The Office of Register of Wills has been
filed by Colonel Amos Webster during
the past twelve years with fidelity, and
to the entire satisfaction Of all with whom
he has been brought in official contact
He was on General Grants staff, and was
as great favorite with the Generals
military family as he has long been, and
stiff is with the people of Washington.
1t being the wish of President Garfield to
appoint to the place his steadfast friend,
Hiram j. Ramsdell, Colonel Webster
gracefully yields by resignation. He will
bear with him, in retiring from office, the
cordial good wishes of hosts of warm
friends.
Mr.. Ramsdell has been long engaged in
journalism at the Capital for leading
papers, and now conducts his own brill
liant and sparkling Republic, His es-
timable lady is great favorite in Wash

most popular man in our community

On The whole, the new President

in the main, good one, and it is his
own. The talk about his infrmities

WORK TO DO.

The late war resulted in the de-
preston of every branch of indus.
try. Business was paralyzed, socie>
ty was demoralized and the people
were discouraged. About the time
the country began to recover from
this the financial crisis of 1873
came upon US and bankruptcy and
ruin overlook thousands. But we
have passed successfully through
that trying season and prosperity
again smiles upon the land.
And now We have everything to
encourage and stimulate our facul-
ties. For the next four years the
country is to be governed wisely
and well. We know this and no
one doubts it. In the selection Of
his Cabinet advisers, General Gar
field has assured the country of his
patriotic purposes. His inaugural
address has been received with favor
by all classes and parties. Sec
tional differences are passing out of
sight, and there is no. longer any
danger that the finances of the
country are to be interfered with.
We have already entered upon an
era of prosperity that is not likely
to be interrupted. AS Judge Key
said to newspaper reporter the
other day, the people of the South
are turning their attention from
politics to business.
There has never been a period in
the history of the country when
there was greater encouragement
for men to apply themselves to
business. There has never been a
time when there was a better hope
of reward for industry and frugality
than now. If the people through
out the country of every class wish
to reap reward for their legitimate
labor, they have only to put forth
the effort. This is an age Of &C
tivity. The sluggard will achieve
no conquests because he deserves
none. The farmer who will i'm
prove his circumstances will reap
whatsoever he sows. The laboring
man is to have employment a,
living wages. Manufactures are
to increase and multiply. Popula.
ton and wealth will increase, ant
the next census will show a devel
opment such as has never been wit
messed in this wonderful country.
We are glad to know that Ten
nessee will keep pace with her sister
States on this grand stride on thu
pathway of progress. Our Stat
debt is to be settled honorably t.
ourselves and satisfactory to ou
creditors. An obstruction that hal
impeded our progress is to be re-
moved forever. No stain is to b.
left upon our escutcheon. Now le
US go to work and build up ou1
waste places. Important railroad
lines are in contemplation. Some
of them are to be constructed a
once. Let them be encouraged
Our iron, coal and zinc mines are tx
