We extend, felicitations to DR.. II. B.
Kingsbury, who has just completed his
thirty-frst year in editorial harness. He
ought to be gratified at the retrospect of
his useful career. His was one Of the
pens that stirred the people to action
when Littlefeld's crowd disgraced the
State thirty years age. Now, that an
other era of extravagance and corrup-

peating the good work of it's early EN-

crowned with as much success and honor
to the State as they were then!
