4 few mouths ago Hanna was complaining
bitterly about his treatment at the hands OF
the Republicans, at whose behetsts he had la
bored SO vigorously for 10, 30 many years,

Nathan s. Robinson, only son of B. F. and
S. A. Robinson, departed this life on the 18th
inst, aged two years and one week. The
deceased had been n sufferer from scrofula, but
hopes were entertained that he was entirely
restored from its effects. About three weeks
before his death, he was taken sick, and when
physician was called it was decided that he
had tubercles on the brain, and hopes of his
recovery despaired Of His funeral took place
at the Star school house on the Eth inst, at
O'Clock. A large concourse of people were
present to sympathize with the deeply afflict-

We do not know which particular editor of
the Herald for their name is legion) wrote the
article on Frank Davis last week Whenever
politician gets grudge against the Journal
the editorial columns of the Herald are placed
at his disposal, and he becomes the editor for
the week, tobe supplanted in turn the next week
by some other politician with grudge. We
assert now as we have asserted before that
Frank Davis was brought into the last stages
of consumption by being confined in that vii
famous, filthy Jail, and that he went into the
same strong, healthy man. This statement
is based upon the statement OF his own phys
ician, DR.. Jenney, one OF our best medical
men. And DIR. Jenney makes this statement
to every one who asks him concerning the
matter. DR.. Jenney not only states this but
says that three others suffered materially in
health from being confined in that filthy place
We hope the Herald in its devotion to It's
"choice" for sheriff will not allow the little
printing that paper may get from the sherIff's
office to close its eyesto the fact that the coun
ty Jail few weeks ago, while under Longs
management, was filthier than it had ever been
before.
