Our advertising columns present, as usual, many
attractions. The late hour at which we receive the
favors of many of our advertising patrons, and
the very crowded state of oar columns, render it
impossible to give them the usual local notice to- j
day. We shall certainly notice all next week
when we shall have space todothem justice. In the i
mean time, let our readers not fail to read our ad- j
vertiseuients—you will find something there for
YOU.

recommend a diet of wheat bran mail, or boiled I

but no work, during the sickness. As the best
cure, we giv«j the following tukiu Irorn the Edge

HOW TO CURE Tile KPIZOOTY.
Col. Bacon gives us a recipe which lie assures us
.js a certain euro. One ounce of Beniodide of Mer
cury (commonly called feed Precipitate) mix-d with
two ounces of hogs lard. Trim the hnir away a lit
tle* from the glands of the horse and rub the glands
briskly with this ointment, applied and rubied with
the fingers. After rubbing, apply a coating of the
ointment; then walk die horse gently for an hour
or an hour and ft half, to keep him from rubbing it
off'. This blisters tho glands and throat. Only oue
application necessary. Horse must not be worked
while the disease is on him.
Wc also append soma Certificates, anrTcaH atten
tirn to the new remedy called Bromo-Chloralum,
which is a preventive as well .as a cure. This medi
cine is put up in pnt bottles, by Tilden & Cos., No.

BROMO-CHLOBALUM AS A PRKVEXTIVE IJf THK HORSE
DISEASE.
Baltimore Geaette, Nov. 2nd, has the following
important information :
The horses at Jetome Park racecourse stable,
New Yoik, have enjoyed an entire exemption from
the prevailingdMeniper, which is attributab e to
the use of this disinfectant.
St. Lawrence Hall, Montreal, Oct. 31,*72. Messrs.
Tilden &, Cos.:
Gents—The trial of Bromp-Chloralum at tho City
Passenger H. It. Sitibfet, proved entirely ‘atisfactory,
and «r. t ß conducted by Dr. Swinburne, V. S.
'ldle horses no sooner relieved by syringing
the nose and washing the mouth, than they evinced
their relief and improved condition, by commenc
ing at once to eat the food before them.
The Tournament, which was to have taken
place on the Gth, came off Friday last, in our town,
eliciting considerable interest from our citizens es
pecially on the part of the ladies. The day was
very cold and windy, but notwithstanding the dis
agreeable weather, quite a crowd was in attend
ance to witness tho performances, and good hu
mor and general enjoyment reigned supreme.
All things considered, the aspirants for knightly
honors acquitted themselves with much credit,and
we think, with a little more experience and prac
tice will be able to compete successfully with the
most skillful “Tournamentists,” of the State. Can
dor, however, compell- us to say, that, in our opin
ion some of the younger and more susceptible of the
Sir Knights would have done much better but for
the nervous embarrassment and delightful confu
sion occasioned by the presence of so many of Mc-
Duffie’s bright-eyed belles.
The following gentlemen were selected Judges:
J. T. Stovall, J. T. Wright, T. A. Scott, J. W.
Thomas, D. B. Johnson, W. Tommy O’Neal
and It. Toombs Barksdale.
Our space will not admit of a separate notice of
the different riders, and their various and surpri
sing feate of horsemanship, but the following is a
list of the Knights and the number of points scor
ed by each:
B. A. Embree 17 ; L. S. Wilkerson 20 ; W. O.
Harrison 14 ; Justin Reese 1G ; B. B. Martin 25
B. S. Embree 21 : Dr. E. S. Harrison 29; T. V.
Hamilton 16; B. M. Evans 9; J. H. Casey 30 ;
A. H. Sturgis 27; R. W. Ramsey 204; Sam
Rouark 7
The festivities of the occasion were closed with
a hop at the Courthouse, w ich, as usual, was en
joyed to the fullest by the fair ladies and gallant
knights. Mr. J. H Casey crowned Miss Willie
Richards, Queen of Love and Beaufcv. Dr- E. S.;
Harrison crowned Miss Julia Benton first Maid of
Honor. Lieut. A. H. Sturgis, being a married
man, gracefully yielded his right to select the sec
ond Maid of Honor to Mr. W. 0- Harrison, who
crowned Miss Georgia Durham. Mr. B. B. Mar
tin crowned Miss Julia Wilson third Maid of Hon
