started up County street with a satchcl
in his hand. He WAS well dressed ant.
mad on a watch and chain and about so
in money in his pocket. When he reach
cd the corner of County and Blount
streets, where the railroad crosses, he
was met by two negro men. who en-
gagged him in conversation. One OF the
men continued to talk to him until the
other man got behind him and struck
HIM back of the head With a pieco OF
iron. The man fell with IL long cut on
the head. He was knocked scnseless
The TWO men then went through his
pockets. secured the money, took the
satchel and were in the act of taking

tleinan coming toward them. Roth men
then ran off UP the road. They were

Glorious News.

Comes from DR.. D. B. Cargile, of
Washita, 1. T. He writes: "Four
bottles of Electric Bitters has cured
Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, which had
caused her great suffering for years.
Terrible sores would break out on
her head and face, and the best doc
tors could give no help; but her
cure is complete and her health is
excellent" This shows what thous-
ands have proved, that Electric
Bitters is the best blood purifier
known. It's the supreme remedy
for eczema, letter, salt rheum, ulcers,
boils and running sores. 1t stimu-
lates liver, kidneys, and bowels, ex-
pels poisons, helps digestion, builds

During the winter of 1897 Mr..
James Reed, one of the leading
citizens and merchants of Clay,
County, w. Va, struck his leg
against a cake of ice in such man
ner as to bruise it severely. 1t be-
come very much swollen and panied
him SO badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches.
he was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and half gallons of whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any
relief until he began using Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. This brought
almost a complete cure in weeks
time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy bis leg would
have had to be amputated. Pain
Balm is unequaled for sprains, bruis-
ses and rheumatism. For sale by

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in
this country. "Disease fastened
its clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were un-
dermined and death seemed immi-
nent. For three months she cough
ed necessarily, and could not sleep.
She finally discovered a way to re-
covery, by purchasing of us bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, and was so much re-
lieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured. Her
name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus

ReeIfOot Lake.

Union City, Tenn, Oct. ga
Maj J. G. Harris, the wealthiest
man in Lake county, who claims to
own Reelfoot lake, started in to
drain it some time ago, and had sew
eral hundred yards of his big ditch
dug when an injunction was grant
ed the "Reelfoot Anti Draining
Club" by Chancery Judge Cooper,
of Trenton, and work on the canal
stopped. Maj. Harris, who bad
gone into the wholesale fish bust
ness, then obtained from Circuit
Judge w. II. Swiggart, who is also
Chancery Judge of Lake county, an
injunction against Burdick, Yves
ter, Wade and other wholesale fish
aud game dealers, prohibiting their
fishing and hunting on the lake, or
buying or in any way dealing in
Reelfoot fish and game.
The fishermen then prayed Judge
Swiggart to dissolve the injunction
against them, and Maj. Harris came
back with cross-bill, asking that
the injunction against them be dis
solved, and he be allowed to drain
the lake. Judge Swiggart heard
the cases yesterday, and last night
at II O'Clock dissolved the injunction
against the fishermen, but held the
one against Maj. Harris. Any one
who chooses can hunt and fish at
Reelfoot, but Maj. Harris must not
drain foot of it.

Mr.. Carmack for the Senate.

In Wednesdays CONNER
cial Appeal, Hon. E. w.
Carmack announces his can
didacy for the United States
Senate 10 succeed Mr.. Tur-
ley. The announcement is
not unexpected. Mr.. Car
mack has responded to the
solicitation of democratic
friends throughout Tennes-
see, who have pledged him
support, into whose hands he
is willing to commit his po-
litical fortunes.
The course of the BULLE-
TIN in regard to Mr.. Carmack
is familiar to our readers.
During the memorable con-
test between Mr.. Patterson
and Mr.. Carmack, we sup
ported the former, because
we considered him the regu-
lar democratic nominee, and
we did everything honorable
in our power to assist in his
election. Later, when Mr..
Carmack secured the nomina-
ton, we supported him and
worked as zealously for his
election as we did to accom-
plish his defeat two years
previously.
While it is true that Mr..
Carmack entertains some
views to which we do not
subscribe, we recognize in
him a man of ability, and be-
lieving that he will make an
honest and faithful represen-
tative and will reflect credit
upon Tennessee in the Unit
ed States Senate, we shall
support him for that position.
Hurrah for Carmack !
