The Abingdon Standard says that eff
forts are being made to consolidate the
railroad from Norfolk to Bristol with
the line running from Bristol to Mem
phis, and very correctly thinks such a
line would be of great benefit to both
of the roads, and if the Texas and Pa
cific road should ever be reality, as it
unquestionably will be some day, and
that not in the far distant, it would
open up a new and direct line of travel
from west to east. Now that the A, NJ.
and O. road has fallen into the hands OF
receivers, the consolidation so long talk
ed of ought to be contaminated.

Spring Enemies.

At the return of every spring comes
the usual crop of weeds aud fevers, and
prompt action is necessary if we would
put down either of them. A judicious
use of muscle and steel will destroy the
weeds, and save the growing crops, and
an equally judicious use of Harris Anti
bilious Discovery will head off the fever
and prevent lingering sickness and
perhaps death. 1t should be taken in

as to the relative merits of Taylor and
Pettibone 1t seems that "little ALI, .
his Democratic record to the contrary
notwithstanding, has stormed and taken

Yet, while his soul yearns to Taylor,
the pre-eminent ability of Petiibone,
which "doth bestride the narrow world
like Colossus" commands his admira-

passions, torn in this struggle between
the sensual and intellectual, he halts be-
tween two opinions:
How happy with either I'd be,
We're totheF dear eharmer away +"
Now, what worries us is, that even this
