the case for nearly week, the Indian

Communication.
Crowded out last week.

Last evening there came under my
eye an article in the Worthington
Herald in relation to the death of
John M. Dickson, OF Fulda, Mimi,
from which I make this quotation:
Monday night the stockholders
and directors of the FuIda bank were
to have meeting for the purpose of
checking up the work of Mr.. Dickson.
And from reports that have gained
currency, his work III the bank was
not in as good shape as it should
have ben, which has given rise to
the theory that he might been on the
track with suicidal INTENT" Do the
first principles Of manhood demand
that one gather up and publish the

days the habit Of strong drink bad

friends feared for him when he form

John M. Dickson many years, even
