We have heard several grave
charges against ex-Gov. Stone, but
the gravest we helleve, is that
while Governor before he burned
candles for a light at night. This
is a very serious charge and the
Colonel ought to give 10 the press
an explanation of such riotous and
extravagant household manage
ment. 1t is also charged against
him that be sometimes took his
meals at a restaurant. However,
we are inclined TO believe that he
can explain these matters salisfac-
tonly 10 all.-Kosciusko Star.
