We have surrendered our space,
to very considerable extent, to
advertisers this week. We hope
our subscribers will not object to
this, for it is but once a year that
Christmas comes, and as the patron
age of advertisers goes far towards
sustaining a paper, it is but due to
them that their claims to public
patronage should be presented ac-
casionally. and more than this, as
we hope our subscribers are all
friends who desire our success. we
ask them to patronize those who
patronize us, when they can do. as

The Hastings Gazette of last
week has lengthy article advoca-
ting the union of Pierce, Washing

fairs and exhibitions, and argues
that Hastings is the natural centre
of the territory embraced in the

Cure Your Cough!

The wonderful results and immense
sale Of HALE's Couch CORDIAL the
past season, ought to convince the most
skeptical; still we are going to con-
tinue the same liberal offer that we have
made heretofore. viz: Any person suf-
fering with cough, cold or sore throat
who will call at F. 4. Poole's, Hawley
& Kellogg's Or any other Drug Store
and purchase bottle of HALE's CouGH
CORDIAL, use one-half of it, and if they
then conclude that tits doing them no
good, they can return the balance and
receive back their money. Who would
not test this medicine on such liberal
terms? No medicine ever sold in this
vicinity that produced such wonderful
results. All we ask is that you will
try it. 5m6

of the St. Louis whiskey corruption
lists, ex-senator Henderson, of Mo-,
who had been employed by the gov
eminent to assist IN the case, in
dulged in some remarks which are
capable Of being construed into an
insinuation against President Grant,
although such is not necessarily an
inference to be drawn from them.
For this reason the President order
ed his dismissal as one of the coun-
sci in the case forthwith. As the
evidence in this case and those pre-
viously tried implicated Gen. Bab-
cock, the Presidents private secre-
tary, SO strongly that a St. Louis
grand jury indicted him, and as 9TH
er high officers Of President Grants
appointing are somewhat tainted in
popular estimation, this removal Of
Mr.. Henderson is, to say the least,
an ill-advised act. 1t must interfere
more or less with the conduct of the
future cases that are waiting to be
tried, with all the complications Of
which Mr.. Henderson had made
himself familiar, and, if all those
who are now or may hereafter be
indicted are not convicted, the pub
lie will be apt to attribute their es-
.cape to this act: and will, of course
assign as reason for the removal a
desire on the part of the President
to shield those of his intimate friends
who may be guilty.
There is strong desire on the
part Of some political leaders of
both parties, to introduce religious
controversy in the coming presiden-
tial contest. The purpose is to in
flame the popular mind and attract
it from the consideration of impor-
tant political topics. Both the old
parties are divided on the tariff, cur
rency and civil service reform ques-
tions, and those who assume to lead
them, would fain smother the dis
cussion Of these subjects beneath a
load of irrelevant matter. The
people may rest assured that Our
school system is in no danger, that
the domination and wealth of the
churches is not a sufficient cause for
immediate alarm, and that there is
no ground for apprehending that
either the Methodlsts or Catholics
propose to capture the government
for five or six years 20 come, at
least. Let them, therefore, refuse
to be diverted by this stuff from the
consideration of those matters which
are Of immediate interest: that is,
the currency, tariff and an honest
administration of our governmental
affairs. .~.s..,

and We never saw nicer honey than he
raises. 1t is put up in elegant bottles,

Is blown in the glass, and the seal il nice

other concomitants of honey are extracted
by a refining process to which he subjects
it, 50 that there is no danger of souring.
The price is so low that the honey becomes
cheaper than mOlasses, and worth five
times us much. We congratulate Decherd
upon having a man so full of energy, SO
elegant, so deserving.
