The Argus: | have just learned
that IA story is circulating on the
street to the effect that our sheriff,
George H. Richmond, did not make
any subscription to the Patriots
fund.
l desire to state that any such
report is not true for Mr.. Rich

this fund and which was in fact
very satisfactory to this Office and
furthermore he paid the same in
full at the time of making said
subscription.
can only regard such story as
intended to be unfair to Mr.. Rich
mond and evidently being circulat-
cd for political reasons. You will
therefore oblige this Office and at
the same time do justice to Mr.
Richmond if you will publish this
statement that the public may be
correctly informed.
In conclusion l desire to state
that this being a public fund and
