OUR EDITOR GONE.

1t is with extreme regret that we an
nounce that Col. T. H. Reeves has re.
tired from the editorial management
of the Herald and Tribune. His re-
moval to another sphere of action and
duty necessitated this step.
The many readers of this papers will
bear us out in the statement that the
Col. always gave the productions of
his pen a high and elevated tone, which
commanded confidence and respect,an
they were permeated with that unhesi-
tating courage which truth and light
always inspire as carried with them
praise for honest convictions. Under his
editorship the Herald and Tribune has
been an acknowledged power for great
good in all the material enterprises for
the general advancement and welfare,
fearlessly combating evil influences
and tendencies wherever they presented
themselves. On this account we are
sure our patrons will share in our re-
greet that we must lose his wise coun.
sci, faithful guidance and unselfsh
aid.
His interests have not separted from
us altogether. He will still retain his
legal residence in Tennessee and will
still devote a part of his time and ener-
gies for the success of the Republican
party in this State.
Col. Reeve has been a citizen of broad
liberality and public spirit. This is
II of the most prominent traits of his
character, the unvarying observation
of all who know him and know of him.
Every undertaking with the promise of
good in it received his enthusiastic en-
couragement and the more substantial
form of pecuniary assistance. What
ever he endorsed he, also, sustained
with a liberal gift of money, if money
vas required.
Col. Reeves stands in the front of the
Sabbath School workers of the State.
In this line of concetrated efforts he is
an enthusiast, doing what he was called
to do and what he could find to do with
burning zeal and unwearied assiduity.
In this field of labor he has filled the
most important posts with the highest
honor and the greatest acceptance.
In the political arena his Republi-
canism has been thorough, earnest and
Incorporating, and whenever and
wherever the highest and best inter.
ests of his party called he needed and
obeyed without faltering and without
deviation. The bold expression of his
opinions, the s%crupulous earnestness of
his partisan labors and the determined
persistence of his loyalty to what he
conceived to be the wisdom of the
hour may oft have incurred the ire of op.
posing factions, yet when the storm of
passion had exhausted itself these ye,y
men were the first to look upon him as
a man without guile and without sell.
fishness.
Jonesboro, Washington County and
Tennessee has lost a valuable citizen
one of their very best and the question
now is can his place be suppliedY
Col. Reeves carries with him to his
new home at the Capitol of the Nation
the confidence, respect, admiration and
warm friendship of all who know his
worth and the noble and spotless char
acter of his manliness, along with the
fervent desire that he may attain an
abundant and satisfying measure of
happiness in the new scenes of life and
effort that he has entered.

In the survey of the old TT. Randall
military reservation just now, it devel-
OPS that a number of settlers have got
over the line on sections allotted to In
dams and feel displeased because they
will have to abandon their claims. They
have petitioned the department at Wash
lngton to allow them to remain on their
selections till the present seasons crop
is harvested, promising to vacate by the
first Of next December. This request it
is quite probable the government will
grant, as the surveys cannot be approved
before that time. A number Of the set
tiers have already made choice Of other
tracts and are preparing to move. In
some instances the improvements are
worth from $1,000 to $4,000.

OMAHA, July ia special to The
Bee from Butte, Neb., Neb., says:
Diligent inquiry cannot elicit what has
become Of the men captured by the
Keya Paha vigilantes last Sunday.
The band passed through Fairfax, s.
D., going west, stating it was their in
tention to proceed to a point north of
Springview before crossing the state
line. There is little doubt now that
the rustlers will never reach Spring
view, as, should they be tnrned over to
the authorities, it would necessarily
make trouble for Anspeker, who owns
the cattle as they were being herded on
Indian land. The vigilantes told Dan
Hall, a Holt county stock man, that q
meeting would be held at State Line,
in which all the members of the old
vigilance committee would take part,
and the rustlers would be tried accord
ing to the custom Of their regulations,
who would abide by the decision Of the
