The nomination of Col. Joel Branham
and Capt. S. C. Trout, by the Democra
cy of Floyd county, on Saturday last, for
the Legislature, was a good day’s work,
and reflects honor on the meeting and
tnen who were nominated.
Col. Branham is a gentleman of rare
ability, and has long held a high position
as an attorney, not only in the Circuit
but in the Supreme Court. We feel sure
he will be elected, and we predict there
will be no member of the next Legisla
ture who will occupy in that body a more
enviable position.
Sam Trout needs no commendation at
our hands. He is one of the most pop
ular men in his county—is worthy of the
high trust assigned him.
We have heard it said that Branham
and Trout were two of the best boy babies
born on the day of their respective births,
and we believe it.

STATEMENT; , ■ , ' •-
For the corresponding week of last year j
‘Another grand duke is made Governor
General of the Caucasus, and it is known
that he is in disgrace, though the cause
has Dever yet transpired. But there are
occasions when no such opportunity pre
sents itself, and when no cause but illness
can justify the removal of the offender.
If, for example, there be a grand duke
‘in command of an array in the field, and
1 it be thought desirable to remove him,
any transfer to another post would be so
oalpable a disgrace 1 which under no im
aginable conditions will the emperor
[openly inflict upon a Romanoff, that he
Is ordered to report himseif sick; it is
4 duly certified that he is suffering from
this complaint or that, necessitating a
change of air, and only a few know that
he has no illness but imperial disease.
It is rumored in St. Petershng that the
Grand Duke Nicholas is already begin
ning to sicken. The Times’ military cor-
respondent innocently confirms the report,
“He is said,” he writes, “to be sufi'erirg
from, liver complaint, hut when t saw
him some days back he was very well.”
The fact is that there is a spirit of
doubt and di3trU3t of the imperial house
is rising in Russia, which must cause
deep anxiety to the Czar.

Railroad Travel in Turkey.
ii:
A Times correspondent furnishes the
following sketch of railway travel in
Turkey. Even railway travel
is not the prosiac and uneventful busi
ness it is in other places. I journeyed
the‘other day from Constantinople to
Adrianople in the same train that Lady
StrUngford and other English ladies were
in, and all the way some unruly Circas
sians kept worrying the guard by firing
out of the windows. Anything just in
sight, from a Bulgarian girl in a red pet
ticoat to a buffalo, served as marks for
these playful creatures, and bangsncceed-
ed bang to the annoyance but not great
alarm, of the steadier passengers. Vex
ation, however, gave place to something
like panic when it was discovered that,
tired of the open windows, onr rollicking
fellow travellers had taken to firing
through the carriage?. At the next
station het guard telegraphed to the
Governor of Adrianople, and his Excel
lency, with commendable promptness,
sent a body of three or four hundred to
the termiuus, whom he found upon arri
val standing in terrible array, with bay
onet fixed, to see that the roughs be
haved themselves. The impartiality
with which the Turkish irregular robs
and horsewhips Bulgarian and poor Turk
alike would be charming if it did not
fire one with contempt for a Government
which confesses itself powerless to restrain
such miserables. What they steal is taken
to large cities to be disposed of.

Tlic Wisest of Precautions.
Of precautions, the wisest is that which
is taken against disease. There is safety
in timely medication; great peril in de
lay. One malady often begets others
far more dangerous, and if it does not,
any abnormal condition has a tendency,
if unremedied, to become chronic and
obstinate. Trifling disorder of the stom
ach, liver, bowels or urinary organs may
speedily develop' into formidable mala
dies. Check them at the outset with
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which, al
though it is wonderfully effective in over
coming disorders of long standing, is, like
any other medicinal preparation, more
advantageous in the infancy of the mala
dies to which it is adapted after they
have become chronic. Among these are
dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation,
intermittent and remittent fevers, gout,
rheumatism, nervous and general debili
ty, and urinary troubles. The Bitters
are a capital appetizer, induce sound re
pose, and counteract the effects of fatigue
and exposure.
American Bettes.
America is justly proud of her beau
tiful ladies, but how many mar their
beauty, and lose their health and youth,
become prematurely old in appearance,
by neglecting to take proper care of their
teeth. There can be no excuse for this,
as Sozodont, pronounced by all worthy a
place between the sweetest lips, can now
be had in all civilized countries.

Hannibal (Mo.) Courier.]
The notorious Bill Solon, the mostdan-
gerous and desperate of Hannibal hood-
lnms, having recently been released from
Palmyra jail, has been distinguishing
■himself for a week past by attacking and
beating various persons. Yesterday
afternoon Constable Anderson arrested
Solon on one of the warrants, and took
him before Judge Richmond, at the
Recorder’s office. Having applied for
tail, Judge Richmond was making out
the necessary papers, when Solon asked
(Bow much the bond would be, and was
informed that it would be fixed at $500.
“You might as well make it a thousand,”
skid the prisoner, in his insolent way.
Ihe judge replied that there was another
warrant out for him, and when that came
he would require another $500. This
ujeensed So;on, and he called the judge
a; “d—d old grey-headed Ecoundrel.’
" "ge Richmond, always prompt to resent
insult, grasped his cane, and descend-
from the bench grasped the prisoner
the collar and proceeded to adminis-
r an extra judicial castigation. In the
’ file Judge Richmond in some way
t his footing and fe’lto the floor prone
u»on his face, when Solon commenced
kicking him in a most vicious and brutal
manner about the head and face. Quite a
g&h in the scalp on the top ot his head.thi
skin^of the left cheek peeled and the eye
bllfekened, a severe contusion on the leti
arm, and an injury to one of his hands,
are among the wounds received by thv
judge. He soon regained his feet in
a bleeding and battered condition, when
Solon took to his heels and ran down
stairs, but was soon brought back by the
Constable. He was committed Palmyra
jail until the court was in better condi
tion to give him a fair trial.
Alabama and Her Debts-
The following 13 from the New Orleans
Picayune of a recent date :
‘The government of .Alabama did a
very wise thing in getting up the peculiar
kind of settlement which it made with
its English creditors. Instead of paying
them in money for its gold bonds of 1870,
the Stale gives them a large quantity of
land. The English creditors being now
landed proprietors in Alabama, find it a
ver_v prudent thing to develop the resour
ces of their property. These are found
to ba immense, especially in the way of
mines. Good coal and iron of the very
best quality pbouud. Experiments sbow
them that they can produce better pig
iron, and at cheaper rates, than in Eng
land or in any other States of this coun
try, and a movement is now on foot to
send a considerable emigration of miners
and agriculturalists to their Alabama
possessions, with all the capital necessary
to inaugurate important works on the
proper footing.
“Wisdom is better than inheritance,
and Alabama H probably about to gather
the rich fruit of shrewdness. Without
any dishonesty whatever, she has man
aged to convert her creditors into the
most influential sort of immigration
agents, actually enriching herself by
paying her debts, and enriching her
creditors by paying them against their
will.”
The Montgomery Advertiser has this
to say in addition :
“The State of Alabama transferred to
the holders of what is known as the $3,-
000,000 straight bonds, in aid of the Ala
oama and Chattanooga railroad, the
land referred to in the above extract.
The reports are very favorable regarding
the prospect of English and other settler:
aloDg the line of the road.
A SL Louis schoolboy gave his teach
er this excellent definition of responsi
bility :
“Boys has two buttons for their
s’penders so’s to keep their pants np.
When one button comes off, why, there’s

Astonishing Success.
It Is the doty of every person n?ho has
used Bosohee’s German Sracp to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their friends
in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat
and lung diseases. No person can use it
withont immediate relief. Three doses will
relieve any case, and we consider it the duty
of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor
dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as 40,033 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was reported.
Such a medicine as the German SrRur cannot
be too widely known. Ask your Druggist
about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at lU
cents. Regular size 75 cents. For sale by
all Druggist3.
Consumption Cured
An old physician, retired from active prac
tice, having had placed in his hands by an
East Indian missionary the tormula of
simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and
permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung
affections; also a positive and radical cure for
General Debility and all nervous complaints,
after having thoroughly tested its wonderful
curative powers in thousands of cases, feels
it his duty to make it known to his sufferin;
ferow8. The recipe will be sent free of
charge, to all who desire it, with full direo
tions for preparing and successfully using.
