PoLlTENEss.-Politeness is.a cap
ital which pays better than any
other investme ent known. 1t can
be acquired by one without cost,
and without price, and when prop.
erly expended pays most extrav.
agant interest. 1t is surprising,
therefore, that any shoul fail to
acquire some OF the stock Strange
as it is. however, it is nevertheless
true, and some people are every
day seen who have not the small
est amount ot.it. They are rough.
uncouth, unmindful Of the feelings
Of others, aud devoid of true
friends. But to the polite person
DO matter Whist his faults may be.
q degree Of forhearance is accord
ed, while his popularity is such AS
10 secure him hosts of fricnds and
admirers. This being true and pa
tent to all, we wonder why any one
should neglect to be polite and
courteous 10 all his fellow beings
on any and ali occasions.

BILE has been brought to aecOnelu-
zion by the suspension Of Gen.
Pleasanton from the Office of Com
missiOntr of Internal Revenue
Pleasan.on refused to accede to
the request Of the President to re-
sign. and was therefore suspended.
In letter to the President the
General states that the question Is
. purely legal one and that pre-
cedeEt required that it should be
relcrred to the law officer for an
opinion. upon which the President
could have based q decision. He
claims that this was not done. The
immediate causes assigned in of.
fetal quarters for the suspension
of Pleasanton are. that the internal
revenue was not collected with ef-
ficiency; that Pleasanton reversed
the rulings Of his predecessors in
several important particulars, and
made decisions the effect Of
which was unnecessal lily to lessen
the public receipts; acting inde-
pcndently Of aud not consulting
with his superior officers, as to
these and other matters of admin
istration and that the change WAS
necessary in order that there might
be hhrmony in the working of the
Treasury Department.

HOW EXAMINATIONS WERE CoNDUC-
The usual course pursued on ar
irving at the place was to divide
the time they expected to remain
between the majority and minority
of the committee. Judge Van
Trump usually called two or three
of the most prominent lawyers,
who were occupied several hours
in setting forth the Democratic
view of affairs, giving their opin-'
ions on the relations Of the two
races. the ipefficiency and corrup-
tion Of the State government, and
the feeling OF the white people to-
ward the General Government.
WHAT THE PROMINET LAWYHRs
| ------s- s,--- SAID.
They always said they had heard
OF the Kuklux, but never saw one.
Generally they seemed to regard
them rs kind of vigilance CON-
mittee, or irregular lcca! police.
They did not consider them under
4 a general organisation, but simply
to repress outbreaks

The majority then called for
g those who had seen and feft the
Kuklux. The oaths and forms of
proceeding in the Kuklux councils
and the modes of operation when

showed to DC Kuklux we're exam

Deaths.


THOMAS McCLURE.-Brother Mcclure was
born in Augusta county. Virginia, August l1th,
1885 emIgrated to Russell county, Virginia, in
1877. where he was united in marriage to Miss
Phoebe Hendrix In 1920 he was converted and
joined the M. E. Church. under the ministry of
Rev David Adams, of the Holston Conference
In 1927 his wife died; two years subsequent he
married the widow of Rev 81. E. Pendeton,
and moved to Clinton county, Indiana. In 1851
he moved to Warren county, Iowa, where he
lived until the time of his death which took place
December 3lst, 1870.
Father Mcclure, for fifty years, was consist
ent member of the M. E. Church, fully subscri-
bing to her doctrines and usages. He was faith
full in the discharge of all his public, social and
private duties, and for thirty years sustained the
office of class leader. HIS house was frequently
used for religious worship, and was always the
welcome home of the itlnerant. And though
for the last few months prior to his death he as
deprived of the privilege of meeting with Gods
people for religious worship, on account of bod
lily infrmties, his trust in God remained unsha-
ken and he bore his Affections with Christian for
titude. A short time before his DEATH by his re-
quest the sacrament of the Lords supper was
administered to him. We had a memorable
time; his soul was filled with joy in the Holy
Ghost. and when near the Jordan of death. he
was enabled to give glory to God, that he was
going home to heaven.
Thus after having been bright and shining
light in the church militant for half century,
he has been transpanted into the church trium-
phant; and though the church, his aged widow
and children feel their loss, yet they know it is
his eternal gain. M. s.

SoecSal Notices.
Bear i'm Mind.

When disease has undermined the health and
the physical system has become Frustrated, a
stimulant that will not only strengthen, but re-
to. Mental distress is also fruitful source of
the breaking down of the constitution. and the
ravages of this enemy to health are truly alarm
ing. For all such maades Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters have been found unsurpassed. By act
ing directly upon the digestive organs, they re-
move the heavy, disagreeable feeling after eat
ing, so often complained of by persons of a deli
cate temperament. AS soon as digestion is res
tored. the patient finds his strength increasing,
and hissgeneral health improved.
Thousands of persons certify that it may be
relied on in all cases of weakness or nervous de-
bility attendant upon sedentary habits. The
generality of Bitters are so disagreeable to the
tastethat they are Objectionable to a weak stom-
ach. This is not the case with Hostetter's Bit
tiers, which will be found mild and extremely
pleasant. Balsamc plants, barks and roots con-
tribute their restorative juices to render it sooth-
ing and strengthening. It's basis is the only pure
stmulant which has ever been produced, con-
tanning no flsiI oil or any other deleterious ee-
ment. The most careful and skilHul chemists
have analysed the Bitters and pronounce them
harmless. This is scientific testimony but the
testimony of therhundreds of thousands who
have experienced the preventive and curative
effects Of the GREAT VEGETABLE TONIC and AL
TERATIvE of modern times is still more conclu-
sive. In Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia. Bilious
ness, Nervous Com plants, Chronic Complaints
andgeneral debility it is as nearly infallible as
anything in this fallible world can be. e.
