Is Chattanooga in Ten.
nesSee?

ATLANTA, Sept. "A question has
been sprung here which may result
IN Chattanooga, which has long
been known as one of the leading
cities of Tennessee, becoming a
Georgia town. Doubt has been
thrown upon the accuracy of the
surveys of the boundary line between
this State and Tennessee, and if
the theory of eminent legal authori-
ties here is confirmed it may be
found that Chattanooga is on Geor-
gia soil. This view is shared by
Col. w. A. Wimbish, Special Com
missioner of the State for the Yves
tern and Atlantic railroad, who has
looked into the question in his Off
cial capacity, and to-day expressed
his strong belief that the city of |
Chattanooga is within the confines
of this State.
The publication of this fact has
aroused much interest here and it is
not unlikely that it may result in
the next Legislature providing for
a resurvey of the boundary.
Georgia has no more chance to
acquire our prosperous little city
that nestles under the shadow of
Lookout, than a snow ball has to
melt in the Klondike regions in {
nid-winter. {

Tennessee Crops.

The continued high tenn
pefature and lack of rainfall,
supplemented by almost the
highest percentage Of sun
shine, combined to render
the past week a very trying
one to the farmer, in the way
of lowering the condition of
his growing and maturing
crops, the loss by reason of
the existing conditions, and
the suspension of the work
OF preparing for the fall seed
ings of wheat and other small
gain crops. While the wealth
er was altogether favorable
for saving hay and fodder,
and gathering ripening crops,
and for all other outside
farm work except blowing, it
was exceedingly detrimental
to all growing and unmatured
crops, and indeed positively
destructive to some, placing
them beyond redemption,
even with early rains, and
cutting short the prospective
yield of others. These con-
ditiOns prevail largely in the
Western Section, especially
in the southern portions. In
the eastern section, and in
the northeast and east portion
of the Middle Section, these
adverse conditions do not ex-E
least to such an in
furious extent. Early corn
is fast maturing, and is a fair
crop; late corn is suffering

OUR officials have acted
wisely in quarantining against
points infected with yellow
fever. Hereafter, until the
quarantine is raised, all per-
sons coming into Hardeman
county will be required to
produce health certificates.
There never was a time when
the old adage, San ounce of
preventive is worth a pound
Of cure" applied more forci-
bly, than the present. The
latest report from the fever
districts is to the effect that
the disease is slowly spread
ing. No general outbreak is
anticipated, however. De-
velOped cases and even sus- |
poets, are isolated, and every
precaution is being used to
stamp it out. The fever is
said to be of mild type. But
few deaths have been report
ed. The strict quarantine
laws now in operation, and
the lateness of the season,
Justify the belief that the di-
sease will soon be eradicated.

Addresses a Big Meeting al
Cooper Union.
Says No Man Can Serve Faith
fully at One Time
PARTY AND THE CITY.
Stands For Direct and COntin-
uOus Responsibility
On the Part Of Officials to the
People.

New York. Oct Seth Low, Citi-
zens' candidate for mayor last night
opened his campaign at a large and
enthusiastic mass meeting held in
Cooper Union. The hall was packed by
men and women, all seemingly in ia
vor of the Citizens union movement
After several addresses Mr.. Low was
introduced, and it was some minutes
before he could make himself heard,
so tremendous was the cheering.
Mr.. Low said in part:
There are four tickets. Two of them,
the ticket headed by General Tracy
and the ticket headed by Henry George
openly proclaim the doctrine that in
the solution of this tremendous NUM-
cipaI problem that confronts the city
of New York, national issues and not
the local issues ought to dominate In
the minds of voters.
General Tracy is against Bryanism
and Henry George is for it. Both of
these gentlemen propose certain things
for the city. Nevertheless they say,
both of them that the city's interests
are not the paramount issues and that
the voter ought to cast his ballot pri-
minarily with reference to national is
sues.
mo man can serve two masters, and
if the people of the city elect a mayor
because of the views he entertains on
the free coinage of silver and all the
rest, they may not be surprised if the
mayor lIl0y erect SuOOIUAIldlGS NAIG LII
terests of the city to the exigencies of
the party to which he belongs.
"CUriously enough in this campaign
Tammany Hall, in it's platform, has
confined itself strictly to local issues,
has the Citizens union. But every
body understands that Tammany Hall
has done this only because it has not
dared to come out either for the Chi
cago platform of it's party or against
it.
There is one point as to which Tam
many, the Republican organizations
and the adherents of Henry George are
all agreed with one voice they pro-
claim the doctrine that the administra-
tion ought to be responsible to some
party, as they put it, and not directly
to the people themselves. I stand for
direct and continuous responsibility on
the part of the city officials to the peo-
pie themselves"

a New Discovery That is Worth That

To Anyone Afflicted with Piles.

To Anyone Afflicted With Piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure. the new,
painless remedy which has been so re-
marlIably successful in curing every
form of piles and rectal diseases, has
recently been placed on sale at drug
gists and it is safe to that when it's
extraordinary merit becomes fully
known, there will be no SUCH thing as
surgical operations for the cure of this
obstinate and common trouble.
Mrs. NJ. c. HinkIy of sol Mississippi
St, Indianapolis, Ind, says: I have
been a terrible sufferer from piles for 15
years and no remedies benefited me,
until I saw an advertisement of the
Pyramid Pile Cure; I got a package,
also a package of Pyramid Pills and
used both according to directions.
was astonished at the immediate relief
obtained and now I honestly believe the
Pyramid to be the only certain cure for
piles.
That you may realize how bad I was
I will say that 1 was confined to my bed
and went before the college physicians
here who said my case was a new one
to them and wanted seven or eight hun
dred dollars to undertake a cure; the
great pain had brought on a rupture
and I knew an operation would be
death to me on account of blood pois-
oning. Nearly everyone here knows of
my terrible suffering from piles and I
feel that I cannot praise the Pyramid
Pile Cure enough and the Pyramid Pills
also. My husband will join me in high
1y recommending the Pyramid. my
daughter was cured by one box only.
For several years weighed but about
90 pounds, now 1 weigh $50 and feel in
perfect health.
This seems to be the universal testi-
mony of every sufferer from piles who
have ever tried the Pyramid; il is the
safest, most painless pile cure yet dis
covered; contains no Opiate, morphine,
cocaine, or any poisonous ingredient
whatever, has a soothing, healiIg effect
from the first application, and the mod
crate price places it within the reach of
everyone needing treatment. The Pyr-
amid Pile Cure is sold by druggists at
so cents and $1O0 per package and the
Pyramid Pills at 25 cents per box.

Great Revival in Farming Interests
Pred :cted for Next Year

Charles E. Faulker, formerly super
intendent of the soldiers orphans
home at Atchison, now superintendent
of the Washburn memorial orphan asy-
lum at Minneapolis, Mimi, has not for
gotten Kansas and her agricultural re-
sources, evidenced by a letter to F. d
Coburn, secretary of the state board of
agriculture, in which he says:
I have never felt the need of push
ing Kansas interests through the aid
of her department of agriculture so
much as I do now that I am out of the
state and notice what others are do
ing.
If our agricultural college has no
dairy school it should have one as soon
as possible Minnesota is alive to her
dairy interests and the work being
done will benefit the entire west. This
section depends largely on California
for fruits Kansas ought to push for
some of the trade and build up an ex-
change of products. Possibly some of
the dealers are doing this but do not
hear of it. A great revival of farming
interests will follow the Improvement
in prices and Kansas should be ready
for her share of prosperity to come
with the spring of 1895"

We're received by the receivers but
We're returned unsigned because they
were unsatisfactory.
Il do not mean to imply that an
