Sometime since we printed, as an
item of news, paragraph that we found
making the rounds of the press, to the
effect that Sheriff Noble and several mem
bers of the Board of Supervisors Of Will
kinson County had been indicted by the
Grand Jury for alleged malfeasance
in office. We are particularly happy to
be able to contradict the report in toto,
npon the authority of the Woodville Re-
publican, and to say that no just ground
existed for the origin of such report.

THE RECONCILIATION POLICY.


ton seems to have resulted,
so far, inasmuch as West Fe-
liciana is concerned, in the ap-
pointment to the important
position of Post Master, Of a
man particularly obnoxious to
the people. and who is noto-
riously corrupt, ignorant, in~
capable and unfit to hold office.
Out of the entire number of
knaves who have beset and
infested our Parish for some
years since, a selection more
repugnant to the tastes of our
citizens could not have been
effected. In the face of his
disgusting mental and moral
depravity. as shown in his
acts while in official position
here, and supplemented by
his sworn evidence before
Commissioner Woolfley, this
attempt to foist him again
upon this community can be
viewed as nothing less than a
direct and gratuitons insult to
the honor and intelligence of
the people.
The following extract from
the report of the Committee of
the Tax Payers Protective
Union, in 1875, will serve to
show in what estimation hewas
held at that time, as we'll as

made as to his own incapaci>

his resignation of the Parish

He has acknowledged that the PEG
