Driven to Death.

We are an Over-worked people. The almighty
dollar Is pursued with phrenzy which admits Of
few pauses or breathing spells. How frequently one
hears the phrase 'driYen to DEATH" implying all
that 1t does of physical exhaustion and mental
element. Among artificial recuperants of exhaus-
ted energy, there is not that powerfully
counteracts the effects of fatigue as Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters and next to that natural rest for
which nothing can wholly compensate, it is the
best and safest resource of those Who are obliged
or think that they are, to undergo an excessive
amount of labor. Against the hurtful effects of ex-
posture upon the sensitive organs, the Bitters are
likewise efficient protective. A dose or two will
often counteract the effects which a wetting
might otherwise produce, and the danger arising
from unhealty or fatiguing occupations is materi-
ally lessened by the daily of this reliable

Chancellor Smith failed to get here
until Wednesday evening. In the
meantime the bar elected Hon. r.
NJ. Barton a special Chancellor, who
dispatched business rapidly and
with his usual ability, until the ar
rival of Chancellor Smith, when he
vacated the bench for that gentle
man. 1t is needless to attempt any
eulogy on Judge Barton. His abii-
ity and long experience as lawyer
Is too well known throughout East
Tennessee.
The people are beginning to talk
some as to the coming elections. and
they seem to be looking around for
a man to bear the standard of the
Democracy through the Senatorial
contest. The name of Maj. VIM. N.
Clarkson has been spoken of by
many persons, and do not think a
more suitable man could be selected.
Maj. Clarkson is q good lawyer, and
has an extensive acquaintance over
the district, while he has been an
active and ardent worker for the par
ty during her past experiences.
Moreover, he is a man who would
not be swayed by any influences out
side of an earnest desire TO promote
the prosperity and general welfare
OF the country.

your patience, am very respect.

Words seem hushed out in the sad, holy silence,
The loss, and the gaining have made
Tie distance draw near, and in hope and in fear,
Our gift on the altar is laid.
Shall say the white lily had untimely blooming
Because Of our weeping to-day?
That the leaves that fall in the season for all

Oh, no God is good, and his excellent glory
The morrow, evangel of calm,
Is greeting to-day, through the opal gateway,
With a welcome Like incense and balm.
Enshrined, encrowned, a spirit hath triumphed
At last over weakness and pain:
She laid down her flowers at the eventide hour
To take them up in the morning again.
She sleeps out OF sorrow, and out of the shadow s
And out of the twilight of care;
She rests on the banks OF the Jasper sea"
In the peace Of Gods forever.
So patient so faithful, so kindly, so careful,
So quietly keeping her soul,
The angel of blessing, IL tender caressing,
Around her in benson stole.
We know that the sunshine is deeper than shadow,
That beauty is stronger than bands
That the pure, and the true, and the good and the

That one day on the banks of the beautiful river,
One day on the fair haven shore,
In the gadness supernsl in the mansions eternal,
We shall meet her-an-there. Adj.

To the Editor of the Hawkins County Departm mt:
1t has been some time since Won
have heard from US; so, to insure
you that we have not forgotten you,
we will give you some brevities from
our village. We have about sOhered
down from the festivities of Christ
mas, and have entered upon our va
riOus avocations with renewed zeal
and energy. During the last week
our minds have more than once been
carried back to the days of the Del
uge. During the aforesaid time it
has never rtilted once, but has poured
several times. So much of the New
Year has passed and nothing scarce
ly worthy OF mention, has transpired.
So far we have not had a single mar
riage or death. One of our most
worthy citizens, T. w. Phillips, is
absent from us. for a short time, on
visit to the Sunny South" with
view of selling stock. We hope
that he will be successful in all his
business transactions, and that he
will return with his pocket full of
that all-powerful commodity which
one says makes the mare 60" and
which another wiser says lis the
root of all evil" We have a new
store house in process of erection.
1t is being built by the Patrons of
Husbaudry. The store will soon 90
into operation. The first term OF
the Academy closes this week; the
second term begins next Monday.
Some new pupils have come in, and
more are expected. We hope that
the liberal patronage given to it in
the past may be extended to it in
the future. We. Mr.. Editor, in COR
clusion, would say. that we hope
this years career of the GAZETTE
may be a brilliant one, and that
many new names may be added to
its list of subscribers. This can be
done if al, its friends will work ear
nestly in its behalf. For the pres
ent we bid you goodbye.

Emigration.

If we mistake not, the Legislature of
Tennessee some years ago made an APP
preparation of money for Board of
Emigration, or an Agent of Emigration,
or something of the kind, which was,
perhaps, well enough. That we need
more people in our country to work the
land and to build up manufacturing es-
Establishments, is patent to everybody;
and if men from the North or the East
will come to us with their families, we
will all be glad to see them, and will
cordially welcome them among us. Men
from Europe-Irish, German, English,
French, etc, will be also welcome, but
it does seem to us that the first thing to
be done by us as men of ordinary COM
mon sense, is to stop the great drain
from our own native population to the
West. We ought to fall upon some plan
to keep our young men at home. They
are building up Texas, Arkansas and
Nebraska, as they have built up Mis-
souri,, Illinois and other now great States
of the West and Northwest while their
native home-this grand old mountain
region, East Tennessee-is langulshing
and suffering for want of their manly
energy.
Let the land-holders of this country,
those who own more than they can
profitably cultivate, sell our young men
homes ehsaply, and if need be on long
credit, encourage them to build houses
and fix themselves here for life, and at
the same time invite good people from
everywhere else to come and settle
among us, and ere long East Tennessee
will be what the God of Nature intend
ed it should be, the noblest country upon
the Garth

EVIDENCES OF BETTER TINES
SOME OBSER FROM I
VISITOR.


VISITOR.
RoGERsvILLE, Tenn, Jan %.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
1t is a source of much qualification
to an East Tennessean when he can
see through the different sections of
the State evidences of better times
coming. Hawkins county is rapidly
advancing in point of prosperity,
Notwithstanding the hardness of the
times, the great scarcity of money,
and the onelous and oppressive tax
alton to which her people, as we'll as
other sections of the State, have
heretofore been subjected. The cheer
fulness and sociabiity of the citizens,
as we'll as the improved condition of
many of the farms throughout the
county, are all sure evidences of
thrift and prosperity. and show that
increased energy and activity and a
new spirit Of enterprise has taken
hold of her people. These happy
changes are no doubt owing, in a
great measure. to the influences of
the Grange movement. The bring
ing of the people together at frequent
periods. and the opportunities Of
fered for cultivating each others So
ciety, and of exchanging their views
with each other upon the different
subjects affecting their interests. and
more especially the subject of agri-
culture, and the profit derived there
from, are all calculated to elevate
the social standard of the people,
knit together more closely the ties
of union and sympathy, and develop
more generally the resources of the
country. Hawkins is good county,
and her people kind, hospitable and
intelligent. and it is to be hoped that
the efforts which her good people are
now making for her advancement,
will continue until her beautiful val
leys and rolling hills shall bloom
and blossom beneath the hand of in
dnstry.
