Gross OutrREes

Upon the stomach and bowels are perpe'
trated by multitudes of injudicious people
who, upon experiencing the annoyance OF
constipation in slight degree, infltrate
their bowels with drenching evacuants,
which enfeeble the intestinal membrane to
inducing dysentery or piles. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is the true succedaneum for
these nostrums, since it is at once I1vlgorat-
ing, gentle and effectual. 1t also banlshes
dyspepsia, malarial complaints, rheumatism
and kidney troubles.

Memphis, Death Rate.

The official report of the board of
health for August shows that during
the month there were 81 deaths among
the white and sc among the colored
population, making total of 103 for
the month. The comparison with Au-
gust, 1896, is quite favorable. In tina.
month the deaths among the whites
reached 81, and among the blacks 81,
making total of 124. The annual ra te
per 1000 during the month, including
non-residents, was; Whites, 1919: col
ored, 25.51; total. 22.O2. The mortality
rate in the city for 1897 is 1928.

Watermelon MoIasses.

Mr.. E. E. Smith, prosperous and en-
terprising farmer of Upton county,
has quantity of dark-red, glutinous
liquid, which he obtained by boiling
the juice of four small watermelons for
two hours. The fluid has about the
same consistency as molasses, but it
tastes more like fig syrup, being sweeter
than either molasses or sorghum. Mr..
Smith took the red meat of four small
Carolina Bradford watermelons, very
thin-rind and sweet variety of melons,
and after carefully straining the juice
from tie pulp, boiled the liquid for two
hours. From the two gallons of juice
he obtained about one-half of a gallon
of a saccharine, viscid syrup, which
thickened as it became cold. AS the
liquid cooled crystals of light brown
sugar formed on the inside of the vessel
in which the fluid was placed. From
the above experiment it seems possible
that we may yet sweeten our coffee
with sugar obtained from the water
melon patch.

Nashville and the Railroads.

Nashville, Sept. 9.-The railroad stu
alton, so far as it affects Nashville,
grows more interesting. The special
council committee appointed a few days
ago to consider Crawford's proposition
of the city voting his road $500, 900, met
this afternoon to consider the PROPOSE
ton and draw up bill for submitting
the question to the people. Baxter of
the Tennessee Central was present, and
after some discussion between himself
and the representative of the Crawford
road, submitted a proposition asking
the city to give him $500, 200 in Nash
vile bonds for like amount of stock
in his railway, and agreeing to build it
from Hartman to GAINESVILLE. The
committee decided to report both propo-
sitions, with submission of bills, back
to the council. That body met tonight
and passed the submission bills on first
reading. Tonight the Chamber of Com
merce held special meeting and dis
cussed the Baxter and Crawford propo-
sitiOns. Baxter's friends were in a
majority, but the chamber finally de-
ferred definite action until an adjourned
meeting.

matter of assessment of railroads.
While assessments so far made have not
been actually passed upon by the COM
missioners, vet they have about settled
in their minds upon figures, and when
the work of examining the remaining
schedules is completed it will not take
long to pass upon all. When this work
is completed the commissioners will
commence work upon the schedules of
telephone and telegraph companies,
and at intervals will try cases where
complaints have been made against rail-
road companies for alleged freight dis
ordinations.

Tennessee BACK Ia. Laws.

A bill has been filed in Federal court
at Memphis which it is possible may
bring out a ruling upon the back tax
laws of Tennessee and the manner IN
which they have been applied. 1t APP
pears that in February, 1892, the Jarvis
Conklin Company loaned R. A. Tread
well S11, 800 upon !, 455 acres of land in
Madison county. Later it seems that
Treadwen gave a mortgage to III. c.
Anderson and that the latter bought
the land in under a foreclosure and
decided it to two banks at Jackson: In
the meantime the taxes had become de-
linquent and when the land was sold for
taxes it was bought by the banks. The
agents of the Jarvis-Conklin company
went to the office of the back tax attor-
ney to redeem the land, only to find
that he was making tour of Europe.
The clerk of the attorney, c. G. Harris,
was rendered the money for the taxes
and the penalties upon them and he ac-
cepted the money. Harris then went
to the banks and they declined to give
up their right to the land on the ground
that only the owner or a Judgment
creditor had the right to redeem.

uucnt gangrene in the tissue Of the
appendix, usually due to insufficient
circulation of blood in the part
itself. In thousands of operations
which have taken place-many IN
time to save the life Of the patient, and
many too late-there is not one outhcr-
ticated case of a foreign substance, such
as a seed, being found in the appendix.

one has in mind that the interior Of the
