A number of gentlemen interested
in Clifton property were in town Thurs

never lets an opportunity pass to stab
the honorable Board of Commissioners
of the county in the back, throw out
a dirty innuendo regarding their &c.

anything connected Herewith. Mr.

foot of the county; but Of course the
great II AN of the Journal knows
more about where the county sea,
