Fl. G.. Tinsley, Esq, of the Staunton

He came to Clifton to learn all about the

been so many loose and unwarranted
statements made in the Staunton Neans,
through it's local reporter about what
occurred, and the events and oircum-
stances attending the matter, that
we are gratifed Mr.. Tinsley has taken
the trouble to acquaint himself person
ally with the facts as they are, and give
them. to his readers. We feel sure he
will publish conservative and strictly
veritable account, such as will do i'm
partial justice to all concerned.
