us this morning that the proposed new
county, Nashoba, has received its quietus
for the present, and the further consider
alton is postponed until the November
session, when its rest should be pro-
longed ad infinitum. Mr.. Cubbins, very
properly we think, is opposed to the for

fer Memphis as the most convenient

THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION

Knox county in a convention to be held
in this city, on the second Monday in

We are gratifed to learn that the good
people of Knox county, fully approaching
the importance of holding convention
to nominate Supreme Judges, have APP
pointed delegates for the purpose, who,
with others from the different divisions
az the State. will meet in Nashville on
the second Monday in July next. 1t
was thought at one time by the friends
from West Tennessee, that the Eastern
Division would not respond to the call
for the convention, which mere conjec-
ture is turning out to be great mistake
-uresuming. as we do, that the action
of this single county is an indication of
what they all may do before the day of
meeting comes round The citizens of
Shelby will meet tonight and appoint
their delegates to 90 to this convention,
and we learn that Upton, Haywood,
Hardeman and Madison will also take
nroner measures to have their people
represented, on the day named, at Nash
Vile. Fayette county has sent her dele
gates to supposed convention on the
eth of July, who may be induced to re-
main over until the second Monday,
being the llth of the month, which is
the time generally agreed on. We earn
estly hope that Middle Tennessee will be
induced TO move in this matter before
the day of meeting, as there is yet time
TO do so. If, however, there is hkeii-
hood of failure in getting together a
State Convention, it would then be adj
yisable for the people of West Tennessee
10 hold a District Convention for the
purpose Of nominating the two eandi-
dates who, when elected, shall represent
as on the Supreme Bench. This last
would be the only way left US to secure
competent and acceptable men from this
division of the State for the Supreme
Bench in case there should be failure
in having a general convention. As far
as possible we will keep the people in
formed of the action, or non-aetion. OF
the various counties in the State in APP
pointing delegates to the said convention
at Nashville, that we may govern our
selves accordingly.

Want Of Vitality. Sometimes there Is a
lack Of vitality in large and apparently we'll
developed frames. Herculean sinews and
muscles are not always indicative Of stamina

Health depends more upon the condition Of
the stomach, the liver and the bowels, than
upon the breadth Of the shoulders. or the size
Of loose levers and pulleys Of the system in
which strength Is supposed TO reside. Allthis
grand animal machinery Is Of itself no pro-
tective against sickness and decay. Easy and
perfect digestion. regular and healthy secre-
lions, uncontaminated blood. and a regular
discharge of the waste matter Of the body
through the intestines. the kidneys and the
pores, are the most potent safeguards against
disease. the best guarantees Of longevity. To
promote these objects Is he great end and purpose
az Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The ingre-
dents Of which the Great Tonic and Alternative
Is composed are taken solely from the vege-
table kingdom. and their medicinal virtues
are not counterbalanced by the acid and
poisonous elements which exist, more or less,
in all the powerful mineral drugs. Sufferers
from Indigestion. biliousness. intermittent

agreeable stimulant and invigorant, but be-

they feel as if they had acquired new hold on
