Rev. John Sheriff., one of the
most venerable members of the Ten
nessee Conference, having been
transferred to the North Texas Con
ference, will leave for his work in
that field very soon. He will be
missed from the old neighborhood,
from the old circuit and from the
old conference, for there are few
men more beloved by those who
know him well than Rev. Jno. Sher-
rill. May peace, prosperity and the

For the CITIZEN.
TO the Poet T., Of Aspen Hill.

How sad is the Song of the poor old man,
As he sings of the summers that are past /;
For he sees marching in, now leading the van,
TIE winter of life coming last.
And lie signs, AS he thinks, what he might
have been,
Had his young life been given to love;
Rut his step has grown weak and his hair
grown thin,
Ard he soon will be called up above.
New hope from his heart fades out like the
flowers,
When winters cold blast touch their hues !;
Oh, how cherries his lite, how lonely his
hours
But he's no one to scold. he gets but his
dues.
Let us hope the old fellow may yet find
love,
And redeem his misspent life
May the angel OF mercy look down from
above
And give him loving good wife
Is the sincere wish of his friend,

Renovation, not ProstratIon

Did any enfeebled human being ever
become strong under the operation of
powerful cathartics or salivants? IL is
sometimes necessary to regulate the
bowels, but that cannot be done by ac-
tive purgation, which eXhausts the vital
forces and serves no good purpose what
ever. The only true way TO promote
health and vigor, which are essential to
regularity of the organic functions, Is
to invigorate, discipline and purify the
system at the same time. The extraor-
binary efficacy of Hostetters Stomach
Bitters in cases of debility or Irregular
ity of the organs of digestion, assimila-
ton, secretion and discharge, is univer-
sally admitted. Appetite, good diges-
ton, a regular habit of body, active
circulation of the blood, and purity of
all the animal fluids are induced by this
superb tonic and corrective. Ii has no
equals, moreover, as preventive of
chills and fever, and other types of ma
larial disease. To emigrants and tray
elers it is particularly serviceable as a
medicinal safeguard. novl4t

grants who have come to Tennessee
during the past month, under the
direct auspices of the Bureau:
From Iowa, 4; Indiana, 50; Ohio,
is; Michigan, IL; Minnesota, 9;
Pennsylvania, 3; Illinois, 8; New

families have located in Davidson
county, in Williamson, in Mau-
~, 3 in Hamilton, in Knox, and |
in Lawrence. Some 20 families
have written that they will settle in
Lawrence this month and next.
The report shows an increase of
about thirty per cent. over the
a number reporting - tnis vnlce uus
ring the previous month. Letters
have been received from persons in
both East and West Tennessee,
asking how they may fully co oper-
ate with the Bureau in directing
settlers to their sections. The cor

shows an increasing interest for in
formation in regard TO the opening

The events which have made
General Forests name familiar to
the whole civilized world occurred
but as yesterday. 1t seems but a
short time since the great soldier
whose deeds of matchless daring
won for him the sobriquet of the
"Wizard of the Saddle" threw
aside his sword for the implements
of peace; abandoned the fields OF
bloody war for the quiet pursuits
of the citizen. 1t is rot necessary
to print an outline Of his military
career. 1t is a part of the history
of the late war There were few i'm
portant events in the southwest
east of the Mississippi river in
which he was not a conspicuous
actor. In many of them the bril-
liancy of his genius and the weight
of his mighty arm turned the scale.
General Forrest was without mill
tary education. When he entered
the Confederate army he knew abso-
lutely nothing of military life. Yet
these defects were without influ-
ence. He succeeded where others,
trained to military pursuits, failed.
All things considered, he was prob
ably the most remarkable man the
war produced. No one else achieved
so much with so much limited re

NEW HAMPSHIRE.



Concord, March 14.-The vote Of the
state by counties, in all but "a towns,
shows that Prescott's majority will be
9, 200 strong. If the remaining towns
result the same as last year, the aggre-
gate vote of the state will be over III
900. The result in the First Congress
sional district is SO close that it will re-
quire an official count to determine the
result. All but seven towns give Mars
ton 1885, Jones 1887. The seven
towns not heard from gave Cheney
(Rep.) 1858, Marcy (Dem.) 973 last
year, which if returned the same as last
spring, Marston will lead Jones 38. AS
far as returned the House stands 2U5
Republicans and 140 Democrats. The
Republican majority will be somewhat
reduced by the towns yet to be heard
from. The Senate stands Republicans
and Democrats, and the Council
Republicans and Democrat.
A dispatch from Portsmouth claims
the district for Jones by good majori-
ty. Briggs is elected in district No. 2,
by from 800 to 1000, and Blair in the
Third district by from 700 to 1000. A
large portion of the towns in both dis
tricts have not yet returned the con-
gressional votes, but they run in the
Third district very closely with the
gubernatorial votes. 1t is PROBABLE that
the amendments to the constitution are
carried
