Half of the Sentinel's edition last
week announced the nomination of S.
H. Williams for congress on the Re
publican ticket, the latter half the

PLANTATION is that at the time the SEN

ternoon, the latest reports indicated
Mr.. Williams nomination, and indeed
was SO reported in the evening dailies.
A still later bulletin however, enabled
us to make the correction in the re-

formed Sheriff Gehman, that he be-
lieves it was stolen and confded to
the latter who he suspects.

who has been going over the books OF
the various county officials for the
past two or three months, completed
his work of inspection last Saturday
He declined to comment on his find
ings other than a general statement
that the conditions here were favor
able-the reverse, it may be said, of
what Mr.. OFT, the previous inspector,
reported, following his examination OF
the accounts two years ago.
The notice in the Sentinel last
week to the effect that Mr.. Samuel
Burgin and family contemplated NOV
ing to Cleveland in the near future
was Incorrect. Mr.. Burgin informs
us that he has entertained no such
idea. The Sentinel accepted the item
from its informant in good faith, TAX
ing it for granted that the latter knew
whereof he spoks. Naturally the er-
ror was annoying to Mr.. Burgin anc
the Sentinel regrets it's commission
