THE sENTINEL INFORMs us.

The Sentinel " informs" us that Mr.. E. A.
Higgins has not written anything for that
paper for over year, nor anything re-
garding Mr.. Waggoner or Capt. Newton
that it knows of. We nre further "in.
formed" that Forsyth Poet did endorse
Capt. Newton for Collector. Why not get
the endorsement and publish il if such is
the case? We shall fail to believe it until
you produce the document. We nre fur
lher informed that every Grand Army
man in Wood county, except ourself, and
$500 Republican voters in Wood county,
would sign an endorsement for Capt. New

ity OF the editor of the Sentinel to accept
even fiat denial, MS to MIR. ii. writing for

If il iS TO be 30 used why not ask Gov. Fos-

out in favor of the soldier? Neither have
any claim to public Office to be compared
to that OF Mr.. Waggoner, who burned the
midnight oil on daily paper for many
years before, during and since the war in
earnest and effective effort Tor the cau'e
which took the soldier into the feId-witli-

comrades money. Besides this both parties

abuudantly able to retire and live happy

Admitting that Mr.. j. W. Ross said TO o

the question, that Rice, Richie and Sher

does not admit Of the distortion OF the Ian
guage as used by the Sentinel, nor win il
