Indignation.
Something OF ripple was created in this
community by the uncalled for assault
upon DR.. Bland and the Asylum authori.
ties in the Intelligencer. The proximity of
our people TO Weston gives them opPOrtu-

politician, and as this is granger year, the
Senator can make his mark, for his hair is
full Of nay seeds. Meeting him the other
day as he came from the harvest field, the
sweat Of manly labor dropping from his
