We have scissorei several exceedingly
generous comments from some of our eY-
changes IN regard To the editor Of this paper
and the efforts he is now making to secure
the nomination for County Treasurer, and
next week the week after will fire
them off nj oTr readers, not iu hopes that
they will bring down the game, hat to show
what a kindly set of fellows the newspaper
men are, and how soon they "rally round
the flag when an opportunity Offers for
saying a good word for any one, aud more
especially for n member Of the journalistic
profession
We are glad to learn that the item pub
lished by three weeks ago about al
legged dastarijy attempt Ia wreck train in
the GallitZiu tunnel, had no foundation In
fact, and only regret that some one did not
call our attention To the matter at an earlier
day. Our information came from what we
cOnCeived- to be reliable source. but, nm
fortunately for its truth the story had no
better foundation than the mere fact that
the watchman in the tunnel mistoOS u large
icicle which fell from the roof for stone
and gave the danger signal to the passenger
train, rs he was in duty bound to do.

shoemaking business, IL is to he hoped that /
any person TO whom such things are pre- |
