Public Opinion carried the
news Of the disaster to DEBORAH and
Winnesheik county into nearly all
parts of the globe last week. A very
large extra edition was printed and
has been entirely exhausted. We have
been recipients of words of commenda-
tion from all sides upon the splendid
account published, and the enterprise
displayed in securing several excel
lent cuts made from photographs taken
on the morning of the food. Our last
issue was pronounced by many as the
best issue of weekly newspaper ever
printed in his county. These kindly
expressions are thoroughly appreciat.
