Gentlemen-My only object in giving You this
testimonial is to spread valuable information. Hav
ing been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and the
whole surface of my skin being covered with
pmples and eruptiOns, and many of which caused
me great pain and annoyance, and knowing 1t to be
a blood disease, took many of the advertised
blood preparations, among which was any quantity
of Sarsapara, without obtaining any benefit until
commenced taking the VEGETINE and before
had completed the first bottle l saw that had got
the right medicine. Consequently, followed on
with it until had taken seven bottles, when was
pronounced o well man, and my skin is smooth
and entirely free from pimples and erupt'ons. l
have never enjoyed good health before, and at
tribute il all to the use of VEGETINE. Tc benefit
those afflicted with rheumatism, l will maFe men
tion also of the VEGETINE's wonderful power of
curing me of this acute complaint, OF Which nave
suffered so intensely.

United States District Attorney Hughes

eral Villa 5, calling attention, as follows,
to the matter Of recommendations for par
don:
at is often the case that petitions for
pa-dOn are submitted to United States at
toneys for their favorable endorsement be
fore being presented to the President. 1t
is necessary, for the proper consideration
Of pardon application, that a statement
Of the facts surrounding the petitioners
Offense and conviction should be obtained
from the United States attorney in whose
district the conviction took place. To this
end, as we'll as for the purpose of obtaining
an expression Of their opinion upon the
question Of extending Executive elemency
in the premises, it is usual to refer such
applications to the proper district attorneys
for consideration and report. This being
the case, it follows that the addition of any
recommendation or expression of opinion
by them TO such petitions is unnecessary
and undesirable. 1t is requested therefore
that the attorneys Of the United States
viii in future refrain from making any
to this Department in

referred to them and they are called upon

Middle Tennessee,s CondIfIon.

It is estimated by merchants in position
to form an intelligent opinion on the sub
jet, that the four counties Of Davidson,
Sumner, Wilson and Rutherford, will pay
ont this year, for grain and feed, at between
81, 800, 600 and S2,j0O,000. The scarcity Of
these necsssaries, in consequence of the
drouth last summer, is fearful and without
precedent. The farmers Of the counties
named never but once before had TO
buy corn, etc, and that was after a
dry year previous to the war. But
in that year the drOuih set in late, and only
cut the crop short; whereas, last year it be-
gan early, and in many sections caused a
Total failure.
With these exceptions, the farmers
throughout Middle Tennessee have always
been exporters, their annual surplus doubt
less more than equalling their present de-
felt.
The whole order Of trade with our large
dealers in grain, hay, etc, is exactly re-
versed. They sell most TO those from
whom they have been accustomed to buy
most.

Sir: Your polite favor was received this

The compliment implied in your quest
that 1 should join you at Nashville in the
Centennial Celebration OF the approaching
goth Of May, and become the orator On that
occasion, is sensibly felt and duly ap2Te-
ciated. yield to no one in an enthusiast

glcwed in the bOsOIns, animated the cOun-
sells and moved the hearts Of the patriots
and heroes Of MecslenbUTg az the dawn Of
the American Revolution. Tennessee is
closely identified by a glorious, tho mourn
full cOnsanguinity, with North Carolina,
not only in the Declaration, but the
achievement Of Independence. Her heroic
sons obtained al Kings Mountain the most
decisive victory Of the Revolutionary strug-
gle. 1t is, therefore, but right and be
coming that the daughter should cooperate
with the mother Stale in cOmmemOrating
the centennial anniversary.

ing compliance with the latter part Of
your request. An accidental injury, re-
Ceiyed some time since from an unruly
horse, sill confines me to my room and in
capacitates me for the task your Partially
assigns me. This failure on my part to re-
ply aflirmatively 20 your request is the less
TO be regretted when there are so many
others in our State whose eXperien in
public speaking and whose past pursuits
more fully qualify them for such 4 duty.

brance Of our former acquaintance, and ask
ing you TO present my best regards 20 DR..
