OUR SIXTH VOLUME.


To-day we Issue the first number
of the sixth volume of the Bristol
News nnder its present manage
ment. During a portion OF the
five years alluded to The late "Ju-
Nor Editor" rendered valuable ser
vice upon it, but it may be said
that the paper has in no material
sense undergone change of policy,
control or management.
In these days ofnewspaper ven
lures, it is no mean comment to say
that in q town, no larger than
Bristol and with no greater local
patronage than Bristol affords, a
newspaper has for five years served
a local demand. Since August 1868
there have been very few issues of
the News unmarked by the labor
of the present Editor. 1t has been
hard service and its reward has
been moderate except to the pub
lie. We need not affirm that we
have labored tor the development
of Bristol and the Country con
riguous 10 it. We do not hesitate
to believe that we are entitled to
something in the way Of good opin-
ion from those for whom we have
fought. We have endeavored to
show that it is a possibility for Bris,
tol to be developed into an upland
city, Of no mean proportions, and
we can with truth affirm that in al
which makes town a benefit to g
people and in those solid advance
ments which defy retrogresSior
Bristol has surpassed any one be-
tween Lynchburg and Knoxville
We are not discouraged for it'
future. Never was there a time
when we had more to expect, new
er was Bristol so solid, proud anC
prosperous as now. The thriftlefs
the idle and the profigate will fai
here in the future as in the past
1t has been so al all growing pcintl
and it will be so again. But The
cautious, wise and prudent business
man, has only to bepatient and bolt
to insure success.
1t has been our desire to founC
and develope a solid and stable
newspaper, one net afraid to chal-
lenge public sentiment when 1t /
misinformed rprecipitate, one no
afraid to await that wise public yer
dict which the people will Away
give in the end. No communit,
can be well served without a wei
established permanent newspaper
A public journal must have age ant
character, if it is to be etficien
and influential.
We have committed errors, bu
we have tried to redress them ant
on the summing up Of the Who'll
matter to deserve the public esteem
We shall 90 ahead with the enter
prise, while we can and if we ca
so serve the public that those VIII
shall be living, when we shall hav
gone to other work, shall have caus
to remember any good we hav
done and to wish we had don
more of it, NC will be content. l
| the mean time fellow citizens c
Bristol help us, and we will try t
build you up.

4 COUNTY MEETING.

We do not understand why we
have had no cali for a County mee-
ting. 1t is made the duty Of the
County superintendent to make
the call, fit be not otherwise made.
We hope Mr.. Trgg Will make it
at once, as we lave need for i'm
mediate reorganization AS mat
ters now stand we have no con-
certed plan for the campaign. 1t
will be apparent thai our canvas
sers should meet with the new
committee and agree upon a PLAN.
There should be unity of aim in
our public speeches. Let it be
understood that our canvassers are
to avoid federal politics and let
there be made out an ample pro-
gramme which shall be adhered to
by all of us alike.
At the September Court. let us
have a County meeting.

Conservative. State Committee.
Resolution AdOpted-MatterS OF
Party Organization.

The Conservative State Committee
met again at the Exchange Hotel
Friday morning. and proceeded to
fill as far as possible the lists of SEN
atorial and county canvassers. Sew
eraI appointments are yet to be made
and that duty was delgated to the
Executive Committee. who will confer
with county committees before act
ing.
General Kemper' Colonel Withers
and Mr.. Daniel were present, and
consulted with the committe in re-
ference to appointments for speak,
ing.
The following important resolutions
were adopted:
ReSoIued, That, without at all I'M
dertaking to interfere with the right
of each county and city by its own
local committee to determine its own
plan of organization as provided by
the State Committee, this committee
recommend to the local committees as
far as practicable to conform to the
plan of organization under which the
campains of 1869-'70 was so sue
cessfully conducted.
ReS0Ived, That the county COM
mittees be authoized TO make adj
d.tlonal appointments of county can"
vassers when, in their judgment, 1t is
deemed necessary, and notify the
Executive committee of said appoint
ments.
ResoIved, That while the committee
expressly disclaims the right or the
purpose to interfere in the choice of
candidates, or in the conduct of local
elections, it does claim the right and
declare its earnest purpose not only
to throw the whole weight of the orr
ganization against Radical candidates
everywhere, and in accordance with
the resolution unanimously adopted
by the State convention to treat boil
tiers from our organization. or OPP
ponents our candidates in all respect
as Radicals.
ResoIUed, That a canVasser be ap-
pointed for the State at large, and
that the hon. r. NJ. I, Hunter, of
Essex. be appointed to fill that posi-
ton,
ResolUed, That until the several
cities and counties Of the State shall
have organized the Conservative party
in their respective districts, in con-
formity with the plan of organization
prescribed by the late Convention, the
organizations authorized by the plan
of 60 shall be respected and continue
to be in force, and tie Executive
Committee of the State shall exercise
the power of perfecting the Organiza-
tions in such cities and towns where
the same is defective.

A Great Enterprise.

The Jenner Surveying expedit-
ion has arrived at San Diego, and
report favorably as to the possibil-
ity of conducting water at small
cost from the Gulf of California to
the Colorado desert, thereby crea-
ting climatic GLANCE in Southern
California. 1t is something re-
markable but true that various
points in the great western dry ba-
sins are lower that the pacific tide
water.

A CARD
DUH q A ROVER,

DRH. q. A. BOY Err, having per
~ manently located himself in Bristol,
Tenn, offers bis professional services to the
public for the treatment of all diseases pc
culiar to Women and Children. Having
made this branch of his profession speci-
atty for nearly twelve years, and the general
success attending it, has induced him to con-
fdently assure all who may place themselves
under his care, the most approved methods
of treatment now known to the profession.
He intends no disparagement in saying that
no physician can arrive at distinction IN the
management of those diseases unless his
whole time and attention is given to their
investigation and ;tudy. Many Of them be-
ing peculiar in their nature, delicate to in
vestigate. and consequently difficult to under
stand, makes it quite essential that the en-
tire thoughts of the practitioner should be
engrossed with the subject. Ladies living
at distance who are afflicted with CHRONIC
AFFECTIONS will be received into his house,
and placed in the care of his wife, who will
see to their general comfort, through good
nurses, regulated diet, &C., at a cheaper rate
than they could be visited far in the country.
Should any however have friends in town
and prefer being with them, the same medi-
cal attention will be given them as if they
were in his owTphouse. Married ladies can
confde in the good treatment of the Doctor
in all cases, and under all circumstances.

The Boyhood or Greeley.

More than three garments at the same time
Horace seldom wore in tile summer, and
these We're: straw hat. generally in state
of dilapiaation, i tow shirt. never buttonel,
pair OF trowsers made OF the family mate
rial, end having the popularity of being
short in both legs, but shorter in one than
the othor. In the winter he added a pair OF
shoes and Jacket. During the five years of
his life at Westhaven. probably his clothes
did not cost three dollars year. and believe
that during the whole period of his childhood
up to the time no sbcramr Or sg-, not nfay
dollars iii all were expended on his dress. He
never manifested, on any occasion, in any
place, in any coin,,any, nor at any part Of
his early life, the slightest interest in his at
tire, nor tile least care for its effect on others
That amiable trait in human nature which.
inelines us to decoration, which makes us
desirable to present an agreeable figure to
others, and to abhor popularity in our ap-
pearance, is a trait which Horace never gave
the smallest evidence of possessing.
He went to school three winters at Westha-
ven, but not to much advantage. He had al
ready gone the round of district school stu
dents, and did little mere after his tenth year
than 'swalk over the course" He was al
ways" says one of his Western schoolmates,
''at the top OF the school. He seldom had a
teacher that could teach him anything. Once
and once only, he missed a word. His fair
face was crimson in an instant. He was ter
ribly cut up about it, and fancied he was
not himself fora week. see him now, as
he sat in his class. with his slender body, his
large head, his ample forehead, his pleasant
smile, and his coarse, clean, homespun
clothes. He sat with h arms loosely folded.
his head bent forward, his legs crossed, and
one foot swinging. He did not seem to pay
any attention, but not a thing escaped him.
He appeared to attend more from curiosity
to hear what sort of work zoe werc making
of the lesson than from any interest he took
in the subject for its own sake. Once pars-
ed word egregriously wrong, and Horace
was SO taken aback by the mistake that he
was startled from his propriety, and exclaim-
ed loud enough for the class to hear him
What fosl!' The manner of it was so lu-
dicrous that I AMI all the class burst into
laughter
