Durand Express: Comrade Geo. w.
Jewell, under-sheriff, was in Durand, Mon
day, looking after his fences. The majority
of the people of this township, regardless of
party desire to see him re-appointed. He
has made an excellent officer, and no one
has ever given greater satisfaction to the
public. His great grandfather, his grand
father, and his father were each of them
soldiers i'm the cause of American liberty;
and comrade Jewell himself shOuldered his
