Cigarette Law.

The cigarette law went into full
force and effect Saturday May /. Local
merchants generally are preparing to
comply with the law prohibiting the
sale Of cigarettes which forblds the
selling of cigarettes and cigarette pa
per. Chief Hill of Chattanooga has
instructed the police to enforce the
law. That it may be enforced all over
this great State is the prayer Of all
good people. Tennessee has some good
laws, among the best are the Cigarette

How Can They BE Best and Most Quickly
Improved
The county is getting out rock for
the purpose of making roads, and we
understand that the rock crusher will
soon be put in operation. To US it ap.
pears almost without good reason that
the rock crusher is not kept at work
all the time; a competent committee
has had the matter in charge for some
time, and 1t seems as though it would
be wise to continue that committee
until the work is completed. If it is
necessary to have a committee to
superintend the work surely it will be
better to retain one that has had some
experience than to make a change.
Good judgment in the expenditure of
the road fund 10 as essential as any
other one thing.

Sickness In the Country.

Reports from the country indicate
that there is at this time more than
the usual amount of sickness prevail.
ing. Most of these troubles seem to
arise from an impure condition of the
blood, caused by an excessive secretion
of bile. This causes fevers of a bilious
character, and we regret to say in some
places it has proved very fatal. We
therefore offer this g~ratuitous ad vice to
those not afflicted. Keep your liver in
a healthy condition, and your blood
rich and pure. Good blood means good
health. whilst bad blood, bad health.
Harris Blood and Liver Pills are en-
tirely vegetable and are just the pills
needed at this season of the year.

1t will not cure everything. 1t is not
claimed that it will cure but one CON-
plant, that lie, dyspepsia. We can not
say that it will cure every case of dys
pepsia, but it will cure a large ma.
jority of them. Such cases as are
adapted to its use will derive immedi.
ate benefit. One small bottle will be
sufficient to test it. The Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial is especially adapted
for emsciated or elderly people whose
food does them but little or M good
because it is not digested. The Cordial
contains an artifcially digested food
and is a digester of food happily com
bined. Read one of the little books
which your druggist is now giving

JOHN LIS CHAELENGE.
Both Corbett and Fitzsimmons Treat 1T as
n Huge Joke,

Carson. New March THE only
item of news which kept the sports in
Carson alive to-day was John L. Sulli-
wants reported challenge to the winner
Of the Corbett- -Fitzsimmons fight It
led to a discussion of the relative mer-
it's of Sullivan in his prime and the
foremost pugilists of to-day.
According to my notion" spoke a
we'll known authority on boxing and
beers. .John L. at his best would stand
no show to-day with either Corbett or
Fitzsimmons. Like everything else,
pugilism has developed. The ponder
Gus sluggers are no longer in the game.
The pugilist nowadays fights with his
head and feet as we'll as his fists. He
does not batter his forearms. The side
step as practiced now does away with
much of the parry Take Corbett and
Fitzsimmons, for example.
Their trunks appear to be set on a
socket at the hips and they swing to
either side like a blade of grass. If
neither Of these two men loses his head
this battle will be fought almost entire
ly with new blows. / have been watch
ing both Of them at work every day for
week. Next time you visit Corbett
just observe the way he moves. He
whips his left arm and with a circular
motion, sweeping it in like the close of
knife blade. When leading he does
not draw back an inch, but shoots his
glove at his opponent without betray-
ing the slightest intention of his move
ments. His feet are always planted
firmly and his body goes forward with
every blow just far enough to measure
the distance and not too far to jump
back out of danger. His footWork is
marvellous. In ten days l have not OBJ
served him to stumble or overbalance
himself
'Fitzsimmons' style Is peculiar. With
his arms rigid and his head well back,
he crouches low and watches for an
opening When the opportunity comes
up go his shoulders to protect the chin,
and he literally pushes his glove at the
man before him, Strengthening out his
knees and giving the full weight of his
body to the blow. Bob requires less
latitude in which to hit then any man
living. The blow that knocked out Pc
ter Maher travelled less than a foot
His main strength appears to be in the
forearms, and he can hit a terrific jolt
or bat at any distance. Everybody
knows what hook he is capable OF
landing.
do 1 think he will get in on Cor
bett?
That's hard to say If he does he
will win the championship, but what
will Jim be doing in the meantime? Oh
course, one or the other of the fighters
may get ratified and forget all about
his pet blows. The one who does will
be a loser after March II"
Sullivan's alleged challenge was not
taken seriously by either of the cham
pions. They both laughed it off.
