many old camp-yarns were spuu there that

Hiuooil to be
lost, 1 will tell It to you. It was d u ring the
brlghtestdnys 01 lhe conlisleracy, wbeu our
army was eueamped at Bowling Hreeu, Ky.,
Col. Brown was wanting another horse.
, For some reason he couid not leave bis
post to find oue, and very naturally sought
tb rough lite command for some oue whose
1 judgment he could trust, lo go and buy one
'for him. C, of eompauy "('.," having a
good borso record, was the lucky one. Well,
after being duly and truly prepared with
the licessary pa-es, he started for eiinsgow,
Ky. in due time lie returned horseless,
: couldn't riuel any I hiug near wbut be waul

II leu 10 1100 one I ui I
tried lo rind one. l or the next week lhe
r'lr at ' '',ll"",'l!, wU come off, aud he
wanted to go there. W eil, alter talking the
mtng over to ( (H. 11., anei (eltnig ol mauy
of tho fluftst horses 111 the world, and thai
they would be at the Fair, aud ti was such a
Kood place to make lhe purchase. Col. B.
1 started him oil again. Well, C, stretched
a two week's furlough out of that, and 11
' tinned again horseless, Willi a long lace
and sad counleuauee he told ol 11, 11 and
I that.ee , how lliey could go, etc.; "but ( olo
' nel your limit to me was loo short. I f you
; bad uot limited me I could of got you the

1 ever thought ol Brown's horse till Hie wbls
J He blowesd at Bowliug ircen, wheu he re

McKlree's Wine of Cardul Is advertised
in another column. It Is recommended by
Homo of the best men in Tennessee. There
is great prejudice against advertised medi
cines; but this is a home medicine, made ut
home by a good man, known and respected
as a man of Ood. The cures effected by 1 his
niediclue are numerous. Testimonials can
be had of hundreds ol the first lathes In the
stale, of cures effected. We believe we are

surely the iveople of Alaury county have
reason to feel gratified to the Oiver of good
things for the temporal blessings t hey bay
; received this year. They had a large wheat
crop, and the snow covered it and preserved
: it, and caused it to make an abundant yield.
The moo Ih of May was dry, and the farmers
were enabled lo get their cotton antl coru
crops clean and lu good condition for tbe
uninterrupted rains which rune gentlv to
the earth 111 June and July, making tbe ears
of corn fill ou.. The crop is above ibeaver-
. age, aud tbe tanners have ou baud a supply
01 old corn, not wltlistaudiua: th-y shipped
, many thousand bushels to Cottou Kilt. And,
as a climax to all this, tbe Fall has been a
bcaulilui dry one, aud tlie nost has been
late in coming, thus giv ing cottou time to
mature aud opportunity to open, aud llie
farmers lo pick 11 oui. Surely, surelv, our
