Led in the Awards.

In the awards at the Tennessee Cen
tenntal Exposition the Southern Rail
way was deservedy fortunate, receiv-
ing for its splendid and varied exhibit,
one gold, three silver medals and
twelve diplomas aud bronze medals.
No other railway was given ~ many
awards. AVID no other exhibit received
so many evidences Of excellence. The
exhibit. as q who,c, covered the re-
sources aud product, OF the country
along the line OF the Southern Railway
in Virginia. North and South Carolina,
Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi, East
Tennessee and Kentucky. The gold
medal was given for the splendid dis
play Of ore-, minerals, ETC., from along
the line Of the road. The judges. in
making their award, spoke OF the evil
dent care shown in the collection and
arrangement Of the exhibit aud its at
tractiveness, aud said: The exhibit
contains an excellent display Of the
ores Of IRON. copper, manganese, gold,
silver. lead. zinc, nickel and aluminium
as well as typical specimens OF coal.
fire clay. corrundum, kaolln, mica,
graphite, ETC.
The silver medals were for the great
and superior quality of the agrlcultu-
raj products from the territory along
the railway. for the size, completeness
aud excellence Of the display Of forest
products. aud for the display Of the
preserved fruits Of all classes. The
medals were the highest awards in az
rcu ture and forestry. aud the South
ern Railway was the only exhibitor to
| obtain all three. Other awards were
| for the collection Of mineral waters,
manufactured cotton goods, seml-por-
ceIan ware, etc. In the horticultural
department the Southern undoubtedly
had the finest display Of apples, but as
The exhibit was placed late no appll-
cation was filed for an award.

Blood Poison.

Contagious Blood Poison has been ap-
propriately called the curse of mankind.
It is the one disease that physicians can,
not cure; their mercurial aud potash
remedies only bottle up the poison in
the system, to surely break forth in a
more virulent form, resulting in total
wreck of the system.
