TOWN AND GOUNTY NEWS. Gathered in And Around Town By Our Resident And County Reporters. Mr. J. 13, Beyer is in town spending a few days. Four new pupils entered Tazewell Col? lege on Tuesday. March came in like a lion. Let us hope it will go out like a lamb. Mr. A. B. Buchanan, of Benbow, was in town Tuesday greeting bis many friends. Some of our merchants will not adver? tise. They are making a great mistake. The revival at the colored Methodist church is going on, and the meetings are well attended. Dr. Pierce was quite sick and confined to his bed when his house caught lire on Tuesday night. Yesterday was as disagreeable day, so far as the weather is concerned, as we evir saw in this country.

Peery & Haynes, the new firm, are out in a circular announcing that until April 1st they mean to sell for cash only, all goods on their shelves and counters at a profit not to exceed 2d per cent, on FIRST cost (not cost and carriage). They say they will sell many things at cost and a few (not many) even BELOW cost. This sale affords a rare chance for their custo? mers to obtain rood goods at very low prices. They carry a general line?l>ry Goods, Notions, tiueensware, Groceries, Saddles, Harness, Hridles, Trunks, Valises ?and invite inspection of goods and prices. Barns Gillespie is still confined to the house, but his friends hope to see him at his office before a great while.

Mr. Joseph Clem, who started the new Racket Store at this place several months ago, has concluded to return to Waynet boro, Ya. Miss Peggy Whitman, daughter of Mr. J. P. Whitman, and Mrs. Chas.

I It is saiil that there are five or more cases of smallpox at Cleveland, in Rus? sell county. There are eight or ten cases near the village. What is the matter that we do not hear of any weddings in our community ? Is the war scare interrupting those matrimo? nially inclined ? O-r efficient postmaster, Mr. W. G. Y'oung, has ordered more lock boxes for bis otlice, as there are not enough to sup? ply the demand.

Hopkins, of Thompson Valley, was in town yesterday, and informs us he will open up a store in his handsome, new building, at the head of Tazewell Avenue, about the first of May. Why don't the business men of the town start a movement to organize a "Business Men's Club ?" The business of the town is sufficient to justify it and the future interests of the trade demand it.

Surface left on Monday afternoon for the bl''.egrass regions of Kentucky. Messrs. 'Ja?"-.;, and Moore went with the object of selecting and buying a highbre 1 and trained saddle horse for the purpose of introducing a new strain in the horse? flesh of the county. There is great com? plaint about the saddle horses of the county being, as a general thing, too small. It is the purpose of Messrs. Barns and Moore to secure a stallion that will have size, strength and perfect gaits, if possible. We hope they will succeed. Mr. Surface went to look at the Kentucky mules. He is great on the mule, knows a good one wheu he sies it, and knows how to sell them. STATE NEWS. The Stamford Dye Works, at Lynchburg, Va., were destroyed by tire at 1 o'clock last Sunday morning.

Ayer's Cherry Pteiorffl promptly relieves the cough, stops the tickling in the throat, and in? duces quiet and refreshing sleep. ^ Size % Price, FACTS ABOUT SAFFRON. Its Cue In Medicine Has Prnctlcnllr Died Oat. Saffron would strike an ordinary cb server as decidedly expensive at 50 shil? lings per pound until told that it is composed of the central small portions only of the flowers of a species of crocus, I 70,000 of which it takes to yield the ma? terial for one pound. The wonder then becomes that it is so cheap, that it can pay to grow and gather it at the price. As a matter of fact, it has failed to pay the English grower?by this retaining, in the name of his town of Saffron Walden, but a hint of former impor? tance in this particular direction? French and Spanish soils being more suitable to the full growth of the flowers and foreign labor cheaper in the work of picking. Its use in medicine has practically died out, bar, perhaps, the popular belief that, steeped In hot milk or eider, it helps the eruption of measles to fully appear, says Chambers' Journal. As a dye in creaming curtains and to give a rich appearance to cake it is still, however, in general demand; for which purpose it Is well suited, in be^jig both harmless and strong, one grain, composed of the style and stigmas of nine flowers, being sufficient to give a distinct yellow tint to ten gallons of water. Its high price, by the way, has led to a peculiar form of adulteration; for, apart from the crude and common? place one of dusting with a heavy pow? der, such as gypsum, to give weight, the similar portions of other and commoner flowers have been specially dyed and worked thoroughly in among the genu? ine ones. THE JACK RABBITS OF TEXAS. Not Commonly Used as an Article of Food. "The bigrabbits or hares that hangln front of Washington restaurants are not the jackrabbits or 'mule ears' that abound on the Texas prairies," said Mr. C. O. Kerns, of the Lone Star state, re? ports the Washington Post. "The sort that we have and that are common all through the southwest are of a brown color, identical with their small 'cotton? tail' brethren that abound in Virginia and Maryland, and that are numerons all through the old southern states. These imported hares with white bellies come from Canada, where nil wild zsi fZ3 Consumption Will SCOTTS EMULSION cure consumption ? Yes and no. Will it cure every case ?

I should say that ours will get over the ground twice as fast as their Canadian cousins. A greyhound is the only ani? mal, in fact, that can overtake a mule ear. An ordinary dog rtver forgets him? self so far as to chase one for even the distance of a city block. It would be a rank waste of canine energy to do so. The jackrabbit is regarded at home more as an ornament to the landscape than anything else. Hungry men in camp who have run out of ordinary grub will occasionally kill them to stop the pangs of hunger, and they are said to be really fine eating, but they are not regarded as fit for the menu of the average Texas family." ?The Chinese have a god for every disease, even for mumps and measles.

Once a Prominent Slave Market Where Thomanda of Ncffrocs Hare Been Sold?Some His? torie Event?. There stands In the center of the principal street of the quaint old town of Louisville, Ua., n queer structure. It was built so long ago that those who have grown old and gray in this former capital of the state cannot tell of its early history. Somewhere In che early days before the "Yazoo speculation" tfhis old "slave market" was erected, and, althoug-h built of wood, it has stood the storms of time, and the hewn post oak beams and pillars nre as sound now ns on that day when the wrought-iron nails were first driven into them, and the bell, which now hangs cracked and toneless as a curi? osity, pealed forth its brazen tones, calling the dealer to bid at the "nigger sale." A very few people know that Louis? ville was ever the capital of Georgia. The star of empire talcing its way west? ward came first to Savannah, then Au? gusta, and on the ICth day of May, 1795, the seat of government was changed from Augusta to this little island vil? lage, and here remained until 1S04? after which Milledgcville was selected, and, at a cost of $115,000, a capitol was erected. It was at Louisville that tlhe papers and documents connected with that giant swindle, the "Yazoo frauds," were burned by Gen. James Jackson. The story of the Yazoo frauds is a long and intricate history. It is stated that more than 100 duels were fought about it. The pith of the story is about as follows: During the first years subsequent to the revolution a few wealthy and un? scrupulous men under oath of secrecy formed what was known as the Com? bined society. Their scheme was to bribe theOeorgia legislature and to buy from the state 3j.000.0OO acres of land in western Georgia. Alabama and Mississippi, and the price for all tRiis territory was only to be !?.*00.000. This purchase would have taken in what is now the best part of three pop? ulous states. These old-time swindlers only wanted a part of the earth. This would have been a deed to all Atlanta, Chattanooga, Memphis, to say nothing of 10,000 smaller towns. The arch swindler was one Thomas Washington, alias Walsh, a man of wonderful parts History tells of (how the giant specu? lator failed principally through the courageous efforts of Gen. James Jack? son. The conspirators actually car? ried their bill through both houses of the legislature and the governor's sig? nature was attached. On January 22, 179G, the general as? sembly met and rescinded the action of the former body. Gen. Jackson, for? merly United States senator, resigned his seat in the senate, came home and was elected a member of this legisla? ture from Chatham county. lie en? gineered the rescinded bill through. On the day following, by the order of both houses, a fire was kindled in the square and all the records and docu? ments were publicly burned. The clerk of the house was required to cry in a loud voice: "God save the state and long preserve her rights, and may every attempt to injure her per? ish as these wicked and corrupt acts now do." This occurred in tlhe year of our Lord 1799. Ninety-eight years ago. Yet there can be seen in the courthouse yard, <under the spreading shades, the shallow excavation in the ground into which the papers were piled. The old governor's mansion was only torn away last year, the capitol disap? peared many years ago, and the old slave market which inspires this sketch will soon, too, give way before tlhe march of nineteenth century push. A water tower will probably take the place of this hoary sentinel of time. An old gentleman whom I met on the streets of Louisville, and whose gray hair and tottering form I could not help comparing to the ancient landmark, said: "I know I've seen a thousand niggers bid off here. The bell which hangs in? side you will notice bears the French coat of arms and is stamped 1772. I Siave heard that this bell was captured in colonial days from the deck of a French privateer. It has only been cracked since a few years before the war." The strangest part of the story is the wonderful preservation of the timbers in the old structure. They are all hewn oak, put together with wrought-iron nails, and the wood is so hard that I don't believe it would be possible to drive a nineteenth century -iil into it with an ax. Louisville of to-day Is still unpreten? tious. It is the county seat of Jeffer? son?named from that great father of democracy and declarations. Louisville has a one-gallus railroad, which blows a long blow 15 minutes be? fore the train starts back to the Central railroad connection at Wadley, Ga. The old town has many beautiful homes and quiet, aristocratic families, who trace their lineage back to colonial times.?Atlanta Journal. Oysters anil Macaroni.
