DEATH’S SAD BOLE.
Tennessee has lost one of her most
distinguished citizens in the .death of
ex Governor John C. Brown. He first
came into prominence in 1860 as a
strong opponent of secession. W hen

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
On Friday morning hut, between
4 and 6 o’clock, tho dining room nt
taelied to the residence of Mrs. G. T.
Wells, was discovered to be on fire.
The cook room was also on fire. The
alarm was Hounded, hut owing to the
early hour few jieople were up, how
ever in u littlo while a large crowd
hud gathered, the hook and ladder
hoys being among the first to appear.
The Humes were past control and the
people went to work in earnest to save
the contents of the resilience and pro
tect the homes of Mr. E. O. Lee and
Mrs. Lizzie Wright. Everything was
saved from four rooms, hut all of the
ht'ibling, blankets, etc. which bail been
packed away for winter use, were de
stroyed. All of the crockery, provis
ions, canned fruits, jellies, etc., and
all the dining und cook room furni
ture went down in ashes, including
890 worth of solid silver ware, and no
trace of this ware has been found in
lin* ruins up to this time. Mrs. Wells
kept her clothes in a bed-room closet,
or stationary wardrobe, and only sav
ed one ojd dress beside the wrap she
wore on that unfortunate August
morning. Her, daughter, Miss Sal
lie, lost quite a number of clothes,
fine bed quilts, new blankets, spreads,
etc., including u silk quilt, the work
of hig own fair hands
An insurance policy of 81.200 was
held in the Southern Mutual on the
residence, which will be promptly ad
justed by Major Jas. M. Pace. This
amount will .he sufficient to re build
a very comfortable cottage home, and
the same will be erected at the earliest
possible day. Immediately nf.er the
fire Mrs. Wells secured rooms in the
Covington Hotel, purchased all the
necessary art icles needed and was able
to welcome her hoarders with an ele
gant dinner at Saturday noon. Her
generous sons, Tom and Henry, gave
her all the aid and comfoit in their
power, and she soon became reconcil
ed to her misfortunes and in her old
age renews the battle of life with new
hopes, determined to reap success
again by industry and on faltering en
ergv llenrv tendered her his home
and pressed her to take it, but she
firmly, yet gently declined to accept,
as it was not near enough to the pub
lic square to suit her guests and day
boarders. Mrs. Wells and family re
turn thanks for the kindness shown
them during and since the fire, and
feel grateful to all who assisted in
saving their goods from the burn
ing The origin of the fire is so far
unknown. No file had been in the
house since early supper time the eve
ning before. It may* have been acci
dental, and again, it may have been
the work of a thieving incendiary.—

TEMPERANCE,
BwX'This Department is under the con
trol nud management of The Woman’s
Chris!inn Temperance Union of (ienrsiu
DON'T TREAT.
It is said that tho Auti-Trenting
Societies.*, formed in New York a year
or two ago, have already produced
much practical good for temperance.
Why cannot these organization* In*
extended quite generally throughout
the country ?
The drinking habit is quite gener
ally acquired through our viciously
absurd methods of “treating-" If it
were not a condition of our social
code to make drinking u part of the
convivial amenities of life, most men
would never think of drinking strung
whisky und old rum, any more than
they would think of drinking kcro
sine or cod liver oil. To ask a young
man to take a drink of whisky whose
stomach had not lieeii demoralized to
the whisky standard, is about equiva
lent to asking him to take a social
glas> of benzine. Any man’s stom
ach will in time learn to accommodate
itself to strange visitors. Mithrid
ates trained hunaelf toeaA poison, and
there are plenty of men in the coun
try to-day who publicly dine, in the
dime museums, ou a dinner of win
dow glass and lamp chimneys. But
in order to do this they must educate
their stomachs ; and this is precisely
wlmt the habitual whisky drinker
does.
Nov*;, no one will drink or eat nau
seous fools or liquids unless it is the
fashion to do so ; unless there is some
imperious social code which they im
agine must not be broken. The habit
of eating is just such an exorable
code. Take away this social element
from our drinking customs, and the
younger generation, at least that part
of it that is not poisoned by heredita
jry taint, will not contract drinking
habits at all.
It would be Well for our generation
if these Anti-Treating Societies should
multiply. If it is not practicable to
form large societies of this kind in
any community, let each man form
himself into a society of one.
Newton County Real Estate
AND BUSINESS AGENCY.
The gentlemen who place this notice be
fore our citizens under the foregoing head
ing have concluded that the time has fully
arrived for something to be done in the di
rection of bringing to the knowledge .of -ihe
people at large the merits and attractive
features of Newton Count}’, as a county for
residence, business, manufacturing and
farming. It was felt that, while every resi* j
dent and business man is personally inter-.
ested in this and desires that attention
should be called to the advantages of our
county and no organized body or appoint-:
ed officials had taken an}* steps to accom
plish it, someone or some few individuals,
with only the good and advancement of
our local interests to incite them, must
j start such an enterprise. This we now
propose to do—wondering as every lover
of home and patriot does, that it had ne'er
been done before.
The first and immediate object of this
agency will be to prepare a suitable adver
tising pamphlet, copies of which are to be
placed at the coming fairs and expositions
io be held in this state and elsewhere, in
order that the visiting peoples of the south,
east, west and north and even from foreign
countries, may know something of our
county and see the inducements they have
to buy, live and do business among us- —
The pamphlet will contain notices of every
lot or piece of land for sale, or that may
at any time be for sale, farms for sale, resi
dences and business houses for sale, and
any other fixed property for sale; and in
addition notices or cards of advertisement
of every establishment, business, institu
tion, enterprise, profession, and all advan
tages and facilities and openings, natural
and otherwise, that are among our public
and private interests.
Such a comprehensive display in print
will touch every one of us in some special
way and the entire citizenship on one side,
namely—the building up of Newton county.
But to carry out this purpose the effort
must lie recognized and supported by our
j people. Barties with lands or houses or
other property to advertise should furnish
descriptions,—localities, qualities, condi
i tions and any items to draw special atten
tion to them
If mea have property to sell they need
not be told that to dispose of it to the best
advantage, it should be known to the wid
est public. What is here proposed will se
cure that most effectually. And the special
cause for giving the most widespread no
tice to any salable propert}’ here will lie
that the entire county as a section and lo
cality is. advertised along with it. Thus
then will be a double advertising, the prop
erty itself and its surroundings
There is moreover not a business man,
no merchant, no mechanic, no machinist,
no miller no other manufacturer, no school
nor educational institution, no profession,
no corporation doing business that shall not
he directly effected beneficially by the re- ;
suits of the published catalogue which we !
propose to circulate.
Inis is a labor of love and duty, not gain.
Newton county is as good one with all its
advantages ami facilities considered ns any
in the state- Let us unite in one publica
tion to tell the world so. Send us descrip
tions snd notice.

“Another wonderful discovery has been

Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for

her vital organs were undermined and death

soughed incessantly and could not sleep. She
i ought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New L>is
