We regret that the young gentle
men comprisingthis firm have decided
to remove entirely from the city.
They enjoy in the fullest degree the
confidence and good will of the com
munity in which they have so long
resided, and done business. Before
Mr.. Paine started business on his own
account, he was for a number of years
connected with some of our leading
firms. The house he and Mr.. l.. v.
Dixon established on Vance was quite
a success, but the prospect of
going west and growing up with the
country, and spreading out into a
wider and more promising field, in
duced them to establish a store at
Aberdeen, Arkansas, some time ago,
and finally tosell out here entirely. Mr..
Dixon remains to wind up the BUSH
ness. After that is done he will ioin
his partner at Aberdeen. Again we
commend them to their new friends
as energetic, reliable, accommodating
gentlemen, who will prove a valuable
accession to the community. We hope
they may find as warm and true friends
there as they leave behind, and that
their success may prove the wisdom
of the change they have made.

pay respects to the terrestrial queen.
Actsecond gypsy scene-Queen and
her tribe prepare, with great merri-
ment, to pay court to tn Queen Of
May. Act third.-Fairy scene-the
Queen, with her train, also make

various nations bring offerings to the
Queen-concluding with a transfer

chorus by all, "Our Little Play is

reviews says: Nothing can be better
as a general renovator of the health
than plenty of Hop Bitters. They
aid in all the operations of nature;
toning up the weak stomach, assisting
the food to become properly assimi-
lated, and promoting healthy action
in all the organs. The dictates OF
fashion, as well as the laws of health
alike favor a right application of hops.

CosHooToN, STA MY, Dec. %, rs.
Gents: A number ofpeople had been
using your Bitters here, and with
marked effect. In fact, one case, a
lady of over seventy years, had been
sick for years, and for the past ten
years | have known her, she has not
been able to be around half the time.
About SIX months ago she got so feeble
she was helpless. Her old remedies,
or physicians, being of no avail, | sent
to Deposit, forty-fve miles, and got a
bottle of Hop Bitters. 1t had such a
very beneficial effect on her that one
bottle improved her so she was able TO
dress herself and walk about the house.
When she had taken a second bottle
she was able to take care Of her own
room and walk out to her neighbor's,
and has improved all the time since.
My wife and children also have de-
rived great benefit from their use.

Texas was highly complimented Yesterday
by an official notification to Gov. Il. B. Hub

erary societies of the University of Virginia,
from among the board of regents, 10 deliver
their annual commencement GRAFTON on the
30Lh June. He accepted. EX-Gov. Thomas

delivered their last address. Galveston News
WhilnTcyos is COMMUNICATED by the selcc-
ton of the two literary societies OF tine nj
versty ofNirginia, Ty Ter, the home of Gov
Hubbard, is no less proud of the honor con-
fered upon its distinguished citizen. Differing
with Gov Hubbard politically, as the Index
has always done, and carrying its opposition
in many instances to the severest criticisms
and denunciations, it has never failed, when
occasion offered, to do all honor to his splen-
did abilities as an orator and statesman. We
feel gratlfed indeed, as every citiz.n of Smith
county must do, at the distinguished
honor that has been conferred upon our
fellow-townsman. 10 be the chosen speaker
to deliver the commencement Grafton before
the professors, alHmni, visitors and students
of the Virginia university is an honor that
the most gifted, eloquent and learned literary
men of the nation might be proud OF, and it
is yet the more honore ., if possible, by the
great men of national fame who have hlled
it before bin. That Governor Hubbard will
acqut himself with all honor we feel every
confidence. We remember his centennial
address, how his utteranccs thrilled and
electrified the vast audience that had assem-
bled to listen to the Texas orator, and the
many complimentary notices that were b.
slowed upon his effort by the press of the
country.
