To the People Of White Oaks

While the undersigned regrets the
necessity of giving publicity to any
matter of personal nature pertaining
to himself or to any individual in the
columns of public journal, neverthe-
less, under the circumstances he feels
justified, and IN this he is Of the opinion
that the better class Of people at White
Oaks will concur in having the fol-
lowing statements published for pc.
rusal and reflection.

A. d., 1883, Mr.. Eli Fl. Chandler, a

United States Bird judicial district court
for Lincoln county, for, and at his re-
quest. utterihg check to the amount
OF 1856 in payment of the clerks fees
therein.

remember that it was Chandler who

in early days on the basis Of certain
kegs of nails, representing specie, aud
