We intend that the many Subscribers
and friends who have borne with the

various stages Of growth, shall have no
cause whatever to desert 1t for not Keep
ing fully up to the times and in advance
of al! competition. While, at this time,
we are not Offering prospectus, we will
take occasion to say that, as heretofore.
tho ADVERTISER will contain the full
official reports of all county business
Board of Supervisors proceedings, reg
ular reports Of the various county
officers, &C., &C., ~ we'll as the full
record OF current county news in general
which is to be expected from county
paper. We do not deem 1t necessary t.
emphatically assert the ADvERTIsER's
political proclivIties, or how deep they

the paper itself.
While the increased expense Of pub
fishing 80 large paper makes the
proposed change something Of 40 ex
neriment. the more 80 on account Of thu
unusually low price-there not being

THE Davenport Gazette Of last Satur-
day gives an extended obituary notice of
Prof. w. o. Hiskey, who died at Min
neapolis on the End inst, from apoplexy.
Mr.. Hiskey's first educational WORK in
Iowa was at Upton. He came here in
1859, only year after his graduation
from Otterviile College, Ohio, and most
worthiIy and acceptably filled the posi-.
ton of Principal Of the Graded Schools
for one year. The inducements which
Upton offered could not keep him long
er, and he went to Davenport. and was
eminently successful there in his pro.
fession. Going to Minneapolis in 1865,
he first filled the position of Principal OF
the High School, aud for the three years
next preceding his death, that Of City
Superintendent of schools, finishing his
work a. stated above-the result of ex
cessive and continued labor.

WE remember mother williamson
for very old woman twelve years ago
when the fortunes of country school
teaching domiciled US for q short time

from time inimemorial, In little house
on 1.-The Ridge" some four miles west Of
Upton, first with four of her daughters,
then with three, aud two, as death broke
into the circle; and the family were
known quite widely for managing their
little farm and its stock, indoors and out
all the year round, almost without any
male help whatever. In pursuance Of
this long habit, the old lady, now an
octogenarian, one day, \ few weeks ago,
walked to Deans Mill, a distance Of two
miles, and returned, carrying for more
than bali Of the way. a sack Of flour upon
her aged shoulders. 1t was too much
u severe cold was taken, and In less than
week her work was ended and the
daughters left alone to continue the
battle.

Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1871-02-09

From every portion of our country, We
have the cheering and glorious intelligence
of the deep spiritual concern of the people.
Probably at Nd period has it been so sin
cere, thorough and universal. Many have
been awakened to the enormity of their
sins, and to a keen sense of tho value of
their souls and the inexpressible import
ance of their regeneration, over whom
dear religious friends have shed bitter
tears and uttered fervent prayers almost
without hope. The Lord is moving in
His own good but mysterious way, per-
forming the wonders of His everlasting
mercy and grace. He is disturbing souls
tranquil in the decisions of the wicked
One, and shedding his quickening beams
upon their benighted nature. I'll g %jailor's
cry is heard on every hand, from the Wa
kened sinner, 'What must l do to be
saved?" and the response from the faith
full ambassadors of Christ, believe and
thou shalt be saved" converts the timid,
doubling Thomas into the bold. confident
christian Peter.
This glorious work, with all its blessed
results, springs from the unity of all de-
nominations. Sectarianism and religious
jealousy fee from the consecrated places
of the birth Of souls. The gospel cf a
common Saviour, and an universal Atone
ment is preached in the rich plenitude of
its power, and the unlimited compass of
its charity, b~enevolence and love. These
r~evivals are union meetings indeed and in
truth-unions of heart, souls, earnest
prayers and praising voices. Ministers Of
the Baptist, Cumberland Presbyterian,
Methodist Episcopal, Methodist L. South,
and Presbyterian, are faithful, untiring,
determined ~co-laborers in this vineyard of
the Lord. The Great Master, pleased with
this heart-and soul mingling, has opened
the windows of Heav IN and poured down
his blessings upon their united exertions.
God will ever reward such christian con.
duct and effort, with the richest f~ruitage
of His mercy, grace and love. Such reli-
gious enthusiasm, zeal and ferv ency will
not fire the hearts of saints, without i'm
parting their lustre to sinners.
We now have a practical illustration of
what may aud has already been done by
earnest, cordial, christian unity and CO.
operation. Doctrinal controversies and
UNCONVENTIONAL dissensions can claim nc
such glorious triumphs-no such soul-con-
v~incing and soul-saving calculations of the
simple, sublime, and all-comprehensive
plan of human redemption. The one is
the storm sweeping over the ripened field
beating the golden grain to the GARTH
The other is the reaper, who rejoicing In
the comforting joys of the harvest season,
plies gently his sickle and binds up the
sure bundle of eternal life for the king
dom of the Lord and Master. May tie
good work continue until our whole oun
try shall be a land of ~fervent, earnest,
praying christians.
