received tie majorly of the votes as
cast. The election was contested,
however. and on account of fragrant
election frauds in East Tennessee, the

from going to Nashville to take the
oath of Office, ana accordingly the
oath was administered to him at his
home near Winchester. This was the
first time in the history Of the State
that q governor had ever been sworn

Tennessee gave to the Confederacy.
Since his retirement from the gnber-
material chair GOV. Turney had been
living quietly at his home "Wolf Crag,"
near Winchester. He had been in fail

 While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Peruna yet, as rule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer- able of catarrh of twenty years stand- ing. It is the best, if not the only inter- nal remedy for chronic catarrh in ex- istence.
 But prevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus pre- vent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.

THE season of catching cold is upon

THE season of catching cold is upon
 l us. The cough and the sneeze
 and the nasal twang are to be heard on every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is cold.
 This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than usual The cold generally starts in the head and throat. Then follows sensitive ness of the air passages which incline one to catch cold very easily. At last the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, splitting. frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the head, and sore, inflamed throat.
 The best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning A bottle of Peruna prop erly used, never fails to cure common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
