A CARD OF THANKS.

Mr.. EDITOR: Permit us as friends of the late
Michael Cusick, through the columns of the
DEMOCRAT, to return our thanks to Mr.. A. Arter,
for the kindly assistance he rendered the widow
in her timely need, As stories have been put
into circulation by some malicious parties,
against Mr.. Arter, by saying that he had at
tached the goods of the widow, permit us also
to say the stories are entirely false that Mr..
Arter went security for the burial expenses to
the amount of 1885, and the widow gave him
the goods to sell to go toward the payment of
the expenses This was all done in our pres.
ence,
Respectfully yours,
J.C. COREY,
EDWIN WIELANDT,
GEORGE COOK.

got drunk, stayed that way over Sunday and on
Monday morning before day, he broke into the
DEMOCRAT office and stole a good coat and pair
of pants belonging to one of the hands. He is on
