should desire. 81 its own accord. To
move the interests they have here TO

Wells, or any place else, we would
not have a word 10 say. But for the
people at our county seat to have
brought about such a destructive
move Is unquestiOnGbly a low. de
based, inhuman act. and void Of all
moral principle.
We are made To believe that many
who supported this move did it with
out proper consideration or knowing
the situation OF things as they are;
but the proposition was suddenly and
forcibly made and brought 10 bear by
the hcrein.mentioncd agitating clc.
ment. and, in that way, probably.
many good. meaning men supported a
move that. in their hearts, they do not
sanction.
Now, let the good retract their acts
in this matter, and let the unjust take
