houses in the large cities.

Return OF Col. FuIkerson.

Col. Fulkerson, our excellent and
yigilant delegate to the Va, LegisIa-
ture, came home quite sick on Satur>
day of last week. 1t was also his
misfortune to be one of the passen-
gers who received injuries from the
Railroad accident near Bonsacks. He
left again for Richmond on Monday
last, and although much improved
had not fully recovered. His brief
record in the House OF Delegates is a
very gratifying one. He has fought
the Funding BIZ inch by inch. In
like many others of less influence he
has been apparently silent, but has
been busily at work, We have now
before US letter from a gentlemen
quite recently from Richmond, in
which Col. Fulkerson is very highly
complimented as one OF the lnfuen-
tial and efficient members of that
body. OF course it cannot be other
wise, Who ever knew him to be
neutral or inactive in any important
thing before him? The world is full
of contests and Col. Fulkerson is a
e fighter. He wars against conspira-
cies and evil designs wherever they
arise. There are very important meas
ureS which will yet come before the
Legislature at its present session.
That body viii be asked, as the last one
was, TO sell out Virginia. When that
issue arises Col. f., will be found ar
rayed against the proposition ard
then we will more fully explain our
allusion. OF one thing our readers
may be sure. He will resist every
effort to increase the present rate of
taxation, and if this course should
displeaSc the bond,holders they can
whine and rave without restraint.

would apT ly to the Chancery Court
of Blountville, for the appointment Of
a board of appraisers to assess the
damages which would accrue to him

resulted from the failure Of the plan
Of the town board under the recent

was Illegal. Mr.. Anderson will reF

sn5crIand Gap Eailrcld.


We have the pleasure Of annomc>
iny to our readers that it is now the
purpose of Gen Malone to have the
entire lire from Bristol to Cumber-
land Gap, ready to let to contract
against the lst Of April next. Gen.
Hoffman, Chief Engineer iii the field,
and Major Fisher are now in our
town engaged upon Office work. and
il few weeks will be ready with an
enlarged corps of engineers to make
the final location. We do hope our
citizens along the proposed lines will
see the necessity of vieing with each
other in liberality toward Mr.. l.. F.
Johnson in his negotiation for the
right of way. The citizens of BlOunt
Vile have very recently come forward
with most generous propositions. 1t
will most certainly b C very unwise
thing for the people of Washington
county to imagine that they are in no
danger of loosing the line. Gen.
Malone has no right to disregard
those great advantages which either
party may place within his reach.
Let Bristol and the people upon the
lines generally, now show the enlarg-
ed spirit which would actuate them,
if they were about to see the road 90
elsewhere. These words are not ut
tered without meaning.

IN defiance of all the torture, of all
the might, of all the malice of the
world, the liberal man will ever be
rich: for Gods providence is. his estate,
Gods wisdom and power are his de-
fence, Gods love and favor are his re-
ward.
THERE are little things often that
trouble us and that render us impa-
tient of the end. Yet God is as much
alive to these as to those of greater
magnitude. Let us trust Him, then
in these. The fret and the worry of
soul concerning them, in which so
many indulge, is idle. Worse than
that, it is sinful and works harm.

cloth, and rub with the wrong side of
it on the paint spot if 10 other
cloth is at hand, para of the inside of

your finger.
