THIRTY years ago Mr.. A. MCGregor
took charge of the Canton Democrat He
has been connected with it ever since,
and as its editor, controlled in great
measure the Democratic policy and poll
tics of Stark county. In late issue of
his paper he takes a retrospect Of the
three decades Of his active life, and notes
the changes from then till now We
trust yet very many years of newspaper
making will fall to the lot of Mr.. Nc
Gregor. We regard him as one of the
most influential and fearless journalists
in the State.-Salem Republican.

Mt. Sterling Ky.) Democrat
General Green Clay Smith, who is

Noticing the motto over our desk,

noble sentiment. While was in con-

mont. | was told by Secretary Stan
ton that at the first cabinet meeting
after the surrender, the question as
to what should be done with the Con
federate leaders was under discussion
Some of the cabinet were for hanging
some for Imprisonment and so on
During the discussion the President
sat at the end of the table with his
legs twisted up, and said not word
At last some one appealed to him fol
his views. The Presidents reply was
Gentlemen, there has been BLOOD
enough spilled ; not another drop shal
be shed If | can help IL Said Mr.
Stanton: This reply was like thun.

FOR MEMPHIS.

The Paris intclligcncer, in discuss
ing an article from the Union and
American, which argues that just so
we have Texas and Pacific railroad
at all it makes no difference whether
Memphis is the terminus or not,
makes the following just and sensible
remarks;
While We would prefer the road, no
matter where it may cross, to no road at
all, yet we honestly think that so far as
Tennessee is concerned her interests are
with Memphis as the most eligible point
on the Mississippi river So far as Mem
phis is concerned 1t is a vital question with
her. Should the road cross at any other
point, either above or below Memphis,
the injury would be irreparable. So far
as the general interests Of Tennessee are
concerned they are with Memphis. That
city already has very extensive railroad
connection, as well as intimate COM
mercial relations with the balance o.
the State. Memphis cannot be ignored a.
the most important town between st
Louis and New Orleans, but the loss e
her in her invested capital would be ruin
Gus, not only to them, but the. whole Stat
would feel the loss. AS we have hereto
fore done, we shall earnestly advocate thu
claims Of Memphis as the eastern termi
nus Of the Texas Pacific road. And whil'
we shall urge upon our representatives II
congress the importance Of the Memphi
crossing, we think we are at the sam
time working for the best interest Of al

The Primary Cause Of a Distant
Symptom.

Nervousness is rarely disease in itself in
herent, but is the lineal offspring Of dyspep-
sia, in majority Of cases. The nervous dis
turbance is at first trifiing, but ultimately its
parent SO undermines the general health as to
produce consequences very threatening to
that great nervous center, the brain. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is the most powerful
medicinal opponent Of the ravages Of indiges-
ton, and protects the nervous system from
them. The tremOrs, the unnatural anxiety
the headaches, the sleeplessness and loss Of
appetite which eharacterizes digestive irregu-
larity and weakness, ana which are almost
dition Of the bowels and inactivity Of the
liver, are all eradicated by this matchless
corrective, and when nervousness does not
proceed from the cause designated II affords
