Time Tells
 The Story.

There is a big difference be- tween the cost of making first class sewing machine, embodying the best materials and workman ship, and one which is made in the cheapest manner. The buyer of the cheap machine soon pays the difference of price in the constant cost for repairs, to say nothing of it's annoying inefficiency.

May Have to Import Chickens.

The Tennessee Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, which was to have been
held at Gallatin, commencing on
October 5, has been postponed
until October 10, on the account
of the colored Methodist of the
State holding their conference
there at the same time, and as
there were not enough servants
in town to cook for both confer
ences at the same time, and as
the colored brethren had the
right of way, the conference of
the white Methodist was side
tracked until the 10Th.
There is one very serious diff
Guilty about this, however, there
will likely be but few chickens
left in town after the colored
conference is over, and a supply
will have to be imported for the
| white conference.

Pearl Found Worth $1,000.

A considerable stir was created
at Carthage among the pearl
buyers this week by one of the
richest finds that has been made
there for several seasons. The
pearl was found near that place,
and was sold Immediately for
S75. This deal had scarcely been
consummated when it was
bought from the original pur-
chaser by T. B. Read a Carthage
merchant, for $3.50. He had it
for only short time, when he
sold one-third interest for 500.
The pearl weighs twelve
grains, and is considered per-
feet. The very lowest estimate
that could be placed upon it is
$25 per grain, and some think
that it will bring 1000 on the
New York market. Pearls are
being found there daily and are
being sold on the market as they
never were before.

Blue Light dope"

After three years of patient
resarch, two professors of Gene

a new anesthetic which promises
to revolutionize the practice of
dentistry. In reporting this to
the State Department., the Con

the nervous system was influence
ed by colored light the professors
soon perceived after experiment
ing with each hue, that blue had
an extraordinary soothing effect
on the nerves. The Consul says
that a tooth may be painlessly
extracted with none of the after
effects on the system by shutting
up the patient in dark room
and exposing his eyes to a blue
light of 16-candle power for three

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convience to have
at hand reliable remedies for use
in cases of accident and for slight
Injuries and ailments. A good
liniment and one that is fast be-
coming a favorite if not house
hold necessity is Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. By applying it
promptly to cut, bruise or burn
it allays the pain and causes the
injury to heal in about one-third
the time usually required and it
is an antiseptic it prevents any
danger of blood poisoning. When
Pain Balm is kept at hand a
sprain may be treated before in
tlammation sets in, which insures
quick recovery. For sale by,

Healthy Mothers.

Mothers should always keep in
good bodily health. They owe it
to their children. Yet it is no
unusual sight to see a mother,
with babe in arms, coughing
violently and exhibiting all the
symptoms of a consumptlve ten
dency. And why should this
dangerous condition exist, dan
gerous alike to mother and child,
when DIR. Boschee's German
Syrup would put a stop ito it at
once? No mother should be
without this old and tried rem
edy in the house-for its timely
use will promptly cure any lung,
throat or bronchial trouble
in herself or her children. The
worst cough or cold can be speed
| lily cured by German Syrup; so
can hoarseness and congestion of
the bronchial tubes. 1t makes
expectoration easy, and gives
instant relief and refreshing
rest to the cough-racked con-
sumptive. New trial bottles,

Though my plea for good
schools some time ago was echoed
only by one of Mrs. Grundy's
correspondents. feel encourag-
ed to make another plea for good
roads. Good roads are just as
essential to the welfare of u
country as good schools. Alas
there are so few who realize this
fact. Our road law may not be
perfect in every respect yet if it
was only carried out faithfully
by all road officers throughout
the country we would soon see a
great change for the better.
Most of our road hands think of
road work as an unjust burden
and consequently their work is
done as i by compulsion; in
other words they are like a ma
chine which only runs as you
compel it. Let us look at some
of the overseers instead of TAX
ing active part in the work with
pick and shovel. He will sit in
some shady place and tell John
to throw a rock or two into that
rut, jim to take that hoe and
pick some dirt, and Dick and
Tom to throw in a few shovels
full of dirt and other obstacles
in the road that the law requires
| TO be removed are seldom ever
noticed. The roads are expected
to be packed and shaped by
travel and If that man got
through there alright, I'll make
it too. Such is my observation,
and the many crippled horses and
broked .wpsc,gesst c,gesstasaaal tall atka story
Now let me say to every mar
who has wagon and team,
would it not be to your Interest
to have nice smooth roads,
Your team and wagon would last
longer, your hard earned dollars
would stay in your pocket in
stead of wandering to the repair
shop, and you know that yol
would be more content to live
with q nice pike road passing
your house than to see your por
ker taking his daily bath in th'
middle of the road. Good road
and good schools and faithful
officers are the pride of a country
Yours for progress.
