The Superintendent, under good
Samaritan advice. rushed to the
Gazette Office and inspired Pur-
sell 10 make a stump speech.
The Matron of the Home writes
a letter for publication in the
Sentinel. The goody-goods who
feed at the Inlirmary on Sunday
are all on a strike against the
Sentinel Tor The awful, atrocious
act of calling attention to the
Management of Public Institu

nor run by any family, but main

Last week Lafayette Eggleston
publishes card in the Gazette,
in which he states two important
facts. First, he reads the Senti-
mel, which shows good sense, al
though it would be more to his
credit to subscribe and pay for It
and not dead beat us. 1t is we'll
enough. to get rich by playing
whisky pool, but it is small busi-
ness to dead beat reading matter
in the county papers.
The other important fact that
he mentions, Is, that he visited
the Infirmary on business. His
visit was brief, but being on bus
iness, and his stay short, he has
time and pleasure to write a long
card in the Gazette, saying that
food is abundant. We assume to
say that his dinner didn't cost
him any more than the informa-
ton he gets from the Sentinel.
Free dinner! Free press!!
The gentlemen of the Gazette
informed US last week that Uncle
John Ball desired that paper to
publish the fact that he had been
to the Poor House, had taken
dinner there, and had found eve
rything lovely. Uncle John ask
ed that this information be pub.
lished'in the Gazette ''if it would
cost nothing" The Gazette can
not afford to publish Uncle Johns
opinions for nothing, but the
Sentinelcan. Uncle Johns opin-
Idhs are of value. There is mon
ey, and experience, and age to
give his opinions weight. We
are glad to be authorized to say
that he found the Sentinel mis-
taken as to the Poor House Man.

to our people that the Sentinel
was wrong and that Uncle John
is in the army of Salvationists,
looking after the poor and the
orphan, and seeing the SiIver-s;de
TO the dark clouds that shadow
the poor.
On Monday last. Mr.. Mosei
Strawn, gentleman of -eliabil-
ity, informed US that the present
Matron had been in the home
but a short time, and that she
was doing all in her power to rid
the children of the itch. 1t sf-
fords us pleasure to say this, and
We hope her efforts will be sue
cessful.
On Tuesday last, Mr.. Nixon.
Superintendent of the Infirmary,
called at this office, bringing us a
etter for publication from an in
mate named Goldingawhich we
publish elsewhere, and which, at
Mr.. Nixon's request was sent to
lis (Nixon's) organ, the Gazette.
Nixon first took the letter to ,
ne Gazette, but that paper de-
,lined to publish it. Then he
brings it to the Sentinel, to which
t is addressed, and asks us to
end it to the Gazette and request {
