THE KNOXVILLE REGISTER
We regret to learn that TIE pab'ieaiiea O'
this long-sstablished journal has been sus'
pended. n we are no, 81 faui. ~ our 'eeo''

the leading paper in the STATE. 10 1887 MI

was published lill some time about The close

iVt~seycn or eight years. The Messrs.
Moses scid to John Miller Mckee in ls49,
who published it Till some time in '54--
Mr. Mckee becoming embarrassed in the
business, the Office passed into the hands OF
Trus:ee-Wm. c. Kahn, Esq.-and was
subsequently sold at public sale. The pur-
chaser was Mr. Kinsloe--later Kinsloe g.
Rice-who, together, published il till few
months ago, when Mr.. Rice became the sole
proprietor. From the time Kinsloo bought
it till recently, the Register was edited by
John NJ. Fleming, Esq, who threw good
deal of life and ability into itscolumns. Since
Mr.. Jennings retirement, the paper has been
without an editor, and, NJ announced above,
its publication is now suspended.
In its earlier days, the Register was, we

n long period it occupied the position of a
leading political journal in the State, and ex-
ercsed larger influence than any paper Of
its day, or perhaps since. From the date Of

Democracy, the Register has been zenlousy

To sum up-the Register has been pub

Mr.. Ileiskcll il had more character than any
paper in the State--Ramsey a. Craigheac
