Bay DIS. TANNER AND RICIIARpsoN.
Somebody has imposed upon the edi-
tors of the Free Press of last Saturday
by publishing in that paper a column
and o quarter of balderdosh stuff, con-
tanning not single point, in trying to
prove that DR.. Richardson is entitled
to the credit of adjusting the dislocated
hip of Mr.. Richard Moore, last. July.
Now. it will take but few words from
us to prove that DR.. Tanner is entitled
to the credit, and we want no other evil
dence but from Mr.. Moore himself MIR.
Moore refused to pay the bill presented
BY Dr. Richardson, stating that he Or.
r. was not entitled to pay, as he had
not rendered the necessary services.
But upon the other hand, Mr.. Moore
offered to pay DR.. Tanner, stating that
he, and he only, was the person who
rendered the proper services. Now, II
DR.. Il. rendered the services why did
Mr.. Moore refuse to pay him, and offer
to pay Dr. Tanner, instead p? That's
the question.
The Shepherdstown Register is cross
with the late Legislature for its refusal
to make any appropriations for the Nor
NAL Schools. When the Register man
fully understands the "wheel within a
wheel which brought about this result
he will come to the conclusion that a
change Of representatives from Jefferson
would rebound to the interests OF her
people We are glad to learn that the
people of Jefferson are determined to
| keep up the Normal School located in
that county regardless of the adverse
lepislation-or rather of the want Of
proper legislation to sustain THAR
tinsb"rg Independent.
hag We would like if the editors OF
the Independent would explain more
fully, and speak "right out in meetin.
We cannot entertain the remotest idea
that our representatives acted in bad
faith, or "went back" on us. We be-
lieve they did their best in trying to
secure an appropriation for our Normal
School.
