Gle of Dir. Turner on the Congressional
problem of the sixth district, believing
that full and tree discussion of the sub

who take part in it will be in position at
the close TO give the man who succeeds
a cordial support,

the latest venture in the newspaper
world. 1t is a four-column folio, and we
think from appearance uses lamp black

is like one of old ''has neither beginning
of years, or end of days. Editor Shol-
lenbarger has our sympathy.

give to the Burg quite an animated APP
pearance-

it would be good immigration paper

ter by taking as many copies of the pa
