succeeding la grippe. Terrible
paroxysins of coughing would last hours with
little interruption and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recommended DR..
Kings New Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results" Trial bot

THE 1890 BONDS.

johnson City-or more properly the
taxpayers hereof-haye won most i'm
portant victory in the chancery court
of appeals. This court affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court that the bonds
issued to the Three C.'s road were
illegal,
The reader will remember that in
1890 bonds covering SIS, O0Owere issued
by the city and delivered to the G. G.
and G. railroad, very much as prem
ium for the completion Of the road.
This, with accrued interest, amounts
to about 100000, The road has
not been completed, and there is no
certainty as to when it will be. At the
time the bonds were issued the Three
C.'s company was foreign corpora
ton, as contemplated by the law, and
the state statutes forbid the issuing of
bonds to nonresident corporations.
Furthermore, the bonds exceeded ten
per cent. of the taxable property of the
town, and this fact alone was sufficient
to invalidate the issue. These were the
two principal points of contention.
The whole thing was simply ques-
ton of law and of fact, and in no sense
due to an unjust desire for reputation
on the part of our citizens. Notwith-
standing the bonds are illegal and can
never be collected by distress, we firm
ly believe that, had the road been com
pleted, or if there was a certainty of
its ever being completed, every penny
of the Indebtedness assumed would
have been paid, and that, too, without
word of complaint on the part Of our
citizens.
The decision will serve to increase
the value of city property at least TWEEN
ty-five or thirty per cent.
The case will now go to the supreme
court and be again decided in the city s
favor,

THE Knoxville journal objects to
our using the expression "Vox populi

perfectly natural, since the Journal has
an Unborn antipathy for such political

ond-hand, else the Journal perhaps
would never have recognized it.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.
Yuma Has Warm Time Over Her
 School Teachers.

The school election held here Saturday WAS the most exciting and warmly contested battle of the kind ever waged in Yuma.
 The battle was fought against the personnel and management oI the school during the past term For sometime public feeling had been gathering and opposition to the management growing. AL though 1t was more If an under current than open disruption 1t was none the less strong b;cause of that fact. Indeed the feeling seemed stronger because 1t was to some extent smothered, so that when the time came the storm burst and in one fell swoop public opinion carried everything before 1t.
 It was one of the pretty days for " hich a Yuma spring time is fam ed 50 that the women voters turn ed out en masse, every one seem ing to be actnated by a desire to express his or her opinion upon what was evidently considered a public nuisance. The pol opened at 9 o'clock with Captain Hale and William Mimmack as judges J. l.. Redondo, and Ben Heyl clerks.
 The two candidates were c. c. Dyer and John Gandoifo.
 Befnre the polls were open a crowd had gathered about the poll Ing place at the school house and as the doors were thrown open those waiting crowded up to the box as if anxious to Lave the thing over ahd done with.
 From that time until four o'clock at which time the polls closed a continuous line of voters filed be- fore the little box. The count showed that C. c. Dyer had won by majorityol 76.
