icy eht Of the very shadows Of dire oa'
antilles which we're impending sigh
months ago. Relief. security and hop
have come at an hour and in a name
unexpected. Whatever may have beei
the issues aud the fears Of the people
few months since, the fact is revealed
that we have an upright, law.abidinl
President, one who is not afraid to d.
right, or to condemn wrong, wen in bis
own party. He has won the respect
ard the admiration Of men Of al
parties. That such a period did
not come sooner Wss owing "a
many causes in human nature IN misun'
derstandings, perversities, bad blood,
prejudices, sel6shness, ignorance, hatred,
slupidity-many things that cannot now
be summed up or understood. 1t is
enough to know that ne one doubts the
Presidents sincerity of purpose or the
good temper and enthusiasm of the
Southern people, who have at every OPP
p~ortuuity greeted his appearance and his
speeches with the hesrtiest applause
We are sorry for the man who cannot
smile ard see great good in all this. The
President and his cabinet viii go back
to Washington assured not only that be
has taken the true course, but that it is
approved by the great body of the people.
This is not a victory for a party, but
for all the people. We feel that Mr..
Hayes has done more Tor the country
than his late worthy and distinguished
competitor, Mr.. Tildeu, could have done
he has had the opportunity, and, with
out consulting party leaders or profes
sional politicians, has gone forward and
performed it. Whatever distrust there
was as to his early promises, his letter of
acceptance and inaugural address-and
We all had our doubts-has been re
moved. His appearance al this time in
the Presidential chair seems provideu-
tial. The cause of free government has
received strength and sanction in the
hour of Encouragement and failure.
Let us all hope that the old Jetfersonian
test, is he honest; is be cspable2' will
henceforth be made in the selection of
all public servants from alderman to

THR pEEsIDENr AT KNoyYILLE.

The Knoxville Tribune, of the 22d,
makes this handsome editorial allusiOn
to the presidential visit:
"The President and his party have
come and gone. Their stay was brief
and, ne trust, pleasant. Certainly, if
they did not find it SO, it was not for lack
of disposition or effort on the part OF
their entertainers to render it so. AS
citizens of Knoxville, aud OF East Ten
nessee, we could butt feel somewhat proud
of the very weIlordered and evidently
cordial manifestations of hospitality yes
terday. The behavior Of the people was
admirable. There was neither rude
mesa OF the one hand, nor exces.
sive and unseemly demonstration on
the other. Republicans and Demo
Gratis seemed inspired by a common
feeling and a common purpose to make
the occasion on their part betting the
presence of the chief magistrate Of the
government. The welcome extended to
President Hayes and his companions was
digniied and earnest, rather than enthc.
siastic or boisterous. The crowd 10 at.
tendance was very large, and largely
composed Of the very best citizens Of
this section of the State, Of both parties.
We question if anywhere the President
has mel a people who listened to him
with more respectful attention or &C
corded to his u~tterances more Just and
intelligent consideration and judgment
"0f the President speech in Knoxville
we have not a word to say except in
commendation. Unless be has been
hitherto imperfectly reported, we feel
quite sure it was the most satisfactory
deliyerance be has made since leaving
Washington. There was not a sentiment
uttered tina. could have offended the
mos. sensitive or d%ispleased the mos
critical hearer. 1t was notably patriotic
and national in tone and breathed tie
spirit of cordial fellowship Besides, il
was admirably delivered. President
Hayes is a good popular speaker his
whole manner is pleasant. Our people
will certainly think better of him foI
having seer bin and heard him"

Hyncnidl - One of the most pleas
ant events in the summers history of
Mendoza was the marriage, on We'd
ncsday evening last, of our friend Mr..
G. p. Crnmley to Miss Mollie, duugh-
ter Of DR.. VIM. Gobblc. Rev. James
Fleenor, of the Lutheran Church,
OBLIGATED. Messrs John d. Thomas
and Mayor J. VI Barker, of Bristol
together with Mr.. Abe Barker, of
MENDOZA, were the attending friends
Of the bridegroom, and Misses Price,
Mollie Hendricks and Matte Gobble
the fair attendants Of the bride. A
most comely and elegant supper was
prepared for the party aud the entire
occasion was one Of the most pleasant
Of the period.
Mr.. Crumley has made himself
greatly popular in that portion of the
county, and he deserves the success he
has met in winning one Of the pref
test and most lovely maidens of the
Mort Fork.

SIDEWALK LETTER,
On THE SIDE WALK,
June Goth, 1877.

On THE SIDEWALK, |
June Goth, 1877.
The summer sun turned the angle
last Thursday, which was the longest,
as it was about the warmest day of the
year, but Friday, as if to make a show
of business, rushed upon us with q
north-wind that gave us polar expe-
riences. Saturday morning was real
ly cool, and we doubt if there has been
for years so cool a day so near the
summer stolstice. Prof. Sloan, with
his pretty bride, fled from it and went
to Polk county, on the Southern bor-
der of delightful Tennessee,
Where the warm breezes blow
And the colt on plant doth grow.
He will be back in n fortnight, when
this cruel wind is over, and will then
steer his course for the great west
there to remain. Our people like
Sloan and wish him prosperity and
fame. NV young friend G. b. Hanch-
er takes his place in King College, and
| Trims he will fill the position admi-
rably. lie has ambition, patience and
pluck.
Mr.. w. d. McCroskey, the junior
editor of the Courier, met with pain
full accident last Friday afternoon, on
his return in buggy from BIountville
Court. AS he turned out of Main
into Lee Street. in the direction of the
News Office, his horse become fright
ened by a dog and dashed toward
the livery stable, opposite which the
horse fell throwing Mr.. McCroskey
out of the buggy, his head striking a
stone and hurting him badly. He
was carried almost insenslble into
Barker's Store, where DIS Hicks and
Butler Immediately ministered TO him.
At first he was thought to be not Sc
riously injured, but on Saturday his
right leg was parali2ed.
The improvements now going on in
Bristol are worthy Of notice. Fergu-
sons block is now half up and will be
the handsOmesL ever erected in our
town. McCrOwell is putting up a
handsome wall.
The new residence of DR.. Hicks is
going up under Mr., Adams, who has
a fine lot Of brick for it. The design
will be very handsome.
DR.. d. !. Ensor has arranged
with VIM. II. Smith to put up block
on the corner of Man and Fifth.
Whether there will be two or three
buildings is not yet certain. These
improvements will give an impetus to
our town which ia worth welcoming.
The wheat crop is being cat and is
of extraordinary quality In some
portions of the neighbOr hood the
stand is thin but the grain is very su-
perior and will almost make the yield
an average one.
Mr., Joel Fleenor, on Wolf Run,
near Benham's Mill has shown me
some samples from his ield of Bouton
wheat that are as fine as amy land an
der the sun can produce. learn that
in the neighborhood the yield will be
over an average.

Regular Secretion Essential to

The regular secretion and flow OF the gastric
juices, and Of the bile which the Of Hostetters

duce materially to the restoration OF health,
whom the syst is disordered, Food is not di-

RO66Cd.-A young man named p.
?. Yoakley, of La Crosse, Arkansas,
says he was garOted and robbed last
Friday II ght on Main street in this
town. He was passing, at about half
past ten o'clock, the debris in front of
Ferguson's new brick buildings, and
some one sprang from behind the
piles of brick and caught him by the
throat. He attempted to draw his
pistol, when another man caught his
arms and held them. He says the
robbers ran through the buildings into
Harmeling's garden. The young man
staggered to the Thomas House, and
was found to have severe confusion
on the side of the head and his peck
cts were drawn wrong side out. His
pOcket-bOok. which had contained
SO, was missing, and was afterwards
found, empty, in the rear of one of the
new buildings.
Parties at the Thomas House, nearly
opposite, observed some scuflliug at
the time among the brick. Mr.. Har-
melting was unable, next morning, to
find any tracks il his garden, and
there is manifest, on the street, some
doubt about the alleged robbery. DIR.
Rhea, who had started up the street
with him, thinks the robbery actually
occurred.
We give the details as we get them,
and desire to add that this is the first
case of garoting or robbery ever said
to have happened in Bristol.
