Col. Albert Clarke, formerly editor
and publisher of the Messenger, but
for nearly three years past the editor
of the Rutland Herald, has severed
his connection with that paper. Col.
Clarke is an able and ready writer,
and through him many improvements
have been made in the Herald which
has resulted in placing that paper in
the front rank of New England jour
nalism. 1t is not announced in what
field the colonel is to become engag-
ed hereafter, but the Monitor will
wish for him prosperous future;
likewise the same desire is expressed
for the Herald.

THE iRcURA6LE CURED.
A Remarkable ttutement from Well
known Citizen of South
Carolina.

Cancer is hereditary in my fami
", an aunt on each side having d.
ed from this dreadful disease. In
each instance the cancer was locat~
ed in identically the same position
that mine first made its appearance
just below the left eye and ex-
tending down the left cheek bone
and nose. l was attended by the
best physicians, but the case con-
tinued to grow worse under their
treatment, and no hope of a cure
could be given by them; they said.
II had better have my affairs for
this life and th} next arranged,
for the cancer was liable to strike
a vital organ at any moment, ana
at once bleed me to death. About
this time, 1886, l met with Mr..
Shirley, living near Due West,
whose cancer was being rapidly
cured by using Swift's Specific Is.
s. S. } / then gave up tie doctors
and all medicine | had here to fore
been using, and commenced tax
ing S. S. S., and after using the
third bottle. | discovered that the
scab had fallen off, and that those
sharp darling pains, so characters
tic of the cancer, had ceased, and
the discharge was very profuse.
In few days it began to heal rap,
idly and soon dried up. BY the
time l had exhausted the fifth bots
tie there was nothing left but the
scar whore the cancer had been.
and | was a well man. The cure
effeced in my case is considered
by my neighhors a most remarks
able enc and clearly demonstrates
the fact that S. SIS. DOES CURE
! CANCER. Switt's Specific is a
boon to suffering humanity. and
all l ask is, that those afflicted with
cancer give it a trial, and like mv>
self will be convinced of its vir-

4 Disorncefuf STATUTE

An esteemed correspondent asks
the Constitution if ex>confederate
soldiers can hold Official position in
the federal military service.
1t is shameful fact that an ex.
confederate, a quarter of a
century after the great civil war,
is still under the ban. During all
this time his loyalty to the govern
ment goes for nothing. He has
been taxed tt pay pensions to led !,
sral soldiers, but the nation still
refuses to recognize him. The fed
eral statute book contains this sec
ton:
"Noperson who,has served in til.
military, naval or cival service of
the so>called confederate states, or
either of the states, in instruction
during the late rebellion, shall be
appointed to any position in tie
army of the United States"
An attempt was made to repeal
this law, but the republicans de-
feated it. and Senator Malone de.
c,ared that so lar as he was con
cerned this section should remain
in force forever.
Sometimes we talk about a foreign
war. Should we he forced into
one, the ex>confederates would be
wanted as private soldiers. but
their ablest officers would be de-
MED commissions. 1t is said that
under such circumstances this in
famous law would be repealed. But
gu ch tardy act of justice
would be contemplate The blot
has been on the record long enough
to leave an indelible stain.
1t is all right. This deliberate
and longcontinued insult to a brave
people makes respectable repub-
I
lioan party in the south an utter
impossibiiity. The republican party
has often been called the party OF
hate. 1t is also in order to call 1t
the party of folly.-Constit,tio

BUCKNER BA0.
Hon. A. H. Buckner Returns to
Mexico to Reside Permanently.


From the Marshall Progress.
Judge A. III. Buckner and wife
took the train to-day for Mexico,
where they will in future reside.
We feel a pang for Saline in losing
the distinguished %jurist, pubIicist,
and political economist. Many
honored years of public service
have silvered thehead of the noble,
honest, true-hearted veteran Demo-
crat. We always felt like taking
off our hat to the Judge; he is one
of those unassuming servants of the
people who reign in their hearts
rather than in popular manifes-
tation, or the empty arts of mere
popularity seeking. The Judge
says that when he came to live
near Herndon, in this county, he
expected the Missouri Central to be
built, but that he can't live SO far
from town, and SO he is gong back
to Mexico. We think the Cleve-
land, St. Louis and Kansas City
will be blowing its whistle at
Herndon pretty soon, and hope to
see the good Judge back again.
Saline likes brains, clean hands,
and long and honorable public ser.
vice, and are as proud of such men
as any county in the State.

Mrs. W. n. French Gone to That
Home From Which no
Traveller Returns.

Mrs. W. II. French, who lived
just east of Mexico, died Sunday
morning of pneumonia after a brief
illness. Mrs. French was a devot-
ed Christian woman, and beloved
by all who knew her. Her family
has the sincerest sympathy of the
entire community in this, the
darkest hour of their lives.
Major John Harrison, the father
of Mrs. VIM. H. French, moved
from Virginia to Saline county,
No., in the year 1911. Soon after
he moved to Boone county, where
their daughter. Virginia, was born
in 1924, making her age sixty-fve
at her death. Later on the family
moved to Galloway county, where
she married VIM. II. French in
1854. Within the year they re-
moved to Audrain county, where
