is that has called forth the ill-natured re-

thus. We are sorry that Bennett should
feel so cut up about the matter however,
it. is no use whining now.

have been made that would give more
general satisfaction. If the publisher of a

entitled to consideration, we cannot con-
ceive who is. Mr. W. has long resided in
Iowa county, where he is widely and ia
vorably known, and for more than a year
