his death by accidental drowning. The
body had evidently been in the water eight

PLANTATION BIrTERs. 1t contains alcohol !;
ana no Bitters that does not contain alcohol

the virtues of tonic vegetables nor render
them active in the system. This is chem
ical fact which no one competent to deliver
an opinion on the subject will deny. Water
tonics turn sour on the stomach, if they are
not sour to begin with, (which is frequently
the case, and produce and promote indiges-

distinctly understood that PLANTATION BIT

this it is strictly medicine, not bever-

THE Uniol has become SO accustomed
to supporting every measure that repnbi-
cans start, and praisirg everything done by
members of it's own party, that it is wonder
fully surprised that we should criticise the
action of the present Board of Supervisors.
We would have it understand that we shall
condemn the action of democratic Board
of Supervisors just as quickly as q republi-
can Board when it begins to learn and prac-
tice the ways of radicals in keeping the
true condition of county affairs from the
people. 1t is a fact that the radical county
officers have run the county and the Board
Of Supervisors in the interest Of its radical
pets, and did the same during the pas,
year. Notwithstanding q majority of the
Board are democrats, the county clerk man.
aged to delay, postpone and finally
put off altogether any action that
would show the true condition of the
county finance. If, a. the Union says, the
present Board have run the county in debt
$4,000, We should like to know where the
money went to. This is the information we
ask for, and it is the information that Clerk
Beardsley prevented the Board from laying
before the people. 1t is easy to say the
present Board is running the county in deb
at the rate of 10000, but why not tell the
whole story? Tell how much has been
paid for taxes, direct and indirect, during
the past five years, and where the money has
gone to? oh, no that isn't according to
the radical programme. That won't be
done as long as radical pets have control Of
affairs. Let the people elect few more
men like Wilson and Grennell, as members
of the Board, and we do not believe the
Union will be quite so ready and willing to
defend and praise the Board.
