No State suffered more from the re-
suits of the war than Tennessee. The
hopes and pride of her people we're so
shocked that general gloom and sad
ness pervaded all classes, and the
earth itself seemed to be the victim
OF terrible curse. Years of patient
suffering and indomitable will, under
the inspiration of universal freedom.
have mitigated the bereavements and
quickened all the generous sentiment
and harmonized the before divided
people. Now every part Of the
State gives evidence of industry
crowned with abundance. The
growth Of villages and towns
shows returned aud increasing
prosperity and expanding intelligence.
The tendency OF the people to the
towns evidences the growth of the de.
sire for co operative effort. 1t shows
a decline of the isolating individual
ism OF the past, and the presence of
the community of interest promised by
the renaissance of Southern society.
The influence of new force is every.
where manifest. Fences destroyed
during the war have been repaired.
habitations rebuilt and ornamented
barns and outhouses put up, all evil
dencing thrift and industry. The
plantations are rapidly being divided
into farms, yielding a more bountiful
supply for the increasing population.
while higher intelligence and more
cultivated tastes demand new and
varied supplies for their qualification.
The cultivation of cotton in large
measure is yielding to that Of cereals,
grasses, fruits and vegetables, and up,
usual interest Is manifested in the
rearing of stock, and the students of
social science begin to think that
more profit, honor and health would
come from converting the corn crop
into beef, mutton and pork than into
the best Of whisky. The forests, here's
toiOre yielding but little profit to their
owners, are rapidly being converted
into building material and furniture
and now add largely to the resources
Of the country. To all these signs
Of improvement and progress to-
ward real and lasting prosperity
may be added the opening of coal
and iron mines, and tie establishment
OF faetoriea al over the State. This
much We can say Of the increasing
prosperity inTennessee under the new
regime, and much that is said of this
State can be applied to other slave
States Of the South, all of Watch is

more profitable Ga the country than
that ct slaves. Let us hope that the
present is but commencement Of an
awakening throughout the whole
country that will reach the foupda.
tons OF the social, religious, political.
and business sentiments Of the people
which now SO plainly manifest them
selves in the general good will and
growing desire for allegiance and
fraternity which can only result in a
general and much to be desired EyosS

My stomach was very weak and could retain little or nothing upon it for days at time. I also had occasional sinking spells that my friends regarded as very serious. had lost 50 pounds of flesh, and was rapidly on the decline, so that was unable to attend to my business, when 8 friend suggest ed trial of your "Red Jacket Bitters." I began to make inquiries of many who had used your bitters, and found but one sentiment expressed in regard to their great medicinal virtues. My faith was still limited in their being source of any help or benefit to me in my com plicated disease. I finally thought best to make trial of them, and have taken two bottles. I have gained seven pounds of flesh and am rapidly on the gain. I can cheerfully say that they are the best medicine have ever used for the above troubles, and I feel as if had new lease of life.
