The Martinsville Gazette contains the following, which is applicable to every town: “If you are aware of a “local item” ot general interest you should report it to the editor. Don't wait until the paper is published, and then express surprise because the item did not appear. Editors cannot be in every place at the same time. They must gather a great deal of news from others. Let each one feel it & pleasure to furnish an item for the pa per whenever he can, and not wait for some one else ‘o report what they know. The, editor can thus he assisted and the interest of the paper greatly increased.” Many who long suffered from indescribable feelings of distress, lame back, aching joints, sores, swellings, weakness of the urinary and digestive organs, unnatural feelings of weariness, headache, nervousness, despondency, sleeplessness, disturbing dreams, partial insanity, etc., after doctoring liver, kidne> s, nerves and brain, with the various quack nostrums of the day, and being nearly frightened to death by their alarming advertisements, quietly began using Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dork and Sarsaparilla, and were agreeably surprised to quickly find themselves restored to health.

Upon reaching Oakland, however, instead of taking the Air-Line train for Princeton, he vent to the St. Charles hotel and ask :>d for a room containing two beds, but the hotel having no room with two beds he was given two rooms adjoining each other. About eight o’clock the landlady, hearing cries from the little girl, went to her room and bursting the door open found Lindsey getting up from the lounge upon which his daughter was lying. He was arrested, and failing to give bond, was taken to Princeton and placed in jail, to await the action of the grand jurv, now in session. V ___ ■ ,r ■ i,

Death Under Suspicious Circumstances/ On last Monday Coroner Withers was called to Pikeville to hold an inquest upon the body of Henry Stilwell. who died on Thursday of last week in such a manner as to create among the neighbors a Suspicion of foul play. The evidence elicited that the deceased was a simple minded man of about forty-four years of age, living with his father, Henry Stilwell, Sr., and his stepmother, Nancy StilweU; that* Nancy Stilwell beat him at divers times and seemed to take great delight in torturing him; that she had remarked to numerous persons that were she not afraid of the law she would kill him, that she did not think it would be any more harm to kill him than a brute. The testimony of- the examining physicians, however, was to the effect that lie had died from lung disease and not from violence. However there is a very bitter feeling against the woman Jn the neighborhood, which may ret result disastrously to her._ ’
